Summary:
Rebecca has chosen the most luscious, five tiered, wedding cake – as featured in Hello! Magazine. The engagement ring that she has selected is celebrity inspired. The wedding singer is on speed dial. He doesn’t usually do Michael Bolton, but as it’s for a first dance he’ll make an exception. Father Maguire is checking dates for the parish church as we speak. The deposit on the white sand honeymoon is paid for in full on Barry’s card. Sure, the resort was good enough for Pierce Brosnan when he tied the knot. She has fallen for an ivory lace couture gown that is to die for. The down payment may require her to sell a left kidney, but it will be worth it. Isn’t that why you have two? There’s one teeny problem. It’s nothing, really. No need to panic! It’s just that Barry has yet to propose. Says he’s not ready! He can be a bit of a kill joy that way. It’s time to face the harsh reality – she is a bride without a groom. Truth be told, Barry’s had enough. There’s only so much wedding talk that one man can take. Discovering the credit card statement is the final straw. Now he’s leaving for a conference in Bangkok and frankly, he’s looking forward to the peace and quiet. He says he needs time to think about their relationship. As the Tiger beer flows and the tie loosens, his colleague Shelley is providing more than a shoulder for him to cry on. Maybe Shelley is right. Maybe Rebecca only wants the big day. Back in Dublin, Rebecca worries. Maybe she has pushed Barry too far this time. Best mates Pam and Emer are on hand for counseling and cocktails. With the help of family, friends and a well stocked drinks cabinet, Rebecca puts her cunning plan together. Operation ‘Win Back Barry’ is in full swing. She needs to convince Barry that she’s not crazy – just crazy about him. But wait… who is the mysterious woman that is so keen to talk to her, and what is it that Barry needs to get off his chest?
My Thoughts:
Bride without a groom, the 1st book in this series cemented my love for Amy Lynch’s writing. I enjoyed so much I had a hard time put it down, and I am so grateful Amy gave a me a copy in exchange of a honest review and since I loved it so much I pick it to be the post on my birthday!
I’m not the type that love characters like Rebecca who dream to have their fairytale wedding because I don’t relate to them, but something about this brizellia make fall for her maybe it was all the confident she wear, but I have to said the lack of interest that she puts in others bothers me a little bit but I think it’s with a purpose to make this brizellia to another new level.
Barry is her long term boyfriend, he is attractive, but no so smart I guess because he figure out Shelly intentions until the damage is done, Oh just like all the men.
The story is far from boring. Rebecca is enough to hook readers with all her annoying stuff and what will connect you to her is how much you’ll want to be so confident as her even when she isn’t a model fit rather she is a 10 size and still feel gorgeous and love herself.
Through the pages you realize that she isn’t that selfish only wanting a big dream wedding, she really want that happy ending with Barry because she loves him and wants all but just with him.
Overall, bride without a groom is a wonderful hilarious story in which you’ll laugh a lot with all the situations around planning the wedding of your life. It’s a sweet fun story that will leave you with a huge smile on your face and of course wanting to know if Barry and Rebecca get their happy ending and if so how everything would workout.

Mis Pensamientos:
Novia sin novio, el primero libro de esta serie consolidó mi amor por la escritura de Amy Lynch. Me gustó tanto que me costó mucho lo dejarlo para ir a dormir, y estoy muy agradecida con Amy ya que me dio una copia a cambio de una revisión honesta y ya que me encantó tanto por eso lo escogi para que fuera el post de mi cumpleaños!
Yo no soy el tipo que ama personajes como Rebecca que sueñan con tener su boda de cuento de hadas ya que no me identifico con ellas, pero algo en esta brizellia me hizo enamorarme de ella tal vez era toda la confianza en que tenia, pero tengo que decir la falta de interés que pone en los demás me molesta un poco, pero creo que es con el propósito de hacer de este brizellia a otro nuevo nivel.
Barry es su novio de largo plazo, es atractivo, pero no tan inteligente supongo ya que él averigua las intenciones Shelly hasta que el daño ya está hecho, Oh como todos los hombres.
La historia está lejos de ser aburrida. Rebecca es suficiente para enganchar a los lectores con todas sus cosas locas y esto los conectará a ella creo que es la cantidad confianza que tiene ella, incluso cuando ella no es un modelo de pasarela y mas bien es una talla 10 y todavÃa se siente magnÃfica y se ama asi misma.
A través de las páginas te das cuenta de que ella no es tan egoÃsta al sólo querer una gran boda de sus sueños, ella realmente quiere ese final feliz con Barry porque ella lo ama y quiere que todo, pero sólo con él.
En general, la novia sin novio es una hilarante historia maravillosa en la que te reirás mucho con todas las situaciones en torno a la planificación de la boda de su vida. Es una historia dulce con diversión que te dejará con una enorme sonrisa en su cara y por supuesto que al final vas a querer saber si Barry y Rebecca tienen su final feliz y si es asà cómo fue.
