The Blonde Diaries

I am a sucker for a book with a hot pink cover. If you put a book in a pink cover, 95% of the time I will buy it or read it. I have found though that not all books in a hot pink cover are very good. Nevertheless, when I was walking past the library book shelf, Accidentally Engaged caught my eyes and I had to check it out. Boy am I glad I picked it up and brought it home. This was a hilarious book. It was so good that I am going to start looking for my own copy soon.

Accidentally Engaged is the story of Clair Ivars, a tarot card reader who gets caught in the middle of family drama when a bride and her future sister in law (sil) come in for a reading 2 weeks before the wedding. The SIL tries bribing Clair for a good reading and the bride wants a bad reading so she can bail on the entire thing. Clair decides the bride needs the help more so she give the bad reading and is left to straighten things out when the bride leaves the 3 carat diamond engagement ring behind as well as her fiance’s name and address.

So rather than go on her much needed vacation, Clair heads to the wine estate to return the ring. Along the way we meet the evil future mother in law, the hot gardener with a surprising twist at the end, the jilted groom, and the grandma pulling the wool over the families eyes. We also learn why the bride wants to run away from the wedding – because she is being haunted by a ghost (but not any ghost it is Clair’s grandmother’s ghost!). There is something tugging on Clair though which draws her into the estate and keeps her much longer than she was expecting to stay. You definitely want to find out what all of the twists and turns in this book are as they will really get you laughing and bring a smile to your face. As I said earlier, I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to read it again and again.

This review is just my opinion. I was not paid for this review nor did I receive this book for free or at a reduced price other than what bookcloseouts.com was selling it for when I happened to place my last order.
