Summary

After a string of bad dates, Florence Gray is so over online dating. So much so, that if she has to survive another guy standing her up she might just do something crazy...like accept the first proposal she gets.

So when she finds herself alone in the bar, again, Florence can hardly believe her eyes or ears when Hugh Humphreys swoops in and presents her with an proposal so adventurous she can't believe she's actually considering saying yes.

Because, after all, 25 days to plan a wedding is some feat and that’s while getting to know your fiancé, their disapproving mother and dealing with a jealous ex. Throw in the small matter of where they should live and you have Florence wondering what the hell she's gotten herself into.

Can you really countdown to a wedding like an advent calendar? Fall in love with a stranger and make them your husband? Because if she's going to make it down the aisle Christmas morning, Florence has to find out and fast.

fun, sweet and sexy!

Sweet, funny rom-com with a healthy dose of absolute crazy and sexy. I listened to the audio version and it was a fun light hearted story about a couple and their very Adventurous Proposal. It was easy listening and was great to listen to an English accent. Told from Florence's POV, it was fairly short but very entertaining with a bit of drama and an unusual hea. 3.75 very enjoyable stars

Enjoyable chick-lit

This has a silly storyline, arranging a wedding after one date but you know what I enjoyed it :)

Florence meets Hugh after being stood up and they seem to have a connection which leads to an Adventurous Proposal!!!

Hugh, I wasn't sure about at first he came across a bit pompous, but he grew on me. Florence is a successful, down to earth woman, she comes from a working-class background and liked to express herself.

I enjoyed their story, the bumps along the way and watching their sexual attraction grow, not forgetting feelings...

I actually listened to the audio version and the narrator made the book a fun listen. The characters were distinct which added to their personalities from the writing.

This isn't a long book, perfect for an afternoon read/listen. An enjoyable chick-lit read.

short and sweet

I loved this short listen by laura Barnard, it had humor in all the right places a little bit of drama (but what do you expect on a wedding day at short notice) the narration was good and the character suited the narrators voice , it did sound a bit echoed at times but it didn't take away from the story at all
really enjoyable

A Fabulous Listen

I love Laura Barnard's humour, hers are stories that you can truly relate to and this one, on audio, was wonderful to listen to. The narrator Karena Gregory did an amazing job with this book her voice was very easy to listen to and kept me entertained whilst I worked. There were times I laughed out loud, so it is a very good job I work on my own or I'd have been getting some strange looks.

An Adventurous Proposal is exactly what this story is about. A couple, Florence and Hugh, have both been stood up on a date, so decide to make the most of the night together. They have had about enough of online dating and being stood up. Well after a good night of a lot of talking and enjoying each others company, they go their separate ways. However, Hugh comes back with an Adventurous Proposal! These characters are great and so easy to relate to.

I would definitely recommend this Audio version of a brilliant story.

Funny and sweet

I have read several of Laura's books but this is the first I have listened to. The story is a rom-com with a festive Christmas feel, the characters are relatable and the narrator does a good job of bringing them to life. There are several laugh out loud moments and a few twists and the hea is perfect.

a heartfelt but yet still humorous relatable novel

This is the first book I have read by this author and on the day I listened I was looking for an easy going / short guilty pleasure read. The book did not fail to deliver everything i was looking for. In fact I would have even liked it to be a bit longer and that is saying something. I genuinely adored this book its romantic / heartfelt but still contains so much humour. I was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review
