Product Description
Romance writer and single mum Stevie Honeywell has only weeks to go to her wedding when her fiance Matthew runs off with her glamorous new friend Jo MacLean. It feels like history repeating itself for Stevie, but this time she is determined to win back her man. She isn't going to act as he might expect. She isn't going to wail and dig her heels in, she is simply going to pretend to let him go whilst she pursues a mad course of dieting, exercising and self-improvement. And it feels like history is repeating itself for Adam MacLean too, who is also determined to win his lady, Jo, back with the same basic psychological tactics. Then he is going to initiate his master plan: Getting together with Stevie to drive Jo wild with jealousy. So, like the Scottish country jig 'The Birds and the Bees', the couples all change partners and learn some revealing truths about each other along the way. But what happens when Adam's master plan actually starts to work? And just who will Stevie be dancing with when the music stops?

Another Charming Read by Milly Johnson,
By
This review is from: Birds and the Bees (Paperback)
This novel had the same Milly Johnson charm, wit and humour I have come to expect from her books. I did enjoy her other three novels slightly more than this one, but it was still a lovely read.Stevie Honeywell is a romance writer whose husband leaves her for sexy Jo McLean only weeks before they were to walk down the aisle. Determined to win him back, she embarks on a self improvement regimen including dieting and exercise. Adam McLean is also just as eager to win back his wife Jo, who left him for Stevie's fiancé, and when he suggests an outrageous plan to Stevie about them pretending to be a couple to attempt to win them back, she hesitates, but then agrees. But just who exactly will everyone end up with and will Stevie get her romantic ending? I giggled frequently as I tend to do with Milly Johnson's novels and a few scenes have been firmly imprinted in my mind (no spoilers). I liked the characters, and fell in love with Stevie's best friend. I find she portrays the supporting characters so well I want them to have more of a roll in her stories - maybe that's why she has interconnecting characters in her novels? There were times I wanted to shake the main characters though in aggravation. They couldn't see past their own desire to get their husband/wife back and couldn't move on which annoyed me at times. Other than that and it being slightly predictable, this was a nice romantic read, full of insight on broken marriage and finding love. Milly Johnson still remains one of my favourite new chick lit authors. Seriously, go pick up some of her books today! Chick lit lovers will not be disappointed.
