    I really liked this book. I love that even though it was a whirlwind romance, it included a lot of the usual ups and downs of a relationship. It feels like all of those are condensed in a this really well done book.

    The book did have the cliches of a romance book. But i still think it was executed really well.

    The minor characters are great too with their distinct personalities. I love that they really made the book better.

    I definitely liked and enjoyed this book. And it does feel so festive! I did wish they said Merry Christmas on their wedding day. LOL!

    Several places in this book I laughed till I cried. Some of the situations Flo was put into were really funny.
    This was a new idea for a book that I had never imagined and I loved it. Well written, well edited.
    The only thing I could have a problem with is the rough language, although the book might not be as good without it.
    I will try Barnard’s writing again.
    Might even make a decent movie with the right actors.

    I am pretty sure the 1 star people have no sense of the ridiculous. Such a fun read. Such a twist on the classic rich boy / poor girl story. She isn't all the poor though. It is written set in England, so get used to knickers instead of panties, etc. But, have fun as 2 strangers get to know each other in the 25 days from hello to wed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Christmas romance
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I love the idea of this fun romance. After both Flo and Hugh have been stood up yet again, they start talking to each other in the bar. They get along so well that Hugh proposes later that night. BUT, even more shocking is that he wants to get married Christmas day. That's only 25 days! Amazingly, Flo accepted.

    They have a lot to do in a short time if they want to pull off this wedding. Lucky for them, they have great friends. Even though everyone thought this couple were off their rockers, they were supportive and were amazing helpers. They really pulled through, making the lack of money and time, minor problems.

    It was hard enough trying to get everything done on time, but add a horrible mother of the groom and a witch of an ex and you have a mess on your hands.

    This was a humorous romance that took place at Christmas but could be read at any time. The fact that they both wanted to get married for various reasons out-weighed the lack of connection between them. I didn't get the feeling that they were a really good match but they definitely were attracted to each other. That was the reason I gave it 3.5 stars. That and the swearing. I don't mind swearing but this couple couldn't say a sentence without swearing. Especially Flo. There was way too much for no reason.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 13, 2016

    Have you ever read something so sweet it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Well this is how Adventurous Proposal made me feel today.
    It totally wraps you up in a warm fluffy blanket and makes you want to watch old christmas movies.
    I absolutely loved this book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to fall in love with the perfect leading lady and gentleman.
    Flo Gray and Hugh Humphrey were made for each other.He's her soulmate who just happened to get stood up on the same night as she did.
    He's a bit impulsive but it totally works and if being impulsive gets you stair aerobics and changing room frolics then sign me up.
    Hugh and Flo are from different backgrounds but they just work so well together.
    Even when people try to throw spanners in the works on regular occasions they manage to pull together.
    I just adored this book and really wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars as it deserves so much more.
    I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Knocks Your Socks Off!
    Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    It's not every day you read a story that knocks your socks off! Without the help of supernatural beings, paranormal phenomenon, or intergalactic aliens, Laura Barnard has captured the magic of love in totally outrageous circumstances. This is an unbelievably quirky tale involving two individuals fed up with the dating scene, the overbearing prospective mother/monster-in-law, and the ever-present ex-fiancee - thank goodness for loyal, steadfast friends. Would definitely recommend, and look forward to reading more from this author. There is some coarse language and smutty scenes, but is relevant and does not detract from the work.
