Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Walking down the aisle, yet again, Abbie Carter feels the doom of the curse. With eight hideous dresses filling her attic, Abbie has more bridesmaid dresses than dates. Unlucky in love is an understatement. However, when she locks eyes with a sexy groomsman, everything changes. Suddenly, Miller Davis only has eyes for her. But proximity is an evil villain. With an ocean separating them, a relationship is out of the question. Abbie can't even bond well with her elderly, fat pooch Mr. Sumo. She can't possibly make it work with a New Yorker so far away … could she? And Miller persistence makes her want so much more.

Will she find a way to make one last trip down the aisle?

A laugh-out-loud novel from Charlotte Fallowfield, Amazon U.K. #1 bestselling contemporary romance author of Until We Collide.

While Never The Bride is a standalone story, it's the first in the Dilbury Village series of romantic comedy novels. All of them will be set in the quaint fictitious English hamlet in the Shropshire countryside, but feature a different village couples' story.

Warning, if you are of a sensitive disposition when it comes to toilet humour, then the Dilbury Village series may not be for you!
Praise:

"Hilarious, full of friendship and romance with a huge side-order of comedy. Perfect light hearted escapism!" Kitty French, USA Today bestselling author.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun read
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023

Abbie is a serial bridesmaid. A pact with school chums has earned her quite a few dresses for the attic (think 27 Dresses). She racks up a few during this story, which is how she meets Miller. He's a handsome Yank, sweet with her and her gassy pooch. And all her besties, too. But he lives on the other side of the Pond. How can they make a relationship work?

This was a such a fun story, from Chubbalicious's sharts to Abbie's penchant for mayhem at the weddings she attends. There was also a toilet incident at a lord's house. Horrifyingly hilarious!!

Abbie is a great person, helping her elderly neighbors as if they were her own parents. But she's resigned to never meeting her perfect match. Miller is hesitant to put it all on the line because he's never been with a woman who valued him over his wallet. He's super rich, so a valid concern. Together, they will muddle through to become a family. A good read from beginning to end, even when I felt like crying.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun, quirky story. Very British and sweet.

I had a little trouble with the "love at first sight", seemed more like lust to me. But once I got more into the story the relationship became more believable and real. The conflict wasn't resolved overnight and they had to really work things out like a real life couple would have to do in their same circumstances. That was refreshing.

I LOVED that there was a little bit more than just an epilogue for this couple. *SPOILER* You see them get married and adjust to life and then you get a lovely epilogue 5 years later. Great end!

This book has a lot of sexual innuendos (very British humor, in my opinion, but funny), but no explicit sex scenes. There is a lot of bathroom humor. Which was funny...but got quite old by the end of the book.

The synopsis gives a great idea as to exactly what this book is all about. Abbie, unlucky in the love department watches as her school friends gradually get married, she is always the bridesmaid and never the bride. Even when a gorgeous hunk rescues her it seems that fate has a hand to play as they live different side of the Atlantic.

I cannot believe I have only just discovered this book that has been sat on my kindle since I bought it in 2017. I was hunting for a light-hearted rom-com to lighten my reading mood as I had been on a crime reading-athon for a couple of weeks. Never The Bride more than filled the requirements for what I wanted.

The author has some absolutely brilliant characters and boy does she use to them to great and often humorous effect. There is a good deal of very British, close to the mark humour that had me sniggering and laughing as I was reading. Now don't think this is all comedy because it isn't, there are also some very sad moments.

This is a story about relationships and friendships in a small village near Shrewsbury. I adored the humour as well as the characters such as Daphne, Georgie, Abbie, Heath, Miller and the very flatulent Mr Sumo. The different ways Abbie finds herself in the midst of disaster, usually with Georgie in toe at some point is brilliant.

The book had me with tears in my eyes on several occasions mostly from the sniggering and laughing as well as from the occasional sad part. This was an absolutely brilliant read and if you are after a bok to lift your spirits then this is one I would defiantly recommend, I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out loud, yet emotional book
Reviewed in Germany on June 21, 2017

Fallowfield is definitely one of my new favourite authors. Very beautifully written, the characters just get under your skin. Fallowfield's writing style is very easy-going, yet at the same time manages to build in emotional topics like deaths and losses. I was on an emotional rollercoaster while reading this book - laughing at one point and almost crying the next. A couple of jokes are a little bit too over the top for my liking, but I loved the book none the less. Makes you wish there was a real Miller in real life. Can't wait for the other books of this series to come out.

This is the perfect book for a holiday...or a rainy afternoon in front of the fire.....or a lazy morning in bed..or just about anywhere and anytime. But not when your husband is trying to sleep in the bed beside you. Who knew that suppressed laughter could make the bed shake so much? A really funny and delightful book. I can't wait to return to Dilbury in the next one. Thank you Charlotte.
