The little village of Weddington is fast becoming THE place to get married. With its stately home, castle and two churches it has something for everyone, and now, famous after appearing in huge romcom movie hit A Little In Love, it’s hosting a monthly wedding fayre…
Rose Pedal is the proud owner of Pedals & Prosecco, a brand new business serving ice-cold fizz from a vintage bicycle, and she’s excited to be attending her first wedding fayre. But, on the way to Weddington Hall she’s involved in a near miss crash involving dashingly handsome James from Blume’s Florist.
Arriving at the beautiful stately home drenched and disheveled, Rose is horrified to find James is not only not sorry for nearly knocking her off her bike, but he’s gatecrashing her allocated spot on the lawn. His arrogance gets her back up and it’s definitely a case of hate at first sight. But as the wedding fayre season continues, James gently wins Rose over, and their relationship starts to bloom.
Can being just ‘a little in love’ help Rose and James find their own happy-ending…
A Little in Love is the most charming romantic comedy you’ll read this year, from a hugely talented author, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Phillipa Ashley and Cressida McLaughlin.

My thoughts: I really liked the idea of Pedals & Prosecco, it’s cute and unusual, and Rose seems like a total sweetheart. I’ve been to a few wedding fairs, back when I was planning my own, and found them a bit overwhelming, the smaller ones were nicer, and most of the people seemed lovely, which is what Rose finds when she joins her local wedding fair circuit. Except for an obnoxious wedding planner and the florist who almost runs her over!
He turns out to be actually quite charming and kind, unlike his awful dad and brother, they were terrible. But Rose has great support in her mum and dad, grandparents and best friends. And when she hits a stumbling block in business and love, they’re there to scoop her up and get her back on her bike!
The path to true love is never easy and both Rose and James have to overcome a few tricky things to get there. But in love and in business, they might just make it with the help of those around them and some determination. A charming and enjoyable read, I was rooting for Rose all the way.
