I received The Honeymooner by Melanie Summers through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this book was really good! It was humorous without being dumb, and the characters were flawed, but likable. I am definitely going to look for more books by this author. If you're on the fence, buy this book!

Libby is jilted on her wedding day. She decides to go on her honeymoon anyway, on her own, and plans to get Richard to want her back, so she can have the life she has so carefully planned.
Once on the island, she meets Harrison. When they first meet they don't know who each other really is, once they find out and he realises she is from the global company wanting to buy up his resort, things change between them. As they spend more time together they start to fall for each other, so what will happen as Libby's time of the island comes to an end?

Entertaining read, and looking forward to the next in this series.

I loved this one Libby was left at the ulter by her fiancé and she rises up and goes on a work vacation slash honeymoon on her own so vacation plus a new love interest makes for a good book!!!!

This is a book for your holiday if you like romantic comedies, at parts this book made me literally laugh out loud. It was very predictable, I knew exactly what was going to happen but this is the case with most romantic comedies. I enjoyed this book, a very easy read and would read the next in the series to see what happens

I love Melanie Summers, and her newest series certainly doesn't disappoint! The Honeymooner follows Libby Dewitt as she is left at the alter and then goes on her work trip/honeymoon alone. At the resort that her company is looking to take over, she finds love and herself. The characters and plot, while a bit cliched, are well-developed and lead to some truly laugh-out-loud moments. The Honeymooner is the perfect book to enjoy poolside this summer!

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Is there anything better than a love story, where people least expect it? The answer? No. Obviously. Add in an island paradise, an impossibly good looking man and a relatable, fun heroine, then you've got a fantastic read - whether you're in warm weather or not.
A gorgeous love story about Libby, who has just been left jilted at the altar, deciding to go on her honeymoon/business trip (yes, she combined them), to inspect a beautiful resort that her company wants to acquire. Now this is where she meets handsome Harrison, resort owner, adventurer and all round great guy (especially when compared to Libby's ex-fiance...) Of course, many adventures ensue, entanglements in rainforests, parasailing, and scary experiences on wobbly bridges, and Libby begins to learn to have her adventurous side show a little....
Characters:
I mean, is there really that much to say here? I loved both Libby and Harrison, and they really did work well together. Harrison manages to bring out a side in ultra-prepared Libby that aids in her character development and it was wonderful to watch how they grew together. Libby is smart, witty and warm, and Harrison is funny, warm and adventurous - perfectly complementing one another. I loved them!
Storyline:
Perfect pacing, storyline - I loved it all! Whilst the basis of their story - jilted bride finding new love - is not unusual, the added twist of the business report Libby has to write adds a bit of drama and tension which was lovely to read along with.
Overall:
Clearly, I have nothing bad to say - I really did enjoy this novel. It's the kind of novel that makes you feel warm inside (and not just because of the tropical setting). Perfect to curl up with, with a tropical drink. Cheers!

Note: I was generously provided an ARC of this novel, by the publisher and the author via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Libby is left at the alter by her usually predictable fiancé and all her carefully laid plans are ruined. Not wanting to be anything like her hippie dippy mother, Libbie usually has everything planned down to the minute. Deciding to go on her honeymoon, since part of it was a work trip anyway, she plans to let loose a bit before meeting with the owner of the Paradise Bay resort to discuss business.. Her fiancé called her boring so Libby decides to start taking chances when she meets Reef at the hotel bar. Unfortunately, Reef is Harrison's nickname and he's the owner of the resort! Despite being wildly attracted to each other, they are on opposite sides of the business deal Libby is proposing so it gets complicated. Lots of humor and romance make this a sweet read.

Omg- I loved this one! It was so witty and the writing was hilarious. Several times I laughed out loud. It’s rare I like both the hero and the heroine but they were both so so good in this one. I won’t give spoilers but read this!!!! Can’t wait for the next one. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC!

The Honeymooner by Melanie Summers may be the first book I've read by the author but it won't be my last. Perfect for a beach vacation or a long weekend, The Honeymooner is a well written, light hearted and fun read.
This is one book that will leave you with a satisfied smile on your face.

I really liked it. Some parts of it was funny as I imagined it, but it shows you can rise up after something bad has happened in your life

Tbh, I was pretty annoyed at the heroine by page 1; she was too much for me. Then I felt bad for her, but was still annoyed by how in denial she was. But then I loved her! As for the hero, I was pretty annoyed at him too; way too hero complex. But then I loved him too!

So what I’m saying is, even if it annoys you a bit, stick with it because it gets better. So much better. And now I’m desperately awaiting the sequel!!!

This was such fun to read - well-written but also basically Hallmark + sex. I enjoyed it and look forward to the rest of the series.

I enjoyed this book so much. This was the first book that I've read by this author. The storyline and book cover are the first things I noticed and it didn't disappoint. The book was from two points of view - the main character Libby - and Harrison Banks, the owner of the resort. Such a fun, quick beach read. It was funny, endearing and just a feel good rom com novel. I read it in one day! I highly recommend!

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC. Looking forward to reading more from this author!

Maybe readers who can look past the most cliched elements of this genre (chick-lit) but this novel seem far too predictable for me. The characters themselves seem to fit the usual stereotypes: the whole 'opposite attracts', she is hard-working, he is laid-back...
I wasn't a fan of her thinking that she is different from other women:
"I'm not that kind of girl"
I'm so tired of reading this phrase and the implications that it carries (other women are flirty etc.).
The humour felt very forced.
As I said (or wrote) readers who can look bast overdone tropes might enjoy this.

This is a super fun rom com, which was both enjoyable and easy to read. I’ve never read anything by Melanie Summers before- but I definitely will be looking at more of her books. This book is charming and I didn’t want to put it down. I loved it! I definitely recommend.
