The birds and the Bees by Milly Johnson


****4 stars
I apologize about this book. I have had it on my bookshelf for some time. I had brought it down once and made it 3-4 pages in and decided I wasn't really hip on the male character Adam. I was recently reading reviews and found other peoples interest in this book, so out of curiosity brought it back down and read it. It was fabulous! I ended up adoring Adam, just goes to show how prejudices get in the way. This book is based on misconceptions and I definitely didn't give credit where it was due. A definite must read!

Book Jacket summary:
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?
