    About this series

    A British chick lit romantic comedy novel.

    *** This book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone (no cliffhanger). ***

    Expect little, forgive much?

    After a whirlwind courtship, Brittany Beresford married her Prince Charming and looked forward to living happily ever after. Five years later, she’s been reduced to a not-quite-desperate housewife, with a husband who spends more time flossing his teeth than holding meaningful conversations with her.

    She braves his disapproval and turns working mother and, other than feeling far more drawn to a handsome baker she works with than him, things seem to be looking up. But then she discovers that his “hobbies” include something even worse than golf - and he expects her to put up and shut up.

    Fairy tale illusions shattered, but still believing marriage is for life and wanting the best for her son, Brittany has a choice to make: should she follow her heart, or her conscience?

      'Wedding Hells' is a 5500 word, laugh-out-loud British chick lit short story. Mel Parker's perfect little sister is getting married and she'd rather cut her own arm off than attend. Her relatives are guaranteed to give her hell about not going first, her dress is unbearable and her beloved best friend Will isn't even invited. But her boyfriend is there. And there'll be cake. So maybe it won't be as bad as she thinks. Maybe it'll be worse... 'Wedding Hells' can be read as a stand-alone short story, but is also a prequel to the romantic comedy novel 'The Dr Pepper Prophecies' by the same author. Praise for 'The Dr Pepper Prophecies': ''The Dr Pepper Prophecies' is a riot. I confess I laughed [at] almost every page.' --DG, Badass Book Reviews 'I couldn't put it down and read it so quickly. This author has a fantastic way with words and knows how to engage the reader.' --Nicola Smith, What Nikki Read 'I loved 'The Dr Pepper Prophecies'. It's an entertaining and satisfying book with a little romance and a whole load of girl power.' --Ian Seta, The Indie Bookshelf 'This book is hysterical.' 'Anyone who enjoys chick lit will really love this one!' 'The perfect feel-good read.' 'Jennifer Gilby Roberts has a wicked sense of humour that helps to convey a brilliant story.' 'I stayed up late last night to finish reading this - couldn't wait to see what would happen next!' --Readers on Goodreads and Amazon

In these she learned the real truth of business: that every successful executive would be lost without their PA.She can also be found getting red-faced at zumba class, reading historical porn (as her husband calls it - Regency romance to the rest of us) and humming nursery rhymes while going round Tesco. Her current obsessions include toffee crisp bars, Costa fruit coolers and the TV show 'Torchwood'.
