Straight-laced Rose loves books, swimming and the folk choir. So when her gregarious best friend arrives home from a ten year around-the-world trip, her safe, comfortable existence is thrown into disarray. Rose is persuaded to take on the role of Matron of Honour, but not for a traditional church wedding: the ceremony is to take to take place on a Mediterranean beach. She is promised sun, sea, sand and a rousing good time. But how will she cope with her fear of flying, mosquitoes, men, and everything else that takes her out of her comfort zone? Will she survive a ten day holiday with an over-excited bride to be, a bossy bridesmaid and a moody, enigmatic best man? Take a dip in the ocean and relax in the sun with Julia Sutton's 'Cocktails, Wedding Bells and Summer Madness' - a dazzling summer romance that combines love, laughter and friendship.
