The Wedding Proposal Sue Moorcroft 9781781891711 Books

I have never read a Sue Moorcroft book before and now I can’t wait to get my grubby mitts on them all. The Wedding Proposal is so confidently written that the reader can just sit back, relax and be taken on a warm, boat holiday with lovely heroine, Elle.

Elle has never been able to do enough to win over her parents’ affection. After marrying young and badly she buried herself in her work, until she met handsome Lucas. But that went badly too. Now, four difficult years later, Elle has been made redundant and a well-meaning but meddling friend has leant her his boat in Malta for the summer while she volunteers for a local children’s centre. But there’s another passenger on board…Lucas.

Can Elle and Lucas co-exist without dreading up past hurts and opening wounds? Can Elle ignore the disappointment in her heart when Lucas’s girlfriend shows up? And will life as a volunteer be as easy as she was hoping?

As charming and sexy as Lucas is, my real crush was on Elle. I loved her. I wanted to go out for a few chilled glasses of white wine on the marina with her and have a giggle. She’s a straight-laced gal and finds trusting difficult but has a heart of gold and a fun side that can be tempted out if she can forget her past hurts. And escaping with her to gorgeous sunny Malta was the perfect remedy for living in cold, rainy Yorkshire. Gorgeous.

The Wedding Proposal Sue Moorcroft 9781781891711 Books Reviews

Sun, chilled wine, salmon & prawns poolside + Sue Moorcroft’s, ‘The Wedding Proposal’, = holiday perfection. I tweeted this while away – and I meant it. As a busy person, desperately in need of a restful break (aren’t we all?), I would have been seriously peeved if this book hadn’t delivered. It did, totally. I was transported from Portugal to Malta in a flash and have to congratulate the author on exactly the right attention to detail, painting an atmospheric, believable backdrop to the story. From the yachts bobbing lazily in the sun-drenched port, to the sun-scorched, dusty Maltese backstreets, I was there.

To the story, which actually turns around a proposal past and a wedding that never came to fruition, Four years on, thanks to a well-meaning uncle playing cupid, the couple are thrown together again, each having left their lives behind to build new ones on, of all confined places, a yacht, gorgeously named, The Shady Lady. For Elle, recovery from the painful relationship gone wrong meant throwing herself into her well-paid IT job. Made redundant, she’s there to put her IT skills to use for free, volunteering to help the underprivileged children of Malta, and never in her wildest dreams did her future plans include Lucas. Lucas has abandoned the future he had planned with Elle and wants no more from life than to swim the wide blue ocean as a divemaster, where he certainly didn’t expect to bump into the woman who’d walked out on him and broken his heart. Phew! Great premise, or what?

I won’t give the whole plot away, except to say funds don’t allow either of them to find alternative accommodation. They’re stuck, living together, yet not, in a boat just forty-two feet in length and they are going to have to accommodate each other somehow. Throw into the pot some excellent secondary characters, including a loathsome male volunteer who clearly doesn’t have the children’s emotional welfare at heart, Lucas’s parents, who never approved of Elle, and a wonderful little boy, Carmelo, who, with his too big shorts, too small shirt and dysfunctional home-life, will melt hearts, and you have a fabulously satisfying anytime of the year read. There are some lovely twists and turns and the mystery of Elle’s past is drip-fed perfectly. Thank you, Sue Moorcroft, for providing me all the essentials in my holiday read. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, The Wedding Proposal.
