    About this ebook

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jill Mansell captivates with a madcap tale of the games lovers play.

    Who will make the next move?

    How does one become accidentally engaged? That's what Suzy Curtis thinks when she suddenly finds herself very publicly engaged to handsome Harry Fitzallan, local town hero. Harry wants famous rock star Jaz to be his best man—only he's Suzy's ex-husband and a recovering alcoholic. Suzy's half sister Lucille loves getting to know the family she'd never met, but she can't help her attraction to Jaz, nor can Suzy quash her entirely inappropriate feelings for Leo, Harry's engaged brother!

    With all these wild players at the table, mayhem is bound to ensue. As each new piece comes into play, everyone has more to lose, and the only way to win is if you're good at the games of love...

    Praise for The Unexpected Consequences of Love:

    "A perfect escape…full of the kind of joy that Mansell's readers have come to savor and that new readers will have a hard time resisting." —RT Book Reviews, 4 stars

    "A charming and, at times, madcap romantic comedy." —Booklist

    "Mansell will be your remedy for years to come." —Night Owl Reviews, 4 ½ stars, Top Pick

    • 4/5
      In an interesting twist, the main character is not exactly looking for love, but rather trying to extricate herself from an engagement she was bullied into. Suzy is funny and likable, despite her many flaws.
    • 4/5
      Another of Mansell's earlier titles seeing its first US publication. Some of the cultural references are slightly outdated, but the heart of the story is still lovely and delightful. There are bits of the plot that test the bounds of credibility and Julia remains more of a caricature than a character, but these things don't affect the satisfaction of the multiple HEAs.
