And when her excited mum announces that she’s coming to stay, Emily can think of only one man to play the part: gorgeous ex-soldier, Sam. It’s the best part of her day, handing him a coffee every morning – but then, Emily never expected to offer him her hand in marriage, too… It's a few days until Christmas and our leading lady Emily needs a man to pretend to be her husband as her mum is coming to town. The book starts with Emily proposing to a man called Sam. The only thing is Sam is homeless and he really doesn't want to pretend to be married to Emily. Emily needs a husband…fast. It’s just a few days until Christmas and to finally put a stop to her nagging mother’s matchmaking plans, Emily has convinced her that she’s already married! Why would I miss Sam being homeless? That was a horrible thing to miss. I should be happy that I didn’t see him sitting on the floor in all weathers every morning. One of those rare books I can see myself revisiting time and again. I laughed. I cried. I laughed some more.' - The Well Read Pirate Queen

Now, to get away from the OH MY GOD, IMAGINE A GAY, then one other gem of a joke and a passing fancy that caught me off guard: I received an e-copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion towards the book. Emily needs a husband...fast. It’s just a few days until Christmas and to finally put a stop to her nagging mother’s matchmaking plans, Emily has convinced her that she’s already married! This is a great feel good Christmas book. It is about love, friendship, family, finding yourself and happiness. It will have you rethinking your views on homeless people. It will have you laughing and it will play on your heart strings. But most importantly it will make you happy it will make you feel Christmassy and leave you with a happy feeling and a big smile on your face. I loved itWhy do I have to have a man in my life? Is that the only thing that should define me as a woman? I think not. I’m perfectly happy on my own.” It's Christmas time and that can only mean one thing: family time! It's all well and good to see your family over Christmas; just as long as you haven't told them that you have gotten married.... All that’s left is for Sam to say ‘I do’ – it’s the perfect plan! So why then, do her ‘pretend’ feelings for Sam seem far too real? And when her excited mum announces that she’s coming to stay, Emily can think of only one man to play the part: gorgeous ex-soldier, Sam. It’s the best part of her day, handing him a coffee every morning – but then, Emily never expected to offer him her hand in marriage, too... Emily's mum Pam plans to visit her daughter with her new husband len but when she finds out he has been sleeping with someone else she comes on here own. Making Emily and Sams lie harder to distinguish from the truth and pushing them closer together.

When I first spotted this book on Carina's Facebook account I just knew that I had to go and buy it. After all, with a title like 'Marry Me Tomorrow', how can anyone let that go by them without reading it?! Far too curious for my own good. Fans of Jo Thomas, Catherine Walsh and Philippa Ashley will love this heartwarming read from Carla Burgess. Praise for Carla Burgess:

Funny and romantic, with a predictably good ending. A romance that makes you giggle!’ – Kitty Loves Books One of those rare books I can see myself revisiting time and again. I laughed. I cried. I laughed some more.’ – The Well Read Pirate Queen Yes, she gave me this big lecture about how I should reassure you that it was okay and I would accept you no matter what. I told her that you knew that anyway.’ Mum popped a forkful of curry in her mouth, apparently pleased with her response. I gulped down some wine. Maybe I wouldn’t go to the sodding meal either. ‘So, you see, Sam, you have to be there.’
