And the Bride Wore Prada by Katie Oliver is the 1st in her Marrying Mr Darcy series of chick-lit contemporary f/m romantic comedies inspired by the novels of Jane Austen (but not actually Austen-derivative like the many sequels and AU rewrites), following from the previous Dating Mr Darcy trilogy of such, centred around the lives of an heiress and a celebrity, free courtesy of publisher Harlequin UK's Carina spin-off imprint, which is apparently kept strictly separate from the mothership's Carina Press imprint.
This was the iTunes UK store's featured Free Book of the Week, and we did also get it along with the sequel and a whole bunch of other Carina (non-Press) books as a
glitch freebie several months ago.
Currently free, possibly just for the rest of the day @
B&N UK,
Amazon UK,
iTunes UK, and
Kobo (available to the UK; this didn't seem to be free in any of the usual other EU/Oceania/Commonwealth regional iTunes/Amazon stores I spot-checked which often also get the UK freebies, but YMMV), and probably also Google Play UK.
Description
She’s dated Mr Darcy…
After being hounded by the paparazzi ever since news of their engagement got out, Gemma and Dominic are flying to Scotland for a much-needed romantic getaway. But they didn’t expect to find Dominic’s ex, Natalie, and her husband Rhys, on the very same flight! Landing in a torrential blizzard and with only one hire car (let alone a limo!) between them, the four share a lift….but as the snowdrifts move in, stranding them in an isolated castle, it seems they’ll be reunited for longer than planned!
Now it’s time to say ‘I do!’
In the face of adversity, Gemma does what any self-respecting celebrity fiancée would do: starts planning a last-minute wedding while she has Dominic to herself! After all, where better for a discreetly decadent wedding than in the middle of nowhere, miles from the nearest celebrity news desk? But marrying an A-lister away from prying eyes was never going to be easy. Will Gemma make it up the aisle? And, more importantly, now she’s miles away from Vera Wang, what is this fashionista going to wear?!
And the Bride Wore Prada is the sensational first book in Katie Oliver’s long-awaited ‘Marrying Mr Darcy’ series, the follow-up to her best-selling ‘Dating Mr Darcy’ trilogy.
