The Great Escape by Charlotte FallowfieldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was very kindly provided with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have given The Great Escape 5 stars.
I don't even know where to begin with this book! Charlotte has knocked it right out of the ball park with the second installment to the Dilbury Village series. It was fabulous, funny, flirty and everything in between. I enjoyed the first installment but this one just blew me away!!
Georgie takes center stage as we head back to Dilbury Village for another tale of love and friendship.
One thing I did appreciate was that the toilet humor in this book was kept to a minimum and what we did get to read had me laughing out loud, it was the perfect amount to keep you laughing until the end without being disgusting! This book really was the right amount of funny, sexy and heartbreak!
Charlotte Fallowfield is a superb writer, not one to be missed. One click this now, you won't be disappointed.

A tropical beach paradise in Mexico was the last place Georgie Basset expected her decimated heart to be jump-started again, not after she’d been jilted the year before by her fiancé, leading to said breakage. But when she spotted Weston Argent jogging along the beach, all bronzed with ripped muscles like some Greek God out of a modern day Baywatch scene, she nearly choked on her cocktail. She knew immediately she was in trouble, she’d never reacted so strongly to a man on first glance.
However, after a disastrous first date with him, she headed back home to Dilbury, resigned to never seeing him again. That is, until Weston turned up unexpectedly at her dog grooming parlour with Bertie the French bulldog, a species she had a real weakness for. She couldn’t help but wonder if fate was playing a helping hand. But each time she saw him, their encounters never went smoothly, resulting in some mortifying and hilarious escapades. Despite their undeniable attraction, there was something about Weston that she couldn’t quite put her finger on, something that concerned her.
When the truth finally came to light, Georgie was convinced that all men were dogs, except she knew that was an insult to dogkind. Ever the meddler, her best friend, Abbie, intervened, knowing in her heart that despite what had happened, Weston was full of good intentions, and was undoubtedly Georgie’s Prince Charming.
The question remained, could he convince Georgie of that, or would he forever remain in the dog house?
While The Great Escape is a standalone story, it's the second in the Dilbury Village series of romantic comedy novels. All of them will be set in the quaint fictitious English hamlet in the Shropshire countryside, but feature a different village couples' story.
Warning, if you are of a sensitive disposition when it comes to toilet humour, then the Dilbury Village series may not be for you!
