Honey, We Missed Our Honeymoon

By: Angie Pepper

Narrated by: Tiffany Williams

Malorie Meyers has a wedding dress in her closet. The cleaners did an amazing job, considering the condition it was in on Malorie’s wedding day. The other guests at the B&B where Malorie takes her honeymoon keep asking why she’s there alone. It’s a long story, she tells them, then she makes an excuse to not tell it.

Now, there’s a new man in Malorie’s life. He’s perfect. Even his dog is perfect. There’s just one problem. He thinks the wedding dress in the closet belongs to Malorie’s best friend.

What’s he going to do when he finds out Malorie lied? And what’s Malorie going to do when she finds out his big secret?

There are plenty of LOLs and exciting moments to swoon over on Malorie Meyers’ bumpy journey toward love.

Coming March 2021, from USA Today best-selling author Angela Pepper, writing under her romance name Angie Pepper.

Note: This is a new full-length novel based on a short story originally published in 2014 under the pen name Mimi Strong.

Chapter one:

Malorie Meyers sat alone in her rented room, gazing longingly out the window. The rain that had been pouring down for five days had finally cleared, and people were out enjoying the sun in groups of two, three, four, five, and more. There wasn't a single person walking solo on the busy sidewalk below the quaint bed-and-breakfast.

Lonely people knew better than to subject others to their loneliness. They stayed holed up in their rooms where they belonged, with the television on and three abandoned paperbacks on the bedside table.

It was a good thing that Malorie would be flying back home tomorrow. At home, the kids who worked at the coffee shop had learned how to spell Malorie's name. That was basically the same as having friends. Also, back home in the city, she didn't have to answer pesky questions about why she was all alone in the honeymoon suite at the extremely romantic Half-Moon B and B.

Malorie tore her gaze away from the window and surveyed the room. The bed, covered in sumptuous red linens, beckoned her to sleep. She could slumber until this terrible idea of a vacation could finally end. Great idea, but it was only two o' clock. Even with the prescription pills her doctor had provided the week before, she wouldn't be able to sleep straight through until checkout time.

Malorie checked her phone for the one millionth time.

There were no new message from Lars.

She sent him a text: You should see this room! Wish you were here.

She didn't send a photo of herself wrapped in the red silky sheets. Malorie did have some dignity. Plus, she had already sent one the day before, to no response.

There was a scratch at the door.

"Just a sec," she called out, frantically removing her wrinkled and food-stained shirt. She replaced it with another shirt that was merely wrinkled.

Malorie opened to door to find her new buddy, a basset hound named Bingo, staring up at her with his adorable saggy face. Standing behind Bingo was the human known as Albert, one of the owners of Half-Moon B and B.

Albert, a flamboyant man of 62, said, "Bingo needs to get outside for some fresh air. And so do you, honey." He handed Malorie the leash. "The sun is shining. I know your stay here didn't work out the way you'd hoped, but you are not going to waste your last day with us. When people stay at the Half-Moon B and B, a good time is guaranteed. Do not make me force you to have a good time."

Malorie accepted the leash. "I guess I can take Bingo for a walk," she said, her voice monotone.

"He'd better come back smiling," Albert said.

The power of the perfect dress

This story starts out with a runaway groom, a honeymoon for one, ice cream and stollen dogs. It is funny and entertaining as well as sharing a story of possibilities.

Desserts, Dog-napping, Dresses, Deception, Destiny

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third installment in Angie Pepper's Clean Romantic Comedy series - however you can jump in here. There is a new cast of characters and relationships so no knowledge of prior books is required. There is a quick nod to the characters from the first two books but that is all it is.

What a night! Mallory was stood up at the altar and decides to go on her honeymoon anyway in hopes of reconnecting with her on-again off-again fiance. On the last night of her lonely trip she decides to on taking a chance with a young ice cream shop owner and his adorable dog. One thing leads to another and she's taken his dog back home with her.

This story is about trying to figure out when to let go, when to give things a chance and figuring out what you want. As always, Angie Pepper surrounds our heroine with a delightfully colorful cast. There is even some LGBT representation this time around from an adorable couple of older gentlemen.

The romance aspect is not as straight forward but it is endearing and hilarious. Especially the POVs from the dog.

Tiffany Williams voices this eclectic cast and gets to throw in several accents to book. She is always a joy to listen to.

This story will delight you with its charm, wit, humor, heart and a little bit of magic (not of the Wisteria variety)

I look forward to more stories in the world and hopefully get to see more of these characters in future volumes.

Great Read

Honey, We Missed Our Honeymoon was a good read by Angie Pepper. Calorie Meyers has a wedding dress in her closet and she is taking her honeymoon at a B&B. The other guests are asking her why she's alone. Calorie meets a new man and he's perfect and thinks the wedding dress in her closet is her best friends. But what happens if he finds out that she lied to him. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

Funny and sweet...:)

It's book three in the series and I love this one best; it has all the elements I look for in a romance: likeable characters, a lot of warm humour and some surprises on the way to the happily ever after...:)

The starting point is quite sad: Malorie finds herself in a beautiful town, in a sweet B&B with two wonderful owners, on her honeymoon... The only drawback? She's there alone and unmarried - her husband-to-be left her at the altar... So, is she unhappy, is she in despair and heartbroken? You'd think she should be but... that's where the story turns into a completely unexpected direction and takes you on a wonderful ride along crazy Russians, kidnapped dogs, and vanishing wedding dresses:)

It's a kind of romance that will make you laugh a lot while still providing quite a few totally emotional moments...:) I think it's the best out of four I've listened to so far in the series.

Narration by Ms Williams is again fantastic. I especially like the way she reads the parts of the Russian characters:) But all the voices she does are great and match the characters perfectly. It's a great interpretation of the book.

love the characters.

This romantic story is sure to draw you in like it did me, it has an animal drawcard and icecream attraction. This narrator always does a fine job of the differing characters and is a pleasure to listen to.
Recommended.

Sweet

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator was great for that part and I love a HEA. The beginning had me going one way and the book took me another. I enjoyed that is subverted my expectations.

Honey, We Missed Our Honeymoon

This was such a fun listen! Who new the chain of events that would happen after such an embarrassing situation and the fun characters it leads her to meet. I really liked the book and the light hearted listen that it gave me.

Cute story

Cute short story with a few unsuspected twists. Mallory, the leading character, grows socially with the help of a fur baby. She & Sasha have an interesting friendship start. The dog-napper side story and the perspective of Princess provided comedy. The wedding dress song was a nice addition. The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.

loved it

Really cute and heartwarming story of a dress that knows when a couple are perfect for each other

Tiffany Williams narration brings life to a story like no one I've listened to before.

I received this audible free and I'm happy to be able to provide my honest review.
