Benidorm, Actually by Jo Lyons

Writer's picture: HalesHales

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we will shortly be arriving in Alicante, please ensure your big lips and heavy eyebrows are securely fastened, your eyelashes are stowed in the upright position and your leg tattoos are clearly visible for landing.”



Connie Cooper’s classical music career is at a dead-end. She’s singing cheap covers to a sea of bald heads and the nearest she has been to a romantic relationship in years is watching the Bridgerton buttocks scene on a continuous loop.



The last thing she needs is to be on a flight to Benidorm with strict instructions to impress the boss of Jezebel Music. But as she tries to keep up with support band, The Dollz, and the constant flashmob dancing, the going out in less than you’d wear on the beach and their obsession with the promiscuous bearded-Nuns in the villa next door, the boss seems less and less impressed.



The clock is ticking. She’s meant to be finding her voice, not finding his brooding good-looks irresistibly attractive… How can she show him that she has what it takes to succeed?



That’s right. Instead of just being herself, she’ll follow The Dollz’ advice to dress like a low-rent stripper and impress him by pole-dancing on top of a table full of drinks.



What could go wrong?



An uplifting, laugh-out-loud, romantic comedy. Ideal for fans of Sophie Cousens, Mhairi McFarlane and Lindsey Kelk.





OMG! I loved this book! I was literally crying with laughter at one point. It was so bad that I actually had to stop reading because I couldn't carry on due to laughing so much! I love Connie, our main character, but those opening chapters with the Dollz' were just brilliant - TWERK!!!!



I felt for Connie as she was almost at the last chance saloon in terms of her singing career, and it was like the world was moving on around her, but she just couldn't get over her mother's death. We see many sides to Connie in this, and I am glad that she took the opportunity to go to Benidorm.



The Dollz' were a brilliant set of supporting characters, and you honestly wouldn't think that they had actual jobs with the way that they behave. They do make for excellent reading though, and it kept me guessing what they were going to get up to next..


I can't finish my review without mentioning Mr. Window Seat - I honestly don't know how he did it! It turns out that he was a pivotal character who gave us some great scenes and added some drama too.!



Brilliantly written and I just loved it! If you need cheering up then this is the book for you! You can grab a copy here #Aff (If you buy a copy through this link I get a teeny commission of the sale from Amazon)


Huge Thanks to Love Books Tours and Jo Lyons for my place on the blog tour.
