Bagging Alice - Laura Barnard

Blurb

Alice is used to taking photographs for a living – not having intimate pictures of herself posted for all the world to see, thanks to a disgruntled ex-boyfriend. Now her clients are cancelling appointments, and she’s almost out of cash. What else could go wrong? Oh yeah, her room mate has scarpered leaving Alice completely out of luck.

Enter Tom ‘man whore’ Maddens. Having disappointed his father one time too many, he moves to Brighton, ready for a new start. And where better to begin it than in Alice’s newly-vacant spare room? And if he tries to seduce her at the same time? Well he’s just living up to his reputation isn’t he?

But then he didn’t bank on actually falling for her. Will his reputation as a commitment phobe put a stop to any sparks between the pair? Or can Alice put aside her trust issues and take a leap of faith for Tom?

Review

Alice has had a lot of bad luck and after a series of unfortunate events she ends up having to welcome Tom "man-whore" Maddens into her home as her flatmate. In true man-whore style Tom has bet his friends he can bag Alice before he moves out. Sparks soon start flying between the pair who love to hate each other. Then Tom brings an adorable but trouble-making puppy to the mix..... is it a recipe of disaster or Alice fall for Tom's charms?

This is novel had me laughing out loud from page one! Written from both Alice and Tom's viewpoints you get well rounded perspectives of both characters. The antics Alice and Tom get into with the puppy are hilarious. Overall it is a fun, feisty & fabulous read, with a few touching moments. A perfect pick me up for these gloomy autumn days.

Thanks to Laura Barnard for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
