Lucy has known true loss in her life when her fiancé was
killed in a tragic
accident a couple of years ago. Distraught at the thought
of moving on
without him, Lucy throws herself into her graphic design
business,
alongside her best friend Fintan, and their company is
flourishing. But when
fate steps in and places an extremely handsome and
fascinating author,
Greg Millar, in Lucy's path, she cannot help but feel
energised. This funny,
successful, exciting man who truly understands her
feelings of grief, wants
her to marry him - can you really fall in love so
quickly?
Caught up in this whirlwind romance, Lucy agrees to spend
the summer in
Greg's home in France, getting to know his two young
children. But life is
never quite as it seems. Lucy struggles to connect with
Greg's daughter
who makes it clear from the beginning that she wants
nothing to do with
Lucy. Throw in a nanny determined to sabotage her
relationship, a fiancé
who is behaving erratically and the fact that her career
is suffering under all
of the pressure, and Lucy begins to doubt if she has made
the wrong
decision. But their complicated journey is only just
beginning...
THE ACCIDENTAL LIFE OF GREG MILLAR by Aimee Alexander is
an
emotional tale that made me laugh and cry in equal
measure. This novel is
so much more than a love story - it is about believing
that love can make it
through the toughest of situations as long as you never
give up. Lucy is a
strong, determined and sympathetic character and I loved
her honesty, and
ability to pick herself up and keep going. Greg is
exciting, adventurous and
romantic but he loses his footing in life when he is
forced to face up to his
own issues. With amazing depth and aplomb, the author
effortlessly
weaves both serious topics and laughter, throughout THE
ACCIDENTAL
LIFE OF GREG MILLAR and I could not put this book down!
Lucy Arigho’s first encounter with Greg Millar is far from
promising, but she soon realises he possesses a charm that
is impossible to resist. Just eight whirlwind weeks after
their first meeting, level-headed career girl Lucy is
seriously considering his pleas to marry him and asking
herself if she could really be stepmother material.
But before Lucy can make a final decision about becoming
part of Greg’s world, events plunge her right into it. On
holiday in the South of France, things start to unravel. Her
future stepchildren won’t accept her, the interfering nanny
resents her, and they’re stuck in a heat wave that won’t let
up. And then there’s Greg. His behaviour becomes
increasingly bizarre and Lucy begins to wonder whether his
larger-than-life personality hides something darker—and
whether she knows him at all.
