Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for this brilliant, and witty new release from Daisy James. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Welcome to The Cornish Confetti Agency!
When the grand finale of Lexie Harrington’s catwalk show ends with a disastrous twist on the ‘ice bucket challenge’, she knew her highly-strung boss would fire her on the spot. What she wasn’t expecting was to bump into her fiancé cosied up with an attractive blonde in the restaurant opposite their apartment!
Desperate to escape her heartbreak, Lexie flees to her childhood home of St Ives to hold the fort at The Cornish Confetti Agency for her best friend Freya, leader of the yummy mummy network and firm believer in ‘happily ever afters’. Little did she know that delivering a Caribbean-themed wedding in sunny Cornwall would rival the fashion industry for drama, tantrums and mysterious goings on.
Who is responsible for dousing the bridesmaid’s dress with tomato ketchup? Or hiding the bride’s beloved Jimmy Choos? Or attaching googly eyes to everything in sight?
The perfect Cornish wedding? Is there such a thing for The Cornish Confetti Agency?
My Review
This is the start of a brilliant new series from Daisy James and I loved it from the first page to the last.
Lexie Harrington loves her job working as an event planner for her incredibly demanding boss. That is until disaster strikes and he fires Lexie.
Devastated at the loss of her job Lexie heads home to share her news with her Fiancé only to find him looking all loved up with a with a beautiful blonde in the restaurant opposite their apartment. This another huge blow for Lexie especially as they were due to get married in just three weeks.
Lexie calls her best friend Freya who lives in St. Ives, who suggest that Lexie help her out with her business and head to Cornwall. This is the break that Lexie needs so she jumps at the chance and heads to Cornwall without telling Elliott.
The new role that Lexie will be doing is a wedding planner. Her first wedding is a huge Caribbean theme at a luxury hotel.
Lexie did a great job as an event planner so Freya is confident that Lexie will be able to work her magic with the wedding.
What Lexie had not bargained for was having to deal with the mystery of who spilled ketchup on the bridesmaid dress just days before the wedding, then there was the missing wedding shoes and the googly eyes stuck on everything. Lexie is determined to get to the bottom of the mysteries before the big day. But with more revelations and tantrums ahead will she be able to make it the perfect wedding for the Cornish Confetti Agency?
This is a truly witty and funny read that will really keep you entertained.
The writing style captures the essence of the stress of weddings as much as it does the beauty of it and of the surroundings too.
Lexie is a wonderful character to read about. She has suffered two huge blows to her life in such a short space of time but is trying her hardest to be strong and show that she can be in control of her life. It is great to see her blossom and grow as you read through the book. This is in part to the wonderful supportive friends she has around her.
The setting of this book sounds idyllic and the perfect background for some romance.
This is the first book in the new series and I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next in Cornwall.

About the Author
Daisy James loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plotlines. She especially likes to create sunshine-filled settings in exotic locations - the Caribbean, Tuscany, Cornwall, Provence - so she can spend her time envisioning her characters enjoying the fabulous scenery and sampling the local food and drink.
When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of something fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea - china plates and teacups are a must.
