It is blog tour time for another book! This time, Wed or Alive by Portia Macintosh
The Blurb
She’s not getting hitched. He’s just here for the ride.
Whitney’s life is not going to plan. Her romantic comedy novel isn’t selling, her career feels stuck, and by the time she realises she’s in love with her best friend and roommate, Andy, he’s back from his work trip with a fiancée – and a wedding date that is alarmingly soon.
Enter Jake: a cowboy with his own problems, including a country estate he’s desperate to buy and an owner who doesn’t trust developers – or men without roots. When a viral moment throws Whitney and Jake together, they strike a deal. Whitney gets the real-life love story publishers want. Jake gets to look like a committed, family-minded man who belongs at Rosewood. All they have to do is pretend they’re in love.
As Andy’s wedding approaches, Whitney uncovers a plot twist that could change everything for him – but the romcom she’s acting out with Jake is starting to feel dangerously real.
Falling for your best friend is complicated, but riding off into the sunset with a cowboy is pure fiction… Right?
My Review
Wed or Alive: The BRAND NEW smart and hilariously funny rom-com from Portia MacIntosh for 2026 by Portia MacIntosh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I honestly loved this story, where I was convinced one thing was going to happen. I thought I KNEW the ending, but then – PLOT TWIST – and a curveball came and moved the target!
Whitney is in a funk. Her book idea isn’t selling, her agent is trying, but all she can get are ghostwriting gigs. Plus her love life is pretty bad, too.
JJ, her agent is trying hard, as one of her besties, to set her up.
Her other long-term bestie and flatmate, Andy, is away, and Whitney has a realisation that maybe he is the one for her.,.
Here is where the plot twist hits, and I won’t tell you what it is, but let’s just mention Cowboy, and Jake… a fountain, a proposal, a lot of lies and a bit of little too late honesty…
It all makes for a fantastic beach read!
