Product Description

Product Description

Molly Parker is a DWAG – a darts wife and girlfriend. Or rather, she’s an ex-DWAG after divorcing Paul “Bad Lad” Parker, a professional darts player and the self-pronounced Geordie pantomime villain of the sport, after catching him aiming more than his arrows in the direction of more than a few very willing glamour models.
So, leaving her life – and her ex-husband - behind in their native North East of England, she moves to the Canarian island of Tenerife with her best friend Fran, putting the past behind her, determined to start a whole new life abroad.
Within months of arriving on the island she finds herself engaged to her Spanish boyfriend Antonio – a handsome Canarian bar owner - and with their whirlwind wedding just weeks away she’s the happiest she’s been in a long time with a great job at a Timeshare complex, fantastic friends, and a lovely little home in a country she’s fallen completely in love with.
But what Molly didn’t bank on was her ex-husband turning up out of the blue declaring his undying love for her and begging her to come back to him - and not just because his darts were suffering! His unannounced arrival turns Molly’s new and seemingly perfect life upside down as she suddenly has to face up to feelings she’d thought were long gone, and make decisions she never thought she’d have to make as her whole world is thrown into total confusion. Does she stay in Tenerife and marry her wonderful, romantic, drop-dead-gorgeous Spanish fiancé? Or does she give the man she’d once loved but who’d treated her so badly another chance? Days in the sun or darts – it’s the choice she has to make. Throw in a Bolton-born lounge singer and a Take That tribute act, a famous TV actor with a reputation as a shameless flirt, and a major darts tournament that throws up more than it’s fair share of surprises, and all of a sudden Molly Parker’s life really is ‘Too Much Trouble in Paradise’ – a romantic comedy; a story of new beginnings, second chances, sun, sea - and darts!

Michelle Betham is also the author of the epic, two-decade-spanning Hollywood romance 'No Matter What' and the follow-up 'Illusions of Love', the edgy and sexy rock 'n' roll romance 'See You At The Show', the romantic comedy 'Bon Voyage', sexy soccer romance 'Striker', and a short Christmas novella, 'Christmas Without Icing'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much to like...except the characters! 18 Aug 2012
By Mezley
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Written in a catchy, narrative style, this was fun read. However, the main protagonist, Molly, is such a self centred and thoughtless cow that I really didn't care what she did, as she flitted between Antonio (God knows why he puts up with her) and Paul (an equally unlikeable scroat). The supporting characters of Fran, Simon and others were similarly unbelievable. But it kept me engaged, whiled away a few hours on the beach, just a shame the cast weren't more likeable, because otherwise, I'd be looking out for more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another cracking read 2 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I loved this book, the characters are so real I felt as if I knew them and laughed and cried along with them. Great humour and you really feel for poor Molly. Only trouble in paradise I found was that the book was over so soon!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read! 7 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the second ebook I've read by this author and I'm quickly becoming converted to reading in this format!

This was another great story - I wasn't sure it would be my cup of tea as I thought it would be all about darts which isn't my thing at all (sorry Michelle!!) but it isn't.

There are lots of twists and turns to the plot, with lots of humour along the way and a whole bunch of very likeable characters.

This book is very definitely worth a read!

I can't believe this author hasn't been snapped up by a publisher yet - I'll definitely be buying her third book and am looking forward to more books from Michelle in the future.
