About the Author
Trisha Ashley was born in St. Helens, Lancashire, and now lives in the beautiful surroundings of North Wales. Her last book, A WINTER'S TALE, was a Sunday Times bestseller. Trisha's own wedding day was far less wacky than the ceremonies in this book, for which she is truly grateful!

Customer Reviews

Where will sophy be next time
The reviews above explain the plot so i will just say
Another brill book - it subtly includes the characters from winters end...a must read book if you haven't already. It made me happy, sad, and even cry, the characters and their lives are that beleiveable. Well done Trisha, hope you never stop writing.

Trisha Ashley does it again!
Wedding Tiers is the story of Josie Gray who no longer believes in love - which is unfortunate when her job is to make weird and wonderful wedding cakes. This is a gentle romance, packed with eccentric lovable characters, gorgeous men and er, chickens.

My favourite bits include the various wacky weddings (shades of Richard Curtis), the Goth couple and Aggie the escapologist chicken.

Will Josie finally be "clucky in love"? You'll have to read it to find out!

Trisha does it again
If it's to be satisfying, this kind of feel-good writing needs to have some basis in reality. Trisha Ashley is really good at taking highly romantic situations and then adding her own special brand of wit, charm and common sense.

So, while lots of novels of this kind are just escapist fluff about improbable heroines in ditto situations, Trisha's stories have substance. When I read her novels, I can identify with and become her heroines. While I was reading Wedding Tiers, I actually was Josie. I cried with Josie, I laughed with Josie, and - like Josie - I ended up with the man of my dreams. Well, I didn't, actually, but that's another story, and Josie's experiences made me believe that one day I might.

We all need to be reminded that love is for everyone - for ordinary people, as well as for celebrities and beauty queens, and that the best things in life can come to all of us. This is what good romantic fiction does - it tells a great story, but it also confirms what we all hope: that, with a bit of luck, we can all find love.
