Irene Woodbury's Bling, Bliss & Blunders is a dark romantic comedy. Shane Roberts and his fianceé Jinx Larue came to Sin City from Atlantic City, New Jersey, hoping to get married. But after being embroiled in an unexpected car crash with another engaged couple, their plans are shattered, and Shane ends up in the hospital with broken ribs. Lizzie Callahan and her fiancé, Billy Hatchet, were supposed to be married in Vegas. Instead, they unwittingly find themselves in an accident that lands Billy in jail, leaving Lizzie heartbroken and lost. After an escalating series of events, Lizzie finds herself falling in love with Shane. However, Lizzie and Shane must not underestimate the vengeful rage of their former jilted lovers. Can Lizzie and Shane escape their crazy exes?

Layered with dry humor, romance, suspense, and drama, Bling, Bliss & Blunders keeps you engaged from beginning to end. Author Irene Woodbury has spun a hilarious yarn with twists and turns galore. You never know what to expect from these characters. The romance between Shane and Lizzie is sweet, and you want to see them end up together. On the other hand, Jinx and Billy are unhinged, yet you can't help but be entertained by their antics. I thoroughly enjoyed these characters. If The Hangover (the movie) were written like a romantic, dark comedy/adventure, you would probably end up with something like this. The plot is intricately crafted, and the narrative moves at a brisk pace. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories packed with dry humor, romance, and a healthy dose of delicious drama.
