PLAN B (Best Laid Plans #2) by JANA ASTON

‘I didn’t want to win a nice guy by default. I wanted one who chose me. One who couldn’t live without me. Not one who settled for me. I was looking for a fairy-tale, but so what? No one dreams of settling.’

Plan B by Jana Aston is the story of Daisy, Violet’s twin sister from Sure Thing, which we loved. We’ve been patiently waiting for this book and our Jana Aston fix! Jana Aston doesn’t realise this but she’s become very special to us, the more books by her we read, the more we love her. She never fails to make us laugh from crazy banter and inner monologues. We melt into puddles from the romance, and without fail, she makes us fall in love with her brilliant heroines. By the time we’ve finished her stories, we’ve adopted them as our best friends…

“Are we doing a Daddy thing now? Like, ‘call me Daddy,’ instead of baby daddy? Because I’m not into that. And that’s really something you should talk about beforehand.”
“What?” Kyle looks confused about my outburst, then he looks pissed off. “No, don’t call me Daddy. For fuck’s sake, Daisy.”

If you’ve not read Sure Thing go get it and read it, then pick up Plan B and dive straight in. These twin girls are just fan-bloody-tastic. Daisy and Violet are so incredibly sweet, funny and effervescent. However, where Violet is more introverted, cautious and a planner. Daisy is very ‘out there’ with no filter, a spur of the moment and outgoing personality. They both share a fabulous sense of humour though and they both love with all their hearts. We LOVE these girls!

“Next time I knock you up I’ll open an Instagram account so you can find me without showing up unannounced pretending to be my fiancée.”

Daisy has sworn off men. Well, that is until she meets the enigmatic Kyle Kingston. What she thought was one night stand, a blip on her ‘dick diet’, turns out to be much more than initially envisaged when she discovers she’s pregnant. Cue hilarious shenanigans in trying to locate this gorgeous baby daddy!

“But we’re just a fluke,” I remind him. “You and me.”
“Hmm,” he hums softly. “Or maybe the universe sent me exactly who I needed.”
‘Heart. Puddle. Floor.’

Kyle is just incredibly lovable, this guy is no-nonsense, humble and kind of sweet and nerdy! The one night stand with Daisy left quite the impression on Kyle. So when he’s reunited with her the circumstances throw his head into a spin. We absolutely loved the quirkiness of Daisy and how this moment came about. Kyle didn’t know what hit him!

‘Don’t be jealous of me, I want to tell her. I’m here with my one night stand baby daddy who wants to put a ring on it like it’s 1965. Nothing to be envious of here. Move along.’

The chemistry between Daisy and Kyle was palpable, their one-liners and banter absolutely hilarious! The angst level was low, the swoon factor high and we fell in love with a cat called Tubbs. Plan B was a quick entertaining read, almost too quick and we would’ve loved more Kyle which we felt was missing! As always, Jana Aston’s heroines leave such an incredible impression that the scales, for us, always weigh in their favour. Good thing they’re the absolute dogs’ bollox!!!!

“I think I’m falling in love with my wife.”
