The blurb - Amazon

Slapper. Slut. Adulteress. These are hardly words that Sophie Penhalligan would normally use to describe herself. Yet this is exactly how she is behaving, all things considered, even if she isn’t quite married to Tim yet. And it’s all happening because her past is coming to tempt her! Nine years ago, she met her teenage idol and rock star extraordinaire, Dan, up close and personal. Well, almost. Now Dan has crash-landed back in her life.

Sophie is happily embroiled in a relationship with Tim, her boyfriend of two years. Until recently, she was confident Tim would eventually propose—probably as soon as he could get his act together. But just as Tim’s persistent inaction is beginning to cast a cloud over their relationship, Dan’s sudden reappearance turns Sophie’s world upside down.

One fine day in Paris, Sophie suddenly finds herself engaged to Dan while her erstwhile fiancé Tim is…well, doing whatever it is Tim does back in London. What is she to do now? Who wouldn’t give anything to meet their favorite star, let alone marry him?

Find out how Sophie gets into this impossible situation, and how she turns it around, in Sophie’s Turn, the honest, funny and sometimes bittersweet story of one woman’s entanglement with a rock star. 

When the main character, Sophie asked for the chance to tell her story I felt I had to give her a chance.
She is by no means a good girl. In fact, she is cheating on her boyfriend/fiance with a crush from her younger days.

I am not happy to read about affairs, and if I come across them in novels I read I do like to get past them quite quickly. This was not going to be possible with Sophie, Time and Dan as this novel tells the story of this trio, but I did feel compelled to read on and find out what happens.

Nicky Wells writes a page turner that keeps the reader wanting to know more and this is why I continued to read. I just had to know whether Tim would change his ways, and how the story between Sophie and Dan would end, even though I didn't particularly care for any of the characters and their morals.

Well written and exciting with never a dull moment, I want to read more of Nicky's novels.

4.5 out of 5 for me.
1 out of 5 for the characters morals! :)
