Kiss Me Like You Mean It with Laura Wood at Mr B's Emporium

About This Event

Laura Wood will be in conversation at Mr B’s Emporium in Bath on Tuesday 11 August 2026, discussing her latest novel. The book is a cosy small-town romance centred on an accidental Las Vegas wedding, which forces a couple into a fake relationship while their community enthusiastically plays matchmaker. Wood is already well known for her previous rom-coms *Under Your Spell* and *Let’s Make A Scene*, as well as the *Agency for Scandal* series for younger readers. This event offers a chance to hear about her writing process and the inspiration behind the new release. Ticket prices are available on the venue’s website.

The author of Mr B's rom-com essentials Under Your Spell and Let's Make A Scene, and the brilliant Agency for Scandal series (featured on their Teen Hall of Fame), Mr B's can't wait to hear all about Laura's latest: a cosy small-town romance about an accidental Vegas marriage, two people forced to fake a relationship, and a town determined to play matchmaker. The perfect end-of-summer read for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O'Leary, and Lynn Painter! *Pre-order from Mr B's, and receive two prints featuring character art from Under Your Spell and Let's Make A Scene!* About the book: What happens in Vegas, never stays in Vegas… Waking up in a Las Vegas hotel room with her brother's best friend, and no memory of how she got there, isn't exactly rule-follower Ophelia 'Lee' Turner-Jones' finest moment. She's done her best to forget it ever happened – until a year later, when a surprise email arrives from a wedding chapel. Now Lee needs to track down her lifelong crush… and tell him that they're married. Adrenaline-seeking Nico has never stayed in one place for long, so Lee is stunned to find him settled in a small town full of loveable eccentrics in Maine. And that's not the only surprise: it turns out Nico is in desperate need of a wife. Lee could be the answer to all his problems – if he can keep his hands off her. Pretending to be happily married to the man she's secretly in love with while the whole town throws themselves into the charade, might end in disaster. Still, Lee can't help but wonder if this fake marriage could finally be the start of something real.
