Crossword Genius

Book journey for honeymooner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bride

'honeymooner' is the definition.
(bride is a kind of honeymooner)

'book journey' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'b'.
'journey' becomes 'ride' (riding is a kind of journeying).
'b'+'ride'='BRIDE'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bride that I've seen before include "woman in front of train" , "new union member" , "Marriageable woman" , "Wedding day woman" , "Groom's partner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
