Christ on a Ritz Cracker, y'all, THIS BOOK. It is trope-
nip to me. Weddings/wedding planners, check. Second
chances, check. Sassy heroine, check.
Plus, clocking in
at 100 pages, I read it in one sitting. Perfection for a
quiet Saturday morning, with a cup of coffee in my hand
and quiet in my house.
Leah is a wedding photographer whose career is growing by
leaps and bounds. This is thanks, in no small part, to
her connection to the hottest wedding planning business
in town, adorably called Wedding Belles. When a last
minute cancellation for a high profile wedding leaves
Wedding Belles in the lurch, Leah saves the day by
agreeing to step in last minute. One minor snag? The
wedding is too big for one photographer and the only
other available one that Wedding Belles trusts is Leah's
sworn enemy/ex-boyfriend, Jason.
Jason, for the record, is not really over Leah. And Leah
is definitely not over Jason. But they do a damn good job
of letting their pain and frustration drive interactions.
This is a second-chance story, with a dash of enemies-to-
lovers thrown in. It's clear that these two are, in the
eyes of everyone who knows them, perfect for each other.
The other characters are well acquainted with the
fireworks and have their own small hands in helping Leah
and Jason realize that taking the leap towards a
relationship is better than writhing in bitterness for
the rest of their lives. As this book is the prequel to a
forthcoming series, also called Wedding
Belles, I cannot wait to get all of their
stories!
FORM THIS DAY FORWARD is 100% recommended for
anyone who likes stories about weddings, stories about
people who are a really good at their jobs, relationships
that are a tad explosive both in and out of bed, and
introductions to new tribes of characters to get to know
over the next few books.
Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in
this prequel to USA TODAY bestselling author Lauren
Layne’s The Wedding Belles series about three high-powered
New York City women who can plan any wedding—but their own.
Up-and-coming wedding photographer Leah McHale’s career is
on the rise–thanks in no small part to the Wedding Belles,
the elite New York wedding planning agency that always
throws top-tier business Leah’s way. So when one of the
Belles asks Leah to fill in at the former First Daughter's
wedding, Leah is overjoyed to say yes–until she finds out
who she’ll be working with.
Jason Rhodes is the one man who was able to capture Leah’s
heart and, once he had it, promptly stepped all over it and
left her broken. Now he’s working side-by-side with her at
the biggest wedding of the season and Leah is determined to
give him the cold shoulder. Despite his persistence, she is
not going to fall for his charming, impish ways
again. Not even if he still has that killer, irresistible
smile...
