THE KEY TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER
by Tip Marcello is a story about mixing business with family. It is a
complex journey mixed with sweet romances sprinkled in! I was rooting
for Pearl and Trenton - he is perfect for her. The sisters are close,
committed and compassionate. In the end, they cling together and the
friction evaporates as they lead their business into a happy and
profitable future while finding their forever togethers. I loved this
delightful tale of sisterhood. The sisters will win your heart as they did
mine and here's hoping for a sequel. THE KEY TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER is a keeper!
A charming romantic comedy about three sisters who are
struggling to keep the family wedding planning business
afloat—all the while trying to write their own
happily-ever-afters in the process.
All’s fair in love and business.
The de la Rosa family and their wedding planning business
have been creating happily ever afters in the Washington, DC
area for years, making even the most difficult bride’s day a
fairytale. But when their parents announce their retirement,
the sisters—Marisol, Janelyn, and Pearl—are determined to
take over the business themselves.
But the sisters quickly discover that the wedding business
isn’t all rings and roses. There are brides whose moods can
change at the drop of a hat; grooms who want to control
every part of the process; and couples who argue until their
big day. As emotions run high, the de la Rosa sisters
quickly realize one thing: even when disaster
strikes—whether it’s a wardrobe malfunction or a
snowmageddon in the middle of a spring wedding—they’ll
always have each other.
Perfect for fans of the witty and engaging novels of Amy E.
Reichert and Susan Mallery, The Key to Happily Ever
After is a fresh romantic comedy that celebrates the
crucial and profound power of sisterhood.
