2.5 stars; I truly hated the main hero :( But it was well written and there was a cute dog. ( )

There is a reason that this author is a bestselling one. It is because of her ability to create characters that feel real amidst a story that tugs at one's heartstrings. I know that with every new story that I read by her that I can be guaranteed to have my emotions react in a myriad of ways.

This story is no different as it takes a wedding planner, Avery, that believes in love and wants it for herself, and a man, Carter, that doesn't. It is a case of opposites attract. It should be cliche but it is anything but. This is because of this author's ability to weave a tale that sucks her audience in. I felt like I was along on the ride and was in Avery's shoes. I wouldn't have warmed up to Carter very fast either. In fact, I didn't. I struggled with liking him for her. However, my feelings changed as the story progressed. Fantastic secondary characters and definitely some future stories could come from this book.

If you are on the fence about reading this, or any of the author's previous work, don't be. She truly is special. ( )

A good 'summer romp' that was fun to read. Overall I enjoyed the characters and the blossoming romance. ( )
