After 8 years of waiting...he's got 1 month to make her his.
Sex and the City meets The
Wedding Planner in The Wedding Belles, a contemporary and witty
romance series about three high-powered New York City women who can plan any
wedding—but their own.
Alexis
Morgan has spent the past six years devoted to turning her tiny start-up into
Manhattan’s premiere wedding planning company, The Wedding Belles. Now that her
business is thriving, it’s time to turn towards her much neglected personal
life, and Alexis approaches her relationships like she does everything else:
with a plan. Not a part of that plan is Logan Harris, the
silent partner in the Belles, and the one person who’s been there for her since
the very beginning. But Alexis needs someone fun, and Logan’s all business, all
the time—except when a late night at the office ends with an unexpected kiss
that leaves the usually cool and together Alexis reeling.
Logan
has lusted after Alexis since the day he walked into the tiny Harlem apartment
that used to double as her office. But the ambitious wedding planner has always
been untouchable...until now. Alexis has made it clear that she’s on the dating
market—and equally clear that he’s not in the running. But when Alexis finds
herself in need of a date for her sister’s last minute wedding in Florida,
Logan knows it’s the perfect time to show Alexis that there’s more to him than
numbers and spreadsheets—and beneath the pinstripes and glasses lies a hot-blooded
heartthrob. As Florida’s sultry days turn into even hotter nights, Logan’s out
to convince Alexis that the fling of a lifetime could just maybe turn into
forever...
Alexis Morgan is finally making her dreams come true, by owning her own
wedding planning boutique, we'll she will if she could get funding…luckily for
her, her English knight (aka Logan Harris) can make her dreams come true! But
is it too much to good to be true that a guy offered her money, in a dive bar
of all places, to help her start up Wedding Belles? And is Alexis willing to
accept a silent partner, in her dream? The answer would be yes!
Logan Harris; British CPA and silent partner in Wedding Belles! But no
closer to Alexis! He has loved her from the moment he met her, in that bar, but it's 8 years later and nothing has
changed! Accept his demands from his parents to come home and run the family
business.
Logan has decided to give it his all with Alexis! To help her get past
the pain of a broken love! And if she
doesn't accept him…he will give up everything, including their partnership!!
FINALLY!! We are finally at Logan and Alexis story, and I have to say,
this is the one I have been most excited for!! Not only because it's it's the
finally, we will find out their past! How they met etc… But also because I'm a
British Expat, I love to see how American authors write about us.
When it came to the characters, I found Alexis a little annoying in her
obliviousness to Logans feelings! She comes off as a little self-absorbed, and
that is not how I had originally pictured her in my mind, which was a little
sad. Logan's character made me laugh! He certainly takes his British
stereotypical to the max! Not only with the slang, but being so
non-confrontational and being willing to wait 8 years! But despite minor
things, the book was amazing and buy the end I was in tears and cheering! Though
I did think it was touch and go there for a bit.
The plot is unexpected and entering. And the writing is distinctly
Lauren Layne! Beautiful, thrilling, with a curveball at the last moment.
I give To Love and To Cherish 4 stars.
