Wednesday Wonders: PACIFIC COAST WEDDING




About Pacific Coast Wedding:

His new business partner. Her ex.
When they realize each other’s connection to the groom,
will their own fledgling love survive?


Attending her ex-husband’s wedding is the last thing Lacey Wells wants to do, even if it’s happening along the gorgeous Pacific Coast where she once dreamed her own beach wedding would take place. Now that dream is coming true for someone else, and to add insult to injury, she needs to get their daughters to the wedding on time. If only her car would cooperate . . .

Noah Grady doesn’t expect to come to the rescue of a beautiful woman and her two daughters on the way to his friend and new business partner’s wedding, but meeting Lacey makes the long drive and an unpleasant visit with his half-brother worth it. Hitting it off with her makes Noah feel like he might finally be ready to begin a new chapter in his life.

But things start to unravel when Noah discovers Lacey is his business partner’s ex-wife, making her off-limits unless he wants his career to disintegrate. Can he throw it all away for a chance at true love?

Summer just got a little better with a sweet new romance from the author of Pierced by Love and The Matchup!

This novella was such a sweet contemporary romance. I loved the interaction between the characters, how much both the hero and heroine valued home and family, and how their interest in each other bloomed over several realistic, everyday situations. Plus, the setting was gorgeous--the beach wedding and coastal scenery Walker created with her writing swept me away. I love a clean romance, and this qualifies.

My Book Review:

I enjoyed this romance with the wedding set in one of my favorite places to visit. However, it starts in the stark desert wasteland of eastern California as two people connect casually and cautiously. Only later do they realize they have more than a connection either initially guessed at.

The author did a masterful job of leaving the reader guessing when Noah and Lacey were going to figure out that greater connection, which added a air of suspense. The characters were well-developed, even those I loved to hate. I recognized the personality type of the ex, Jeff, which made it more real to me. This is a delightful romance for those who want a break from the world and assurance that good things come to those who take a chance.

Wednesday Wonders: THE MATCHUP


Today's Wednesday Wonders features THE MATCHUP by Laura Walker.

About the Book:

The last thing Valerie wants or needs is to work for Gage, whom she loathed as a teen. But Valerie's husband just walked out on her. Now she needs a job. Gage, on the other hand, has just taken custody of his four-year-old son and is swamped trying to balance his career, be a daddy, and fix past mistakes. Together they discover that when it comes to the Church and each other, it's all about second chances. This sweet LDS romance will renew your faith in love and redemption.

Excerpt:


The grim line of Gage's mouth told her all she needed to know about how he felt about missions. He obviously hadn't come back into the Church, she thought sadly. He was one against the world, a feeling she was very familiar with lately. For some strange reason, the thought made Valerie want to wrap her arms around him.

Which, of course, she would never do.

"What's wrong, Gage?"

He shrugged as if whatever was bothering him was of no consequence, but Valerie recognized the signs of someone in distress--the averted gaze and loud swallowing. The jawline that was tight enough to crack his teeth.

And although he was obviously trying for a light tone, Valerie didn't miss the strain in his voice. "I'm just trying to figure a few things out. Mainly, I've decided that I need to file for custody of my four-year-old son, but the logistics of that change will difficult to work around, especially where my job is concerned."

She hadn't known that he'd gotten married. No sooner had that thought come than when another followed, which formed a sick feeling in her stomach. What if he hadn't married her?
