Can an unlucky-in-love wedding planner convince a grumpy billionaire that love is real and save her job? Find out in this Moonlight Ridge novel by Karen Booth!
“You could use a lesson in giving in to temptation.”
But who’s Autumn Kincaid to talk? Her reputation as a wedding planner is on the line after she’s left at the altar. So is her job at Moonlight Ridge—unless she proves herself to grumpy Grey Holloway, whose family owns the resort. Grey doesn’t even believe in true love. She has to convince him romance is real, that all he needs is to give in to the heat threatening to burn them both. Maybe this time Autumn will get her own happily-ever-after…or is this just another best-laid plan?
From Harlequin Desire: Luxury, scandal, desire—welcome to the lives of the American elite.
Fifteen years ago, a car accident tore the once inseparable Holloway brothers apart. Since then, each has gone their separate ways and not spoken to each other, unless it involved their father, Jameson, and even then the conversations were short and stilted. With Jameson still recovering, each brother has agreed to return home and look after him and the business, though at different times. Older brother Mack (Homecoming Heartbreaker) returned first and discovered someone was stealing money from the business. While Grey is in town, he is to oversee the investigation and learn about the wedding planning side of the resort, since bookings are down dramatically.
Putting Grey in charge of overseeing the wedding aspect of the business is laughable since Mr. Detached, Mr. Calm, Cool, and Collected is a non-believer in love and/or marriage. In recent months, Autumn has been through the wringer. Due to her father’s scandal and multiple transgressions, Autumn’s life has been put in the spotlight. As a result, brides who wanted to have their weddings at Moonlight Ridge have decided to go elsewhere. Autumn has even been left at the altar. Through everything, Autumn still believes in love and that one day love will find her.
Best Laid Wedding Plans is an opposites-attract romance. Grey and Autumn are good characters and are good for each other, in that they balance each other out. Though I would never taunt a person who controls my future and dreams in their hands the way Autumn did during her first-ever meeting with Grey. Grey is still struggling big time with what happened fifteen years ago. Even years later, I can see how the heavy-handedness of Mack pushes Grey’s buttons. The romance found in this story is good. I loved that the growing feelings between Autumn and Grey snuck up on them. The grand gesture moment is definitely a romantic movie moment. The cross-over mystery of the missing money wasn’t really touched upon. Though I do think a little more was subtlety revealed. This series contains a seasoned romance! I’m excited that things between Jameson and his nurse/former housekeeper Giada are heating up.
I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this series. Just a Little Married is written by Reese Ryan and features the youngest Holloway, Travis who without a doubt has the biggest chip on his shoulder as a result of what happened with the brothers all those years ago.
