TO LOVE AND TO CHERISH

The Wedding Belles #3

Lauren Layne

Releasing Oct 18th, 2016

Pocket Books

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...

REVIEW-

Okay so I'm a huge Lauren Layne fan and To Love and to Cherish was easily one of my most awaited reads in the entire Wedding Belles series. After falling head over heels for Josh and Heather in For Better or Worse I had high hopes for To Love and to Cherish but sadly all my expectations were not met. It was obviously not a bad read by any means. It was just that I didn't end up loving Alexis and Logan as much as I thought I would. It all felt a bit anti climatic to me. 

So let's start with Alexis. Alexis has worked day and night to make the Wedding Belles a success. She's had to make sacrifices for it but she knows she always has her work to go back to. There is security in that. When Alexis decides to date again she cannot see that Logan is right there for her. I liked Alexis. She's had to deal with betrayals which affected her more than she thought. But it was frustrating to watch her when Logan was right there all along. She just had to open her eyes.

Then let's move on to Logan. Logan is originally from England and has a thriving family business there. He's in the US working as an accountant while heading many businesses. Alexis and Logan have always had each others backs. Logan is a silent partner in the Wedding Belles and all he wants is to be Alexis's partner in life too. I liked Logan but as the book spans over a few weeks I felt he suddenly got way too impatient. I mean he waited 8 freaking years for Alexis without making a move. I don't know how he expected her to get on board in a few days when she was completely clueless.

Alexis and Logan made a good pair. They were one of those couples who were a couple without even realising it. Alexis obviously had issues to deal with and I could see that she was very stubborn. Logan was the perfect guy on paper but for some reason I didn't end up falling for him like I did Josh. I felt his impatience and frustration at times and I just wanted him to understand Alexis' side a bit more. Its safe to say there is a miscommunication between these two.

Lauren Layne's writing was impeccable as always. We get a wide cast of characters who are relevant to the situation. I also loved seeing Josh and Heather again. Seth and Brooke were sweet too. Considering this is the last book in the series I expected a broader epilogue containing all the couples. But that did not happen. All in all this was a good read but definitely not my favourite in the Wedding Belle series.

The Wedding Belles #2

Lauren Layne

Releasing Aug 30th, 2016

Pocket Books

Will a budding wedding planner and her bad boy neighbor stop banging heads and start hearing wedding bells in the sexy second novel in USA TODAY bestselling author Lauren Layne’s irresistible new series that marries Sex and the City with The Wedding Planner?

When small-town girl Heather Fowler finally gets promoted from assistant to actual wedding planner, she’s determined to make it as one of Manhattan’s elite Wedding Belles. Unfortunately, her first client demands an opulent black-tie affair at the Plaza…in five months’ time. Heather’s days quickly become a flurry of cake tastings, dress-fittings, RSVP cards, and bridal tantrums. But what she’s really losing sleep over is the live music blaring from her playboy neighbor’s apartment all night.

Five years ago, Josh Tanner was an up-and-comer on Wall Street, complete with the penthouse and the migraines. But a grim cancer diagnosis made him realize there is more to life than the corner office. If only he could convince his pretty, workaholic neighbor to let loose, too. As Heather lets down her guard, Josh is surprised when he starts falling for the sweet, vulnerable woman hiding beneath those power suits. Soon, it’s Heather’s turn to convince Josh to take the biggest risk of all: love.

Review-

For Better or Worse is the second book in Lauren Layne's Wedding Belle series. I have read both the novella and the book preceeding For Better or Worse and while they were not bad reads by any means they weren't great either. But For Better or Worse just completely blew me away. In a very very good way of course. It just seemed like all the links came together perfectly in this book and all in all For Better or Worse made for a very satisfying romance. 

Let's start with our heroine Heather. Heather was a small town girl with big dreams before she moved to New York city. Heather is an assisstant wedding planner at the Wedding Belles with high hopes of becoming a proper Wedding Planner with the promotion if all goes well and she can handle her client. I loved Heather as a heroine. She was sweet and nice but she was also determined and hard working. Because she is this close to becoming a wedding planner she doesn't need any distractions especially in the form of her neighbour, Josh.

Josh Tanner is Heather's neighbour who is currently working with his band. He was a typical Wall Street guy until a few years ago when events in his life made him realize how short life really could be. Now he tries to live each day as if it were his last but still he can't seem to find any satisfaction or contentment in it. That is until Heather comes knocking at his door with her fiery temper and spirit. I loved Josh. He was scared of committment but the way he was with Heather was just amazing. 

I loved the banter which we get to see from the first moment Heather and Josh meet. It is a Lauren Layne trademark and I couldn't be more satisfied with their conversations and the witty back and forth. There is no insta love between Josh and Heather which is always a plus but they definitely had a lot of chemistry. I liked how their friendship progressed and their feelings for each other became even deeper.

Another thing I loved about For Better or Worse was the bromance we get to see between Josh, Logan and Seth. The conversations between these three guys were hilarious. I also loved how the entire gang of Wedding Belles was together often with their better halves. The whole feeling of family really came through in this book. I don't think I need to say that this book is my favourite in the entire series. I think my excessive use of the word "loved" already gave it way. I can't wait to read Alexis and Logan's book which is next.

Excerpt

 “So this is where the noise happens, huh?” she asked.

Josh’s eyes narrowed as his friend’s hand touched Heather’s back briefly. “Absolutely,” Trevor said. “We’re sorry it keeps you up though.”

“Oh, it’s okay,” she said, waving her hand. “I mean . . . it’s not. But tonight I couldn’t sleep anyway, so you get a free pass. What do you all play?”

“Donny’s bass, Felix is on drums. Josh is lead guitar, and I, as the most important member, have the pipes.”

“Oh! I thought Josh was the singer,” Heather said with a quick glance over her shoulder at him.

Their eyes locked, and Josh felt a flicker of . . . something.

“Ah, is that what he’s telling the women these days,” Trevor joked.

“No, I just . . . I hear him, singing sometimes,” Heather muttered.

“Our boy can carry a tune well enough, but wait until you hear me, love,” Trevor said.

Josh turned away in mild disgust, pulling a beer out of the fridge as Trevor and the other guys coaxed Heather into the practice room, thrilled to have any sort of audience, even a reluctant one.

“Yo, Tanner,” Felix called.

“What,” he called, popping the lid off the bottle and tilting the beer back to his lips as he tried to shake off whatever was bringing down his mood tonight.

“Let’s show Heather here that we’re more than a bit of noise coming through her bedroom wall.”

Josh turned around to see Donny dragging one of his kitchen chairs across the room, disappearing into the practice room.

“All right, love, you just sit down and get comfortable,” Trevor said. “Tanner! Come on, man.”

Josh heard the low strum of Donny’s guitar, heard Felix do a little warm-up rhythm, and knew there was no way of getting out of it. If he refused to play a song now, he’d look like an ass.

Still, his feet didn’t move, and he took another sip of beer.

Feeling eyes on him, he glanced up to see Heather in the doorway, leaning one shoulder against the doorjamb as she studied him.

“Okay, 4A?” she asked.

Her tone was lighthearted, almost slightly reluctant, as though she didn’t want to care about why he was out here alone, feeling oddly itchy with his life.

He appreciated it. He’d spent enough time in the past few years dealing with people who walked on eggshells around him, cooing sweetness. Some of it genuine, some of it not so much.

Heather’s no-nonsense question was refreshing—and exactly what he needed.

He was happy and healthy and living the dream, damn it.

Even if he was no longer sure it was his dream.

“You going soft on me?” he asked, taking one last sip of his beer before setting it aside and strolling toward her.

Heather’s eyes narrowed. “Hardly. I just wanted you to get your shit together so I can see your cute lead singer work his magic.”

He deliberately stepped into the doorway so she couldn’t move in either direction without brushing against him, grinning at her discomfort.

“You’re in a better mood tonight,” he said, his eyes skimming over her crazy curls and relaxed expression. “Why?”

“Believe it or not, I’m not a shrew.”

“Huh.”

Heather shoved his shoulder with a little scowl. “I’m not!”

“Does that mean you’re going to start making banana bread like Mrs. Calvin?”

“Yes, definitely. And coffee cake and sugar cookies and whatever other goodies you might like. All while wearing a frilly, feminine apron.”

“Dare I hope there’s nothing under the apron?” he asked, leaning in slightly.

“Right again!” she said, in mock delight. “I just love to bake naked.”

Josh’s pulse leapt, but Trevor interrupted before the sudden X-rated picture in his mind could turn into a full-fledged fantasy.

“Dude, we doing this or what?”

Josh looked at Heather.

“One song,” she said, holding up a finger. “I may as well see what the music sounds like on this side of the wall.”

Review-

I always enjoy the tone of Lauren Layne's books. They are fun and modern and basically have everything a contemporary romance junkie would want in a book. To Have and to Hold is the first book in her Wedding Belle series. There is also a prequel novella about another couple which I thought was cute enough. To Have and to Hold was for me, a good read, just not a great one like I expect from Lauren Layne.

Brooke is our heroine. Months ago, she discovered that her fiance was a con man. At the altar. Definitely not good, especially for a wedding planner who relies on her reputation. That is why she left LA and all the pity stares behind for New York where she starts working for The Wedding Belles. I liked Brooke. She was a sweet heart who was determined to believe in happy ever afters. She always saw the good in people and wanted to be the best wedding planner.

Seth Tyler is our hero. He is the owner of one of the biggest hotel chains in the country. He is still reeling from the loss of his father and trying to keep up with the load of being the company owner. When his sister decides to get married he can't help but be wary and cynical of the whirlwind romance. It doesn't do him any favours that he has a undeniable attraction to the wedding planner. Seth was an ass most of the times. He was a hard ass through and through and emotionally stunted but his heart was in the right place.

Seth and Brooke definitely have chemistry but they obviosuly have no time for romance or a relationship. Brooke thinks it wouldn't be professional and Seth clearly doesn't believe in happy endings. They both also have their own issues to deal with. They both have some healing to do. But LL makes it work. Seth and Brooke made for a cute couple and I could see the chemistry. I just wasn't head over heels for them.

I also loved how we got a glimpse into the other two wedding planners whose books are next. I can't wait for Heather's story which is next and I ESPECIALLY can't wait for Alexis' story which will conclude the series. I also really ended up liking Maya, Seth's sister and Grant, Seth's best friend. All in all, To Have and to Hold was a nice read, just not my favourite.
