Mackenzie Elliot is one of a quartet of friends who run a wedding planning business. The irony, of course, is that Mac, while a brilliant wedding photographer doesn't believe that a marriage could actually be successful, especially one that might involve her.
But when she bumps into Carter Maguire, who is the brother of one the brides Mac is working for, sparks fly. Can Carter convince the commitment-phobe Mac that not all weddings end in not happily ever after?Nora Roberts is a big name in the romance genre for a reason. Her writing is solid and her central characters are well-rounded and believable individuals whom it's very easy for the reader to root for. I did quibble a bit over a wedding photographer who refused to use a second shooter (having just done my own wedding, I wouldn't have accepted a photographer who didn't - for the ceremony at a minimum). There were also a couple of 'villain' type characters who relied a little too heavily on trope and didn't feel like real human beings.
However, these are minor annoyances. In a nice bit of serendipity, the novel is set at almost the same time of year as when I read it which lends some nice seasonal ambiance to the reading.
If you're in the mood for a wedding-themed romance novel, this is a very solid choice. Childhood friends Mackensie, Parker, Laurel and Emmeline have formed a very successful wedding planning business together but, despite helping thousands of happy couples to organise the biggest day of their lives, all four women are unlucky in love. Photographer Mackensie Elliott has suffered a tough childhood and has a bad relationship with her mother, which makes her wary of commitment.
But when she meets Carter Macguire, she can't stop herself falling for him, although his ex girlfriend is prepared to play dirty to keep him. Mackensie soon realises she has to put her past demons to rest in order to find lasting love.
