Not my favorite

I was under the misconception this was a new novel, but this is actually two older novels that have been released several times. The first one is Marriage Wanted, and it is about a woman by the name of Savannah Charles who is a wedding planner. A young woman comes to see her to have Savannah help her plan her wedding on a budget and confides that her brother hates weddings, doesn't believe in love, and is against her getting married. He shows up at Savannah's shop later and he & Savannah go head to head trying to make each other see the other person's view. As you will suspect, he ends up falling in love with Savannah & they get married. The second book is called First Comes Marriage, and it is about Janine Hartman’s grandfather passing over the reigns to his Hartman family firm to Zach Thomas, and trying to arrange a marriage between the two. He came from a time and place of arranged marriages and they were not about to be set up, so they were at an impasse. Book one, although it had a predictable ending, was still enjoyable to read. It was a light-hearted and fun romance, and I liked that the main female protagonist had physical limitations. She was relatable in that she got severe pain episodes and they hindered her daily life. I really had a hard time engaging with any of the characters in the second book. I didn't find any of them relatable, and the story just didn't keep my interest. Overall, this was just not the caliber of work I have come to expect from this author, and I can't recommend this one.

Two Lovely Romances in One Book

A beautifully written love story for wedding consultant Savannah Charles. Savannah doubts if she will ever have her “happy ever after”. A man’s interest soon fades when he notices her limp and the scars resulting from the horrific injury she suffered as a child. When Susan Davenport enters her bridal shop, Savannah realizes that Susan is on a limited budget and helps her to plan the wedding of her dreams. Susan’s brother, Nash doesn’t approve of the wedding and arrives at the bridal shop expressing his disdain for matrimony. Nash plans to convince Savannah that marriage is outdated, but when he spends time with her, will he decide that just time with her is not enough, will he want forever? In First Comes Marriage, a bonus story, Janine Hartman’s grandfather, Anton, has merged his business with avowed bachelor Zachary Thomas, but why does he continually involve Janine in their meetings? She finds Zachary disagreeable and he doesn’t understand why she only volunteers at a Friendship Club for youth. She enjoys her volunteer time and finds no reason to take a job that someone might truly need. Is there a chance for them or will her grandfather’s meddling keep them apart? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Sweet read

One Pub Date July 2, 2024. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Two stories for the price of one in this sweet summer romance that’s perfect for the beach. Easy to pick up and put down. These stories have been previously published in the early 1990s. Each novella poses a different way to the altar; one a marriage of convenience, the other an arranged marriage. If you enjoy closed door, no heat romances, this is for you. Not a ton of chemistry between the characters and lacking in depth in the story. Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing/Mira Books for this ARC. This is my honest opinion.
