Cassie has been a wedding planner for ten years and is double-checking that everything for the reception is running smoothly when she gets a call saying the bride has been crying for the last two hours and they need her in the bridal suite. When weddings start to feel like each other she always prays for a distraction and today's wedding is definitely one to remember. Bride meltdown over her dress being too tight and two feisty grandmothers up to no good.
She loves her job and what makes it even more special is that her partner at Happily Ever After, Inc., Layla, is an actual matchmaker. She is Layla's one failure, although maybe not since she was almost to the altar before she called off her wedding.
She met the man she is currently dating on her best friend's Match Me app. The app is for those who want to meet the old-fashioned way with mingles and dates set up by a Matchmaker...and despite Layla wanting to personally choose for her Cassie is determined to find a match on her own without any interference.
Theo is the owner of a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical company and doesn't have time or interest in helping his sister Nora plan her wedding. After being left at the altar he wants absolutely nothing to do with weddings but told Nora that he would pay for her happy day as long as she understood he wanted no other involvement.
When she calls him overwhelmed with planning a wedding while being a third-year medical student he agrees to hire a wedding planner. But despite his continued protests, Nora finds ways to get him and the wedding planner together.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. I really love the aside comments from both Cassie and Theo which make it seem like they are speaking directly to the reader. Not only are they hilarious but bring the reader closer to the characters.
Cassie loves romance and everything weddings. Theo wouldn't touch either with a ten-foot pole. Cassie is energetic and full of smiles. Theo is a workaholic grump. But, despite all of this the more they are thrown together the more they can't resist each other.
Just when Cassie accepts that in order to be with Theo she has to put aside her dreams of a wedding and a white picket fence her past threatens to take everything away.
This book is action-packed, full of angst and smoking hot. The matchmaking shenanigans of Layla's grandmother and Theo's sister will keep you laughing and turning the pages.
Highly recommend! Looking forward to Layla's story.
