3 Stars
Power outages. Runaway brides. Collapsed wedding
cakes. Tainted caviar. Handsy grooms. And the always classic: jealous MILs who
wear white. No wedding catastrophe can faze Katie Gallagher, because when you
plan for the worst, you deliver the best.
The best wedding ever.
Her company, Wedding Protectors, Inc., promises
happily ever afters. Guaranteed. Whatever it takes. But always-prepared Katie?
She’s steering clear of her own HEA. Years of dating older, wealthy, alpha
businessmen who treat her like an ornament has left a bad taste in her mouth.
And some bruises on her ego. Love is her job. Not
her destiny. So when she falls for silver fox and self-made millionaire Patrick
Cooper, she breaks a rule so taboo, it doesn’t technically exist: Never fall
for the bride’s father.
Enter Patrick, a widowed art dealer with
salt-and-pepper charm. He can't resist trying to share an Uber with the
captivating, enticingly stubborn blonde. Their encounter? Classic
enemies-to-lovers. Sparks fly, but not the good kind... at first.
Starting off on the wrong foot left a terrible
impression, but when a series of coincidences pushes them together, the more
time they spend with each other, the more the lines blur.
Chance favors the risk-takers, so when he takes a
leap of faith and gets a passionate kiss that rocks his world, Katie opens
closed doors in his heart.
Can he really have a new soulmate — Or is this just
a May-December fling?
I loved how the books started with the conflict
between Katie and Patrick. Patrick was a major dick and stole her uber. He
tries to make it up to her but it’s too little to late for Katie. They
eventually find out who the other is which leads to Patrick really trying to
make it up to her. It was a fine book after this conflict, but I felt it missed
the mark for a really good book. I never felt like there was a big connection
between them as there is such a jump in the timeline. You don’t see them spending
a ton of time together and that led me to feel like it was mostly lust and not
love. The first book could get away with this style as they were a second
chance at love with a past. Katie and Patrick don’t have that and needed more screen
time to get that connection. Still love Julia Kent and will look forward to her
next one.
