This was a DNF for me. But to be fair - I picked up the audio version from the library and it turned out to be an abridged version. Secondly, I had technical difficulties. Had the book been better (in it's abridged form at least) I would have pushed past those difficulties to get to the story. But 4 hours in, I wasn't at all invested in the characters or the plot. I really hope it was because of being badly abridged, but it didn't do it for me. Too bad :(

For me Nora Roberts is comfort food, I don't read it for surprise but for the pleasure of a well-crafted romance.

Four friends work together running a Wedding-planning business. Parker plans; Laurel does the flowers, Emmaline does the cakes and Mackenzie (Mac) does the photography. This is Mac's story, well Mac and Carter's story.

Carter is great fun, he's a bookish nerd who has loved Mac from afar for years and now it's his chance to connect with her, he wants more from the relationship than she does but it's possibly her fear of becoming her serial dater mom that has her afraid.

Yes it's formula romance, yes it's predictable and yes ther are moments where I was quite frustrated with the plot and the characters but I also loved Carter and his attempts to woo and his attempts to be who he isn't, to find that really, he should be himself.
