To Have and to Hold by Lauren Layne

To Have and to Hold (The Wedding Belles, #1)

by Lauren Layne

USA TODAY bestselling author Lauren Layne is the "queen of witty dialogue and sexy scenes" (Rachel Van Dyken)! Now, Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in The Wedding Belles, her sizzling brand new contemporary romance series about three ambitious wedding planners who can make any bride's dream come true...but their own.

Discovering her fiance is an international con man just moments before they exchange vows devastates celebrity wedding planner Brooke Baldwin's business--and breaks her heart. Now a pariah in Los Angeles, she seeks a fresh start in New York City and thinks she's found it with her first bridal client, a sweet--if slightly spoiled--hotel heiress. Then she meets the uptight businessman who's holding the purse strings.

Seth Tyler wishes he could write a blank check and be done with his sister Maya's fancy-pants wedding. Unfortunately, micromanaging the event is his only chance at proving Maya's fiance is a liar. Standing directly in his way is the stunning blonde wedding planner whose practiced smiles and sassy comebacks both irritate and arouse him. He needs Brooke's help. But can he persuade a wedding planner on a comeback mission to unplan a wedding? And more importantly, how will he convince her that the wedding she should be planning...is theirs?

Still working my way through Layne's backlist, and enjoying it immensely. As always, this book had a hero and a heroine I could root for, as well as some side characters, who added to the fun. I loved waiting for Seth to find his "A-HA" moment, when he realized he was head over heels for Brooke. And I LOVED the grand gesture. It was unexpected, but obvious, once it happened.

I am looking forward to meeting more of the Belles.
