Description:
Heartbroken handyman Avery Dean can’t get away from his ex—who just happens to be the maid of honor in his sister’s upcoming wedding. As the best man, Avery has to grin and bear his sister’s misguided attempts to get them back together, until the perfect excuse presents itself in a pretty out-of-towner.
With her time in Cricket Creek, Kentucky, coming to an end, hair stylist Sophia Gordon can’t deny the town’s charms, or her attraction to Avery Dean. That’s why she finds herself saying yes to dinner, and then, a wedding date.
Sophia agrees to be Avery’s pretend girlfriend until the big day is over, but when their make-believe fling shows signs of real passion, Sophia starts to wonder if staying in Cricket Creek could make all her wishes come true.
Review:
Wish Upon a Wedding by LuAnn McLane is the 10th book in her wonderful Cricket Creek series. I am a big fan of this series by McLane. In each and every book, she manages to give us another sweet romance; a great couple, and spending time with those we have grown to love in Cricket Creek.
Sophia Gordon is due to leave Cricket Creek to return to NY, but after enjoying the small town atmosphere, seeing her family settle there, and the friends she found has caused her to have second thoughts. Avery Dean is our hero, who recently broke up with his fiancée, who had cheated on him. To get his sister Zoe off his back, he and Sophia, who have become friends, devise a plan to pretend to be dating, so his ex leaves him alone. Best laid plans; as usual do not always work out.
Sophia was a great heroine, always fun and likable, except when talking to Avery’s ex, Ashley. Sophia will decide to stay in Cricket Creek, as she will go into business with her friend Carrie Ann, opening a salon, White Laces and Promises, on Wedding Row. Carrie Ann also has a new romance quickly building with Avery’s uncle Easton. Slowly, both Avery and Sophia begin realize that their pretend relationship has become real. With Zoe and Max’s upcoming wedding, Ashley is part of the wedding party, as is Avery, and the misguided attempts by Zoe (who doesn’t know the real reason about his breakup with Ashley), will make things uncomfortable. Will Sophia be able to stop the attempts by Ashley to win Avery back? Will Avery get past his fears of being hurt again?
This was a double sweet story of two wonderful romances. The extra added fun of seeing our previous couples in Cricket Creek always makes this a pleasure to read. I loved both Avery and Sophia, as they made a fun, likable, sweet and sexy couple. The older couple, Carrie Ann and Easton was also very well done. Once again, I had fun in Cricket Creek, and think it’s time you meet these wonderful people, in case you haven’t done so yet. Looking forward to visiting Cricket Creek again soon. If you love sweet small town romances, you can never go wrong reading anything by LuAnn McLane.
