To Love and To Cherish by Lauren Layne – Review & Giveaway

 

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM / The Book Depository

Description:
Alexis Morgan has spent the past six years devoted to turning her tiny start-up into Manhattan’s premiere wedding planning company, The Wedding Belles. Now that her business is thriving, it’s time to turn towards her much neglected personal life, and Alexis approaches her relationships like she does everything else: with a plan. Not a part of that plan is Logan Harris, the silent partner in the Belles, and the one person who’s been there for her since the very beginning. But Alexis needs someone fun, and Logan’s all business, all the time—except when a late night at the office ends with an unexpected kiss that leaves the usually cool and together Alexis reeling.

Logan has lusted after Alexis since the day he walked into the tiny Harlem apartment that used to double as her office. But the ambitious wedding planner has always been untouchable…until now. Alexis has made it clear that she’s on the dating market—and equally clear that he’s not in the running. But when Alexis finds herself in need of a date for her sister’s last minute wedding in Florida, Logan knows it’s the perfect time to show Alexis that there’s more to him than numbers and spreadsheets—and beneath the pinstripes and glasses lies a hot-blooded heartthrob. As Florida’s sultry days turn into even hotter nights, Logan’s out to convince Alexis that the fling of a lifetime could just maybe turn into forever…

 

Review:

To Love and to Cherish by Lauren Layne is the 3^rd and final book in her Wedding Belles series.   As I read the final chapter in this series, I was sad.  I will miss this series; all the characters were great, the stories were wonderful and fun;  Lauren Layne is now on my authors I must read list. I read this book in less than a day, as I could not put it down.

To Love and to Cherish belongs to Alexis Morgan and Logan Harris, whom we have been waiting for since the start of this series.  Though at times I thought Alexis was too stubborn, and I wanted to smack her on the head, but all in all, she was a wonderful and strong heroine throughout the Wedding Belles series.   We always knew that Logan loved Alexis from the start, patiently awaiting her to realize how much he loved her.  But Alexis only saw her love for The Wedding Belles, until she was forced to attend her sister’s wedding.

It was her sister, and her soon to be husband that made Alexis want nothing to do with love, and getting hurt again.  After all, her sister’s fiancée had been her boyfriend, who dumped her for her sister.  The scars of that rejection has stayed buried deeply in Alexis’ soul for 6 years.  Logan has waited so long, and now grabs the opportunity, with help from his friends from The Wedding Belles (the ladies and their men).

What follows is a beautiful heartwarming story of Logan surprising Alexis at the wedding, and being there for her, and at the same time, showing a different side of him.  Now he was in full seduction form, and Alexis was taken by surprise.  Alexis and Logan had wonderful chemistry together, and it was great to see her open her eyes as to how much she cares about Logan.  But will she get beyond her deep scars, and admit that she is falling in love with Logan? 

Once again, all three ladies and the men they love made for wonderful delightful stories.   They are sweet romances, with the wedding planners background and just simply fabulous couples that were a joy to read.  Thank you, Lauren Layne for this wonderful series.   The Wedding Belles and those fantastic ladies will be missed.
