Aren't they?


Sofia Barnes
I’ve always loved to play dress-up.
Creating fake weddings was my childhood pastime.
Now it is my dream come true.

I’ve finally been handed my first client.
But nothing could prepare me for who greeted me when I walked in.

He was my first kiss, my first everything, including my first and only heartbreak.
Now I have to plan his wedding.

Matthew Petrov
My family is filled with hockey royalty.
From my grandfather to my uncle to my father.
Now it is my turn to work my way up the leaderboard.
I had everything that I’ve ever wanted in my life.
Or so I thought.
Nothing could prepare me for coming face-to-face with Sofia.
I knew her inside and out.
She knew my inner secrets.
Two years ago, I let her go, and now she’s planning my wedding to someone else.
They say time heals old wounds. They lied.
Maybe she was just mine to take.



MY REVIEW


The last person Sofia ever expected, or wanted, to see again is her ex, the man who broke her young heart years ago. Now he's here, standing in her new wedding planning business, with his fiancée, for their wedding consultation. Pretending they don't know each other for the duration is about all she can do until the meeting's over, then she can go home and try to forget that he exists again. But it won't be easy once she finds out the wedding's off, and that Matthew is determined to have a second chance at her broken heart.


Matthew's biggest regret is the way he handled his breakup with Sofia. Seeing her again for the first time since he walked away, has opened up his heart again. Since the breakup he's just been living his life going with the flow, hence his upcoming wedding to a woman he now realizes he doesn't even love. Yeah he's an idiot and he knows it, but seeing Sofia again is the kick in the ass he needs to make him go claim his only love...if she'll have him.


OK, I have to get this out of the way first - I took nearly the whole story before I forgave Matthew for the way he had treated Sofia. By the end I was happy they had gotten their second chance, but I still think Sofia deserves better. His reason for the breakup is flimsy at best, horrible at worst, but because Sofia loves him and forgave him, he gets a thin pass from me. Sofia I love, though, and was rooting her on the whole way. The Southern Wedding series is angsty, and this one is no exception, it's also an emotional rollercoaster with a couple whose chemistry lights up the pages. I can't wait for Addison and Stefano's story now, Mine To Promise.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
