A love story that despite the ups and downs, the heroine gets the happy ending she knew she wanted and deserved. Sweet book and a great beach read.

What I liked:

Epilogue

I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is Emi and Jack's book, Jack is an attorney and Emi is a barista. I'm just not to sure about this one! It was well written and a cute sweet story but kind of all over the place! I liked it ok but not one of my top favorite. There's no sex which was ok I usually like a little more kick to my books lol but it was an ok read! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

DNF at 60%.

I feel torn about this book. On one hand I don't want to read it any more, on the other hand I want to know what happens.

Told in alternate present day and flashbacks going backwards in time (for no reason that I could discern) this is the story of Emi Harrison. She caught her fiancee in a compromising position and broke things off then moved to Dallas where she opened up a coffee shop.

Now her ex-fiancee Jack Cabot's sister Hannah is marrying Emi's twin brother Evan and she is not only forced to attend the week long celebrations but also spend time with Jack and his new girlfriend, who only happens to be Emi's nemesis.

I don't know whether Jack really did cheat, the story from Emi's viewpoint really doesn't leave much wiggle room for a plausible explanation. Similarly, if Jack is distraught and desperate to get back with Emi why would he even allow such a nasty piece of work to hang around? I didn't like Emi's BFF Lily, she was pretty judgemental about Emi having two small airline glasses of wine - it was like she had downed a bottle of vodka - and she seems to put Emi down all the time. Hannah was also a Bridezilla and an unlikable character. Maybe, as I write this my feelings become clearer, it is just that I don't like any of the characters. Jack appears (at best) to be too afraid to say no, Emi is just wet and Lily's nemesis might as well have a coat made of Dalmatians.

I want to know Jack's excuse. I want to know if Emi goes back to Jack or starts something new with the sexy bar-owner Liam. But I don't like the characters enough to carry on reading.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Emi has to attend her brother's wedding and face her ex-fiance and his family. Their break up was sudden and very traumatic, she is not sure of her feelings and would not go if it were possible. Thankfully she has her lucky dress that gives her confidence. What happens at the wedding? You have to read to find out.

When I first read the synopsis I had entirely different ideas about where the plot was going to go. However, I was pleasantly surprised that I liked the ending. This book is filled with loooooots of drama, and some characters felt a bit like caricatures. I think the villain was very one dimensional and not every decision was explained very well. I feel like some of the things the characters did were unnecessary and just created drama. I really liked the chapters from the past that allowed us insight into Emi's and Jack's relationship and how it came to be.
It is still an entertaining read and made me laugh. A great book to take with you to the beach and spend a lovely afternoon.

I received a free copy from netgalley for an honest review. So before I get into the story I really like the different approach this author had to telling the story. The chapters flip back and forth from present day two flashbacks from the character's relationship in the past. What's really unique about the flashbacks is that they don't go chronologically starting with the oldest but rather the newest Parts in a relationship. Jack and emi were engaged and after the engagement was called off and he moves down to Dallas however Jack sister and emi's brother are getting married and Emi has no choice but to return for the wedding. I like the story there were parts of the story where emi really started to irritate me but overall I did love story. But I think my favorite part was Liam and I'm so excited that the author included a little note that Liam story is coming out next because I can't wait for that one.

Never read a book by this author before so was a bit hesitant, was I going to enjoy it? However, I needn't have worried. It was a lighthearted and easy read with a bit of humour and some drama all thrown in to make it a great read. Characters were relatable and I loved the storyline. Will look out for more by this author from now on.
