Cute story about a wedding planner looking for love and her best friend’s brother. He doesn't believe in love or commitment. She is a perfectionist who wants everything to go her way. It was a cute but predicable story.

I really enjoyed this book! Loved that it took place in a beach town and lots of info about weddings. Avery a wedding planner is planning a wedding for her best friend Ally. Ally's brother Carter has taken off the whole summer to be there to help. The tension between Avery and Carter is hilarious. They are at each others throats all the time until they realize they actually like each other. Great summer read!

I was so excited for this book, but it just wasn’t what I had hoped. I love a good enemies to lovers story, and this story seemed like it had great potential. I didn’t, however, really care for the characters either. They just weren’t enjoyable to read about. While the writing overall was okay, there was more language than expected, which I didn’t really enjoy. Overall, this was a miss for me and I don’t think I’ll be reading the next book in the series. I wanted to love this, but it wasn’t booking my attention like a good book does.

Jennifer Probst's books are always a pleasure to read. This is an enemies to lovers, older brother of BFF romance. It is the first book in a new series about 3 sisters who have taken over their parents' wedding planning business, Sunshine Bridal.

Growing up in Cape May, on the Jersey shore, Avery Sunshine wanted to spread her wings and went to college in DC, where she became friends with Ally Ross. Ally was raised by her older brother, Carter, after their parents died, their mother of cancer and their father of a broken heart. Taking on the responsibility of raising his ten year old sister when he was only 18 himself, and giving up his dreams, has left him a very rigid man. He didn't like Avery's influence on Ally and made his feelings quite clear. Alley did care much for him either, thinking him rude, arrogant, boring and old.

Years later, Ally calls Avery to tell her she is getting married and wants her friend to be her wedding planner, but it is short notice. Against her better judgement and that of her sisters, Avery agrees, not knowing that Carter doesn't trust her, doesn't know how successful she is and as going to insert himself into the entire process. Sparks fly between them at first, but those sparks soon change from dislike to wanting.

Avery believes that her soul mate is out there and he will be a man who is brave enough to tell her the he loves her. Carter, however, has vowed never to love, because it is too painful.

The descriptions of the town, the settings, dresses ...etc are very vivid, making it easy for the reader to picture it all. The characters are relatable, though it takes awhile to be able to relate to Carter and his dog, Lucy. I recommend the book and look forward to reading about Avery's sisters' romances, especially since we also know with whom they will be.

I read an ARC from NetGalley.com. this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Love on Beach Avenue by Jennifer Probst is a good read.

The storyline is well written, it held my interest from start to end and watching the relationship between Carter and Avery kept me turning the pages.

Overall, Love on Beach Avenue is a good Sunday afternoon's read.

*Thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the ARC*

Love on Beach Avenue is a great start to Jennifer Probst's new Sunshine Sisters series. I love Jennifer's books and this was no exception. The writing was well done and I loved the story. I am super excited for the next in this series!

Love on Beach Avenue is the first book in a brand new series by Jennifer Probst that's called The Sunshine Sisters #1. Each book will be stand-alone and it will have a happy ending. I am already sold on the future books, just from the glimpses I got in this one about what's to come.

Carter is not the easiest character to have around. He is bossy and a little over the top. If he doesn't get his way, he gets cranky and he had a feud with Avery, which made things difficult for everyone. He is the kind of character you dislike first, but slowly warm up to him. Avery is more of a ray of sunshine than her man. She is easier to have around and I still wonder how she put up with Carter in the beginning.

I enjoyed the story. I will admit that I grew tired of the constant competition between Carter and Avery, but there were some very good moments that saved the day. The secondary characters were a joy to read about and I got invested in them. There is character growth, which is subtle and doesn't happen completely overnight and it's a huge bonus in my book. The set up of all the characters is good, but I found it weak as the first book in a series because due to Carter's personality and Avery's acceptance of him some readers might be thrown off. Personally, I would recommend it.

This is a cute small town story with an enemies to lovers story. At first I found the characters banter to be fun but after awhile it became a but much.
I found the story flowed well and I was able to complete it in one sitting.
Thank you to netgalley for allowing me to express my honest opinion.

Loved this wonderful story of three sisters working together in a small coastal town struggling to find a balance between their wedding planning business and personal life. Expertly written with amazing characters and a fun easy storyline. Definitely a recommended read

I get giddy every time Jennifer releases a book. She is definitely one of my go-to authors when I'm in a funk and want to be swept away in a good story. Now take that excitement and multiply it by 10 when she releases a new series. New characters to love and new adventures to be had. And let me say, I am totally in love with the Sunshine Sisters!

Avery Sunshine runs her family wedding planning business along with her two sisters. The dynamic between these sisters is fun but at times can get tense. Avery is really the only sister who has always planned to run the family business. With her sister's help, she's doing great, but their sometimes lack of enthusiasm can put a lot of stress on herself. And so when her best friend Ally from college calls and needs help planning a last-minute wedding, during the busiest time of the year for the sisters, they aren't the happiest to have the added weight to their already loaded down schedules.

No one was more surprised when Ally shows up with her brother in tow. Carter was not Avery's biggest fan, and yes, she had a crush on him back then. Tensions are a little high between the two and when Ally gets a call that she's needed back home and decides to leave Carter in Cape May with Avery to plan out the wedding - well let's just say that things get interesting, to say the least.

I love love love Avery and Carter together. They are a bit opposites, but these two together are pure magic. This was a romantic, forbidden (you know GIRL CODE!!) love story that totally swept me off my feet.

I loved her sisters and can't wait for the rest of the books in the series.

Avery is at wedding. Then a man objects to the marriage. The man is still in love with the bride. Avery has sisters named Taylor and Bella and they own a wedding planning business.Bella has a five year old.Avery is 32 and no soul mate in sight. Carter's sister Ally is getting married. Avery use to be wild and Carter resented her for that which doesn't make or a bad person or that can't change.

Excellent Beach themed enemies to lovers story. Jennifer Probst gives you strong characters in Avery Sunshine and Carter Ross as they heal from their internal demons together.

Avery is a wedding planner. Squeezing in her best friend's wedding into her schedule will create more stress for her, but this is one wedding she really wants be involved in. This will be a once in a lifetime experience!

One problem. Ally wants her brother to help her make the final choices. Avery and Carter never got along when she and Ally were college buddies getting into trouble. Have you ever hated someone from the moment you set eyes on them? Well, that is exactly what I mean!

From the wedding dress, the cake, the flowers... and more, Carter and Avery are like oil and vinegar. Not even shaking them up could bring them together. He is the most exasperating brother on earth. Only problem is that as they spend more time together that little thing called chemistry keeps growing and won't go away!

Amusing as all these couples are Avery and Carter are the definition of a hate to love story. Getting there makes for some unforgettable scenes.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.

Good story and nice start to a new series. I enjoyed reading this. The chemistry between Avery and Carter was great. I would definitely recommended this author to patrons.

Love on Beach Avenue is the first book in the new series, The Sunshine Sisters, by the talented Jennifer Probst. I've been a huge fan of Jennifer's for a long time because she keeps writing loveable characters, fun family and friendships and sexy romance. I was excited to start this new series because it revolves around three sisters and a wedding planning company! Avery loves her job, it keeps her busy and she gets to make every bride's dream come true. Her best friend from college is getting married and she takes on her wedding on very short notice not realizing she's getting Ally's brother, Carter, to help her plan it. Avery and Carter don't exactly like each other and now they are in competition to see who knows Ally better and what she'll want from everything to the dress, flowers, and cake to the bachelorette party. Carter only remembers the wild child Avery was in college. Getting Ally into trouble while he was trying to raise his sister after they lost their parents. He doesn't trust her not to ruin his sister's big day. And it's just too much fun to tease and taunt Avery. It all starts as fun and games but when a sizzle of attraction starts to simmer, he's in big trouble. He doesn't believe in love or happily every after and Avery does. Will one kiss turn into more or just show them it's a big mistake? I loved this story! Avery and her sister's are so different and I can't wait to learn about them. The way Carter becomes friends with the men in their lives cracked me up! It's the perfect enemies to lovers, best friend's brother romance! Overall, I laughed, smiled, cheered, cried a few tears and loved Carter and Avery!

What an interesting read! The characters are engaging and have intense connections throughout. Love the story line as old friends reconnect and new friendships are formed. Look forward to more from the Sunshine sisters.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book; all opinions expressed are my own.

I truly love a Jennifer Probst books. Her story telling makes you feel like you're in the book with characters that you can relate too and easily fall in love with. She always has the perfect balance of heat,humor,romance and drama which will keep you reading. 
That being said I loved this book and I can't wait to find out what's in store for the next sister!!

I have always enjoyed Jennifer Probst books. I was excited when I saw this book was coming out. It was such a great read. Light and easy. Jennifer has a way of making you like her characters and the plot. I love beach town and how they make you feel alive. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a romantic beach read.

I have really loved the few Jennifer Probst books that I have read, so I was really excited to dive into this one. Love on Beach Avenue is a enemies to lovers romance, which is a trope I actually usually highly enjoy.

Avery is Ally's best friend and was asked by Ally to plan her wedding. Ally brings along her brother, Carter to Cape May to stay for the summer, while they plan her wedding and so they can spend time together and so Carter can have a vacation. Ally ends up having to return home unexpectedly, but Carter stays back to help Avery with the wedding planning, at which point each person feels like they know Ally better and can do a better job planning the wedding, which just results in a lot of bickering and feuding between Carter and Avery.

I think the story had a lot of promise, but unfortunately I feel like the execution fell a little flat for me. I think Carter's attempts to show his care and concern for his sister could have been shown in a way that didn't come across in such a way that made him so unlikeable as the ultimate hero of the story. I did enjoy the softer side of him that came out when interacting with children, and wish that this side was played up more throughout the story. Overall, this story was just so so for me.

Thank you Social Butterfly PR, and Jennifer Probst for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Three sisters run their own wedding business, Sunshine Bridal. One of the sisters, Avery, is contacted by her high school best friend to be her wedding planner. Even though Avery is swamped with work, she agrees to be her wedding planner. Avery is so excited to spend the summer with her best friend. That is until she shows up with her brother, Carter, in tow. The dislike between the two seems mutual. Carter is determined to one up Avery on everything. Are they going to survive the summer together working on Ally’s wedding?

Oh my goodness, this book was so good! I was immediately hooked as soon as I started reading it! I love a good enemies to lovers romance, and I love books with wedding vibes. That characters were funny, relatable, witty, and the banter was so fun! I also loved the dual POV between Avery and Carter. I would highly recommend this one!
