Description

Life and death matters take on a whole new twist when a quirky funeral planner tries her hand at matchmaking for a prominent playboy.

Six months ago, Cassidy Baldwin was among Milwaukee’s leading wedding planners, until she became the scapegoat for a corporate scandal. Now the only job she can land is organizing over-the-top themed funerals for her best friend’s family business.

Then the city’s most affluent and eccentric philanthropist dies, and Cassidy is hired to fulfill the woman’s deathbed wish: find a wife for her playboy nephew, Ryan Mitchell.

Ryan’s always avoided the spotlight, and he’s not thrilled by the media attention spawned by this final decree. If he doesn’t marry within the year, however, his aunt’s quirky staff will lose their home and livelihood. So he wants Cassidy to find him a Ms. Right Now that he can ultimately divorce, but she’s determined to find him a true soul mate since the right match could launch a new matchmaking career for her. Too bad she seems to understand him better than any of the potential brides she’s found.

Is it worth risking a real chance at love to arrange a fake wedding?

Pretty cute, yet quirky, idea. I enjoyed this book with its twists and turns. There were times the humor felt a little forced but over all, cute read.

A cute, fun romp of a story, I was laughing from start to finish! This is not unusual for this author, as Eliza has been writing a series under Eliza Watson that is laugh-out-loud funny, with real-life issues and drama thrown into the mix. What I love most about this author’s writing is her ability to take reality and finagle it in such a way that makes you realize life isn’t all that bad. You can find the good in everything.

Cassidy Baldwin has officially made the transition from highly successful wedding planner to themed funeral organizer. After a scandal lands her in hot water at her previous company, she is forced out and blacklisted at all other wedding planner agencies. Now the only job she can get is planning football-themed funerals, complete with team colors painted on the deceased’s face. But when she plans a funeral for one of the wealthiest women in Milwaukee, she gets the opportunity of her career – planning the wedding of her playboy nephew, Ryan Mitchell. Once they find the bride, of course. While Cassidy is all about romance and finding Ryan his perfect match, Ryan just wants to get married so that his aunt’s inheritance doesn’t go to her family of adopted cats. Quick, meaningless wedding and a year later, divorce. That’s his plan. Too bad Cassidy has other ideas.

The real stars of this story were the cat lady aunt’s staff. Quirky, opinionated, and hysterical beyond words, the secondary characters shone in this comedy of errors. Both Cassidy and Ryan had pre-conceived notions of each other, which led to some interested butting of heads until they both realized the other was a kind, genuine person. While Ryan has a past that makes it hard for him to trust Cassidy, her consistent care towards the staff shows how different she is from the woman who broke his heart. If she broke his heart, it would be his fault for being stubborn and blind. Things get bit hairy later on in the story, when Ryan has some difficulty seeing what is there rather than what he expects to see. But the ending makes you fall in love all over again as he makes it up to Cassidy in the biggest possible way! Very romantic. I could definitely see this being a movie – Hallmark, get to calling this author before someone else snatches this book up.

I continue to love books written by this author, and I highly encourage all of you to check out any one of her books, either written by Eliza Daly or Eliza Watson. She is a master of writing, and I can’t say enough good things about her as a person and author.

Looking for something a little different after several weeks of re-reading some of my favorite high-intensity romantic suspense novels, I thought <u>’Til Death Do Us Part</u> by Eliza Daly would be a fun palette cleanser to pick up. A mostly sweet, slow burning romance with a sense of humor, this book tickled my fancy. It may not be the romance I’d been seeking, but I found myself hooked pretty quickly. With a quirky cast of background characters, I just couldn’t put the book down. Instead, I find myself wanting to stop by for tea, coffee, and maybe even a confection or two.

I’m giving this book four out of five stars. It was a fun, well-edited read that I wouldn’t mind passing on to friends who need a smile. The one flaw I found was that I needed another chapter- even if it’s an epilogue (which I normally hate). I wanted to see how things went after the “yes” and I’m dying to know what Fiona’s hiding.

Cassidy is former wedding planner who was fired due to a scandal. Granted, she was only a scapegoat, but in the process, she lost her job, her reputation, and her fiancé. Now she’s living and working with friends as she plans themed funerals. A chance encounter with Ryan Mitchell, Milwaukee’s most eligible bachelor at his aunt’s funeral could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Ryan is a financial guru, who has plenty of reasons to stay out of the limelight. He’s got plenty of secrets to keep, and most of them aren’t his own. Doing a The Dating Game type show, and marrying within six months of his aunt’s passing is going to be a nightmare. The fact that he has to do this to take care of his aunt’s beyond eccentric staff that have been his family since he was only eight will be difficult. There’s Charlie, the chauffer without a license; Charlotte, the meek housekeeper; Hector, the gardener with fake flowers; and Fiona, the overdramatic, Irish cook. Keeping the past at bay, both his and theirs may be the hardest thing of all. He’s given up pieces of himself to save them before, he can do it again. Hiring Cassidy to coordinate the madness of the repercussions of his aunt’s will is only the beginning.

This was a fun, quirky, fast romance read. Took me two days to read and it kept my interest the whole way through which can be a problem sometimes.

This book was so funny and original, I loved every aspect of it. The entire premise of this book was so original and after all this time it is so nice to read a book that just makes you laugh and say what did she do this time? A rich bachelor decides to try and fulfill his late aunts wishes to find a wife, but what he finds instead is a lot of unexpected complications and a whole lot of comedy and surprise feelings for the funeral planner. I loved this book. Thank you NetGalley and Eliza Daly for allowing me to read this ARC and write a honest review.

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. I rated this a 3.5. It's a unique story but totally unbelievable!! I did laugh and giggle but the connection between the main characters just didn't grab me. I will read her again as I want to see what other zany things she can imagine. That part I loved!! Well worth the read.
