Description

"An utterly charming opposites-attract-story. Hovland perfectly balances simmering sexual tension with a surprising amount of emotion, and the stomach-flip-causing ending is the perfect example of why I read and love romance." - New York Times Bestselling Author, Lauren Layne

Number-crunching Velma Johnson's perfectly planned life is right on course.

That's a lie. Sure, she's got the lucrative job. She's got the posh apartment. But her sister nabbed Velma's Mr. Right. There has to be a man out there for Velma. Hopefully, one who's hunky, wears pressed suits, and has a diversified financial portfolio. He'll be exactly like, well... her sister's new fiancé.

Badass biker Brek Montgomery blazes a trail across the country, managing Dimefront, one of the biggest rock bands of his generation. With the band on hiatus, Brek rolls into Denver to pay a quick visit to his family and friends. But when Brek's sister suddenly gets put on bed rest, she convinces Brek to take over her wedding planning business for the duration of her pregnancy.

Staying in Denver and dealing with bridezillas was not what Brek had in mind when he passed through town, but there is one particular maid-of-honor who might make his stay worthwhile.

Velma finds herself strangely attracted to the man planning her sister's wedding.

Problem is, he ticks none of the boxes on her well-crafted list. Brek is rough around the edges, he cusses, and doesn't even have a 401(k). But trying something crazy might get her out of the rut of her dating life--so long as she lays down boundaries up front and sticks to her plan...

This was an awesome read about Brek who has to come into town for a few reasons but ends up helping his sisters job as a wedding planner. He stays with Velma. who is a little uptight and has a 5 year plan so she doesn't even give him the time of day even though she is attracted to him because he doesn't check off the boxes she has set. These two have an instant attraction and the chemistry is off the charts. I loved the wedding planning side of things it was hilarious all the mishaps that happened and I kind of felt sorry for Brek for having to deal with all of it but in the end he did good. This was a cute and sweet read and Velma had some serious insecurities but time with Brek helped her slowly get over them. I fell in love with Brek and slowly learned that Velma wasn't too annoying with her plans but she had her reasons. I highly recommend.

Velma was so much fun in this book. Brekenridge aka Brek was also a hoot and delight. There are many funny moments, you could fall in love with this book fast

Having the time apart and really getting an understanding of what they're short time has meant to them both was my favorite part. The part where Break heard Velma's laugh and found the lady he saw was her led to my favorite scene, the cherry on top.

This book gets 5 stars of love! It was great and a surefire success that should be a good movie.

Great read, very entertaining!

Velma is single and her perfect man has just got engaged to her sister. Velma has a five year plan, and a dating spreadsheet to help her find the perfect husband. Then she meets Brek - he is everything she thought she didn't want - surely nothing can go wrong if she has a bit of fun and sticks to her 5 year plan right?

I loved this book so so much! What a perfect, funny opposites attract romance. This is the first book I've had the chance to read by this author and I'm completely blown away. I normally shy away from third person narrative, but this book was perfect! I want more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the characters. There was not one point that annoyed or disappointed me. The story was moving and endearing and I loved the relationship between Velma and Brek. Definitely worth the read. Great underlying messages about interpersonal relationships as well.

I really liked this book. It was engaging and humorous, with great characters that were memorable and you just couldn’t help to root for. Even if they were complete opposites.. Storyline and writing were very well done. Christina hooked me onto her style of writing and I can’t wait to read more!

So unexpected and that was perfect!!!!! Three males all funny, hot with unique careers. Amazing!! Seriously, this was a trifecta!

I read hundreds of books a year and it is not often that I come across something different. Excited for the series to continue and sad that the next book isn’t on GoodReads :(
