    About this series

    Take one lavish holiday wedding. Add one evil ex and his bridezilla. And toss in a smoking-hot chef from the past. It’s a recipe for disaster.

    Victoria Blackwood has spent years trying to redeem herself after falling victim to a blackmail scheme that cost her father thousands. So, when he insists she coordinate a big Christmas wedding at her family’s winery, she can’t say no. Even if the groom is her ex, and the caterer just quit.

    For Rafael Sanchez, a last-minute call to cater a huge society wedding is a golden opportunity. If he can prove he’s up to the challenge, his brothers might entrust him with more responsibility in the family catering business.

    But when he meets Victoria, he can’t believe his eyes. Five years ago, they had a passionate fling that rocked his world. Until she left him with only a fake name to remember her by.

    To pull off the perfect wedding, Victoria and Rafael can’t afford to get caught up in the past. But keeping things professional won’t be easy, not when the attraction between them burns hotter than Christmas in July.

      The first rule of serving as the maid of honor at your perfect sister’s destination wedding? No mistakes.The second rule? No drama. For Jess Chavez, a week in Maui is hardly a dream vacation—not when her sister expects her to be the perfect maid of honor. Not only does Jess have to fake perfection, but she can’t let anyone know she’s unemployed and barely scraping by. Above all, she needs to steer clear of Connor Blackwood, the sexy groomsman who broke her heart five years ago. A family wedding offers Connor the ideal opportunity to convince everyone he’s no longer an irresponsible playboy. If they see he’s changed, they might support his decision to leave the family winery and strike out on his own. With so much at stake, the last thing he needs is an alluring distraction like Jess. When Jess and Connor end up together, exploring the island’s lush, tropical beauty, the sparks between them become impossible to ignore. Throwing caution to the wind, they decide to make their own rules. Five days of passion. No strings. No tears. No promises. What could possibly go wrong?

      Six nights in the Northwoods, two best friends, and one big secret. What could possibly go wrong? In her ultra-competitive family, April Beckett is used to taking last place. She's put up with years of jabs about her modest job and her pathetic love life. Especially after she tried to impress her older sisters with a fake boyfriend in college and failed miserably. But now she has a smoking-hot date for her brother’s wedding, guaranteed to wow them. Until he bails. Cue total desperation. Without April's friendship, Brody Blackwood wouldn't have survived his last breakup. So, if she needs a plus-one for a family wedding, he's all in. Even if it means pretending to be her boyfriend. And committing to a week of activities at a wooded resort in Wisconsin. But how hard could a fall getaway with your best friend be? Too bad there’s a grueling 10k race and a cutthroat trivia night to endure. Not to mention a massive secret to protect. But will the biggest secret of all be that this fake relationship feels more real than April or Brody ever imagined?

      Yeah, the story kept me engaged. I thought the characters in the dialogue were good.
    • 4/5
      All was good until the reader mispronounced La Jolla. As a San Diegan, I was triggered. Loved the book and this series!
    • 5/5
      I love when the story goes by in no time at all. I was a little shocked when it ended, like where did the time go. But it just means that it was so good, it just flew by like a summer breeze. I loved it and totally recommend it.
    • 5/5
      Another adorable love story. Great read and the narrator was fabulous.
    • 5/5
      Very sweet romance. It was nice to listen to a love story in which the characters are Mexican-American / Hispanic. There are not many books where the characters are nice hard working people instead of evil cartel members. My peeve was that they mention Diabetes as a death sentence. Others books also do the same. It’s known that Hispanics have a tendency to get diabetes but they can live a long healthy life by controlling it. Example my great uncle was diagnosed with diabetes at 40 he died at 95 with no symptoms he ate and drank what he wanted but in moderate pace. He was allergic to insulin so he went the homeophathic nopal, cinnamon, yam just saying
