I also thought it was weird that no one in Brooke's past really seemed to keep in touch with her. I didn't want Brooke to be cynical, but she was naive about way too many things and didn't ever really seem to get closure on her past. Though Brooke is all about the happily ever aspect of weddings and being angry at Seth for not trusting his sister's groom to be, when you find out her backstory I had a hard time with her head in the sand approach. When he starts to fall for Brooke, he wants to do what he can to keep her safe and that means making sure her past doesn't have a way of harming her future. He blames himself for his father's death and wants to keep his sister safe from what he perceives is a fortune hunter. But for some bizarre reason Seth really got to me while reading. A lot of times romance books choose to focus on just the women, or if they do include the men I find most of them pretty freaking unappealing. I liked that Layne chose to do a third person story with alternating POVs between Brooke and Seth.

I loved the hero (Seth) more than the heroine in this book (Brooke). Of course he starts thinking about how good he and Brooke would be together and pretty soon romance follows. Focused on making sure his sister isn't about to marry someone she should not, Seth decides to use Brooke to keep an eye on the groom.

Seth for his part is not worried about getting married anytime soon, after misjudging where he was in a past relationship he has decided that marriage and him don't mix. Having a wedding to plan with a hotel heiress should be a piece of cake for Brooke, but then she meets the bride's brother Seth Tyler and finds herself thinking about him and wondering how they would be together. After a scandal has Brooke fleeing from California to New York, she is decidedly done with any romance. The first book in the series follows new Wedding Belle wedding planner Brooke Baldwin. I previously read the novella and decided to give this series a go since I really couldn't stomach anything more than romance novels this weekend. Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars but rounded it to 5 stars on Goodreads.
