USA TODAY bestselling author Lauren Layne is the “queen of witty dialogue and sexy scenes” (Rachel Van Dyken)! Now, Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in The Wedding Belles, her sizzling brand new contemporary romance series about three ambitious wedding planners who can make any bride’s dream come true…but their own.
Discovering her fiancé is an international con man just moments before they exchange vows devastates celebrity wedding planner Brooke Baldwin’s business—and breaks her heart. Now a pariah in Los Angeles, she seeks a fresh start in New York City and thinks she’s found it with her first bridal client, a sweet—if slightly spoiled—hotel heiress. Then she meets the uptight businessman who’s holding the purse strings.
Seth Tyler wishes he could write a blank check and be done with his sister Maya's fancy-pants wedding. Unfortunately, micromanaging the event is his only chance at proving Maya’s fiancé is a liar. Standing directly in his way is the stunning blonde wedding planner whose practiced smiles and sassy comebacks both irritate and arouse him. He needs Brooke’s help. But can he persuade a wedding planner on a comeback mission to unplan a wedding? And more importantly, how will he convince her that the wedding she should be planning…is theirs?

Review

This beautifully written book swept me right off my feet from the get-go!! I couldn’t stop, I needed to know what would happen next. I loved that there was always something going on. The fact that Seth was a meddling brother who loved his sister dearly was my favorite. I mean, it’s how he met Brooke. The banter between Seth and Brooke was FUN and witty. Those are some real life relationship goals. These characters were perfect, even the friends. This story was all wrapped up in a bow that had been through the ringer. A story of failed relationships and finding your way after. Anyone looking for a light fluffy and quick read would really enjoy this one. I can’t wait to read more by Lauren Layne. – Reviewed by Nikki Wooten
