Synopsis:

It's taken Audrey Regan years to establish herself as a wedding dress designer, and to date she's been roped into creating dresses for nine of her girlfriends. Request #10 follows her vow to Just say no and comes from her very best friend. She can hardly turn Carly down Audrey arrives in Atlanta early to perform all of her maid-of-honour duties along with final fittings for a one-of-a-kind dress. But Carly's wedding is nothing short of an event, complete with Prince Charming, and the festivities make Audrey question whether there's a prince of her own anywhere in her future. Enter the groom's brother and best man. Shaggy-haired, tattooed bad boy J.R. Hunt couldn’t be any more different from Prince Charming if he rode in on a Harley Davidson. Oh, wait. He actually did ride in on a Harley.

Another fabulous book to add to the “Always…” series by Sandra Bricker.  This series revolves around a small resort in Georgia, and in this book Audrey, an extremely talented wedding dress designer who has come to help out a friend Carly with her big day.  With a big client on the line, she tries to manage not only her friends wedding dress and details but has to try and impress the picky, demanding client she really wants to land.

One of the things I really enjoy about this series is all the friendships.  I’ve always been a fan of the stories that intertwine between books, but that aren’t something you “HAVE” to read in order.  Myself, I’ve read book 2, but not book 1 – but I don’t feel confused, or lost – which is ALWAYS a bonus!  We get to see Emma again, and Sherilyn!  Who I both adore.  We also get to see J. R. again – who made an appearance in “Always the Wedding Planner, Never the Bride.

Audrey and JR definitely fight their feelings for one another.  They have some pretty major hurdles to overcome to get their happy ending – and they aren’t the only ones that get one in this story either!!  If you are looking for a sweet, clean romance that pulls you in and keeps you hooked right up until the end.  If you want something fun, and different – then this is the book (& series) for you!

Will I recommend this book?  Most definitely!  Will I read more by this author?  Oh yes, I can’t wait to get my hands on more by Sandra.  She’s easily been added to my auto-buy list and one to look for on NetGalley!

  1. This one does sound good. I haven`t read book one, but I have read book two and loved it. It`s great when a series doesn`t have to be read in order... I`m gonna have to pick up book one and three from my library. :)

Book Tour: Medusa A Love Story by Sasha Summers

Medusa A Love Story By Sasha Summers Blurb: It's said love can change a person. Medusa wasn't always a monster... Medusa is ruled by duty, to her Titan father and the Goddess Athena. She's no room for the tenderness her warrior guard, Ariston, stirs. When Olympus frees her from service, her heart leads her into the arms of the guard she loves... and curses her as the creature with serpent locks. Ariston goes to war with a full heart... and dreadful foreboding. He learns too late of the danger Medusa faces, alone, and a Persian blade sends him into the Underworld. But death, curses, nor the wrath of the Gods will keep him from returning to her. Poseidon will use Greece's war to get what he wants: Medusa. He does not care that she belongs to another. He does not care that she will be damned. He is a God, an Olympian, and she will be his. "This tragic and beautiful retelling of one of the world's oldest stories tackles the eternal battle between ...
