My Ready to Wed Review ...
So, I'm not obsessed with weddings nor
have I have ever been which might make me a rarity for some females but
sadly because of this I had a hard time relating to the story. However,
many of the woman I know are all about love and weddings so I could see
this book tempting their palates.
Dakota Haifax is a wedding planner in Vegas and is about to have her own wedding until her fiance jilts her at the alter.
Because silly me, when he asked me to marry him, I thought he'd meant it.
After
Grant her fiance leaves her, she has to try and move forward without
her wedding and love and keep her business successful. Dakota's now
determined to focus on her business but that's interupted when her ex
comes back claiming he made a mistake and gives her a decent
explanation. While at the same time her old best friend from the past
Brendan West comes back stirring up her world.
That
should be enough to keep her vulnerable independence shaky now add in a
jealous reporter making all kinds of havoc for her. With all this
Dakota's made to face her own dreams, demons and desires and figure out
what she needs and wants. While she's trying to figure this out she
moves in with her old friend who happened to just move back to Vegas.
Even
though she's still contemplating the 'what if' of Grant she's also having all
kinds of new feelings and sensations with Brendan that she can't
control.
Brendan and Dakota finally chose to act on these new feelings, while she deals with her own issues as well as her business.
For Dakota, it
isn't just about weddings and love but also wanting something so much,
since she never had it, with her mom abdandoning her when she was young.
Thanks to her father and best friend she's what she is and survived, but when her
best friend moved she changed and became unilaterally focused on
relationships and love.
"... But I don't want you hurt, kid. Like I said, you always jump in so fast. One minute you love a guy, the next the fire department's coming to undo the damage of your séance."
For
Dakota, she has always been searching for love but what she didn't
realize was that she always had it. This was a sweet book and I find
that Cindi Madsen's writing always engages me, even though I didn't
fully relate to this heroine her books are always sweet and mostly
pretty wholesome.
3 Sweet thumbs up!
