Title: WOOING THE WEDDING PLANNER

Publisher: Harlequin (Superromance)
Pages: 380
Genre: Series Romance/Contemporary Romance/Superromance
No more wedding marches for her!
Wedding planner Roxie Honeycutt can make happy-ever-after come true for anyone except herself. Freshly divorced and done with love, she’s okay with watching clients walk down the aisle. What’s not okay? Sharing a charming Victorian house with accountant Byron Strong. He’s frustratingly sexy and determined to keep her confused.
Roxie thought Byron’s expertise was numbers, yet somehow he sees her for who she really is. Somehow he understands the hurt she hides behind a trademark smile. Suddenly romance is tempting again, even if it means risking another heartbreak.

My Review

The beginning of this book had me laughing. I thought, this is a good sign and I can't wait to continue reading this book. The laughs were provided by Byron's family. Although, mostly from his parents and especially his father. Yet, after this brief scene was over, so were the laughs.

I found both Bryon and Roxie fine. On their own they were alright. Yet, together I was not experiencing the chemistry. Well not the hot and heavy kind. It was more of the mild kind. Additionally, the rest of the characters voices were not strong enough to keep my interest in this story. Yet, I would be willing to try another book by this author.

Book Excerpt:

“What was wrong with the old Roxie?”

 

His words stuck with her. And his kiss.

 

It was difficult to forget a kiss like that, especially coming from someone…well, someone like Byron. Roxie had spent more time than she’d like to admit trying not to think about the kiss – about how sweet it was. She’d forgotten kisses could be so sweet. She’d tried extra hard to forget how his lips had lingered. And how in lingering he’d awakened starbursts inside her. Starbursts of eternity.

 

She frowned deeply. Being touched…it had been so long since she had really been touched. The hollowness in her had turned into a resounding ache, and for a few moments she’d thought about bringing Byron’s mouth back down to hers. For a few moments, she’d craved more than his companionship. She’d craved the contact. The promise of heat that came with it.

 

But had she wanted it – had she wanted him – for the single reason that heat could erode loneliness? There was trust there. There was affection. For those small starbursts of eternity, there had been longing and the promise of flame. It had been too long since she’d felt the sheer, electrical pulse of new chemistry.

 

Why had Byron’s kiss made it seem like so long since she’d felt the flame? The passion?
