About this ebook

Arianna King had everything planned out down to the last detail until her father’s ultimatum changed everything. Now she’s alone, trying to open her own wedding business, and seemingly failing at every corner. But one longing look at her best friend and everything changes.

Being in love with your best friend isn’t easy. Harper Rosso knows it’s past time to tell her what he feels, but the idea of losing her forever makes the risk far greater.

With one longing look, sparks fly between the two of them. Yet when someone wants Arianna to fail in her new life, Harper might lose the one person he’s always loved before they even had a chance.

I'm slowly falling more and more in love with this series, and I'll soon have to go back and read all of the books in it. Even though I'm a newbie in this world, I was pretty sure that this story isn't like any of the others, or at least the ones that I read. Not only because neither of the main characters are Montgomerys by blood, but also because of the entire feel of this book. It felt like a behind-the-scenes story, which I liked. I liked Arianna. I've never given much thought to wedding planning as a career, because I never truly understood what it actually means to plan such an important event for someone else, so I really enjoyed learning more about it through Ari's voice. I also loved how in love with her job she was. I'll be honest, I love reading about people who genuinely love their jobs, who adore what they do for a living, even if sometimes they do stuff they don't enjoy all that much. Another thing I liked about her is the fact that she was dedicated to her job enough to not let personal relationships get in the way of things. With her father and with a woman she never thought she'd work with, Ari didn't allow what she felt cloud her judgement or let herself do a less-than-perfect job, which shows how truly professional she is, and I respect her for that. Harper is the kind of hero I don't usually like 100%. He's a sexy, funny, charming guy, and he's a really good friend, but sometimes he's too good of a friend, if that makes sense. I know he always tried to help Ari, and he didn't mean it to get out of hand, but sometimes that is something that bothers me just a tiny little bit. All that aside, I did like the fact that he gave Ari the courage and self-confidence she needed in a truly low point in her life, and I like that he knew just what she needed in order to get her butt in gear. The plot was great, and I read this book pretty easily. Because this was a short story, I feel like a few details weren't fully explored, or explained, and I'm just hoping they'll be at least mentioned in future books, but apart from that, I did enjoy this story. And, as I said, I plan on bingeing this series pretty soon.

These two were a bit frustrating, but then again, most friends to lovers are at some point. One has been in the love with other forever, while she is just picking up on her attraction now. They enter into a relationship, but fail to define it, and, after being best friends for so long, that lack of communication didn’t sit well. They did come around and work things out, and that made me happy. What didn’t make me happy was that one of the bad guys didn’t get his comeuppance, and I really wanted him to after we had been made to dislike him so strongly!!!

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest! Loved this book! Arianna thought that she was going to have more responsibility in her father's business. Turns out that her father could not care less for her. ( Her father is a piece of crap! ) Harper has been in love w/ Arianna for "forever" He should have said something sooner, but he was afraid. He finally decided to tell Arianna his feelings for her. Great HEA!
