Finding Love with the Wedding Crasher by Laura M. Baird

This is a charming and funny romcom read. It has witty banter as well as steam. I liked all of the cast of characters. They are engaging and people that I would want to be friends with.

I love that Ronni and Dustin are both wedding crashers. It has been said before that a wedding is a place that you can find someone. In this case, I guess it is true. Dustin and Ronni share witty banter with each other.

You could feel the attraction that Ronni and Dustin shared with each other. It did lead to the heat level rising. I enjoyed this short story by Laura.

This was a good quick read romance. A wedding crasher the assistant to the wedding planner meet and fall in love. The banter is great and the storyline is well developed for a shorter story. Really good read!

Finding Love with the Wedding Crasher by Laura Baird
This was a great, sweet summer read! I loved the FMC and her connection with the MMC from the start. The details about the wedding planning business were fun too. I'm a big fan of Laura's book and this short story didn't disappoint!

Save the Date is an anthology with quite a few wedding themed stories.

I enjoyed all of these stories. They were short but sweet. All of the stories have the theme of weddings involved in it, but they all take a different take on how they represent it. Some have the couples meet at the wedding, while others have it the wedding day when something goes wrong. You can read them all at once or read each story separately over time.

I love topical reads and I this anthology came like perfect set of beautiful short stories on and around of weddings.
In a direct or not so much relation to the topic. Sweet, entertaining, funny, adventurous, even dangerous.
And all so different and as multiauthor anthology - of course, in different writing styles.
Enjoyed them all. And thank you for this wonderful compilation.

an eclectic wedding themed collection of short stories.

some super steamy, some funny and sassy - it's all about love, and the chaos that weddings bring.

throw in feyding relations, crazy critters, a few outlaw motorcycle clubs, and random chaos like a fire or two - a wild intro to a slee of authors.

[JoAnne · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great collection of short stories with a wedding theme. The stories include banter, humor, emotions, romance, drama, chemistry, and twists. Certainly something for every romance reader to enjoy.
