Janie Monroe is two weeks away from losing everything. Her once-bustling beachfront wedding venue is drowning in debt, her calendar is empty, and her creative partner has lost her spark.
The fix? Hiring Finn Langley — the clueless new barback whose one redeeming quality is being the brother of a world-famous influencer. Enter Blair Langley, who has already chased off three other wedding planners. Blair’s limitless, diamond-encrusted credit card might be the solution to Janie’s financial woes, but only if Janie’s team can impress the bride enough to get her down the aisle.
Finn surprises Janie when he becomes more than her ticket to saving the business. He’s also unexpectedly sweet, occasionally helpful, and finds ways to make her laugh as they try to bring life to Blair’s outrageous vision board. The more Janie begins to rely on Finn in the battle against seagulls, storm clouds, and sneaky ex-boyfriends, the harder it gets to keep her heart out of the equation.
Ambitious Pursuits is a series of rom-coms which can be read in any order. Characters are always chasing their dream jobs, and the passion they have for their careers can only be matched by the love they might just find along the way.
This series is inspired by the author’s unending enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, giving her a way to live out her dream of starting a hundred different businesses, all of which open successfully and find happily ever after.
Bridezilla Beach was a warm, cute story of the stresses and accomplishments of a small business owner. It includes an evil, smarmy ex. A cute new man and enough shenanigans to make you smile. Halie Damewood is an awesome author. I can’t wait to get the rest of the series.
Another fun read. I can tell I'm really going to enjoy this series from Halie and can't wait for the next one! the bite size format is something I am loving because I can realistically finish the book in one sitting and it still doesn't feel rushed or incomplete like some novellas do.
