Just for Grin's

by Indie Sparks

Bells will be ringing . . . wedding bells! Mav and Brina are getting hitched!

Of course, we’re getting married at Grin’s Pub. Sure, the thought of anyone holding their wedding in Mav’s old bar used to repulse me. But now? I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else.

Grinberry Falls is pulling out all the stops to make our big day extra special. We love everyone for wanting to help, but we planned on having a small, quiet, little wedding.

With no fanfare. And no helicopters!

The alpaca was to be expected, but we certainly never intended to cause such a rift among the coffee council. And the battle of the bands to play the reception? We’re hosting a wedding, not a music festival!

Should we have eloped? Maybe. It would’ve been easier, that’s for sure.

But since when has either us done anything the easy way?

Look alive, bartender! We’ve got a wedding to survive!

NOTE: This title is an epilogue story for Chased Shot from the Rocky Start Romance series and an introduction to Mav and Brina's new roles in the Grinberry Falls series. As the subtitle suggests, it's a story to be enjoyed by readers of both series.

About the author

Indie Sparks lives just outside Austin, Texas where she spends her days arguing with her dog about whether or not he really needs to go outside again, and writing strong heroines whose knees go weak for cinnamon roll heroes with dirty mouths and the skills to walk the talk.

She believes steamy rom-coms are the answer. The question is irrelevant.

FUN QUICK READ SETTING UP THIS NEW SERIES TO COME!!

I laughed so much while reading this one with the chaos of wedding planning in a unique small town that brings a lot of heartfelt moments as well. I love that the author has sprinkled in a few little moments with these characters that are to come in her new series.

If you are like me and are a sucker for a fun quirky small town romance that brings relatable issues of planning a wedding, laughs, some spice, found family, a alpaca ring bearer, chaos, and heartfelt moments this is a must read!! You follow Mav & Brina while they are trying to plan their wedding that quickly turns into a massive event for their little town. Overwhelmed Brina calls in her bestie Glynnis to be her wedding planner and chaos coordinator. These two have one of my favorite relationships as BFFs. They just get one another like no else and their bond is unbreakable. Everyone needs a Glynnis in their life. Get ready for Glynnie & Rhett's unexpected but enviable connection to play out some as well settingup their storyto come next. Watch as Mav & Brina help settle each others nerves when their big day finally hits & bumps msy occur as well.

I highly recommend this one for those readers who love the fun quirky small town vibes and highly relatable characters!! This author does an amazing job of weaving LOL moments, spice, and heartwarming moments in this one!! A definite MUST READ!!

Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆
Spice: 🌶🌶

I loved revisiting the town of Grinberry Falls to watch Mac and Brina get married. It’s always fun to read the little epilogues authors sometime include at the end of their books, and this is like a big, joyful, chaotic, charming, hilarious gift to everyone who fell in love with Mac and Brina and the kooky town of Grinberry Falls. It’s also a great way to get more invested in the burgeoning relationship of Glynnis and Rhett. Those two are going to be so much fun to watch as they inevitably fall for one another. Plus, everyone’s favorite alpaca returns! This was a truly delightful “bridge” between two series and just a heck of a lot of fun.

I read this book as a standalone and I loved it. From the small town that has the funny and quirky romance that just catches your heart to also how everything wraps up enough by the end of this short story and how it leaves you wanting more which I can imagine you get from the series. I loved this book and recommend it!.

Grinberry Falls is the perfect setting for this small town romance series from Indie Sparks. Mav and Brina's wedding is the perfect mix of chaos, heartfelt moments, laugh out loud situations and romance.

A lovely recap of characters and scene setting for some future characters.

Highly enjoyable.

This was such a cute, short and sweet read! I love Grinberry falls, especially Oliver and his doorbell! IYKYK. This was a great kind of epilogue read to Mav and Brina's story, and I really enjoyed it. Got to see their wedding planning, and the chaos that ensued with a well-meaning town wanting to be a part of it all. Such a wonderful read, and it kept me laughing!

-A joyful, chaotic epilogue packed with quirky small-town charm and big wedding energy. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

Mav and Brina’s love shines amid alpacas, found family, laughs, and heartfelt moments. A delightful bridge between series that revisits beloved characters and sets up what is next.

After reading Chased Shot I just wanted for more. And voila - here it is. And we are back to Grinberry Falls for Mav and Sabrina’s Christmas wedding preparations.
It was funny and entertaining short read - full of funny bantering, colourful characters and whole town’s involvement.

3⭐2🌶️ Dual POV First Person
Sabrina and Mav
Quirky small town and wedding chaos in this novella that bridges one series into the next.
It was mostly slow and steady, but found the last bit a bit rushed.

[Mick C · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a crazy, chaotic, and stressful story of trying to get married and the town's people do not make it easy. Throw in an Alpaca ring bearer and a surprise from the BFF and what else could go wrong?

[Kim Territo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute, quick read. After starting to read, I realized it must be part of a series, so I was a little behind. Still enjoyable though.
