The Wedding Planner's Big Day
A wedding in paradise!
Tycoon Drew Jordan has been responsible for his family since the death of his parents. Now Drew craves freedom, not commitment—he'll help arrange his brother's tropical wedding, but he'll never walk down the aisle himself!
Wedding planner Becky English has given up on her own fairy tale, throwing herself into making it come true for others. She refuses to let the groom's cynical—though irresistible!—brother get in her way. But when clashes turn to moonlit kisses, can they begin to believe that happy endings could exist—for them both?

There were a few moments where the heroine was so giddy that for me it was a bit much though that’s just a personal preference quibble, overall I liked her, particularly her small town background. I will say though, early on I didn’t love that it’s made to seem like because she’s a small town wedding planner she wouldn’t think to google basic stuff about the location like weather (small towns have weather, too, this would have been a normal step in her planning process you’d think). I get that the weather thing was there as antagonistic banter between her and Drew but it made her seem flaky and incompetent when she’s supposed to be successful at her job, I didn’t like that it undermined her that way and the hectoring wasn’t the best look on Drew, either.
Drew having to care for a sibling from a young age is such a compelling backstory, it made it easy to understand his reluctance to take on the responsibility that comes with relationships. I did wish that Joe (and his bride) had been in this more though, that the reader could have seen more of their interactions with Drew, particularly with the way things play out, Drew’s ultimately delivered a hurtful blow that didn’t feel quite as emotional as it should have, it’s kind of just brushed off which didn’t feel right.
It’s a little challenging to believe that Becky was putting together a lavish wedding in a short time period yet her schedule allowed her to frequently play hooky with Drew under the guise of work, and when it came to Drew, you’d think someone that adamant about stopping Joe from marrying would have maybe tracked down his brother to talk him out of it as opposed to showing up early to help construct a pavilion for the wedding. So yeah, the set-up, Drew being on the island at all, and Becky seemingly having loads of spare time, that stuff didn’t seem entirely plausible but it did pay off really nicely with the ending, even if you see it coming there was a cute little twist.

Abito bianco, musiche soavi di sottofondo, bouquet di fiori d'arancio... Signore e signori il matrimonio è servito!
Dopo la fine del suo fidanzamento, Becky English decide di rinunciare al suo personale e vissero felici e contenti e di realizzare i lieto fine altrui. La sua carriera di weddig planner inizia sotto i migliori auspici: deve organizzare un matrimonio hollywoodiano ai Caraibi. Il fratello dello sposo, il magnate Drew Jordan, è però pronto a metterle i bastoni fra le ruote: per lui quel matrimonio è un errore madornale e lo boicotterà con ogni mezzo! Ma i fiori sono già arrivati, e così pure gli invitati... quindi forse un matrimonio si farà. Anche se non quello che Becky si aspettava!
Anche questo preso in un attacco di follia durante le promozioni varie di Harmony. La trama mi ricordava un pò il film con Jennifer Lopez che adoro. Ecco, diciamo che è un pò diverso. Però la wedding planner c'è, il matrimonio da organizzare c'è, e il bel fusto (si ve lo giuro l'autrice ha scirtto così) c'è, anche se non è il futuro sposo, ma il fratello. Ovviamente l'innamoramento c'è. Forse un pò troppo presto, tipo alla prima pagina già si piacciono anche se battibeccano. E questo a me proprio non piace. Preferisco che i due si conoscano prima, diciamo almeno da un giorno? non mi sembra di chiedere troppo. Quindi questo ha un pò pregiucato le sorti del libro. Ma devo ammettere che poi è stato carino, simpatico, dolce e romantico e si è salvato.
Mi è piaciuto molto Drew, Becky invece è in piena ormonite. Alla faccia della ragazza timida di paese. Ma si sa se è l'uomo giusto...tutto si perdona.
Comunque libro carino da leggere per qualche ora di relax. Consigliato alle super romantiche.

It was fun to read, but I figured out the ending chapters ahead.
