Before You Say I Do

Rate this book
A Standalone Novella Lauren Chandler is back in Bryson City, North Carolina with her fiancé, Evan Kaizer, preparing for her engagement party. But her ex, Kenton Lennox, is always popping up in her way. And it doesn’t help that the engagement party is being held at a resort owned by Lennox Enterprises. Kenton had never been able to understand how Lauren could break things off with him simply because he didn’t want to get married. What he does know is, the feelings she has for her fiancé are sorely lacking the passion she once possessed when they were a couple. Will two days alone with Lauren be enough time to convince her that she’s making what he thinks is a huge mistake? * * * The Lennox Series are all standalone novellas with the exception of Caught in the Storm with a Lennox which is the prequel to Claiming You.

Laid back Romance 🌹

I loved Kenton and Lauren story in the Lennox series. Even though it started a bit slow, it picked up in the middle. Kenton had a laid back demeanor mixed with the Lennox men arrogance. He was afraid to love but so glad he got it together in the end. Lauren was like many women today, she was willing to settle with Evan because she was afraid her desire of marriage and children wouldn't happen. I'm glad she finally came to her senses and left Evan. It was so refreshing to see Evan and Lauren part ways without all the drama! Once again loved Kenton Lennox story! Can't wait to see Devania fall in love!

Yes, I’m Ready…

Foremost, I nominate Harvey Chandler for father of the decade…cleaver😉‼️ Meanwhile, “Before You Say I Do (Lennox in Love Series) - Book 4” is/was my favorite second chance romance 💝 story as well as Lauren & Kenton’s journey was the most plausible of the Lennox siblings. Yup, let’s expedite this engagement & wedding ASAP🤭‼️….a Jeffery Osbourne classic appropriate for the elated couple: 🎶 “Yes, I’m Ready”
Ooh, yeah
Are you ready
I don't even know how to love you
Just the way you want me to
But I'm ready to love, yes, I'm ready to love
To fall in love, to fall in love
To fall in love right now ….🤩🥰‼️

Wow!

Nice story that flowed from beginning to end. I really do believe in the saying, "What God has for me it is for me."It was truly meant for Lauren and Kenton to be together, because they were put in each other's paths for a reason, even though the circumstances felt or seemed inevitable. This was a great stroll for me learning the two personalities that will eventually become a love connection. Great Read! ReneeG 👍Love to see how everyone is progressing in near future.

Lauren and Kenton's story wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be and I liked that about their story. I'm so glad Lauren didn't marry Evan because he was to focused on his career. I also like that Lauren and Kenton are taking things slowly and didn't rush into an engagement & marriage. Such a good series! Now I'm looking forward to Davina and Drake's stories.

GREAT

Enjoyed every word . I love this family. So glad Kenton finally realized what makes him happy. Evan was an understanding man. Read the story to find out more about Kenton, Evan, Lauren and the family. Thank you Ms Martin for sharing.

Love The Lennox!

Wow! Another good story by this author. I was so happy Lauren and Kenton were able to patch the holes in their relationship. Her fiancé was not the right fit. Evan was just to cold. Where as Kenton was cool, and besides, they still loved one another..

A Lennox

I love the strong families Ms. Martin create in her stories. She develops rich complex relationships that keeps you coming back for more. The couples are flawed human beings who shine from being in love. She tells a story that has you spelled bound.

A Nice Story😊

You never know what had until it's gone. This is something that Kenton had to learn the hard way when it came to Lauren. Now he's ready to go all in and secure his future!!!

Before You Say I Do

Second chances are good as long as both come to terms with what broke them up to begin with. There is really no one to blame but yourself because you all play some part. Loved this relationship.

Forgiveness

Kenton Lennox is afraid of commitment. Lauren doesn't want to wait any longer for her HEA. Before You Say I Do takes you on a roller coaster ride with help from family members constantly giving advice. Lauren father is my favorite character..

To be a Lennox.

I knew I would love kenton and Lauren. Perhaps, the breakup was good for both of them. It may them grow and think about what was like without the love of your life. Sometime, losing someone close to your heart wakes you up. I am so glad Ms. Tina saved the day again. Looking forward to Drake's love to appear. Happy reading.
