If you haven’t read Welcome to My Life (Tonya and Reaf’s story) and Ways to Go (Jake and Charleigh’s story) I HIGHLY recommend reading those first because you will be missing a lot of background and history to these characters stories.

I loved this story. It was perfect. It was everything that I could have hoped for after everything that Tonya and Reaf have had to overcome throughout the course of their relationship.

The proposal was beautiful, it was something that dreams are made of. Though the story was short, I felt like it captured everything we have grown to love about these characters.

I know I already said it but this story was perfect. A must read for those who have fallen in love with these characters and this series.

The long-awaited moment between Reaf and Tonya has finally arrived. They're getting married and we discover how they're going through all this.
I love Tonya and Reaf, their story is a beautiful one, full of love and tenderness. Reaf is a perfect boy, he loves Tonya with all his heart and I am always impressed by his sensitivity. Tonya is not always nice to him, but he remains calm and devoted.
The love between Reaf and Tonya is pure and sincere love. The marriage is a little disturbed by Jake's mother who absolutely wants her son to marry Tonya and take care of their daughter.
I really liked this little story that perfectly completes the first volume of the series.
Quick word: A beautiful story that ends with a marriage.

I loved Tonya and Reaf in their first story, so it was great to see them again. They're on their way to the altar now, so things should be going along ecstatically. But, there's doubt creeping in, she's acting like a little brat, and I had to remember that she's still young so I didn't yell at my Kindle when she was acting all bridezilla to poor, sweet Reaf. Luckily things worked out and we get to see their wedding finally happen.

I've really enjoyed this YA/NA series with its realistic characters and interesting story lines. I'm not sure if there's more to come but I hope so.

From This Moment is a continuation of Tonya and Raef's story. Most book series don't give you another book about original characters, so I love that we get more detailed time with them!

It's exactly what you expect when wedding planning, stress, high strung bride, and plenty of drama to go around! It's so nice being back with your besties, planning a wedding, and getting to see how for Jake has come. I can't wait to see what comes next for this group of friends, especially with who caught the bouquet!

Nerves and determination are tested and so is is everything else as things don't go according to plan. It's her wedding and she wouldn't be human if she didn't want it to be perfect. But a hard lesson is there to be learned and hopefully she'll get the message. Young love is tested and it's time to make a stand. This is a great clean romance from an author that does it well. I love the characters and the emotion that makes this story as good as it is. It takes great skill to bring it all together in such a nice package.

Tanya and Reaf are getting married, but it’s not without its troubles with dresses that don’t fit or are the wrong color, a church that’s flooded, and her ex Jake’s crazy mother trying to stop the wedding because of his daughter Layla with Tanya and he’s now with someone she approves less of than Tanya. Layla was so cute and Reaf was great with her and her mother. This wasn’t happily ever after, but moving towards the next chapter of their lives. There were lots of humorous and sweet moments in this YA romance.

[Angie Harvey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is perfection! It isn’t often that you get to see how a couple continues to live in a series, so I love that we got to go back and see Tanya and Reaf again. I especially loved seeing it from both points of view.

Even though this story was short, it was perfectly detailed. There were just enough quirks and kinks between the characters that it gave it the perfect amount of layers to tell their story. I loved the wedding and the build up, was seriously PERFECT!!!

From This Moment is a beautiful short story that gives us the next step on our dears Tonya and Reef. Once again I knew why they are my favorite couple. Even though they are young they love each other so much, he loves her daughter like his and they make a beautiful family.

Reef proposal is beautiful. The wedding is a little stressful but at the end they overcome all the obstacles and we get an amazing ceremony for this couple. The only negative I see is that it was too short, I want more.

Such a cute and sweet book. I was happy to catch up with the couple from the first book in the series. Now I'm ready to see what's waiting for us in Amelia's and Randall's story.

I enjoyed Reaf & Tonya's story. With this one it almost felt like I was watching a movie while reading. I commend Reaf for being such a patient man... Great book. Am voluntarily leaving an honest review for a copy of the book via booksprout.

Happily ever after! Tonya and Reaf such a cute couple! This as a pretty good book. I love this couple!

[Melanie Helms · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahhh we've finally reached Tonya and Reaf's follow up book and it did not disappoint! I loved seeing reading more of Reaf and Tonya's life post- Welcome to your life. And seeing the other characters that have been in the series throughout. This book turned out so good. The ending and everything leading up was great and so funny. Its never a dull moment with the taking chances crew. Can't wait to read Randall and Amelia's story. I need that asap !

[☆☆Hannah☆☆ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a enjoyable read. Tonya and Reaf are finally going to get married. Of course like in most weddings things go wrong. You name it and it went wrong. Thankfully they had lots of help from family and friends to make it all work in the end.

My initial reaction to this short tale about the months of Tonya and Reafs’ wedding planning was one of disappointment. I’ve read a number of Marie’s books and this one fell short to what I normally expect from her.

Upon reflection I realised this tale tackles some big issues, namely it is okay to ask for help; talking with your partner is important for a successful relationship and when you are in love you support the other person regardless.

It also started to have some interesting side stories, such as the one with paternal grandmother, which I would have liked to have seen explored further. I also would have liked to see some more tension between Tonya and Reaf.

Overall the book is okay but I feel if fleshed out more it could be great.

She was so happy when he asks her to marry him but that is when everything went wrong. He will need advice to help her through all her doubts. Who can he turn to for help? See if it can be all turn around

This was a good read. Tonya and Reaf are finally making it official. There are some angst filled moments but nothing to deter from their moment. It is recommended to read the other two books in the series in order to enjoy this book more.

[Maryn Clements · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved that Tonya and Reaf got another story

It was a really sweet story of Reaf and Tanya’s weddings and the issues up till. Everyone knows there are always a few glitches planning a wedding and they were no different.

[Margaret · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite in the series by far. I just didn't get a lot out of the lead-up to Tonya's wedding.
