Sang Perencana Pernikahan - The Best Man & The Wedding Planner

Vineyards of Calanetti #6

by Teresa Carpenter, Dharmawati (Translator)

Pertemuan pertama Lindsay Reeves—sang perencana pernikahan—dengan Zach Sullivan adalah saat pria itu menduduki gaun pengantin dalam penerbangan menuju Florence. Namun, pertemuan mereka tak berakhir sampai di situ. Lindsay harus bekerja sama dengan playboy itu untuk mempersiapkan pernikahan kerajaan. Namun, ketampanan dan pesona Zach membuat perhatian Lindsay teralihkan.

Zach—sang pendamping pengantin pria—harus mengakui bahwa ia tertarik pada Lindsay. Akan tetapi, tujuannya adalah membatalkan pernikahan kerajaan, bukan jatuh cinta. Zach berusaha membuat siasat untuk menyabotase pernikahan itu tanpa Lindsay ketahui.

Jauh di lubuk hati, Lindsay dan Zach sadar mereka saling mencintai. Namun, mereka berusaha memungkiri perasaan itu karena luka masa lalu masih menghantui.

So in love with the story here especially how the author describe Italy, its almost make me be able to picture Italy in my mind the way I have seen it, since I have visited Italy few times, the last time was Milan in 2010.

Makes me want to return someday to Italy, I have yet to see Tuscany, that is one place in Italy I have been dying to see, beside Sicily.

How the author describe the small B and B where Lindsay and Zach end up after their car broke down on the detour to Monte Calanetti, makes me remember when I was in one of the B and B during my Italian adventure, the room is small, tight but yet clean and so rustic and the breakfast choices was probably the most delicious and decadent every morning before heading out in our rental car to continue our crazy Italian adventure.

And also love how the author blend in few other characters that already have its own stories in this series.

Cannot wait to read the next book about the love story of Antonio and Christina in this series.

Untuk ukuran harlequin, novel yang satu ini bermain di zona aman. Ide cerita menarik, tapi agak membosankan jalan ceritanya.

[Michelle Douglas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story -- the dialogue was fast and snappy with two leads who were more than a match for each other.

[Gail · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh. Others loved it, gave it high marks - I failed to rise above the hero's attitude. I wanted to smack him more than once and if I was the heroine I would have kicked him to the curb.

I love this series,

Cute but ending missing

I liked it but that ending could have included some more detail about the royal wedding. A short epilogue would have suffice.
