Weddings Coordinated

by Lisa S. Gayle

Twin sisters. Two men. One wedding?

Danielle and Mallory are as different as can be! And they’re about to get themselves tangled into an unexpected, sticky web of drama.

What the twins anticipated being a simple, brilliant plan quickly becomes a complicated mess with both sisters hiding secrets and fighting strong feelings for some incredibly tempting, off-limits men.

Mallory needs Danielle to impersonate her at work so she can sneak off to her best friend’s wedding. But how can you pretend to be your twin sister when you’re nothing alike?

Danielle finds herself trying to save Mallory’s career while her sister’s demanding, perceptive boss, Ethan, watches her every move. It doesn’t help that she is inexplicably attracted to him when she vowed to hate his guts.

Mallory begins to have conflicting feelings for her engaged best friend, Jesse, a sweet, rough-and-tough auto-mechanic that’s been her rock since childhood.

Will the twins get caught in their silly plot to hide the truth? Or will they get more than they bargained for?


This is a standalone, full-length romantic comedy. It features two emotionally-charged romances roped together in one hilarious, fast-moving plot!

Wow, this is a debut book for the author and can I just say, it is fantastic! I loved it. It’s flawlessly written, it’s witty, it’s funny, the characters are so loveable. I could not put this one down.
Jessie and Mallory have been best friends since Mallory was 10 years old. Mallory and Danielle are identical twins, born 1/2 hr apart but on two different days. Mallory is the studious one, while Danielle is like a rainbow. Their occupations reflect their differences, Mallory is a workaholic executive assistant to Ethan, and has worked tirelessly for him for 7 years without any holidays, thus relationships with her best friend and family members have suffered. Danielle is a wedding planner, and is like a bright shooting star. But things are about to get interesting. Mallory talks her sister Danielle into pulling the old “switch a roo” with her, leaving Danielle to deal with her tyrant boss Ethan while she attends her best friend Jessie’s wedding. Things do not go according to plan, as love ❤️ gets its hooks into these four lost souls. Mallory realises a love lost, while Danielle has to deal with a love found.
I think I felt such a connection with the story that I didn’t even miss the fact that there are no big steamy sex scenes, they are understated, they occur, but the story doesn’t revolve around them falling into bed and having very graphic sex. There are no triggers in this story. It is just a beautiful tale of 4 people finding their way to love.
I was given this ARC by the author and I am voluntarily leaving my review.

Identical twins, who switch places? What could go wrong? Mallory’s best friend, Jesse, is getting married and she needs to be there. But her demanding boss will not let her have a vacation until their current project is finished. Identical twin Danielle is nothing like her sister, but when Mallory comes up with a plan to be in two places at once, Danielle agrees. While Mallory is facing her feeling for best friend Jesse, Dani is covering for her with workaholic boss Ethan. With several amazing side characters, there are plenty of funny moments as Dani tries to keep the switch a secret.
I liked the double storylines as we followed both women during the switch. I appreciated Dani, who is a successful businesswoman and speaks her mind. Also, Ethan being confused by the woman he thinks is Mallory made me laugh. Overall this is a quick and fun read. Thank you to the author for the complimentary copy. This is my honest review.

4.5 glorious stars

For a debut novel this was fantastic. It was so engaging and even had some laugh out loud moments. The twins Danielle and Mallory were both great characters and it was fun getting to know them. Danielle’s personality is one I’d love to have if I was brave enough.
With dual romantic stories, you get twice the fun with this read. Mallory and her friends-to-lovers story, and Danielle with her swapped identity story. I’d be hard pressed to say which H I liked the best as both Ethan and Jesse were amazing.
If you come across this book, I urge you to pick it up. You won’t be disappointed.

The plot was cute and funny and fast paced and had a mischievous playful side to it with the classic twin switch!

The third person narrative was a little hard to get used to at first and I felt like the ending was slightly rushed but I was rooting for the two girls through their ups and downs and it was a fun read!

The epilogue was a great bow to tie up the end of the story as well and I loved it!

Would definitely recommend :)

Twin girls. Two romances. Two very unique but classic storylines.

Danielle and Mallory are a very unique set of twins. Danielle coordinates weddings, is charismatic and sassy and is nothing but herself. She is also an Aries, born on April 19. Mallory is a tedious, hard-working girl who doesn't have time for men because of her promotion. She is a Taurus, born on April 20. Isn't that funny? Identical twins, who are nothing alike. Who would have thought?

Friends to Lovers. The sweetest story. Mallory and Jesse are best friends who never see each other, and now that Jesse is getting married, he wants to spend his free time before his wedding with his best friend. Only Mallory can't get time off, so she decides to ask her twin, Danielle, to switch places with her. The reason for the switch is so Ethan, Mallory's hard-ass boss, doesn't find out her true intentions for the weekend - skipping work. There are instant fireworks between Mallory and Jesse as they rekindle their ~platonic~ relationship. Mallory only saw him as a friend, but now... she is not so sure.

Enemies to Lovers. The trope to end all tropes. Danielle and Ethan's chemistry is clear throughout your time reading it. The first few chapters made me think I would hate Ethan because he was rude to Mallory... But his whole character changes when he meets Danielle. She is his reason. While they fight and get on each others nerves, the stars say they're compatible - and they are not wrong. The only catch is, he is starting to wonder why his boring, diligent co-worker, is suddenly so attractive. He can't for the life of him figure it out. Its because its not his co-worker...

The way Lisa S. Gayle writes is captivating. I couldn't believe this was her debut book?! The complexity and development of each character, the unique situations placed on them, knowledge of each job and location... I was sad to finish this book because of her intricate story telling. I will definitely be reading another story by her in the future. And while these tropes have been used time and again, I get excited to see them used in different ways. Lisa incorporated these two stories into one... so beautiful! Romance lovers should definitely read :)

ALSO- couldn't decide who I would have chosen... I love both Jesse and Ethan so much...

Not to mention Mallory has her own issues and feelings to be solved before her best friend Jesse marries his fiancé. Is love too late for these twins?

💍The story and the plot is funny and humorous. Having the story narrated by the twins clearly showed their differences in attitude and personality. You’ll enjoy reading what’s in their head.

💍 The story moves fast you could finish it in one sitting. It won’t bore you but it would rather hooked you and consume you.

💍 Danielle and Mallory may be different but they both know what they want and deserve and they don’t let their feelings het the best of them.

💍 The bickering between Mallory and Jesse and Danielle and Ethan is everything. You’ll love, hate, and root for them simultaneously or interchangeably which adds the fun in it all.

About the book
The story is about a twin sister who is both successful in their career but not in their love life. Even though they are twins, they have opposite characters. Danielle is a wedding planner, who has her own company. She is jolly, loves fashion, not to mention colourful in style, and believes in astrology. Whilst Mallory is a designer who is a workaholic, serious, and her only priority is her career.
When Mallory’s best friend for 15 yrs, Jesse, is about to get married, she doesn’t want to miss his wedding as she realized that she missed him badly. When she asked her boss, Ethan, for a vacation, she was rejected. She cannot complain because Ethan promises her a promotion after their resort project is finished. With no other choice, she reached out to her twin sister to pretend to be her. Danielle agreed to believe that she will not meet Ethan in person and that she will only work in the hotel room.
While Danielle is pretending to be Mallory, she felt her attraction to Ethan and Mallory realizes that she’s in love with her soon-to-be-married best friend.
Will Danielle win Ethan’s heart if she discovered that she is pretending to be Mallory? Is Mallory too late to confess her feeling to Jesse?

My thoughts:
The plot of the story is flawless. It’s like getting two rom-com in one book. Danielle and Mallory’s story is different from each other. I love Danielle’s character and her interaction with Ethan is always interesting. I like how the story doesn’t just focus on the sister’s love story but also on their love for each other. How they will protect each other. The author will capture your heart in both stories but will also break it as the story gets deeper.
This ebook copy was sent to me for an honest review. Give this a 5-star.

Weddings Coordinated was a fun tale of twin sisters who switch places when one of them needs to be in two places at the same time. The different personalities of the twins, however, make the switch quite entertaining.
Danielle is a wedding coordinator who seems to have her life in the palm of her hand - except in the matter of love. Her exuberant attitude is a night-and-day difference from that of her sister, Mallory, who is an assistant with an overbearing boss. Her career has taken over her life for the past seven years, and her boss, Ethan, takes her strict work ethic for granted and hasn’t agreed to her taking vacation time as long as she’s worked for him. When Mallory needs to take time off to attend the wedding of her best friend, Jesse, she pleads with her sister to take her place at work so that she can fly across the country for the event. Being a good sister, Danielle agrees. Obviously the story’s been done before (the characters even mention that what they are doing is just like the movie The Parent Trap), but the twist on the reason for the switch is clever.
The author’s writing style is a bit clunky in some areas; Ethan’s character is a jerk most of the time, so, when he tries to be funny or endearing, it kind of falls flat. The flashbacks aren’t set up well, and that makes them a bit confusing. There’s a bit of annoying mood swings with the characters, as well. These aspects of the book are what caused me to give this book four stars instead of five.
Overall, for her debut book. Lisa S. Gayle does a fair job, and I look forward to her future works.

I love stories about twins and the problems that they fall into and then work their way out of. And, this book fits that niche perfectly. A fun read that was clean, but which still had a fun amount of charge so it still had the passion that I look for in any reading and a wonderful amount of humor that had me laughing late at night!

I will admit that I was reading this book way to late in the night because I wanted to see how this story was going to resolve itself and equally giggling and laughing along with the text. It was a refreshing change to have a book told from single viewpoint. I know today's market sees a push on splitting the book so that both main characters have their chance to speak directly to the reader in their own limited voice which does add to drama, but there is something so intimate in reading a book like Weddings Coordinated that successfully recaptures the connection between reading and character in a sustained single point narrator. This book is a stand out read and refreshing because of that and I fell into this story on page one line one, "Mallory couldn't tell Ethan the truth." because of that tone. What an opening line. You'll be pulled into this story as I was with line one and then you will not be able to leave until the end.

This is a great fun romantic ride that will leave you cheering for the ending and hoping that each twin gets their man!.

I won this book for free and I really enjoyed it. It was fast paced, despite being slightly predictable, but you know that is coming with these types of books. I thought that it was a unique take on the typical twin switch, as Danielle and Mallory didn't fully switch places in this scenario. It was neat to see how the twins were different, and I really enjoyed the journey that they both took, but Mallory's especially.

I really enjoyed the fact that the argument that took place between Danielle and Ethan, which you know has to happen with romcom books, was not what I expected. This book did that a little bit, actually. I tried to predict a few things, but I wasn't right really any of the times.

The character development that happened was pretty good, I just felt like the book was paced really well until the end, when one of the couples seemed to go from zero to one hundred really quick. This book really had no inconsistencies and the characters stayed true to themselves throughout. I don't really believe in horoscopes and that kind of stuff, but it was interesting to follow Danielle as she obsessed over them.

The main lesson taught by this book was the danger of getting comfortable in your life and to not take your family and friends for granted. Live life to the fullest and enjoy every minute. This book was an easy read and I would recommend it if you want a light romcom to read.

Twin sisters Mallory and Danielle couldn't be more different. Danielle ran a successful wedding planning business, she loved her Disney characters, she truly believes in her horoscope, she fiesty, colourful and everybody seems to automatically love her. Whereas Mallory works hard helping her boss build and plan hotel resorts, she is constantly on her phone working, she constantly makes excuses as to why she can meet up with her family, she is reserved, never stands up for herself and always wearing dull black and white business appropriate clothes. When her boss won't give her time off to attend her childhood bestfriend Jesse's wedding she comes up with a plan. Yes she'll get Danielle to pretend to be her for a few days what could go wrong, her workaholic boss wouldn't notice Nathan was to ingrossed in work to notice anything else. What could possibly go wrong, Ha Ha, biggest mistake ever. This is the start of two seperate relationships mixing together and so many mix ups it's hard to keep up with who's who, but in a good way. This is a laugh a minute story that keeps you entertained throughout the story. It's lovely to actually show the differences between the twins and how the experience actually helps them both to overcome insecurities. I loved Spencer and I think everybody needs a friend like him. I hope you'll love this story as much as I have.

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fun twin swap story. (Although technically, only one twin assumed the other’s identity.) Mallory and Danielle had a strained relationship because of Mallory’s intense work life. “Mallory had shut out any possibility of having a personal life since she went to work for him…” When Mallory needed time off for the wedding of her best friend, she asked Danielle to take her place at work. A challenging situation for Danielle with Mallory’s incredibly demanding boss, not to mention Danielle’s unexpected attraction to him. Mallory had her own issues with realizing too late her feelings for her soon-to-be married friend. “‘Most of the time it seems like you’re making choices based on what you think you should be doing, not based on what you actually want.’” Of course, keeping it all under control for both of the twins was easier said than done. “‘Lying and karma go hand in hand.’” This story had strong romantic tension. It was entertaining to see the two separate romances develop. There were also some great funny moments. It seemed to me that there was slightly more focus on Danielle’s part of the story. This is an open door romance with some innuendo and a moderate amount of harsh language, a small amount of which was strong.

Where has this book been since? It is hilarious from the start and once you settle in to it- it is smooth sailing.
Oh the sparks!!! Fireworks!!! Hilarious!!! I could think of so many words to describe this book but let me leave it here.
The journey to love began with switching places. As much as it is a romantic comedy, there are certain elements of seriousness that can be found there- how to find work/life balance, standing up for one’s self, being true to who you are and taking risks as life is not meant to be navigated boringly.
The characters are wonderful, almost like (my)siblings. They are relatable as they evolve throughout the book through the display of their emotions. It is almost like watching my siblings at work. Even the supporting characters brought their own peculiarities but not enough to warrant their own stories.
I enjoyed the settings in which the story was cast as it provides an ambience which makes for some of the hilarious scenes.
This is a 4.5 star from me and I look forward to reading more books from this author.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Mallory, the hard working twin with no personal life, is invited to her best friend Jesse's wedding. She owes it to him to go however her strict boss would never let her vacation during a work project. That's when she comes up with the idea to get her, loud and horoscope loving sister Danielle, to impersonate her. If Danielle can avoid Ethan what can go wrong? Little did both girls know is that they'll both be struggling with their feelings and unexpected romance.

This novel surprised me, I loved both of the twins story lines and the difference in personalities all the characters had. I found the flow between both sets of characters was perfect and that both romances came very naturally. This is super adorable with a few good laughs. In some situations I felt that sometimes things were a little over dramatized but not to the point where it ruined the story for me.

Overall I highly recommend this novel for it's sweet romances and good laughs.

[Tam Sesto · Rating 5 out of 5]

Danielle and Mallory are twins. Danielle is a wedding planner who loves her daily horoscopes. Mallory is Ethan’s personal assistant, and striving for a promotion in his luxury resort business. Mallory’s best friend is getting married, so she has convinced Danielle to be her while she attends the wedding that she wasn’t able to get time off for. This is Weddings Coordinated: A Romantic Comedy by Lisa S. Gayle.

What ensues is a fun, loving romance that will keep you rooting for true love. The chemistry between the characters was realistic and believable. The intimate portions were hot without being overly graphic. There was plenty of humor to go along with the typical romance which is what really made me love the book. When a book can make me laugh out loud several times, it’s a good book in my opinion. The writing style was consistent and hardly any filler; all story. If you enjoy romance and laughter, this is the book for you. I loved it.

What a lovely, sweet summer read!

Mallory Winter is desperate for her twin sisters’ help. Best friend Jesse is getting married, and she needs to get the wedding. The only problem is that she’s stuck working. Her boss, Ethan is completely focused on the job and ‘vacation’ is not necessarily in his vocabulary. Mallory’s only option is to beg her twin sister, Danielle, to cover for her. Yes, their personalities are completely different, but looking exactly alike is good enough, isn’t it? Nobody will figure it out… right?

I quite enjoyed this novel. It was sweet, and sexy (without being vulgar), and I liked the chemistry between the two mains and their love interests. I do have admit that I enjoyed Danielle’s character more than Mallory’s – I whole-heartedly agreed when she told Mallory to “woman up”. I really liked that it was a light read and while there are several characters that come into play, it doesn’t get confusing. Definitely great for a fun read!

Thank you Voracious Readers and Lisa Gayle for my copy!

[Amber · Rating 3 out of 5]

What an adorable premise! As familiar as the twin-swap concept is, the set-up for this book was too tempting to ignore.

Loved:
* How well Mallory and Dani were captured in their own personalities. Mallory being compliant, and Dani being feisty.
* PNR-need I say more!
* The way the climax unfolded (whooo! fight scene!)
* Bill scenes (I could just picture him in my mind and was ewww, scum, bai!)
* Drinks on fire
* Mrs. Peterson (the real MVP)

Would Have Loved:
* More depth in the heroes
* Less "poor communication," and more visible angst (swooooon... angst)
* A little more steam, and a little less closed door BUT this is almost always going to be something I want more of :)
* Less use of pet-names off the bat

Overall:
Over the top, fun, romantic story... if you're in the mood for antics, mild unrealistic-isms, and fun (although sometimes obtuse!) characters - read!

Totally LOVE this book. It gives me Hallmark movie vibes. It had me screaming smiling(not crying or kissing in the rain unfortunately) Now I gotta talk about the plot for a moment. For those worried that it seems ridiculous trust me it's out there but insanely well done. Books like this don't come around often. It was fast paced, funny, a little spicy and romantic. Now on to the characters. Danielle is literally going to heaven with wings. Jesse is the Man, good boy next door girls go for. Honestly Mallory is a selfish brat who needs to break a leg one day(that's putting it nicely) And Ethan is the sexy, infuriating, makes you want to punch him in the face man woman want cuz he's sexy(needed to be said twice) I got this book for free downloaded via Vocarious Reads Only and gotta say it was Worth It. Pick this book up now. I'm gonna miss it and will now be picking up a physical copy. It's one of those books that is soo good you can't put it down. Devoured it in 2 days cuz I couldn't wait for what was next. I want more of this story tbh

I was given a copy of this book from Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review. When I started reading this book I was afraid it was going to be the same cliche and predictable storyline about twin siblings flawlessly switching places. I was so happy this wasn’t the case!
The story follows twin sisters Mallory and Danielle. The sisters are complete opposites which leads to some pretty hilarious situations for Danielle, who pretends to be Mallory for a few days. This novel was light hearted and fun. Both Danielle and Mallory each have their own love story. It was entertaining to read about the struggles each twin went through and I thoroughly enjoyed both the romantic story lines. The first couple chapters where a little slow but the book got better and better as it progressed; I definitely read it in two days because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened in the end! Hard to believe this was a debut novel and looking forward to reading more from this author.

[Barbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Twin sisters switching places? That concept  intrigued me; however, such a complicated deception is a setup for hurt feelings and misunderstandings. I find some of the time changes confusing; going from past to present needs smoother, clearer transitions. The relationship with Ethan seems to happen too fast to be real beyond the physical attraction. Jesse seems to keep secrets too long. I would like to see him own up to his feelings sooner. The main characters deceive themselves as well as others. I do not have much patience with the scope of their dishonesty. However, this story includes fun and amusing moments with moderate consequences for the characters. It lays a solid foundation for subsequent stories. I would read other titles in this series.

I was gifted an e-book copy of Weddings Coordinated in return for an honest review.

I haven’t read a romance book in a while and I forgot what I was missing, I really enjoyed it.

Weddings Coordinated follows the lives of twin sisters Mallory & Danielle when one sister takes the place of the other so that the other twin can go to the wedding of her male best friend. What follows is some awkward moments, romance and some laugh out loud moments too. It can be cheesy in places, but I must admit I do like a bit of cheesiness sometimes. It is what I imagined romance would be like when I was younger.

I really felt engrossed in the twins’ stories and felt all the emotions they felt. I had to keep reading to find out what would happen in the end.

Overall, I loved this book and it has encouraged & reminded me to read more romance books in between all the crime books I usually read.

Mallory wants to go to her best friend’s wedding but her boss won’t give her the time off so she asks her twin sister to impersonate her. Danielle doesn’t think that it is a good idea but misses her sister so much since her work swallowed her up that she agrees and hopes it will help. What could possibly go wrong?
I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters were likeable and it was easy to be caught up in their dilemmas and the relationships between all of the characters. I liked the witty and humourous writing style that gave me enough details to be invested in each scene but moved fast enough that I didn’t feel bogged down. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romcom and look forward to reading other books from this author.

This is the first book by Gayle I've read. A cute, standalone rom- com. Well written with just the right amount of angst. Our main characters are twin sisters Danielle and Mallory. Both are successful in their careers, but Mallory finds herself in a work/life dilemma and talks her sister into switching places...while these two sisters look exactly the same their personalities are nothing alike. I was worried that I would get my characters mixed up but Gayle did a great job writing this in a way that I was never confused and really enjoyed this romance read from start to finish. Fun, sweet and steamy. I loved the dedication to family and friends and the HEA. Will definitely be looking forward to more from this author.

Review for Weddings Coordinated by Lisa S. Gayle @lisasgayle on Instagram
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 💫

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy. It's about two identical twin sisters, Danielle and Mallory, and how they switch places so that Mallory can go to her best friend, Jesse's, wedding. Mallory's boss, Ethan, is a workaholic and won't let her take the time off, so Danielle does the favor only to meet this grumpy boss. And when Mallory gets to Jesse, she has some life changing moments. I won't spoil it, but this book was like two romance stories in one book. It was funny, original, and I loved all the astrology in it. (I totally related to that.) I also loved the additional characters in it. They were very entertaining. I'll rate it R for open door sexual content, but it was not overdone, it was classy. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what else Lisa S. Gayle comes up with next.

[Sally Stackhouse · Rating 4 out of 5]

Identical twin sisters engage in a swap so that one of them can attend her best friend’s wedding and can’t get vacation time from her boss.

Things become very complicated, not only in a sister pretending to be the other one but also because of their different personalities.

At times the book is quite hectic and things happen quickly. Although it is described as ‘hilarious’ I found it more tongue-in-cheek and implausible in places.

It is a well written book with subtle sex scenes which suits my reading tastes and is tastefully done.

The secondary characters enhance the essence of the book.

The author is new to me but I will look out for more of her writing in the future.

[Prachi · Rating 4 out of 5]

The romance and comedy of this book did not disappoint. Mallory and Danielle are as different as identical twins get, so swapping them for only a couple of days should not have ensued a comedy of such proportions, yet somehow I found myself turning the pages quickly and finishing the book in one day. I must admit that Danielle and Ethan's plot engaged me more than Mallory's and Jesse's. Ethan seems a more complex and a better created character than Jesse. It was an interesting read for sure, and I love the writing style of the author. Looking forward to reading more of their works.

Identical twins Danielle and Mallory have drifted apart in recent years so when Mallory asks Danielle to pretend to be her for a weekend, she just couldn’t say no. Mallory needs to see her best friend Jesse before he gets married and her tyrant of a boss won’t give her the time off. This is Mallory’s last chance to let Jesse know how she really feels. And she certainly didn’t tell Danielle just how attractive her boss Ethan is.
Filled with fun, awkwardness and lots of romantic tension this novel makes you wish for happy endings.

Funny and entertaining - a good light read.

Identical twins who switch places almost always a good laugh and this book does not disappoint.

Mallory convinces her identical twin Danielle to cover for her at work while she heads to her best friend’s wedding. Oh, and it turns out, Mallory has some conflicting feelings about her best friend, Jesse, as well. What could possibly go wrong in this scenario?

Am I glad I read it - yes
Was it a waste of my time - absolutely not
Would I sit down and read it all over again - maybe
Would I read more by this author based on this book - yes, definitely

I loved this book!

It is a story about identical twins switching places, finding and falling in love while understanding themselves even more. The characters were interesting to follow, and although there were two main characters, it was easy to follow each individual's journey without confusion. I liked how they grew and became better versions of themselves by the end of the story. The supporting characters were also interesting, and I can't imagine the story working out well without them!

It is a great book, and you should definitely read it if you come across it!

Mal and Jesse are your typical friends to lovers but done in a way that keeps you on your toes. You know it’s coming but not sure how the truth will come out.

There were numerous parts where I laughed and it pulled me in more. I will definitely buy a hard copy once it’s available.
