This books contains 3 and 1/2 stories and I say a half because that story the H/h are already together and have been for 10 yrs. They have planned on getting married all that time but have never found the time because they're too busy doing what they love best...oh, and traveling throughout the world together. Their story is about their friends (who the other stories are about) getting them married. One story contains a second chance at love, another an older heroine/younger hero and then the third is about the commitment-shy playboy. All were enjoyable to read.
.... pero no me acuerdo de las historias y los personajes aquí nombrados, no creo que haya sido tan mala porque no la metí en la carpeta de los peores libros, así que la dejare en un 2.5 jajajaja
El libro no está mal...pero me falto mucho más contenido. Las estrellas son porque me saco de un bloqueo lector que me había generado mi anterior libro. Estos libros siempre son mi solución cuando vengo de libros muy agobiantes...o muy gordos .
Bianca Brighton and Cooper Rush – engaged 10 years, passionately in love, world travelers for their careers – and they just haven’t found the time to marry, so their friends decide to put a wedding and honeymoon in one week, and as they pair up to make it work, one of each pair uses the time to seduce the other into lifetime commitments.
Their friends Ajay Singh and Mallory Tedesco – bosses of their own businesses, and Bianca and Cooper’s bosses. One in computers, the other in translations. Ajay, Indian family, decided not to marry to avoid traditional parental expectations, and has many short term affairs. Mallory , dumped by her fiancé of 3 years in the news (he didn’t call her 1st) – but a fiance she did not have much in common with. She suffers from anxiety in crowds… and 6 months later, after seeing Ajay’s interest, she decides to seduce him during their assignment… and they fall in love.
Jessie Martinez and Leo Sharpe – college lovers, broke up when Leo bought an engagement ring, got scared, got drunk, and had sex with a woman who came into his bed – he thinking it was Jessie – and then Jessie catching him in the morning… Leo never stopped loving her, but could not gain her forgiveness. Jessie’s anger toward Leo is less, but she is still hurt… but she hasn’t been able to find anyone else to love. Leo sees their pairing as his opportunity to whisk her away on his boat, seduce her, and show her she still loves him… and his plan works.
Drew Brighton and Annie Rush – Annie is 36, divorced, and has 2 boys… Drew (Bianca’s brother) is 27 and has loved Annie since he was 16. He and his moving company helped her move out of her husband’s home and into her own last year, and Drew spent time with her and her boys… and he sees their pairing as his time to seduce her and convince her he belongs in their lives… and after a weekend of great sex, he fully wins her heart with a gift of a charm bracelet, with perfectly chosen charms that show how well he knows her – a lefthanded first baseman’s mitt to represent one son, a yoyo to represent the next, a camera to represent her reviving career, and a heart – to represent himself.
And by the time of the wedding – all are happily in love for their lifetimes. ahhhhh

What a corker of a book. Fabulous. Loved the 4 different stories inside, and ended up emailing Ms Leto for Biancas story. Hubby particularly loved the love scenes, and its given him a lot of ideas. This is my sort of book. The love scenes were tastefully done, and was able to read this, snuggled up in bed next to hubby with our toddler jumping on us without losing any of the plots.
Tying the Knot Leo may have betrayed Jessie, but after one scorching kiss, she can't fight the chemistry anymore. Take This Man Drew tries to convince longtime crush Annie that he's the man for her? Even though he is 12 years younger than her. Bedded Bliss Ajay, the playboy billionaire, is ready for real commitment. Mallory is just coming off a dissed engagement. She is afraid to get hurt again. Everyone mentioned, got together to host a surprise wedding for their best friends Coop and Bianca. While getting everything together in a week, seemed impossible, it came off without a hitch. All the couples have their little quirks, that makes them real. Leto is a very gifted, and talented writer. 5 stars.
This is a series of short stories around the planning of a wedding. Each story is different and hot and sexy for its own reasons. This is a perfect way to spend a cold winter night with a hot cup of cocoa.
Cute collection of short stories, all different and yet tied together very nicely. I'll have to go read the free short on eHarlequin now to round it all out. :-)
Nice romantic interlude in my reading; a good way to break up all the shoot-em-up action adventures I find so addictive. The hot sex doesn't hurt, either.
