Happily Inc is a wedding destination town in California. Weddings Out of the Box gets a lot of business all throughout the year since they specialize in themed weddings. Renee is one of the top wedding coordinators they have, and even though she likes planning weddings, she can't see herself planning her own. Jasper hasn't been living in Happily Inc for long, but the town is just the right place for him to get his writing done. Just off a book tour and working on a new book, when he meets Renee, she becomes something of an inspiration for him. Both of them are cynical about love, but together could that change?

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is the first book I have read by Susan Mallery even though I have had her books on my TBR for quite a while now. Meant to Be Yours is book number five in the series, but it's not a series that you have to read in order. Although, being the person I am, I'm going to go back and start from the beginning.

Happily Inc is a small town, with big business in the wedding industry. Each book in the series, tells the story about another couple meeting and falling in love in this town. Renee and Jasper each have pasts that they would like to forget, but without it, they wouldn't be the people they are today. But it has scarred them from finding love. Will all of that change when they get together?

Renee is pretty secretive about her past, every man she has loved has left her and she isn't going to let that happen again. She will guard her heart until the very end. Jasper was broken after his time in the military. His friends believe that he is pretty much put back together, although he can't believe that.

This book pulled me in from the very beginning. With a few unexpected things that happened, it kept me invested until the very end. A quick enjoyable read!

Review: His Demand by Lisa Renee Jones

Series: Dirtier Duet #1
 

Gabe Maxwell doesn't like redheads or relationships, but when he meets Abigail, all of that goes out the window. But Abbie, as he likes to call her, isn't as sweet and innocent as she may seem. She has a past that could get both of them hurt. Abbie's ex is a billionaire and determined to make her life a living hell just to get what he wants. Gabe has enough of his own money to fight any man who wants to hurt Abbie or her family. But what Gabe doesn't know can hurt him and Abbie doesn't want to see that happen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lisa Renee Jones for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I have read a few books by Lisa Renee Jones, but this one missed the mark for me. Most romance books I'm able to fly through in a couple of days, but this one I just couldn't.

I think the thing that bothered me most about this book is that Abbie kept saying how she shouldn't be with Gabe because of her past. Every chapter, this was the recurring theme. They both know they are bad for each other, but the connection is great, so they try to work it out. Their main focus in this book is the numerous problems that keep arising with Shannon's(Abbie's mom) animal shelter. Abbie's ex is so determined to take this property from her, that he makes lots of false accusations. But this is the only thing she has asked for in the divorce, so he doesn't know why it is so valuable to him.

The saving grace of this book is the end, that leaves you with a cliff-hanger to find out what his going to happen next. So I will read the next book in the series.
