About this ebook

Don't sleep with your best friend's brother.

Finn Evans is such a cynic.

How can he not believe in love and marriage but still be a musician for weddings?

I may be a hopeless romantic, but at least I believe in love—which makes being a wedding planner at Happily Ever Afters a dream job for me.

Finn and I clash about everything—except our undeniable attraction to each other.

After one brief encounter on a hotel rooftop, we agree to a no-strings-attached fling. But with each day that passes, I fall more in love with him and his little girl, Paisley.

The only problem is, our boss has a rule: No sleeping with coworkers or wedding guests.

As the newest wedding planner, I can’t afford to lose my job, and, unlike Finn, I don’t have a trust fund to fall back on. Not to mention, Finn’s sister, Ireland, is my best friend, roommate, and fellow coworker.

But when Ireland catches us together at a wedding, everything comes crashing down.

Not only am I about to lose my job and my home, but I may just lose my chance at a forever kind of love.

Ratings and reviews

The 4th book in the Ever After series focuses on Finn the musical component of the business and Aria an assistant wedding planner. There characters are total opposite from their upbringing to their current situation but that doesn’t stop their attraction. When they finally give in will their secret relationship survive one of the many rule that Gia gave them? One click to find out in this newest add that doesn’t disappoint. I love witnessing the growth and strength with Aria characters.

Two people with firm and fixed ideas, each programmed by their parents and upbringing. Finn comes from a dysfunctional family dynamic, but affluent upbringing and trust fund. Has a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship and no desire for a deeper connection, love or marriage, despite others around him being happy and content. Aria' upbringing was the complete opposite, but poverty drives her to save money to help her family, all to the exclusion of herself. She does have thoughts of marriage and contentment, but also dreary and dismal strain of believing to be unworthy of anything good for herself. Good or bad is choice and desire..choices can change

I love single dad stories and I fell hard and fast for Finn, his love for his daughter Paisley melted my heart. I loved the relationship that Aria developed with Paisley, it was heartwarming. This was an emotional read that tugged at my heart strings. There was witty banter, heat and enough tension to keep me invested throughout. This was a beautifully written story with characters that you cannot help but fall for.
