About this ebook

Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in The Wedding Belles, a contemporary and witty romance series about three high-powered New York City women who can plan any wedding—but their own.

Alexis Morgan has spent the past eight years devoted to turning her tiny start-up into Manhattan’s premiere wedding planning company, The Wedding Belles. Now that her business is thriving, it’s time to turn towards her much neglected personal life, and Alexis approaches her relationships like she does everything else: with a plan. Not a part of that plan is Logan Harris, the silent partner in the Belles, and the one person who’s been there for her since the very beginning. But Alexis needs someone fun, and Logan’s all business, all the time—except when a late night at the office ends with an unexpected kiss that leaves the usually cool and together Alexis reeling.

Logan has lusted after Alexis since the day he walked into the tiny Harlem apartment that used to double as her office. But the ambitious wedding planner has always been untouchable...until now. Alexis has made it clear that she’s on the dating market—and equally clear that he’s not in the running. But when Alexis finds herself in need of a date for her sister’s last minute wedding in Florida, Logan knows it’s the perfect time to show Alexis that there’s more to him than numbers and spreadsheets—and beneath the pinstripes and glasses lies a hot-blooded heartthrob. As Florida’s sultry days turn into even hotter nights, Logan’s out to convince Alexis that the fling of a lifetime could just maybe turn into forever...

Ratings and reviews

"To Love and to Cherish" by Lauren Layne is book number three in the "Wedding Belles" series. This is Alexis Morgan and Logan Harris' story. Alexis and Logan are partners in the Wedding Belles company. Logan is a silent partner and the accountant for the business. They have been in partnership for the past eight years. Logan from the beginning has had feelings for Alexis and has been waiting for the right time. This is a sweet friends to lovers romance. Overall, I enjoyed Logan and Alexis' story. I fell in love with Logan from the start. Alexis was a little harder to get to know. At times I wanted to smack some sense into her. I guess at times we all have a hard time seeing something great that is right in front of our face. Will Alexis take a chance on love or will she be her own worst enemy? FYI, includes mature content.

Logan may not have all the standard qualities of a heartthrob, but what he lacks in flamboyant sex appeal, he makes up for with his heart. That was evidenced in the way he helped out a stranger in need of a friend. Alexis took him for granted, but I don't think she did so maliciously. Her dedication to her business success, made her clueless to the gift that had been right in front of her for years. Her very own Prince Charming. The Wedding Belles series combines words of wisdom, adorable characters and witty but emotional filled plot lines into a sentimental bundle of joy. Logan is my favorite character.

I love Love Stories and from the first pages this Love Story sizzles between the two main characters. The only problem is that one of them is too scarred from the past to realize it. The chemistry builds up to great, the sex is incredible, until one runs for safety and risks losing a lifetime of love. I do wish that the books in the series had been better labeled as I read the last one first!
