Once Upon a Winter Wedding by Jeannie WattMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
In a bizarre plot twist Kara Gilroy and her fiance want to get married in a hurry but are posted overseas so rope in Kara's big brother Brant and best friend Stevie to arrange everything. As a sidebar, if you can't even spare the time to plan your own wedding then are you actually invested in the marriage?
Anyhoo, Stevie and Brant are polar opposites. Years ago Brant ripped Stevie a new one for leading Kara astray, something that hurt Stevie very badly because she was only trying to distract Kara from the pain of her parents' deaths. Forced to grow up too fast, Brant is a driven career man, even working on his annual leave. By contrast, Stevie doesn't have a full-time job, preferring to volunteer here and there.
Can these enemies stop fighting long enough to plan Kara's dream wedding?
I loved the premise, aside from the idea that neither one of a couple can be bothered to take any interest in planning their own wedding, but this just didn't have any heat or tension to pique my interest. It was pleasant enough but the steamiest it got was a brief kiss and handhold. Sadly there seemed to be more interest in setting up other books for Stevie's sisters than creating any dramatic tension.
I received a free copy of this book by the publisher Tule in return for an honest review.
