This week’s post is more light-hearted. I enjoyed this story so much that it only took me 3-4 hours to read it. It’s the story of a relationship adviser that has trouble following her own advice. It does follow Surrender Bay (Nantucket Love Story Series #1), but is a stand-alone story. Denise Hunter’s pleasurable tale, The Convenient Groom (Nantucket Love Story Series #2), gives you a wonderful feeling that stays with you long after you finish reading the book.
Kate Lawrence gives relationship advice and is getting ready to showcase her own wedding to the perfect man. Then, her fiance calls to break up with her a few hours before the wedding. Lucas Wright, who had just put the finishing touches on a gazebo he made for the wedding, overhears the conversation. He offers to marry her to save her from the media disaster of having to announce that the wedding is canceled. Lucas has reasons for offering to marry Kate, one he share with her and one he doesn’t.
Each chapter starts with a quote from Kate’s book. This was a fun book to read. The characters were lovable. Lucas has so much patience with Kate and treats her like a queen. His character moves the story along and makes it so endearing.
Update: This book was made into a Hallmark movie! I thought it was true to the book and enjoyable to watch. Please let me know if you’ve seen it and what you think.
