Their single mom will pay for Alexa&#8217;s wedding, but Ellie started her own wedding fund years ago. She only needs to find a groom.<\/p>\n<p>At a wedding at her church, Ellie bumps into a man who&#8217;s one of the guests. She&#8217;s noticed him around the neighborhood, but today he introduces himself as Gray Whitby. They embark on a whirlwind romance, but her mother doesn&#8217;t trust freewheeling men like Gray.<\/p>\n<p>When Ellie risks her own future for her sister&#8217;s sake, Gray feels betrayed. Will he always play second fiddle to Ellie&#8217;s family?<\/p>\n<p>Will Ellie and Gray reconcile their differences so her dream wedding can come true, or will the romance they&#8217;ve begun come crashing down?<\/p>\n<p>=======================<br \/>\nI am completely adoring this series of novellas. I swear that as soon as I&#8217;m handed one, I&#8217;ve devoured it in a couple of hours. They&#8217;re all really easy reads and as someone who can&#8217;t resist a bit of romance, they&#8217;ve certainly not let me down. I loved every moment of this book. I loved how Ellie and Gray met and I loved how he encouraged her to be strong, even though he sometimes came across as a bit of a bully about it. My favorite character? Certainly not Ellie&#8217;s mom&#8230;but the pastor at the church where Ellie sneaks in to do some gardening. If you haven&#8217;t read this one yet, pick it up and find out just how sweet he really is.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<i>I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review.
