If you are a fan of Ms Flynn’s Hartigan books, then Wedding Date Disaster is right up your alley!
We meet Hadley - just as the wobbly wheels of her “perfect” life come off a little bit more at the worst time, as she is headed home for her sister’s wedding.
She is paired with Will, the evil twin to her best friend.
When the story begins, Hadley and Will have known each other for about a year and have had a contentious relationship. It was entertaining to see them “have to” spend a week together and have the layers of misunderstandings between the two peeled away and for them to get to know the real person beneath the assumptions.
Both characters have a strong arc of emotional growth on their own which makes their interactions that must sweeter. The side plot of Hadley and her family made me want to know the Donovan- Martinez family better! Ms Flynn did an excellent job of introducing us to a new set of characters into the “Harbor City” world. Not only are the main characters people you want to root for, the secondary cast is excellent.
I am hoping that Wedding Date Disaster is the first book of a new series from Ms Flynn and we get to see some of the secondary characters get their own stories! I need more Pawpaw!

In Her Aussie Holiday, Ms London returns us to Patterson Bluff in Australia and the Walters family. This time we
are with youngest brother, Trent.
In a very original meet cute, he is paired with American (and his sister’s friend) Cora. I liked Trent and Cora. Both came to their interactions with baggage that was impacting everything around them. It was interesting to see them push each other to grow while also watching to see if they would give into the spark around them.
There are several emotional topics touched on, but these really make the characters more human and real. Having now read two stories around the Walters siblings, I am curious about everyone else!

TBR Reads:
Say You'll Be Mine by Maria Luis3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time
Copy purchased as a "free" read
When I picked Say You’ll Be Mine our of the TBR pile, I was looking for a light read - something just for fun in between a heavy ARC reading schedule.
Shae and Brady hit the spot! This is a case of high school sweethearts reconnecting after 12 years apart. There is tension, misunderstandings, meddling grandmas and more. There is some emotional growth and resolution of issues, but I didn’t feel like anything was super deep. This was a fun read and I am hoping to see more of the interesting secondary cast in future books.
