** A Classic Humor Fiction Bestseller! **
Claire Davenport is a hopeless romantic who shared her first kiss with Alex Murphy during a game of Spin the Bottle. Only Alex never pursued her after their kissing session and Claire regrets not telling him about her crush. At twenty-seven, no boyfriends have captured her heart in the same way. Still, she hasn’t given up on finding the one. Unfortunately, Forever Designs, her boutique wedding dress business, is accumulating more bills than invoices so love has to take a backseat for now.
When a famous model books Claire to design her wedding dress, she jumps at the opportunity only to find out the client is her childhood best friend and rival, Missy Peters. Claire and Missy’s friendship imploded when Missy stole Claire’s high school boyfriend. To save her business, Claire has no choice, but to work with Missy. To Claire’s surprise, the best man turns out to be Alex Murphy. Gone is the skinny boy with the awkward-but-endearing kisses. Alex is now a sexy scientist, who for some reason seems determined to stop the wedding, which Claire can’t let happen.
Now, Claire must design the perfect dress for demanding Missy, while at the same time countering Alex’s attempts to break up the bride and groom. Can Claire convince Alex to give Missy and her fiancé a chance, and that true love is possible? And can she do it without him breaking her heart all over again?
My Review:
Oh my gosh! I was already half in love with Claire in her sister’s book, and now I’m completely smitten. I think we all have that one boy from our youth that we still wonder “what if…?” about. I loved seeing Claire find out what could happen with that childhood crush. Alex is positively heartbreaking. I’m not surprised he has the opinions about love that he does after everything he’s lived through. It was kind of magical watching him discover the positive aspects of love through Claire’s eyes. The closing scene of this book makes me think the author has several more stories on the horizon for us. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
