A novella about Sophie and Bennett's wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado on Coronado Island. The banter definitely delivered and the smut also delivered. This is definitely on the list to read again. Just for the escapism to Coronado Island.

5 Stars!!

The final novella chronicling Bennett and Chloe’s love story culminates with a satisfying start to their happy ever after. The shenanigans they get into made me laugh and grin like a fool while the sexiness remains ever impressive!

I’ll say it again. The first 3 main installments of this series plus the novellas in between are the best romantic, titillatingly explicit, classy contemporary smut I’ve ever read to date.

What that says about me, I don’t really know. However, if you can contest that, I’d be glad to give your suggestions a go to see if they can top this. Please feel free to change my mind!

This story was sort of meh for me. Not sure this story was necessary, or maybe it could've been shorter. I do like Bennett and Chloe, and the little prank on Will with Hanna playing along was kind of humorous at first, but this would've been better as a shorter story. Everything leading up to the wedding was overly dramatic because of course everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. And too many details of all of the events leading up to the wedding that I couldn't have cared less about.
