Keira Davis is determined to jumpstart her career as a wedding planner after losing her business in New York City through no fault of her own...other than trusting someone she shouldn’t have...who also happened to be her boyfriend.
Starting anew in Sunrise Beach, Keira meets Aiden Williams, the captain of the Majestic, a beautiful ship used as a venue for weddings along the stunning coast town, as she is now employed by a wedding planning firm in Sunrise Beach.
We learn quite a bit about Keira...not so much about Aiden. In this sense, the story seems a little imbalanced. While we are given hints as to his background (serving in the military, family issues (avoiding spoilers)), we never get the depth we do with Keira’s character. Because of that, it’s a little hazard to get a read on why Aiden reacts to different circumstances the way he does whereas Keira’s reasons behind her actions are more understandable.
While this is a romantic story, some parts flow smoothly while others seemed rushed or glossed over. Enjoyed the concept, however!
I voluntarily read an exclusive copy of this book, however, this is my honest opinion.

Zach Dorn is related to reality TV royalty but that doesn't mean he wants anything to do with it. He has opened his own wedding cruise business after completing time in Iraq as a soldier.
Blaine Carter is trying to start her life over after losing everything due to her ex-fiance Darren. Desperate to get her career as a wedding planner back to where it is she is trying to stay as far away from relationships as possible, not willing to be burned twice.
When Blaine comes to the rescue of a last minute disaster involving a wedding on Zach's boat, he realizes he may have misjudged his initial thoughts regarding her. Will Zach change his womanizing ways for someone like Blaine? Will Blaine realize that not all men are like Darren and give Zach a chance but will his own past jeopardize any chance with Blaine?
This was a great story about two people involved in making people's wedding dreams come true, yet they were both jaded by love themselves. Blaine had been burned so badly in the past in her relationship with Darren and I can completely understand her hesitancy to get involved in another relationship again. I can understand how it would be difficult for her to trust again. She was extremely good at her job and that would eventually get her the support she needs but she has a lot to do to prove herself in a new town.
Zach was once a ladies man and really had no desire to settle down but once meeting Blaine he knew that she was his dream come true. Yet as Zach just got his own business going he didn't want to lose anything or jeopardize what he was working hard to obtain. Yet at the time when he thought he was being the most helpful is when he destroys the trust with Blaine that he worked so hard to earn.
These are such great stories and I am loving the world of Laguna Beach!
