At The Billionaire's Wedding by Maya Rodale, Miranda Neville, Katharine Ashe, Caroline Linden
3.0
Duke Austen, internet billionaire, and Jayne Sparks, romance writer, are getting married. Except the castle that they're supposed to get married in has burned down. They've found a last minute replacment, but will the wedding go off as planned?
The Best Laid Planner by Miranda Neville
It's up to planner Arwen Kilpatrick to head overseas and see whether or not Brampton House is going to be up to snuff. She encounters a man she takes to be the caretaker. Of course, he's not. A familiar trope but done okay. Three stars.
Will you be my Wi-fi? by Caroline Linden
Archer Quinn needs the internet. And not just the hopelessly slow download that everyone else is using up the hill. He tracks a faint signal to a nearby cottage where Natalie Corcoran is trying to write a cookbook (and avoid family drama). As they spend some time together, they start to find out just how much they have in common. I wouldn't quite give it the A- that Amanda from Smart Bitches gave it, but a solid three stars.
The Day it Rained Books by Katharine Ashe
Hot librarian (not really, according to the story she works in a library, which is also made plain in the story is a difference worth noting) is running a bookmobile but doesn't know that the mysterious benefactor of said bookmobile is the hot stranger who she sees in the park each Friday. Nor does she realize that he is the one footing the bill so she can go to her best friend's wedding. Creep stalker = true love? At least he realizes he's being creepy. Two and a half stars.
That Moment when You Fall in Love by Maya Rodale
This story was just a little too smug for me. We're constantly reminded that Maya Rodale wrote the book that brought Duke and Jayne together and Jayne's supposedly written a book that was actually written by Rodale... oh, and her pen name is Maya Rodale.
Supposedly this story is about a writer for Jezebel and her boss but it was fairly disjointed and never really came together. Two stars.
