funny hopeful tense medium-paced

4.0

It was my first read by the author and definitely enjoyed reading this story. It's a part of a series but you can read it as a standalone. I loved the chemistry between Hamish & Amy a lot; as they were trying to gear up to have a wedding, the side characters (especially the mom's) were a lot to handle. All of the characters had their unique personality; made me tear up from laughter at times. It was a great enjoyable lovable read that when you were at the end of the book, you definitely wanted it to last longer :-) 
Hamish & Amy have been dating for a long time now and they are very much in love but as Hamish's a very well known football player, they have to deal with a lot of press and outside noise. When Hamish gets injured, they are trying to figure out what happens next but they definitely have a strong relationship to deal with everything that comes their way. A lot is happening around them now that they are engaged and both their mom's seem to be hands on with the wedding planning; both are finding it hard to deal with as it seems they are pulled every kind of direction. While figuring things out, they elope to an island that's filled with love but will it be enough to have the wedding of their dreams in the end?...
