Beauty and the Billionaire: The Wedding by Jessica Clare
3.0
Someone's out to ruin Gretchen's happy-ever-after on the eve before the big day. Can she trust Hunter, the man she's given her heart to? And can she rely on her sister Daphne (the least reliable person of all!) to help her salvage things? Or is this marriage going to go down in flames before Gretchen and Hunter ever get to the altar?
This was a cute little novella.
I did have a couple of issues though...Maybe this was just me, but I thought this was supposed to serve as a sort of segway into the next series? The members of the wedding party were all talked about but there was a lot that kind of felt like you were supposed to already know about them. I will admit that maybe I did things out of order (should I have read the next series between One Night with a Billionaire and this one?) But even if that should have happened, there could have been a little...more to explain that (I guess? I don't know for sure, but it did confuse me a bit)
I loved the fact that Hunter and Gretchen fit so well together. It was kind of hilarious watching as Gretchen freaked out over everything, even going so far as to worry that Hunter would want someone else (but really, why would she ever go that far?). I really loved the way he calmed her down and it was a little disappointing that he had to ruin his surprise, but at least he was quick to allay her fears because he didn't ever want her to worry that he was after someone else or anything like that. Although I did have to wonder why the hell Gretchen would think he'd ever have an affair?
I did like the sidestory with Daphne and Wes. It's nice that she's finally found someone who can keep her grounded.
