I'm loving Jamine Guillory's Wedding Date series. Her books are so warm and comforting - they deal with real world issues and non-perfect people, without a lot of the contrived situations of many romances. It's true that not much happens in her books, but that feels like real life to me. Also nice to see characters who eat a lot and have normal, not perfect figures.

I love a good romance but this one fell flat for me. I hate when characters keep really big secrets from each other, and I didn't find there was a lot of chemistry or good character development.
