Until You by Denise Grover Swank
4.0

I thought that once we'd moved on from Only You it wouldn't matter that I hadn't read any of the other wedding books by Swank ... and I can't figure out if I'm right or not.  I can't find anything about Randy and Brittany but it plays out like these are people that should have been the couple in their own story.  It's kinda strange because I feel like I should know them already but I can't find them anywhere ... unless they are maybe secondary characters?  If they are, then once again the fact that I jumped into a series (kinda) did me a disservice.  If they aren't, then it is a little weird.  (Or maybe I need to work on my memory.)

Overall though the coupling of Tyler and Lanie is a wonderfully entertaining read.  Both Tyler and Lanie have their reasons for avoiding relationships but lucky for them it looks like they've both reached a point in their lives where they are ready for a change.  Their friends are pairing up and it's causing them to evaluate themselves & what they truly want out of life.

And it couldn't have happened at a better time because together these two are just down-right ah-dorable!  It's a hoot as they first try to ignore their attraction and then hide it from her meddling cousin.  There's a few truly hilarious slapstick moments that had me smiling and their verbal sparring is all sass & fun.  While things may have played out a little too conveniently (it is a romance), they have to have a HEA (because it is a romance).  Plus, once you see how Tyler wins his girl, you'll be wishing you had been there to see it  :)
