Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
3.0

I wanted to like this more than I did. Ultimately while some elements of the book were fun I think it suffered from a lack of tension. Because the author wrote from the perspective of both of the love interests, it was immediately clear they both wanted the same things and only poor communication was hindering their relationship moving forward. This created a lack of tension, and frustration, but not the fun kind. I found some of the spicy scenes got fairly repetitive between the two of them so the steam was sort of less steamy each round. I also think this book suffered from shutting out the other components of the story - like this miracle wedding planning in record time had basically no effort and minimal mishaps and for the most part we as readers just knew Olivia was planning the wedding, but that was just a premise to bring the two love interests together. Characters outside of the couple felt fairly flat to me.
