I loved this book so much! I wondered as I read, without paying attention to what series number it was, if there were more before it. Like maybe Jess’s sister Gabi, whose wedding is the setting for this story. But alas, this seems to be the author’s first book. But I can tell you that it will not be the last book I want to read from her! The banter was so good in this. All the things that happened to the characters, and all the great development of each of the main characters as well as the side characters, left me completely satisfied with the story, but also wanting more!

The setting of Hawaii for the wedding was a fun one. Now I’d just finished another book before this one that also took place in a tropical setting, so once in awhile my brain would mix up some details, but it didn’t matter, because this book stood out on its own. I loved how Jess dealt with the things in her life. It was so real. Trying not to do anything to take attention away from her sister on her big day, but also feeling like she rarely got any attention that her sister was the golden child. I feel that way myself sometimes. And Connor, I did adore Connor. While I feel like he might have overreacted a bit at the little revelation that Brody let loose at the end, I can understand.

I like how even when our characters got their HEA, it didn’t come all perfectly wrapped up neat with a bow. There were still obstacles and it wasn’t sudden or immediate. It was all perfect though! Seriously, I really loved this book and can’t wait for the next one! I think the little extra at the end said it was Brody’s story. I didn’t read the preview, because I’ll just wait to read it all when it is available. I really never read the previews, because I just want the whole thing!
