BLURB:
Two business owners come head-to-head in a feud with tulle and grit in this passionate story. This tale shows that even when life changes from the stress of a military career to working next to a wedding planner, love always finds a way to begin, even if it was never thought possible.
Meet Gillian Thacker. Her business: Bliss Bridal Salon. Her passion: Weddings. Her own wedding: It’s complicated. Life isn’t turning out like she’d planned. The last thing she wants is for a real-life hero to ride to her rescue, but an unexpected event puts her entire future in Redemption, Texas, at risk. So what’s a broken-hearted bridal expert to do? Maybe a new set of survival skills is exactly what she needs...
Tucker McBride has been proud to call himself a U.S. Army Ranger. But now that his days of service are over, he’s decided to put his expertise to use by founding a wilderness skills training school. He sets up shop in Redemption, next to Bliss Bridal, and so begins life: Part Two. Marriage has been pretty low on his agenda, but as soon as he meets Gillian, Tucker can’t help but contemplate the ultimate challenge: Convincing the reluctant bride to take his hand and leap into the adventure of a lifetime . . . until death do them part.
My Review:
My Rating: 3 stars
I received an advanced copy by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Gillian is part owner of a bridal company whose life isn't what she thought it would be. Tucker is an ex-soldier who is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life now that he is out of the military. He meets Gillian and sparks fly, however Gillian is struggling with figuring out who she is and doesn't want to add a new guy into the mix. This was a cute story, but at times it felt slow. I really liked Tucker, he grew as a character and went after what he wanted., Gillian was so wishy washy at times that I felt annoyed with her. Her self doubt annoyed me after the 3rd or 4th time and I didn't feel that she grew as a character. Sometimes I felt the focus was too much on weddings and not the partnership of two people. The side characters were written well and while this is the second book as the series it can be read as a standalone.
