I'll be reading this soon.

I might read this straight after I finish depending on how it ends.

One of the better novella's out there in my opinion, especially wedding novella's which I think are a waste of time. I'm disappointed 9 out of 10 times not sure why I bother... wait I think this one is the reason why I bother.

Well if that isn't a good endorsement :-)

I agree! After Sue's comment I'll be jumping in tomorrow! ; )

I started it yesterday and am enjoying it. Real Life pulled me away; otherwise, I would have finished it.

I'll be listening to it again next week because I do enjoy it. I'm on an excellent novel now (view spoiler)[ from the "Brit in the FBI" series (hide spoiler)]

I just started listening to the audiobook. It starts with a focus on Sam and Nick's relationship.

Okay, Sam is sooo emotionally out-of-touch. (view spoiler)[She's confused that her emotions are unstable following a miscarriage (pregnancy affects emotions) when the pregnancy threw her for a loop and she'd been terrified of loosing another baby. Why is she confused? She should have expected this. (hide spoiler)]

I'll start tomorrow morning.

I finished it in one sitting! I really liked it. I thought it was the best in the series so far.
I'll come back with more comments in the morning.

Glad you enjoyed it, as I said it's more than a wedding TG.

ooh hopefully I can pick up today if I finish what I'm reading

ShoSho, it looks like your anti-wish is coming true: (view spoiler)[Peter is out and going to keep popping up for a while (hide spoiler)].

One thing that bothers me about these books is the vicious personalities and interactions Sam has with certain people over and over again. I'd think she'd be a bit better at handling some of them, but apparently not.

In my life, I'm not accustomed to having people be so hateful. Maybe it's the life of a cop? I just find I don't like those scenes as the people are so nasty and keep showing up.

Gah yes! At least (view spoiler)[ the private the detective was there and Sam didn't get shot the night before her wedding! He's not a worthy villain to keep popping up. (hide spoiler)]

About Freddie (view spoiler)[ and Elin, I loved them together. She might not be the girl next door but he loves her and I think she loves him too. I LOLed when she got Sam's bouquet and passed it on to Christina. (hide spoiler)]

And I guess we'll be seeing more of Faith and the her sisters in the next book.

What are you reading?

I was finishing

Finished and loved it! Couldn't put it down!! Even though Sam aggravated me again, I still loved all the hearts and flowers! ; )

This was the second time around for me, I had forgotten so much so it was great to re-listen to this novella. I think it only had 20-25% wedding for those who shy away from that type of novella. Still one of the better novella's out there.

I finished and really liked this one, I thought they might of just thrown the wedding at the end but glad we actually got some details. I'm really hoping Sam is over her secrets they're never small ones either.
