To Have and to Hold
The Wedding Belles, Volume 1
Lauren Layne
Pocket Books
July 26, 2016
ISBN 9781501135132
$5.99
“This
engaging tale has a light, fun style…enough teases are given about the
other “Wedding Belles” to create genuine interest in where their stories
lead.”
—Publishers Weekly (To Have and to Hold)
“There
are family and friends, coworkers, people that aren’t as they seem,
wedding information galore, dinners, drinks, chocolate, fear, anger,
hurt, sadness, secrets, lies, deceit, tears, laughter, happiness,
romance,
loving and love. There is nice closure…This is only the second book of
Layne’s that I have read. I look forward to reading the next two books
in the series, FOR BETTER OR WORSE and TO LOVE AND TO CHERISH. There
was an excerpt from book two FOR BETTER OR
WORSE, at the back of the book that just whet my appetite for more. I
look forward to seeing what the Wedding Belles will be up to next!”
—Romance Junkies (To Have and to Hold)
“Layne
packs as much into this sexually charged and emotionally intense
novella (an introduction to her upcoming Wedding Belles series) as most
authors do in a full novel…The heat between [Leah & Jason] is enough
to melt steel, and the
emotional connection and psychological struggles will keep readers
engaged.”
—Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW (From This Day Forward)
“[From This Day Forward] is trope-nip to me. Weddings/wedding planners,
check. Second chances,
check. Sassy heroine,
check…As this book is the prequel to the forthcoming Wedding Belles, I cannot wait to get all of their stories!...From This Day Forward
is 100% recommended for anyone who likes stories
about weddings, stories about people who are a really good at their
jobs, relationships that are a tad explosive both in and out of bed, and
introductions to new tribes of characters to get to know over the next
few books.”
—Fresh Fiction “Fresh Pick” (From This Day Forward)
“From This Day Forward
is a delightful book. Now I can't wait for the other ones in this
series…Lauren Layne hit it right on the nose on what goes on behind the
scenes…Can Jason and Leah see wedding bells in their future? We can
only hope and wait for the next book in the “Wedding Belles” series. From This Day Forward was a great kick-off to the series.”
—Fresh Fiction (From This Day Forward)
About TO HAVE AND TO HOLD:
She’s going after a second chance at life…
Discovering
her fiancé is an international con man just moments before they
exchange vows devastates celebrity wedding planner Brooke Baldwin’s
business—and breaks her heart. Brooke thinks she’s found a fresh start
in NYC with the Belles
and her first bridal client, a sweet hotel heiress. Then she meets the
uptight businessman who’s holding the purse strings.
But will she miss out on another shot at love?
Seth
Tyler wishes he could write a blank check and be done with his sister
Maya’s wedding. Unfortunately, micromanaging the event is his only
chance at proving that Maya’s fiancé is a liar. Standing in his way is
the stunning blond wedding
planner who’s hell-bent on a comeback mission—and who both irritates
and arouses him. Can he persuade her to
unplan a wedding? And more importantly, how will he convince her that the wedding she should be planning…is theirs?
To Have and to Hold
will have readers engaged from the start, and wedded to the idea of a summer and fall season filled with Wedding Belles!
