About the book:
A fun road trip romance to the Grand Tetons!
Always the wedding planner, never the bride.
Hope Rodriguez loves planning weddings. There’s nothing more special than helping a bride become a princess for a day, but she’s not sure that’s her calling in life anymore.
If only she had her own special someone. Her only current prospect leaves her with more questions than answers about where she falls in his list of priorities.
Yet, when a lifelong friend asks her to plan a destination wedding across the country in only two weeks, she’ll have to figure out how to pull off the impossible…alone.
After being burned as a child and deserted by his family, Caleb Donnelly has an intimate relationship with pain. Despite all he’s endured, one ache refuses to leave him—the throbbing in his heart where Hope is concerned.
So when Hope needs help with their friend’s wedding, he can’t stop himself from volunteering to travel two thousand miles to Jackson, Wyoming.
As long as he keeps his feelings in check, he might not ruin their friendship. Because a beautiful woman like Hope could never love a scarred man like him. There’s no way their longtime friendship could ever become more.
When Hope and Caleb’s plans go up in flames, it’s their hearts that might never recover.

My review:
This was my favorite story yet in this series! I didn't want to put it down! I just loved everything about the plot, from a good friend who's secretly in love to a rushed destination wedding Hope must plan to truly seeing her friend for the first time and realizing what a wonderful godly man he was. It was great seeing Hope discover what a great guy Caleb was and how he was really there for her during all of this, especially as things kept going wrong. He had the patience of a saint, was selfless, incredibly wise and really followed the Lord, plus he was cute! I couldn't really understand why Hope was confused about another guy because there just seemed to be so many red flags with him. I liked Hope, too, for her compassionate heart and giving nature but I also wondered how she could not have asked the guy she was dating what he thought about God or commitment after several months of dating. There were some sweet romantic moments in the story but also adventure. The scenery sounded incredible and almost felt like another character as it was so integral to the book. I liked seeing other characters from the series show up, though this did work as a stand-alone. I can't wait for the next one! I highly recommend this book!
I received a free kindle copy from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
Thank you so much!!
