A Simple Wedding
Jenny always dreamed of getting married at Heart’s Landing. But when she finally visits the charming small town, she’s there to make wedding arrangements for someone else: her cousin, who also happens to be her boss and a famous movie star. To keep the event secret and avoid a media circus, Jenny pretends she’s the one getting married.
Nick is intrigued by this bride-to-be who starts visiting his bakery every afternoon for sweet treats and conversation. He has to keep reminding himself that she’s already spoken for.
As Jenny deals with her cousin’s ever-changing demands, she tries to hide her attraction to Nick. Planning this wedding couldn’t be more complicated…and what will happen once the truth comes to light?
This funny, heartwarming romance includes a free original recipe for the best-ever Lemon Bars.
In A Simple Wedding, life hands Jenny a few lemons. But her visits to Nick’s bakery—and her conversations with him— have a way of making even the sour moments sweet. These lemon bars are so easy, they’ll look and taste like they came from a professional bakery, and they’ll add pure sunshine to anyone’s day.
MY REVIEW: "A Simple Wedding", by author Leigh Duncan, is a delicious book--the first in a charming new contemporary series from Hallmark Publishing. Beautifully descriptive writing, which makes the reader feel as though they are actually experiencing the sights, scents, sounds, and tastes detailed by the author, enhances the sweet love story. Jenny Longley had long dreamed of a fairy-tale marriage ceremony at Heart's Landing, a quaint little Rhode Island town which was home to a renowned destination wedding resort. When Jenny does arrive in Heart's Landing for a wedding, it's not hers--it's the wedding of her boss, who is also her cousin, Karolyn Karter, fabulous film star and Diva. Karolyn;s mother and Jenny's mother had been sisters, and when Jenny tragically lost her parents as a young child, Karolyn's family gave her a home. Feeling bound by lifelong gratitude, Jenny reluctantly agrees to help Karolyn make her own wedding a reality. Posing as a bride-to-be, complete with a fictional fiance, Jenny makes all the arrangements, which are subject to continual change by the real bride. Heart's Landing is even more wonderful than Jenny had imagined, and she feels drawn to the place and it's people--especially the handsome baker, Nick Bell, who is the owner and operator of "I Do Cakes". Nick is as appealing as the sweet treats he creates, and a mutual spark is felt by both he and Jenny. However, he can't quite figure out this soon-to-be-married and "off limits" lady, who doesn't act like any bride he's ever met. With the date of Karolyn's wedding looming ever near, Jenny can't wait until all is said and done and she can explain her actions to Nick and the townspeople of Heart's Landing. Jenny has fallen in love with Nick, but will he, and the town, understand and forgive her? Will giving Karolyn the wedding of her wishes cause Jenny to lose the love of a lifetime? "A Simple Wedding" was a delight to read, and I look forward to further entries in this series.
