A Cottage Wedding (Heart's Landing #2)

It’s more than a charming small town― it’s a premier wedding destination. But will one journalist ruin Heart’s Landing forever?
  Tara Stewart’s boss at Weddings Today magazine sends her to Heart’s Landing to debunk its romantic legends. This could devastate the many local businesses who cater to weddings, from Forget Me Knot Florist to Dress for a Day.

The locals convince Jason Heart, the handsome descendant of the town’s founder, to show Tara around the town. But can he persuade her to believe in the romance?

This heartwarming romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Orange Balsamic Roasted Carrots.

 


MY REVIEW:  Readers are treated to a return visit to the charming little destination wedding resort town called "Heart's Landing" in "A Cottage Wedding", Book Two in author Leigh Duncan's delightful contemporary romance series.Tara Stewart is almost within reach of her goal of being promoted at her dream job working for "Weddings Today", a premier bridal magazine. Her boss, Regina Charm has high standards and high expectations. When Regina tasks Tara with writing an expose of Hearts Landing which will keep them from winning the annual "America's Top Wedding Destination Competition", Tara, with visions of a promotion-fueled future, accepts the assignment. Regina's own wedding had been a planned event at the resort, but when she and her fiance parted ways, she blamed the management of the resort. Feeling the weight of Regina's need for retribution, Tara finds herself in a quandary when can find no fault with the destination wedding events or the town and its business folk. Most appealing of all is Jason Heart, descendant of the town's legendary sea captain founder and the current operations manager of the "Captain's Cottage"--the resort hotel. Winning the annual competition is essential for the continued success of Heart's Landing business community, and all of the people who work so hard to make each aspect of a Heart's Landing wedding so very special and unique depend on the good publicity from being ranked number one. Not knowing the true nature of Tara's visit, Jason becomes her tour guide, and the two of them get to know each other and greatly enjoy each other's company. Both of them have been hurt in previous relationships, but as the awareness and attraction grows between them, the layers of hurt began to peel away. However, through it all, Tara cannot forget the real reason that she was sent to Heart's Landing, and she is torn between her long-held dream of a career in journalism and her feelings of love for Jason and the community and its residents. She can't have both--can she? When Jason learns the truth of her assignment and how the time they spent together was originally the means to an end, will he forgive her? Author Leigh Duncan's wonderful storytelling is enhanced with descriptive details that give readers the feeling that they are actually tasting the delicious food, smelling the fragrant flowers, enjoying the sunshine and salt-spray breezes, and being treated to an ultimate comfort experience of personal pampering. The picturesque, quaint little Rhode Island town with its touching love-story history makes the perfect setting for a swoon-worthy contemporary romance.
