"A Waterfront Wedding: A Heart's Landing Novel from Hallmark Publishing"--by Leigh Duncan--In the dream destination wedding town of Heart's Landing, two rival wedding venue managers compete to host the wedding of the year--Have the managers met their own match? (see my review)

 

A Waterfront Wedding (Heart's Landing #3)

It’s the wedding of the year…

But who will get to host it?

In Heart’s Landing, Evelyn wants to prove she’s a good manager of the Captain’s Cottage by the bay—a favorite place for weddings. Meanwhile, Ryan has invested his life savings to remodel the town’s old boatworks into a brand-new wedding venue.

When a Marine and his bride win the Wedding in a Week contest, they have seven days to put together a romantic, all-expenses-paid event. It’ll be written up in Weddings Today magazine. But will they choose Evelyn’s cottage or Ryan’s boatworks?

The rival business owners cozy up to the bride and groom, helping them plan their military wedding. And even though Evelyn and Ryan both grew up in Heart’s Landing, they learn they never truly knew each other until now. But can they trust each other when only one of them can win?

This sweet, heartwarming romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for "Slow-Braised Lamb with Apricot Madeira Sauce"

 

MY REVIEW:  "A Waterfront Wedding" offers a return to Heart's Landing--the quaint little Rhode Island town where hearts find each other and wedding dreams come true. Author Leigh Duncan's beautifully-descriptive writing, interesting characters, and involving story lines ensure a real reader's treat for lovers of contemporary romance. The characters learn about themselves as they learn about each other. They grow as individuals as they grow closer together as a couple. Evelyn Heart has stepped up to manage The Captain's Cottage, a premier wedding venue, while the operations manager, her cousin Jason, is on his honeymoon. The annual "Wedding-in-a-WeeK" contest sponsored by "Weddings Today" magazine is won by a Marine and his bride-to be, who will have to choose between The Captain's Cottage and a new competitor, The Boat Works. Ryan Court, a friend since childhood of Jason and Evelyn, and a natural-born carpenter, had done an impressive job of restoring the boatworks in just over a year's time. He had put his heart and soul, and his life's savings into the project, and he very much needed to win the competition. As the competition becomes more intense, sparks fly between Evelyn and Ryan--but can rivalry lead to romance? I loved coming back to Heart's Landing--my own romantic imagination is captured by the legend of the town's founder, seafaring Captain Thaddeus Heart, and his own love story. Readers will also enjoy the first two books in the series, "A Simple Wedding" and "A Cottage Wedding".
