Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling author of the Fool's Gold romances invites you to visit Happily Inc., a wedding destination founded on a fairy tale.

Sculptor Nick Mitchell grew up in a family of artists and learned from his volatile father that passion leads only to pain. As he waits on a new commission, he takes a day job as a humble carpenter at a theme wedding venue. The job has its perks - mainly the venue's captivating owner, Pallas Saunders. Although he won't let love consume him, for ecstasy with an expiration date, he's all in.

Pallas adores Weddings in a Box. But if she can't turn the floundering business around, she'll have no choice but to cave to her domineering mother and trade taffeta for trust funds, working at the family's bank. Then when a desperate bride begs Pallas for something completely out of the box, her irresistible new hire inspires her. Nick knows she doesn't belong behind a desk, and she knows in her heart that he's right - where she really belongs is in his arms.

You Say it First

A great audiobook! Not trashy, just a true love story. Definitely one that I would listen to again.

Fool’s Gold Revisited?

As a stand alone book, it’s an enjoyable read. As the first book in a series, it feels like another Fool’s Gold book. The somewhat quirky, small town with close friends and neighbors just moved to another location. The storyline and flow are the same. Any reader who enjoyed that series will enjoy this book. The continuation of the Mitchell brothers’ story was interesting and I look forward to learning more about how the family relationship develop. I think the initial characters are interesting and hope for more depth and intricacies as the series moves forward.

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this story. It's my first Susan Mallery book but it certainly won't be my last. I loved the variety of characters introduced and the hints of a backstory you got from each one. I found myself disappointed when the characters were disappointed and excited when the characters were excited. This story completely sucked me in. It took me less than 4 days to finish this book and I'll be moving on to the second one tonight. Definitely worth the read/listen.

Easy listen from one of my favorites

Mallery always delivers in a sweet, lovable, and good natured story. I love small towns! I love romance!!!

Great story

Great story about friends and family with some romance thrown in. I hope there are more in the series

loved the themes

loved all the great ideas the came up with for weddings and how the mother was using her own past to raise her daughter I wonder how many people do that.

A beautiful book that allows you to believe in lov

This bòoķ inspires you to believe that all is worth living and loving for ever

Lots of inner dialogue

I loved that this book was full of strong female characters doing wonderful things with their lives. Also, that the men respected them and did not attempt to dominate anyone. The thing I did not like so much was the amount of inner dialogue that the main character went through for every decision. It felt like there was ten minutes of mental chatter before any action, which became tiresome over time. For example things like I wanted to tell him what I thought but I couldn't, could I? If I did, then blah, blah, blah yet if I did not then blah, blah, blah. Meantime he is standing there staring at her. It would have been great to have a bit more action.
Other than that, this was a fun read and I loved Susan's creative flair. The characters were all believable and I loved the plot of a wedding planner that thought outside the box.
