About the book:
Wedding Planner Rule #1: Never, ever fall for the groom
There’s nothing Jenna Bell loves more than a happily-ever-after. That’s why being a wedding planner is her dream job – until the groom is Logan Gallagher. She’s had a crush on him since . . . well, forever. And now she has to make his day magical as he walks down the aisle without her.
As a secret service agent, Logan’s already married – to his career. A wife was never in his plan, until he finds out he needs to marry the woman he’s been protecting. He takes his latest assignment in stride, but when he sees Jenna again, he can’t deny the attraction sparking between them. Can he really say “I do” if it means saying goodbye to the woman of his dreams?
Sandpiper Shore by Debbie Mason is the sixth book in the Harmony Harbor contemporary romance series. Each book in the series features a separate couple so they are fine to read as a standalone. There are however glimpses with previous characters involved for fans that follow the whole series.
Jenna Bell is a wedding planner that believes she’s also a bit psychic and can see when a couple is a perfect match and that is what makes her good at her job. However, Jenna herself never expected her own fiance to dump her right before their wedding and when she runs off in her wedding dress and almost gets herself hit by a car Logan Gallagher comes to her rescue.
Jilted and upset Jenna turns to Logan for comfort after which she hopes that one night can turn into so much more. However, with danger following her over returning a wedding ring and Logan also being pushed into things from his family there is a lot of things for them to overcome.
Having read other books from Debbie Mason I am familiar with her style of writing and already a fan. Instead of characters just meeting and falling in love again in this story there is plenty of action and adventure between the pair and those surrounding them. However, some things in this one seemed to just go a bit over the top and I had a bit of trouble believing everything being tossed at them leaving me to rate this installment of the series at 3.5 stars.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

I keep telling everyone all it is really is just listening to them all the time. Doing audio allows me to “read” while doing everything else, cooking, cleaning, etc etc.

I want to insert myself right into the cover photo. LOL And I will say as an animal lover I couldn’t help but love the fact that the main character rescues a baby sandpiper and nurses it back to health….some good old oohing and ahhing. 🙂

I enjoy beach stories and it is nice that this series can be read as a standalone. This one sounds like a nice second chance story.

She’s definitely an author to look out for, a lot going on in the books besides just two people meeting. 🙂

That always adds more dimension and makes a story more interesting. I have seen her name around, but never read anything yet. Maybe this would be a good one to try.

I’ve only read a couple so far. My favorite of those was Miracle at Christmas from the Christmas, Colorado series but of course it’s the wrong time of the year for Christmas reads. 🙂
