Dakota Halifax loves to be in love. In fact, as one of Las Vegas’s premier wedding planners, she’s built a whole career around romance. Which is why her own wedding has to be nothing short of perfect. And then her fiancé jilts her. While she’s waiting in her wedding dress. On a cruise ship already out at sea.Once back on dry land, Dakota tries to pour her heart into her business and weekly wedding advice column, Get Ready to Wed. But how can the heartbroken celebrate others’ true love? When she reconnects with her childhood best friend, surprisingly sexy and all-grown-up casino bouncer Brendan West, Dakota wonders if maybe she can fall back in love with being in love.

But then her ex reappears, begging for another chance, and suddenly Dakota questions if she’ll ever understand love. Can someone once-burned and twice-shy ever find her way down the aisle again?

Kassiah: Cindi Madsen writes one of my favorite books (Cinderella Screwed Me Over), so I couldn’t wait to get my ::grabbyhands:: on this one.

After Dakota was left at the altar, she thinks she’s done with love. Her job makes that a little difficult when she’s surrounded by couples headed toward their forevers. When her former best friend, Brendan, strolls into town being all swoony and amazing, Dakota’s heart starts mending. I love BFFs to more and second-chance romances, and Ready to Wed brings the two together with heart. Brendan is so sweet and Dakota was okay (lol, you knew I’d feel that way). You might think this is a love-triangle story, and though it is, it’s light and not too angsty. The characters are fun and the romance is sweet. If you’re looking for a fast read with a couple you’ll be rooting for, definitely give Ready to Wed a try.
