About the book:
Curvy wedding florist Elly Jordan has had quite a year. First, she had to design her ex-husband’s wedding to the mistress who split them up, and then she broke up with the hottest musician this side of St. Louis. Three months have passed since then, and now Elly is primed for what promises to be the best wedding season of her life. Helped by her loyal friends, Elly is on the verge of opening a chic flower boutique uptown when BlissBride, a popular wedding reality show, asks her to design the wedding of a famous—make that infamous celebrity. Elly is about to get everything she’s ever wanted, when a stranger shows up at her store with a request that changes every aspect of her life–including her budding relationship with deli owner Keith. As she struggles to stay calm in the midst of growing chaos, Elly will learn the true meaning of love and sacrifices.
My Review:
This was my first time reading this series even though this is the second book (I had no problem following along and jumping right into the story). This was a quick fun read and I just love Elly!!! She is so much fun and I often found myself laughing out loud. She has just the right amount of sarcasm and humor. I love her character and feel like she is someone I have known for years. I would love to just grab a cup of coffee and sit with her while she works her magic on her flowers. I can't wait for the next book in this series and I'll have to go back and read the first one!
