From This Day Forward (The Wedding Belles 0.5), by Lauren Layne

5 What a start to a new series stars!!!

wow… I think I might be slightly speechless after reading this novella!! I cannot understand how an author can pack such a punch in a novella?? I have to say bravo Mrs. Layne!  I am super excited to start this new series by Lauren Layne now. The covers for this new series are gorgeous. All of the covers have beautiful pictures of brides on them.

Leah is a great photographer, she barely has a free moment in between weddings and events. She is very good friends with the ladies at The Wedding Belles event planning company.  They call on her  to assist with a really big wedding, however they tend to leave out one small detail. That small detail would be the man who broke her heart into a thousand pieces being her co-worker that day.

After being left by Leah without  hearing him out Jason is not looking forward to working with her over a long weekend. However after he sees her Jason decides to try his hand at maybe winning her back.  If she doesn’t run away again… or break his heart again.

I realize some die hard LL fans are not a fan of her new writing style or little changes she has made with her “saucy” scenes.  I stand behind her on any change she would like to make in her writing.  She is an excellent writer and like any person she cannot stay stagnant she must grow and spread her wings more and more.  Whether she decides to go back to how she was writing before or stay in this niche I will stay an LL fan forever.

Thank you Netgalley for my ARC copy of this ebook for my honest review.

Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in this prequel to USA TODAY bestselling author Lauren Layne’s The Wedding Belles series about three high-powered New York City women who can plan any wedding—but their own.

Up-and-coming wedding photographer Leah McHale’s career is on the rise–thanks in no small part to the Wedding Belles, the elite New York wedding planning agency that always throws top-tier business Leah’s way. So when one of the Belles asks Leah to fill in at the former First Daughter’s wedding, Leah is overjoyed to say yes–until she finds out who she’ll be working with.

Jason Rhodes is the one man who was able to capture Leah’s heart and, once he had it, promptly stepped all over it and left her broken. Now he’s working side-by-side with her at the biggest wedding of the season and Leah is determined to give him the cold shoulder. Despite his persistence, she is not going to fall for his charming, impish ways again. Not even if he still has that killer, irresistible smile…
