Book Description
Nevada Frida Baylor and Connor Ander Rogan cordially invite you to join their wedding celebration. Summoning, weather manipulation, and other magical activities strictly forbidden.
Catalina Baylor is looking forward to wearing her maid of honor dress and watching her older sister walk down the aisle. Then the wedding planner gets escorted off the premises, the bride’s priceless tiara disappears, and Rogan's extensive family overruns his mother’s home. Someone is cheating, someone is lying, and someone is plotting murder.
To make this wedding happen, Catalina will have to do the thing she fears most: use her magic. But she’s a Baylor and there’s nothing she wouldn't do for her sister's happiness. Nevada will have her fairy tale wedding, even if Catalina has to tear the mansion apart brick by brick to get it done.
My Review
I've never read this author before but a blogger buddy sent this book to me and I thought, why the heck not. I read series out of order all the time and this is a quick read, it should be fine.
First of all let me tell you that I did feel a little lost because I haven't read this series so I really didn't know who these characters were but I still read it.
Nevada is getting married and her sister, Catalina has to step in to make sure things go as planned and see if she can fix things that might make this a bad day. The groom's mother wants Catalina to locate a tiara she wants Nevada to wear at her wedding. But in order to find the missing tiara, Catalina will have to use her magic which she doesn't use because she's scared to.
There's quite a few interesting characters in this novella and I thought the story moved quite well for such a quick read. Now I'm gonna have to start this series and find out more about these characters.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Haha! You rebel you, Mary. Glad you enjoyed it and yes, definitely get the earlier stories for Connor and Nevada. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's me, rebel all the way. lol
DeleteGreat when the characters can suck you in, even when a little lost.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun story.
DeleteOh I envy you Mary and this hubby/wife author team is on my wish list. Great review
ReplyDeleteThanks. I need to read more from them now.
DeleteGreat review in our out of order!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYay! I am glad you enjoyed it. I do hope you get to read the other books in the series.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope so too.
DeleteI love this series so much!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it's a good one.
DeleteI should try this series again
ReplyDeleteI hope you do.
DeleteNice review
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI've heard a lot of good things about the Andrews books.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first book I've red from them.
DeleteI am so glad you loved this one, Mary. Such a great series!
ReplyDeleteI am too.
DeleteI can never read a series out of order as I don't get the full effect from knowing all the backstory! i love the colour on the cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm weird. I tend to do it all the time if I win a book.
DeleteLol, I love this series, the authors, all of it (you're probably aware of that!) but I can 100% understand why you'd feel a bit lost having not read the first three books. The world is so complex that no matter what the publisher spouts, I just dont think you can jump in without the background.
ReplyDeleteI read out of order so often. lol
DeleteThat's nice a blogger buddy sent this to you. Seems like it works best to read this series in order. It sounds like it was a fun read.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Ilona Andrews fan. They's pretty amazing people with great story telling abilities. I do see where this book would be harder if you're not familiar with the series. I hope you get more of their stories.
