In Kelly’s [b:Play with Me|7465633|Play with Me|Leslie Kelly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1262331891l/7465633._SY75_.jpg|9539764], we got the story of how Amanda and Reese met and fell in love. With this book, we once again meet up with Amanda and Reese – this time at their wedding – where we get three stories about people attending their wedding and finding their own happily ever afters.
You don’t need to have read [b:Play with Me|7465633|Play with Me|Leslie Kelly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1262331891l/7465633._SY75_.jpg|9539764] to enjoy and understand this anthology as I don’t remember any of the couples even appearing in that book.
First Kiss
Bonnie Campbell is sick fed up with always being a good girl and even more so now that she realises everyone thinks of her as practically a virgin. So she’s determined to make the most of the wedding reception and all the hot men. But first she has to tell off hot movie superstar, Drew Erikson, who has managed to snag the honeymoon suite out from under the newly married couple.
This was a sweet and surprisingly believable story that I really enjoyed. Both Bonnie and Drew were likeable and non-stereotypical characters and I liked their happy ending.
Halfway There
Jocelyn “Jazz” Wilkes had never been shy and had left a string of broken hearts in her wake. But her colleague, Blake Marshall, didn’t seem to be the same type as her normal guy. So why is he always in her thoughts? And why does he make her want to give up her single life and settle down? With him.
This was another great story that just oozed with chemistry between the main characters. I liked the fact that the characters had been dancing around each other for weeks and the wedding was the culmination of their feelings – even if they don’t want to admit them to each other!
Last Call
All Abby Bauer wants is a man who she can have a passionate relationship with. Unfortunately for her, despite how much she loves him, it seems that that man is not Keith Manning – her fiancé. Keith is astounded when Abby dumps him but he’s determined not to let her get away and is determined to prove he’s man enough for her.
I adored this story. It was a mixture of sweet and sexy with enough emotion packed in to make it really enjoyable. For me, I could have read this story over and over and never got bored. In fact, since reading this story the first time, I’ve gone back many a time to re-read this little gem.
Kelly did a similar thing with her books [b:Overexposed|1767237|Overexposed (The Bad Girls Club)|Leslie Kelly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1187984367l/1767237._SY75_.jpg|1765327] and [b:One Wild Wedding Night|1707326|One Wild Wedding Night (Santori Stories, #6)|Leslie Kelly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1255879879l/1707326._SY75_.jpg|1704492], where we get a large story and then three associated ones. And it works just as well second time round. If you’re looking for short, sexy snippets then I would recommend this as the perfect example of Blaze romance and a book I really enjoyed. 5 stars.
