4.5*
Following a traumatic experience, wedding planner Adrielle
Pyper has relocated to Sun Valley, Idaho and is busy establishing her fledgling
business with the help of her friend Lorea.
They have already managed to land two celebrity clients – one a
sweetheart and the other a bridezilla. A
shipment of speciality wedding dresses imported from China is vandalised and
soon Adri and Lorea have a whole host of problems on their hands. Adri’s aren’t limited to her wedding business
alone though, as she has two men vying for her attention. Shy waiter and realtor Dallas Reynolds is
determined to take her on as many dates as she’ll allow him, but she also keeps
crossing paths with the gorgeous Luke Stetson.
There is never a quiet moment in Adri’s life!
This first book in the Wedding Planner Mysteries series
comes highly recommended to lovers of the cozy mystery genre. Ms Christensen tells an enjoyable story with
an easy-to-read writing style. She
constructs her tale well with a good balance between the details of wedding
planning, the mystery, and Adri’s personal life. The characters are well-defined and likeable
(well, the ones that are supposed to be) and there is plenty to keep a reader's interest. What was the trauma that
happened to Adri before the start of the book?
Which of the two men will win Adri’s heart? And, of course, who is behind the attacks on
Adri’s business? To add the icing to the
(wedding) cake, readers are also treated to a craft idea or recipe at the start
of each chapter. What makes these unique
is that they come from an actual website run by “Adri and her mother”. Although the mystery is solved by the end of
the book, readers will doubtless want to continue to follow Adri’s story into
the next one.
