4 1/2 STARS!
In this fourth book of her “The Business of Weddings” series, Tara Randel lands us smack dab in the middle of an action packed adventure! There’s romance, there’s deceit, there’s family drama, there’s criminal activity … what more could we want? 🙂
Florist Kady Lawrence is in it to win it at this years bridal bouquet competition at the florist’s convention! She’s got to save The Lavish Lily which has been in her family for generations, but to do so, she has to prove that she’s capable of reinventing the shop with her wedding designs.
Dylan Matthews is an undercover DEA agent with the pretense of helping out his Mom at the convention in order to scope out the area around Cypress Pointe, FL because they have intel that the drug dealer they’ve been after for awhile now is in the area.
He doesn’t intend to meet someone and fall for them while he’s there, but that’s what happens when Kady crosses his path. Only she doesn’t know that he’s undercover, and she also is in for a surprise in that he’s the son of her biggest competition for the prized bouquet title!

Nealy Grainger knew that returning to Cypress Pointe meant an inevitable encounter with her teenage crush, and momentary husband, Dane Peterson. She could handle it.

Now one of L.A.’s most in-demand celebrity event planners, Nealy’s only come back for a vacation and to help with her sister’s wedding—not for a reunion with her long-lost love. But the more their paths cross, the more the sparks fly! Maybe their connection isn’t over just yet….,
