To Have and to Scold

 About the Book: 

Dallas Olivia Cardon is moments away from being crowned senior wedding planner at the big-city firm of her dreams when a misunderstanding leads to her getting fired.

Rushing off to lick her wounds at her new job in Willow Cove, Dallas figures a few months on the beach couldn’t hurt as she tries to rebuild her portfolio and her reputation. She even meets a hot, flirty guy on her very first day in town. Maybe this temporary position might actually be a little enjoyable?

Maybe not.

Beck Billingsly is Willow Cove’s most eligible bachelor, but he’s not interested in settling down. His past has taught him that commitment equals heartbreak. He only wants to run his hometown construction company, serve the people he grew up idolizing, and play too much beach volleyball.

So when a case of mistaken identity ends up putting him at odds with the new event planner, he finds her no-nonsense, git ‘er done personality frustrating.

Unfortunately, they have to figure out how to build a seaside event center for the wedding of the year without killing each other. Even more unfortunately, their verbal spars leave him wanting more, and he cannot get her out of his head.

It just may be impossible for him to let her go.

My Review: 

You are sure to love and laugh with the opening of this book. Prince Harry, the llama, once again escapes his enclosure and greets newcomer, Dallas Cardon, to Willow Cove. Dallas is here to redeem her reputation as a wedding planner after her huge wedding cake mixup in Atlanta. This small coastal town with all of its amazing people is just what Dallas needs gain back her confidence.

Beck Billingsley has been hurt in his last relationship and is not looking to start again. But, when Dallas has to work with him and his construction company on the new wedding venue, it’s going to be hard to hold to his resolve. As the deadline approaches for the mansion to be completed and the first wedding scheduled, Beck and Dallas find their relationship growing and developing in ways neither one of them expected.

This is the third book in the Sweet Coastal Kisses series. It can be read as a standalone, but you'll enjoy reading the other books. There are characters from the other two books that are in this story, and it's nice, but not necessary, to know their backstory.

I voluntarily reviewed this complimentary copy of the book. All views are my opinion in which I was not required to write a review.
