About this listen
Wedding planner Alex Haynes is left heartbroken and humiliated when his fiance leaves him at the altar. Too ashamed to show his face in Manhattan again, Alex flees for his upstate hometown and vows never to plan another wedding again. When his best friend announces her engagement, she begs him to reconsider his decision. Torn between his duty as BFF and his newly acquired cynicism for love, Alex reluctantly agrees. Little does he know that by agreeing to do so, he's also agreeing to work with his high school bully, Hank Morrison.
Once a college football star heading for greatness, Hank Morrison now runs the inn he inherited from his aunt in the small town of Redwood. The problem is, his aunt's beloved inn isn't getting business, and with the bank threatening repossession, Hank needs to come up with a way to acquire money fast. When his high school nemesis and first love interest, Alex, shows up wanting to plan a wedding at the inn, he can't turn down the kind of money on offer. Even if it means having to deal with the uptight wedding planner who always thought he was too good for him.
Contains mature themes.

Hart warming and easy to listen to
Alex is a bit annoying and judgmental at first but he chills out
Nothing to warn you about except for non graphic emotional abuse in a past relationship it’s not talked about a lot in the book definitely not as much as it should be I think but yeah
On the whole an enjoyable read

A sweet small-town romance!
When NY wedding planner Alex Haynes is jilted at the altar, he heads back to his hometown of Redwood to lick his wounds and wallow. His best friend cajoles him into planning one more wedding and Alex soon finds himself dealing with someone who picked on him for being gay in high school. With his football career behind him, Hank Morrison has also returned to Redwood to run his dead aunt’s hotel. Closeted in high school, Hank regrets how Alex was treated. An uneasy truce leads to the two men collaborating on the wedding and feelings are (re)kindled. I liked this a lot. Both men have been treated badly by life, are tentative with their trust, and are easily hurt by the other, but they soldier on. The story could have easily been wound up about half-way through and I would have been satisfied but the backstories are elaborate and their aftershocks play out over the second half of the story, providing a richer experience. Despite the hurt / comfort, the book is not heavy or depressing, there are a few fun moments and plenty of sweet ones. Marc Bachman narrates the audiobook well (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).
