What started as a whim
turned into an accidental – and very public – engagement. Can Layla and Seth
keep up the façade in Chapel Springs this holiday season – for the sake of her
career… and his heart?
Under normal circumstances, Seth Murphy – the best friend of
Layla O’Reilly’s ex-fiancé – would be the last person she’d marry. But the news
of their upcoming (and phony) nuptials convinces a big client that Layla may be
high-society enough to work for his agency – a coup that would put her
fledgling home-staging business on the map. Seth has secretly loved Layla for
years, even when she was dating his best friend. Maybe she’ll never forgive him
for the way he hurt her back then, but he has to try. And Layla is willing to
keep up their engagement farce until she’s landed her client. For Layla, it’s
the chance to save her career. But for Seth, it’s his last chance to win her
heart.
As the first installment of A Year of Weddings, Denise Hunter’s “A December Bride” starts the
series off right. A story beginning with an engagement of convenience and ending
with a happily ever after always delights me and I couldn’t stop reading until
I reached the end. A quick and easy holiday read, this novella still offers
intricate characters and situations that compelled me to continue reading. Like
with other novellas in this collection, “A December Bride” can be read on its
own or out of collection order, and again, I would recommend it to anyone with
an interest in inspirational romance, looking for a quick afternoon read. As
usual, I thank BookLook Bloggers (formerly BookSneeze) for providing me with a
free copy of this book and the opportunity to honestly review it. I was not
required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are
my own. (I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s
