This is disappointing. I'm enjoying this series, and I'm enjoying the Lanyon contributions most...until now. I really liked the characters and wanted the story. This wasn't a story. It was a prequel or an extended prologue, at best. It's the meet-cute without the cute because history. Dirty, messy history. And we don't get to see all of it. In fact, the extent of the history is murky at the beginning, it seems awful, and then it's what unites them in the end? No. There's not a "the end" for this story. It's just an ellipsis that will never conclude. I'm frustrated by this self-contained non-story. This is the perfect example of why it took me many stories to find my fangirl-itis for this author's style. I'm invested in the characters and poof. They're gone. I enjoy reading Josh Lanyon's work. I feel like it is a guarantee that the storyline won't turn out to be a crappy one - you know, one with weak storyline, or immediate sex. With Lanyon, there is a nice flow of the storyline.. and the characters.. interesting how Lanyon gets us to be interested in his characters.When I first started reading Other People's Wedding, I thought I was reading something different. No more murder. No more detective story. No more guy and guy-in-law-enforcement storyline. I even thought he was producing a male version of any Kinsella's work, minus the humor. And then, Hammer came along, and I felt I was reading almost a recycled work. Hard to be harsh on Lanyon since that I find his work to be above average too often.I still like this novella. I think it is cute to be trapped in the world of a wedding planner and to see the commotion in this heartless job. I think Lanyon got it right, but then again, how should I know.. I am not married and never get any wedding planner to be in trouble with me before.. I just adore Lanyon's work.
Do You like book Other People's Weddings (2010)?
I enjoyed the irony in this one. Just desserts, so to speak (((smiles)))

The story ends before the destined couple romance kicks off.
