The Wedding Gift (Four Weddings and Fiasco Series - Book 1) (Four Weddings and a Fiasco)

This was a predictable story and I was disappointed in the story line.
Glad it was on kindle unlimited and I did not pay.
The plot and I'm sure the ones to follow is so similar to Nora Roberts wedding series, I'm surprised the
Author got away with it.
A group of woman running a wedding venue...sound familiar?

I enjoyed this story, and am looking forward to the other three in the series. I would have liked a little more background on the other characters. Although perhaps the next books in the series will cover these characters.

This book was easy reading and enjoyable and hard to put down. The author Lucy Kevin writes a moving book. It starts out as a wedding gift, but finishes up quite different. See what happens in the end.

Cute story about chefs falling in love but could've been a bit more spicy, lol. I couldn't help thinking that Nora Roberts had a very similar series about a wedding business. A good read regardless.

This story started out really, really good, but it sort of lost steam for me about 3/4 of the way through the story. I was just really getting into the story, when puff it took a bad turn and it never really got back on track, or at least it didn't for me anyway.

And another thing.... I don't know that if I were Julie, that I would have forgiven Andrew quite so easily as she did. After all....it was because of his unnecessary harsh review, that Julie ended up not only losing her restaurant, but her house and car, too. Basically... he'd ruined her whole life with his 2.5 star review, but why? It wasn't because the food wasn't good, because it was. No, it was because he wanted it too be a lot more than just that. But that's not what he had stated it in his write-up. He called it bland and tasteless, which was a complete lie. And then he proceeded to go on about her lack of business. Well you don't always have a booming business, especially when you're just starting out. That's something that usually builds over time, both by word of mouth and a lot of hard work. And I'd like to know who made him the God of all food anyway? Is his taste buds the only ones that count in that town?

And not only bad enough that he'd destroyed her life once already, but then he comes back and gets her fired again. How could she end up falling in love with someone like that? I just don't get it at all.

And I was really disappointed in the epilogue. Why even write an epilogue for a story, when it has nothing to do with the two main characters in the story? The only thing the epilogue even mentioned about the the two main characters, were that they looked so happy and in love, while they were dancing on the dance floor. WTH?? If you're going to include an epilogue at the end of the story, you'd better at least mention more about the main characters then they looked happy dancing, or there will be a whole lot of readers who will be really upset!

Would I recommend this book? No.
