#BlogBlitz Wedding Vows and Cornish Ribbons by Laura Briggs

 

Today it's the Blog Blitz for Wedding Vows and Cornish Ribbons by Laura Briggs.

About the Author

Laura Briggs is the author of several feel-good romance reads, including the Top 100 Amazon UK seller 'A Wedding in Cornwall'. She has a fondness for vintage style dresses (especially ones with polka dots), and reads everything from Jane Austen to modern day mysteries. When she's not writing, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to church, caring for her pets, gardening, and seeing the occasional movie or play.

About the book

Event planner Julianne Rose is on the verge of making her dreams of ‘rescuing’ weddings in need of help a reality. She and business partner Kitty have finally finished transforming the dilapidated barn into a chic event space, and they even have a new client eager to use it—a quirky, charming space organization guru named Deirdre who seems capable of organizing everything but her own special day. As if that wasn’t enough, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity soon presents itself through the who’s who of their sleepy little Cornish village: the chance to step into the event planning void for a posh bride in desperate need of an emergency salvage for her wedding plans. A wedding that could establish Julianne and Kitty as two of Cornwall’s best event planners if all goes well.

But an event that big doesn’t come without a catch. To persuade the posh clients to commit to them, Julianne and Kitty must first impress them with the ceremony for their current bride-to-be—a task that seemed easy, but proves complicated when stories emerge involving a history of broken engagements, cold feet, and commitment phobia on the part of Deirdre, who soon begins to exhibit possible symptoms of nervousness regarding her big day. Faced with a real case of runaway bride—and with their future reputation at stake— they must attempt to the impossible task of holding together a wedding fraying at its seams, and Julianne finds herself seemingly facing a choice between what’s best for Save the Date’s survival and what’s best for her client’s happiness, regardless of the cost.

Are Julianne’s worst fears about to be realized, with Deirdre gearing up for yet another run from the church altar? Can she persuade the posh but sympathetic bride Alexi to take a risk on Save the Date regardless of it? And will Julianne and the handsome-but-equally-busy Matt find time to smolder anything in their marriage besides leftover chicken pie? Readers will learn these answers and more in the funny and heartfelt sequel to the first full-length titular novel Return to Cornwall .


Review

This is the full-length sequel to A Wedding in Cornwall, when Julianne found the perfect career and a devastatingly handsome partner to boot. Now many years and a few kids later, with a brand new career venture we return to the life Julianne has carved out for herself in the little Cornish village.

Julianne and Kitty need to throw the kind of wedding event that makes people sit up and take notice to keep their dream kicking and alive. A bride in need of a quick emergency and yet terribly grand wedding is possibly their gateway to bigger clients. But hey It's Julianne, so if anything can go wrong it will go wrong, and that counts from food to the emotional needs of her clients.

Briggs gives readers a feel good read, escapism full of laughter, escapades, problems and memorable characters. Although it's fair to say that Matt and Julianne aren't exactly the way readers will remember them in the first book, you can still feel the fun, attraction and tension between them.

Where does Save the Date go next? Based on the ending we could be in for an interesting new story if Briggs decides to add to this series going forward.
