Wedding coordinator Renee Grothen isn’t meant for marriage. Those who
can, do. Those who can’t, plan. But she never could have planned on
gorgeous, talented thriller writer Jasper Dembenski proposing—a fling,
that is. Fun without a future. And the attraction between them is too
strong for Renee to resist. Now she can have her no-wedding cake…and eat
it, too.
After years in the military, Jasper is convinced he’s too damaged for relationships. So a flirtation—and more—with fiery, determined Renee is way too good to pass up…until his flame becomes his muse.
Renee is an expert at averting every crisis. But is she finally ready to leap into the one thing that can never be controlled: love?

Review: A few pages into this book I was thinking it was going to be my favorite in all the series so far.
But...halfway through the story things changed. First, Jasper turns out to be a writer that expects everyone else to write a book for him. He literally has no idea about what he wants to write about and how to write it, and keeps asking other people for ideas. And second, by the time Renee's mother shows up (I loved her and her gift, by the way), the plot complicates so much it's confusing - there's even a secondary romance thrown in between - and I got literally lost.
I finished the book because I don't like to leave any book unfinished, but it was hard to get through, and I had lost most of the interest in it by that time.
Three stars for a great beginning and some interesting characters, but it's not a book I would actively recommend. If you've read the other books, you may want to get into this one just for the sake of keeping the story lines straight. If you haven't read the previous books, than I recommend you to do that first, as some of them are way better than this one.
