Description
Sculptor Nick Mitchell grew up in a family of artists and learned from his volatile father that passion only leads to pain. As he waits on a new commission, he takes a day job as a humble carpenter at a theme wedding venue. The job has its perks—mainly the venue’s captivating owner, Pallas Saunders. Although he won’t let love consume him, for ecstasy with an expiration date, he’s all in.
Pallas adores Weddings in a Box. But if she can’t turn the floundering business around, she’ll have no choice but to cave to her domineering mother and trade taffeta for trust funds working at the family’s bank. Then when a desperate bride begs Pallas for something completely out of the box, her irresistible new hire inspires her. Nick knows she doesn’t belong behind a desk, and she knows in her heart that he’s right—where she really belongs is in his arms.

3.5 I was looking for a cosy read and this is why I started with "You say it first". The setting was absolutely wonderful and felt very homey. I also liked the agency which is fulfilling unique wedding dreams. The creativity the characters, but also the author, put into these weddings was really amazing and I enjoyed it a lot. The story itself was really sweet but I couldn't really feel the chemistry between Pallas and Nick. Their kisses came pretty much out of nothing and felt rather forced to me, as I missed some flirting and bantering beforehand. Generally I liked the main characters but they remained rather distant to me and I didn't have the feeling I got to know them properly. The book was really sweet but all in all it lacked a bit in the romance part.
