This steamy romcom is my second book in the LBT Summer Extravaganza. I read this book last year, but with the third one coming out soon a refresh is always nice – and it’s a great summer, beach read!

Stella Price thought she had her life all planned out, until it exploded in front of her. Desperate for a fresh start, she picks up her old camera and dives into the challenging world of wedding photography. But with fierce competition and a fast-approaching deadline, Stella is in danger of failing yet again.
That is, until she meets Connor Knight, the renowned wedding photographer with a reputation for being the best in the business. He’s talented, arrogant, and undeniably attractive, but Stella can’t stand him. However, when Connor becomes her mentor, she’s forced to confront her preconceived opinions and work alongside him.
As they clash and push each other’s buttons, a passionate spark ignites between them. But with Connor’s cynical views on love and Stella’s past mistakes, can they find a way to make it work? Or will their explosive chemistry fizzle out before they can capture their own happily ever after?

My Thoughts
This was a steamy, slow-burn with a deep dive into the UK wedding photography industry. And it kept me turning pages and yelling at the main characters throughout.
Check out my thoughts in my original review from my first reading last year.
Who’s It For?
If you’re up for a slow-burn dappled with steamy scenes, this is the perfect book for you. You’ll get an in-depth view of the UK wedding photography industry, and several side stories that are equally enjoyable.

She started a wedding photography business which received some great PR when her own Dirty Dancing-themed wedding dance went viral on YouTube. She appeared on Richard & Judy and The Oprah Winfrey Show, where she danced with Patrick Swayze. In 2009 she opened a luxury portrait studio and has photographed everyone from the Queen to Queen, the band. After 15 years as a photographer, she returned to her first love: writing.
