Synopsis:

Liza DeLane is the hottest event planner in Dallas. That is, until her biggest client manipulates her into planning an event that could ruin her reputation on the Dallas A-list—puppy nuptials for his wife’s prized pugs.

Forced to plan the canine wedding, Liza finds one sexy perk to the job—Blake Dean, her client’s son. Blake worms his way under her businesswoman exterior, in more ways that one, and challenges her legendary need for control.

Liza has to make a decision. Continue working her life away, hiding behind expensive suits and watching the other half live—or let go of her insecurities about a humble past and take a chance with a sexy millionaire in a cowboy hat.
 


 

SRR GRADE: A+
 

What's a girl supposed to do when she's commanded by her best client to put together a wedding? And not just any wedding, but a wedding for his wife's prize pug? Why, put together the best Texas-sized wedding the area of Dallas-Fort Worth has ever seen, of course! And that is exactly what Liza DeLane does.

What she doesn't plan on is a tall, dark and equally Texan sized complication in the form of her hosts' son Blake Dean. Blake has lusted after Liza for some time, and sees this little wedding as his perfect opportunity to coral and rope his little filly now that he has her exactly where he wants her – or so he thinks. Unfortunately, Liza has abandonment issues they both have to sort through before a relationship can work. Luckily for us, Blake takes care of his end with sensitivity and a little hands on manipulation, everything a heroine and her reader could hope for.

My only objection to this story was the length, by its conclusion I was so wrapped up in Liza and Blake's lives I didn't want the story to end! As the secondary characters were just as much fun as our hero and heroine, maybe Ms. Freeman will write a story for Becky or the Dean parents and we'll find out what happened to Liza and Blake….
