Kyle’s never forgotten Steph, and never forgiven himself for not finding the time to tell her how he felt for her. Now’s his chance. But has too much time passed? is it too late to tell her exactly how he feels about her?

Stephanie is maid of honour as her best friend marries Stephanie’s twin brother. After a motorcycle accident stopped the Best Man from being able to attend the wedding Stephanie is equally thrilled and horrified that her childhood friend, Kyle, is stepping in. After years of non-contact, she’s uncertain what, if anything, to say. After such a long time, can Stephanie and Kyle finally find their way together?

I found this to be a funny and remarkably sweet story. Full of humorous wedding shenanigans this lighthearted start is sure to appeal to many readers – Stephanie’s walk down the aisle is equal parts cringe-worthy embarrassment and hilarious. While a little clichéd – a part of me feels the author has taken a “best of” from everyone’s horror wedding stories – I feel it helps set the story up in a funny and amusing manner. I was particularly grateful for this happy, light-hearted beginning as the remainder of the story was a bit of a roller-coaster emotionally.

I was a little disappointed that Kyle and Stephanie’s relationship progressed with a few jumps forward in time. This made it harder for me to really feel connected to the strength and solidness of their romance. Instead of seeing their connection and watching them fall deeper in love together through shared experiences, these jumps made the story-line feel a bit choppy to me and their progress rushed. I knew they adored each other and had no question about their feelings, but a part of my love for reading romance is seeing and experiencing this, not just hurrying through the story itself. The ending as well felt particularly rushed to me – an awful lot happening in the last half dozen pages. It felt just a little too much like the author had a set plan of what they wanted done and hurried through it all. I feel the story would have been far stronger had a scene or two been removed and the scenes remaining been fleshed out more and given a bit more detail and attention.

With interesting characters and a lot of humour in the beginning, this is a good, solid story that I overall enjoyed. A few bumps along the way still left this being an enjoyable read.
