Wedding planner Tyler Warren left heartbreak behind when she ran away
from her small Southern hometown and started a new life in a big city. Years
later, she wants to believe in the fairy-tale endings her job promotes, but the
clients she meets day after day seem to be more “Crazily Ever After” than
“Happily Ever After.”
Meanwhile,
her own attempts at romance play out as bizarre comedies rather than love
stories, and she’s starting to think Prince Charming either fell off his horse
or got eaten by a dragon. When unresolved issues from Tyler’s past complicate
things even further, she discovers she may yet have some things to figure out
before she can find her own happy ending.
This
delightful first book in the Tales Behind the Veils series chronicles Tyler’s
wacky misadventures, both personal and professional. Whether she’s getting
insane requests from brides or outlandish requests on dates, you’re sure to be
charmed and entertained by the Diary of a Single Wedding Planner.
EXCERPT:
I laughed at Mel and cringed at the memory she
referred to. I was probably sixteen at the time, and my mother’s best friend
had insisted I go out with her nephew. Doris described Sammy as a “long, tall,
good-lookin’ drink of water.” She would drawl out long and tall into pretty
much two-syllable words and then rush through good-lookin’ drink of water like
she was running out of oxygen.
He was tall alright, but evidently Doris and I have
vastly differing opinions on what constitutes good-lookin’. Of course, it
didn’t help that he showed up barefoot to take me out to dinner. I opened the
door in my brand-new dress to greet a scrawny giant of a boy wearing a
rebel-flag tank top, a pair of cut-off denim shorts, and no shoes.
He smiled down at me, revealing a large gap of two
to three teeth missing on the bottom and a couple of top teeth ready to jump
ship at any moment.
I decided right then and there I’d need to see
someone up close and in person before I ever let anyone set me up on a date.
