This is book 2 of this amazing series. The author has done another outstanding job with her writing. Lance, Imani, and Melody are still trying to deal with the aftereffects of the trauma and the choices they make in their life. I found the story to feel truly realistic and original. You can feel your own heart palpitating at some of the action in the book. At some times, you feel the angst or other feelings that they go through. The plot is well-written, with even a few twists thrown in. I found the characters relatable. I was engrossed in the story right from the start. I cannot wait to start book 3. Well, done!

Raye – Review by Shelly Kittell
What a beautiful love story. Kellie and Harrison were torn apart when they were younger but due to circumstances were brought together for a fake wedding. I found the storyline of second chances very endearing because they really needed one. Everything seemed to be a challenge working again them but they worked hard at it. Seeing the family work together was heartwarming. The characters were very touching and well-developed. My favorite part was a reunion between her and her dad. A quick read that will touch your heart. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

As the event coordinator for a Vegas hotel, I’m in charge of planning a celebrity wedding meant to showcase our venue as the ultimate dream destination in the marriage capital of the world. The bride is an up-and-coming swimsuit model, and the groom is Harrison Hayes, the golden guy of golf. There’s just one problem: Harrison and I have history. We were high school sweethearts and my dad was his mentor and coach. When it became clear Harrison had a bright future in the sport, he left me and our small town behind. Now I have no choice but to set my conflicted feelings aside, because if this wedding doesn’t go off without a hitch, my career in hospitality management is over.
Harrison
When my publicity team tells me I need to get married to improve my image, they hand me a plan for a highly-publicized Vegas wedding, complete with a bride of their choosing. There’s just one problem: the venue’s event coordinator is the one who should be standing next to me at the altar. Even though it would please tour sponsors and land me lucrative endorsement deals, I can’t go through with a sham wedding. Unfortunately, Kellie’s job is on the line, and I’m not going to let her down a second time. Can I convince the only girl I’ve ever loved to stand in as the bride for appearances’ sake? And more importantly, after the publicity photos are taken, will I be able to prove to her that my love is real?

This was my first book by Natalina Reis, as well as an age gap where the woman is older. I assumed this book would be very cheesy from reading the description but found out during the first few pages it’s very natural. Ivory Tower’s skepticism with love is very relatable and doesn’t seem forced or cliche. While reading the book at first I did think it was a little weird that the author repeated the character’s full name like “Li Quang” and “Amber Lee” consistently, but I found it helped the characters stick in my head. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author.
