About this item
Joe Bagshaw doesn’t believe in love or marriage anymore, which is rather a hindrance for a wedding planner.
His own marriage was a whirlwind affair that ended before the ink could dry on the wedding certificate. Nevertheless, even with his divorce pending, he’s getting by. Or at least he was until he finds himself snowed in at a remote Scottish hotel with the wedding party from hell, a terrible ABBA tribute band, and his soon-to-be ex-husband.
Lachlan has missed Joe from the second his husband walked away. He wants Joe back and is prepared to do anything to get him. Being snowed in together seems to offer the chance Lachlan needs, but does he have what it takes to get Joe to trust in love and their marriage again?
From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a romantic comedy about love, matrimony, and the best of second chances.
This is the first book in the Confetti Hitched series.

This was a good story. I love Joe's character and the fact that he was a wedding planner. I was hoping his story would be a bit more to it than there was. I did enjoy all the characters. I'll have to check the authors' other stories as well.
Joe is a wedding planner and darn good at his job. He has to deal with some interesting people with job. He's also at a very down point with his marriage to Lachlan. He saw something, and it broke something in him.
Lachlan is older and focused on his job. He put it first instead of Joe, and it's now not what he wants.
These two are at a pivotal part of their lives. They need to get real with one another and get to know one another on a personal level.
This is not your normal romance book, it digs deep into the feels and creates a beautiful love story. I seriously loved how mature the characters acted and how they realized what went wrong with them at the beginning. They knew what they needed to do and worked on making it better. Oh and actually saying the three little words to one another (I love you).
The side characters were amusing in different ways. And I’m hoping Joe’s friend Rafferty gets a book, but I am pretty sure his boss, Jed, is, and I can’t wait.
The theme of this book is 'not communicating with each other' paired with breadcrumbing revelations. This story has the means to be something more, but, for example, when they're playing truth or dare, that should've had more meat to it, it was only one question which Lachlan gave kind of a non-answer to (his ongoing theme in the book), cut short by more nonsense.
I also skipped the prologue, because I remembered i didn't like it's placement in the book. By my second read, it was like reading it for the first time, because i largely forgot most of it. This was a good choice. I went back to read the prologue in Between the past and present sections of the book, and it fits a lot better.
Reading the prologue first in my first reading made me hate Lachlan too much to even want to get to know him. But he only has like maybe three moments from his pov. Not saying it should be 50/50, but we need more from him. I do feel like Joe got swept up in his hormones as much the second time around as he did in his initial meetings of Lachlan, forgiving him too quickly, when Lachlan was still rather bad at being forthright by the end of the story.
In my first reading, i gave this a 2/5, but I'm upping it to 3/5, because it's readable, just a bit too frustrating at times, leaving the reader wanting to hop in the drivers seat a bit too much.
