Summary:

In Happily Inc, love means never having to say “I do” …

Wedding coordinator Renee Grothen isn’t meant for marriage. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, plan. But she never could have planned on gorgeous, talented thriller writer Jasper Dembenski proposing—a fling, that is. Fun without a future. And the attraction between them is too strong for Renee to resist. Now she can have her no-wedding cake…and eat it, too.

After years in the military, Jasper is convinced he’s too damaged for relationships. So a flirtation—and more—with fiery, determined Renee is way too good to pass up…until his flame becomes his muse.

Renee is an expert at averting every crisis. But is she finally ready to leap into the one thing that can never be controlled: love? 

My Thoughts:

I had a hard time getting into this book. maybe it was because I didn’t read the first 4? I’m unsure.

Renee has been hurt way too many times that now she is avoiding it so that she doesn’t get hurt again.

Jasper is a veteran that has seen many horrific things in his deployment, due to that he is haunted by the memories.

I did like Jasper an Renee but I felt like something was missing. I did want to DNF this a few times, but I wanted to be able to finish the book an give it my honest review. That being said… I feel like this book for me personally could have been a lot better. I only kept reading because I wanted to know if there was going to be a HEA and even that was disappointing.
