We first met Joe and his...opinions on marriage in Lily Morton's "Vow Maker" (the forth installment in her Mixed Messaged series). Now he has his very own book! "Confetti Hearts!!!" It's the first novel in her new Confetti Hitched series.
["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?"]
I had reservations about starting this book because some of the reviews on GoodReads about Lachlan. Yes, he wasn't there; yes, he wasn't putting his all in; yes, he made mistakes. But. So. Did. Joe. Joe didn't talk about his reservations or his insecurities or how Lachlan could be better for Joe (or how he could be better for Lachlan). Had to get that out there.
ANYway! This book was fucking fabulous. As was Joe. Lachlan? He was a broody, angsty beef of a man who had nothing more to loose. Joe? He had a lot to loose...than again, he had so much more to gain.
They were perfect for each other; they just...did a few things backwards.
I can't WAIT for the rest of the series. These men need all of their happily ever afters.
