Being a reader who loved Consumed, I found this extensive prologue unecessary. It starts the character development process and sets the tone for relationship dynamics and firefighter work ethic, but if you’ve already read Consumed you’ll likely find this pretty pointless.
100% for readers who are considering starting this series. Basically, if this prologue interests you in any way, you’ll likely enjoy the book. ...more

The Rehearsal Dinner
Besides writing about sexy vampires, J.R. Ward apparently can also write about sexy fire fighters.
I loved the beginning of Anne and Danny's story.

This was a quick and fun read. I really liked Anne and Danny and their connection. It was quite exciting and teasing, I love it!
I'm looking forward to Consumed. ...more

I guess I should have read the summary before starting this because if I had known what it was I would have waited for the 1st book in the series. With that said, I love the idea of this series and I know it's going to be great! This "prequel" is very different and kind of a build up for whats to come but I have to say.... HUGE CLIFFHANGER... like it just cuts off mid-sentence. I'll be impatiently waiting for Consumed and hoping its a full size book.

I listened to this prequel "novella" (more like short story) because I loved Consumed so much. It wasn't really necessary but I thought why not. Basically, we get to see in action the events that led to Danny and Anne first sleeping together, which is alluded to at the beginning of Consumed.
It was okay and the parts with Danny and Anne together were hot, I just wanted less with the helping a "prostitute" and her pimp, less of the philandering Deandra, and basically if you haven't read Consumed d ...more

This is basically a long prologue giving us background and history for the main characters of Consumed. After listening to this, I'm interested enough to want to see what happens with Anne & Danny. This is a 3 part setup and the 3rd part ends on a cliffhanger!
*see my tags
Update: After reading the main book, Consumed, I would recommend reading parts 1 & 2 of this prequel, but then skip part 3 and go straight into Consumed. Part 3 is basically part of the openi ...more

I started Consumed and felt a bit lost, so I back-tracked and listened to this one on Audible. It is a cute little story. My husband is a firefighter, so I know Moose cannot have a beard. LOL. But just like all of Ward's books, you want to know more about the couple! So onto Consumed. I've read the BDB series (twice) so it is interesting to hear the familiar elements of Ward in non-supernatural characters.

So now that I’ve gotten the back story to Consumed I feel like everything makes sense now. Still lost on why anyone would marry Deandre cause she is a complete bitch. But I guess Moose stepped into and couldn’t find his way out. I want tell you what goes down in Consumed but believe me you definitely need to read it to finish the story with Anne and Danny.
3.5 rounded up to 4. I would be willing to read Consumed, as this collection of short stories/novella/whatever was basically an introduction to see if it was worth spending time on. Of course, they included the start of the book with a definite "cliffhanger" end to entice people. Although I would survive without knowing, this seems to have potential, but the bar is not that high in the genre.

This was ok but I really felt like it was just a really long prologue. I guess that was the point. To set up this new series. It was ok but very predictable. I hope the new series goes better than this novella did.
I didn’t love Wedding From Hell, but I did like it enough to move on to the first full-length novel in the series, Consumed. Here’s hoping it’s better than I’m expecting. Upside? It’s borrowed from the library, so it’s free.
Steamy prequel to Consumed. It should've just been included in the book because it's a pretty necessary prequel. You need that tension and build-up before reading the book. Though the rest of the story, the wedding and bride and groom and bachelor party, I could do without. A better setup is needed for these two to get together.

Wow...I loved this prequel for the new Firefighters Series by J.R. Ward. Fabulous background information on how Ann Ashburn and Danny Maguire get involved with each other and how their relationship is moving forward. Then the unthinkable happens!
So this novella is definitely longer than 0 pages
Actually it was about 70 to be sure. A quick read, good way to start Consumed, but really could have been added to the actual book rather than be a stand alone.

4.5 Stars Holy Moly!!
This was an excerpt from the book and it has me really wanting the full book right now! It stops on a real cliff-hanger moment!!
Part 3 of the novella series leading up to Consumed (which is coming soon) ended on an amazing cliffhanger...can't wait for the book!!

This cliffhanger is something...
Meh. Not sure I’ll finish this series. No idea why there needs to be a few prequels before the actual book. Get on with it already.
What a tease. Can't wait for October!

Just not my favorite JR Ward series
Too short
Nice little intro into Danny and Anne, but not worth the $ It should be free. If you don’t read it you really aren’t missing anything. Sorry.

Definitely a page turner. I couldn't put it down. I will add more later.

I mean, it was okay. It was a nice prequel, but there wasn't enough details (I get it, it's a novella). I've read some amazing novellas, and this missed the mark by a lot. Still pretty okay.
