“When I’m close to him like this, I feel like I’m where I’m meant to be.”

A good read. It’s what you come to expect from book 13 of a series that uses the same trope. Nothing is wrong with it, I’m just not tickled or thrilled by it anymore. Like I said, a good book but I’ve read the same thing 13 times now.

Sweet and short

This was a quick read featuring the lovely story of Veronica and Miles, as they reconnect and fall back in love when Veronica has to plan Miles' sister wedding.

For such a short book there was some drama! But it's not the central point of the book, through there are some drama inducing details like the fact that Miles' sister was Veronica's school bully. But he is charming and trustful and Veronica, though very stressed is a pretty nice character. At times I felt the story was too large to be contained in such a short book, but it's a lovely one nevertheless.

My favorite part of the book was the romantic comedy vibe it had, or is it just me watching all the movies featuring wedding planners?! It had some cuts just like in those movies, a bit chick lit vibey, which was all charming, all to make space for the star of the show, Miles and Veronica heated moments.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my opinion.

What kind of wedding does a wedding planner plan???

DEAR WEDDING PLANNER is the thirteenth book in the SINCERELY YOURS series and is about Miles Jameson and Veronica Gardner. Miles is a free lance photographer who has been traveling the world for the last three years. He has come home to help his twin sister, MacKenzie, plan her wedding that is happening next year. Veronica is a wedding planner who started her own business, I Do - For You, five years ago. She had always loved weddings and thought it would be special to help couples plan their special day. But now she is tired of the bridezillas and the last one was the topper. The woman actually bounced the check to pay Veronica on her wedding day, for eight thousand dollars, because they ran out of money. After Veronica confronted her about it the couple and all their family started blasting her on social media about how unprofessional Veronica was. As a result there have been couple cancelling on her and she has been going through her savings to keep the business going. So when she is to meet with the Jameson/Franklin wedding is knows she needs to but that does not make her want to run when she finds out the bride is Mackenzie Jameson, her high school nemesis who made her life miserable. But things shift when she finally recognizes the "groom" is actually Mackenzie's twin brother Miles. He sure has changed from the time they were lab partners in senior year. Miles has always had a major crush on Veronica but could never bring himself to say anything to her. Well he actually tried during the summer after they graduated only to find that she had left early for college. Veronica is still as beautiful as ever and even curvier, which makes him have all kinds of naughty thoughts. Over the next couple of weeks these two are thrust together more for the wedding planning and they definitely hit it off. Miles finally decides he is not going to waste another opportunity as he is ready to move home permanently and he wants Veronica to be his, to build a future and family with.

This is a well written and very entertaining, sweet and dirty smexy story. There is some drama, romance, sizzling chemistry, family, friends and more all woven together with a couple wonderful characters into a very enjoyable book.

This is a great second at romance for Veronica who just happens to be Miles’ twin sister Mackenzie’s wedding planner. Miles is a traveling photographer and has just arrived back in town from a photo shoot. Miles and Veronica went to high school together and just as Miles has gotten up the nerve to talk to Veronica and express his feelings; he goes by her house and is informed that she has already left for college.

The two meet again after 10 years when Mackenzie insist that Miles go with her to see her wedding planner. After a brief misunderstanding the two are crushing on each other. Veronica remembers how Mackenzie was a bully in high school towards her and doesn’t want to be her wedding planner. Veronica’s assistant Octavia informs her to put her girl panties on because they need the job.

Just when things are going great for Miles and Veronica yet another misunderstanding is thrown into the mix.

Will Miles and Veronica be able to get pass this second misunderstanding, will Mackenzie apology for the way she treated Veronica in high school, will Miles and Veronica get their HEA? Pick up your copy today and you will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed this second chance at romance, the characters were great, fast paced, easy read, steamy, entertaining all the makings for a great novella.

Unexpected Bonus for the Wedding Planner . . .

Veronica Gardner has built her wedding planner business up for five years. But one bad disaster, the bride giving a bad check for $8,000 and expecting Veronica to give her services for free since it was the bride’s “big day”, ended up being criticized on social media saying Veronica was being unprofessional. A few cancellations hit her financially, and now she needs to rebuild her reputation. Unfortunately, that meant that she had to accept Mackenzie, her high school bully, as a client, and do a stellar job. The bride-to-be brings her brother along, Veronica's lab partner back in high school days, whom she crushed on but never let him know. She was unaware that Miles Jameson had a crush on HER as well.

There are some rocky moments due to a misunderstanding. But will Veronica and Miles let their own feelings play out? Or will Veronica be even more vigilant to keep Miles away from her heart while she tries to save her wedding planner business?

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Dear wedding planner is the thirteenth book in the ‘’sincerely yours’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Veronica is a wedding planner that’s nearly down on her luck. When she is hired to plan her high school bullies wedding, she is less than thrilled. Miles has wanted Veronica for years. When she is hired to plan his sisters wedding, they’re thrown together. Will Miles finally get a chance with Veronica?
The chemistry between Veronica and Miles is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Dear Wedding Planner is a great addition to the series and the beginning to a fun twist to the stories. Veronica has started her own wedding planning business, but after an annoying bride and groom, she can't turn down any body, especially the girl who bullied her in school. Miles is being dragged alone to met his sister's wedding planner. When he walks into the meeting his memories of the woman returns to him like it was yesterday.

This is a fun story of taking chances that you thought you had lost, a bit of misunderstanding and feelings the grow as two people open up. Veronica and Miles have a great chemistry, the connection they felt in school only intensifies now that is ten years late. Grab and add to your library.

Really cute!

I looked this a lot! This was a nice story to cool down from the super serious firefighter story I just read. Old high school love and a sister with a hardcore bro-con 😂🤣. Veronica and Miles had good chemistry and a great backstory. I actually liked Mackenzie too. Even though she’s a bro-con 🤣. It was funny how much she dotted on her brother. I did find it humorous we never met her fiancé. He was the mysterious shadow man cloaked in mystery. I can’t wait for the next installment but good thing Dash has other series she introduced to us during this series for me to gobble up! This has seriously been such a great enjoyable experience for me. Truly a rollercoaster 🎢 of emotions reading each book. New places, new people and new adventures. Truly epic! 5 twinkling stars ✨✨✨✨✨ and 10 meteors as a whole! ☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️. Fabulous time.

Love it - wedding planner and photographer! This is about Veronica, the wedding planner and Miles the photographer. Although the story is more based on Miles being Mackenzie’s brother as she is the bride to be that hired Veronica as her wedding planner, it is also about a second chance. Miles has always loved Veronica but when he finally had the guts to tell her she was gone to college. Now 10 years later, he is not going to lose this shot to get what he wants. There is something also about his sister and Veronica that need to amend. Overall I love the book because there is forgiveness and second chances.

In the 13th (!) installment of Lana Dash's engaging Sincerely Yours series, freelance photographer Miles and wedding planner Veronica get a second chance at romance. Veronica's wedding planning business is faltering so when her high school nemesis hires her, she really has no choice but to accept the contract. But accompanying Mackenzie to her first appointment is her twin brother, Miles - who back in high school had a huge crush on his lab partner, Veronica, but never had the nerve to make a move until it was too late. Reunited a decade later, Miles has no intention of squandering this second chance with the one who got away! A super sweet and swoon-y short romance!

Veronica and Miles

Veronica is a wedding planner and she's surprised to find her high school nemesis is her client - and her brother. Miles is happy to see Veronica again 💞 he had loved her in high school but didn't say anything. Now he is going to let his feelings be known!!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this engaging entertaining and compelling instalove novella! It's such a sweet romance that you will love 🤩 The characters are likeable, relatable and compelling to read. Told from dual POVs reveals intimately their thoughts, feelings, and emotions as they explore their relationship. There's an epilogue and a HEA 💓

[Holly Doyal · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is seriously short. So if you are looking for a book to read on a lunch break, this would be a good choice.

My only problem with this book is that it can’t go into any depth because of how short it is. This book covers many situations (bullying in high school, a high school crush that was never forgotten, etc), but everything moves so fast that it almost seems unreal. If you can accept the fact that these people move at warp speed with their relationship, then I think you will like this book.

Miles is dragged into meeting his sister’s wedding planner but is more than happy when he realizes it’s his one that got away he’s more than happy.

Veronica is put in a situation where beggars can’t be choosers so she has no choice but to take on her former nemesis as a client. The only thing that makes it better is connecting with her high school crush.

Liked how these characters were reintroduced to each other and liked some of the secondary characters. Also liked how the characters were held accountable for their actions.

Veronica and Miles knew each other in high school. Both secretly crushed on the other but never acted upon it. Now years later Miles is home from travelling the world as a photographer to help with his sister’s wedding. Veronica is the wedding planner and they both find the connection is still there. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. Miles and Veronica were likeable real characters. They each had their own things to get passed but took their second chance and got their HEA. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Sally · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a brilliant read in this series.
Veronica is a wedding planner but when she meets her newest client she can't believe it's her high nemesis and her brother.
Miles thought he had missed his chance with Veronica but when his sister says she is her wedding planner he can't wait to meet her.
A brilliant read with plenty of drama and emotion but will they get their HEA when there is a big misunderstanding.
Loved the ending.

This is book number 13 in the Sincerely Yours series and focuses on Miles and Veronica.

When he discovers that his sister is hiring her as her wedding planner he realizes that his feelings for her never went away and is wanting his second chance to make her his once and for all. This was a great story and an excellent addition to the series!

Veronica and Miles knew each other from high school but little did they know that they each had crushes on each other but never said anything. They run into each other years later when his sister needs a wedding planner and Veronica needed the money so she took the job. I loved Veronica and Miles together and I was cheering these two on to get their happily ever after. As always the writing is well done, the characters are great and this is a great addition to the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This is a wonderful addition to the Sincerely Yours series, fast-paced and quick to read. This novella is fun and steamy. Veronica and Miles were lab partners at school who had a crush on the other but didn't let the other know. Now years later and Veronica is hired as the wedding planner for Miles' twin sisters wedding. Some drama thrown in the mix you keep you on your toes...

Veronica was tormented by bride to be Mackenzie but when her brother Miles comes with her all is cordial on the surface. Miles can't keep his eyes off the girl he let get away. Miles writes a letter to Veronica confessing his feelings and they meet for dinner. Naturally Mackenzie sees an awkward kiss give to Veronica but all ends well. I loved the plot twist ending!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It was a nice second chance romance for Veronica and Miles. They missed their chance in high school to get together but Miles' sister hiring Veronica gives them another chance. An unwanted kiss almost ruins things but it is soon worked out. I liked how Veronica plans her own wedding.

This quick read is a second chance story with likeable characters who have believable chemistry and connection. The story moves along ok, although personally there were a couple of places I would have liked a little bit more development, I enjoyed seeing them finally get their HEA.

Wow! It here are a lot of swoon worthy scenes in this book. I love the email Miles sent to Veronica and that scene in the restaurant. And the fact that he believed in her and ask for her side of the story makes him the top guy.

It was ok

This book didn't seem as put together as the rest of the series. There wasn't as much story development although I liked the added dimension of their history. There also were some editing problems in the first few chapters. Still a sweet story but maybe not one of this authors best.
