I picked up this book thinking it would be an interesting, quick and fun little read. I was not disappointed. I found myself

Melody has taken part in more weddings than she cares to count, but never came close to being the bride. A relationship in her past burned her, and she isn't too eager to get close to that kind of fire again. Much to her shock, that object of her past comes barreling into her life... in a most unexpected way. Her half-sister brings a fiancée into the picture and Melody and their parents didn't even know that she was dating anyone. That fiancée is none other than the creep who broke Melody and so many other girls hearts. The worst part of it all is that her family doesn't believe her.

Meanwhile, Luke has loved Melody since they were 10 years old, and she doesn't have the faintest clue. I found myself laughing as she did her very best to try and figure out who his "mystery girl" was.

Good little book, a really fast read. Would recommend.

Watch a love story unfold between two best friends/neighbours who have known each other much of their lives, but never really thought they would fall in love!!

I love this book! Andrea does a wonderful job with the characters and allowing you to emotionally go through the circumstances with them. I love Luke as a hero!!! And I sympathize totally with Melody and all the angst she goes through. I love that Luke believes in her when nobody else does. It would have been so easy for Luke to turn against her, too. But, well, I'll let you read to see what happened. ;-)

I loved this book! I didn't want to put it down once I started reading. Everything was nicely tied up and resolved at the end, even minor details. The main characters were easy to like.

Great story! A modern day "happily ever after story". Dialog was great.
