Book two of Kieran Kramer's Two Love Lane series focusing on Greer Jones and Stanford Elliott Wentworth Smythe, the Eighth Baron of Wickshire, or Ford for short. I find myself really liking this series the cast of characters are fun and so likeable it's easy to get absorbed into their world. This one is funny and Ford is so sweet at times. I liked that their romance and seduction took a little bit to get into, they took their time and got to know one another first before sleeping together, but not keeping them from fooling around and doing everything but that. Two Love Lane is a matchmaking agency between the computer algorithms and Macy being part cupid Elle, Macy, and Greer have made a name for themselves as the go to for finding your true love.
Greer Jones has been planning her wedding since she was a little girl. For Greer it has to be perfect, that means the groom too. When her high school sweetheart and long time boyfriend proposed she realized they really were not right for each other. Here she is four years later still getting grief from her parents about not marrying him and the fact that he's marrying someone else. Greer is truly happy for him if not depressed that she's still alone but for him she's happy they are both doctors and just perfect for each other. Until she finds out that they are having the wedding in Charleston and moving here.
Ford Smith is in the states to find his muse. As an artist he knows he paints well but there is something missing from his painting. He's in a funk and hopes that a change of scenery might help. In Charleston he finds his muse, the woman he wants to paint more than anything else. Now the tricky thing how's he going to meeting her, so he follows her. He follows her into the auction house and he does met her when she starts bidding on a wedding dress and accidentally sits in his lap. They are formally introduced when Greer runs into her ex and his fiance whose friends with Ford.
For Greer that wedding dress was the epitome of the perfect wedding dress. It didn't matter that she wasn't currently engaged but she planned to be someday. Unfortunately she was outbit by the prissy, stuck up, metrosexual Pierre Simons. Pierre will do anything if it hurts Greer after all they couldn't find him a love match at Two Love Lane, and has therefore set out to ruin them and this dress is just the icing on the cake. Pierre decides to make it a contest, for brides to get the chance to win this spectacular wedding dress. That's not going to stop Greer she enters anyways. It's clear that Greer has no chance at winning unless she has a partner Ford steps up to the task, and in return Greer agrees to model for him.
Overall, this was such a fun read. Aside from all the contest fun Greer and Ford go through and falling in love there is a side story that Greer helps along (love the Nodding Hill reference) with Elle's sister. While Greer is faced with her baggage and deals with it head on, Ford is slow on the up take, it takes a bit for his to realize why he won't admit to actually being in love with Greer. But when he does he goes all out.
