Can't Buy Me Love

by Andrea Renee Cox

Another charming eNovella is now available to own. Can't Buy Me Love introduces the new Destination Weddings series written by Beth K. Vogt. It's the perfect way to kick off the series, if you ask me.

This bite-size book features dog groomer Bellamy Hillman, who has pinched pennies her entire life. She's engaged to Reid Stanton, who has led a very privileged life. When Bellamy ends up with two wedding gowns, will their dreams of a Manhattan wedding combust before they even reach their destination?

The contrast between a poor dog lover and her wealthy fiancé worked a lot better than I expected. I must admit I didn't like Reid Stanton when I first met him. He seemed conceited and all about money. But the more chapters I read, the more layers I saw in him. Since I don't want to spoil the story for you, let me just say he grew on me and earned my respect. He even made me go “Awww!” which is always a fabulous thing about the hero of a book. My hope is that you'll also come to respect and enjoy Reid when you read Can't Buy Me Love.

Now that I finished this brief installment in the Destination Weddings series, I can hardly wait to dive into the first full-length novel in the collection. If this eNovella is any indication, we're in for plenty of surprises and mix-ups and interesting characters. Not to mention great plots, snappy dialogue, and pacing that isn't too rushed or sluggish. When I read a Beth Vogt novel, it's practically guaranteed that I'll collapse into a fit of giggles at some point, cry a couple of times, and gush about the book afterward.

Am I looking forward to her Destination Weddings series?

In a word, yes.

But it deserves much more than that one, simple word. This is one series I've been looking forward to for quite some time. If you haven't heard the buzz yet, I hope this review is only the beginning of the wonderful things you hear about it.
