I decided to create a wedding planner and keepsake book so that the bride could have all her information in one place. It''s so handy for the planning of a wedding, but it''s a whole new book when the wedding day is done. I look at mine now and I remember all the great dresses, websites, flowers, rings and outrageous ideas I loved and might not have used. Then I look to the back and I am always thankful for all that we were given. It''s a fast time in a couple''s life so it''s great to have a book that documents the whole planning process from the first idea to the actual wedding day.

A hilarious romcom for fans of The Hating Game and Beach Read Inspiration can be found in the most unlikely - and inconvenient - places Kara Sullivan is definitely not avoiding her deadline. After all, it's the week of her best friend's wedding and she's the maid of honour, so she's got lots of responsibilities. She's a bestselling romance novelist with seven novels under her belt, so she's a pro. Looming deadlines don't scare her, and neither does writer's block, which she most certainly does not have. She's just eager to support Cristina as she ties the knot. Right? Right. But then who should show up at the rehearsal dinner but Kara's college ex-boyfriend, Ryan? Turns out he's one of the groom's childhood friends, and he's in the wedding party, too. Considering neither Kara nor Ryan were prepared to see each other ever again, it's decidedly a meet-NOT-cute. However, when Kara sits down to write again the next day, her writer's block is suddenly gone. Are muses real? And is Kara's muse . . . Ryan? 'A fabulous debut; it had me laughing, it had me shouting, it had me from the get-go. Bromley has a knack for banter, creating a smart, sassy and sexy read - Kara and Ryan's story is a blast' Pernille Hughes, author of Probably the Best Kiss in the World
