BOOK BLURB:
Sometimes, nothing goes according to plan ...

Wedding coordinator Eliott doesn't think his nose-diving career can get much worse. After the wedding disaster of the decade, the last thing he needs is to get involved with his new client. Dylan's wedding is supposed to be Eliott's new start, his second chance, but not when it risks everything he's worked for, everything he thought was right.

Dylan never intended to fall for the wedding planner, and despite his 'bride's' encouragement he can't bring himself to tell Eliott the truth behind their plans. If Eliott knew the real reason they'd approached him, everything would be ruined. But as time goes on and his feelings for Eliott deepen, how long can he keep pretending the wedding is nothing more than convenience

BOOK REVIEW:
“Best Laid Plans” by Cat Kane is a surprisingly great story. I say surprisingly because initially some of the characters appear very unlikable. Not only did that quickly change but also they end up being quite wonderful.

The story opens with a funny wedding disaster that gets blamed on our protagonist Eliott. He is a sweet, charming Wedding Planner whose every move is fraught with obstacles. I couldn’t help but laugh at the proverbial 'straw that broke the camel’s back' moment in the opening chapter when even nature seems to turn against poor Eliott.

Despite the amusing aspects of the wedding disaster, I found myself feeling a lot of sympathy for the guy. He just “wants to make people happy” and he sees his entire business collapsing. I really enjoyed Eliott’s complex nature; his conflicting desires to be a success and yet his attraction to the groom. Besides, it is hard not to like a guy that really wants to make people happy.

Thus, when, for some nefarious reasons, Veronica and Dylan hire Eliott for their wedding, I really disliked these two and wasn’t sure I’d like where the story appeared to be going. Rest assured, not only did the characters redeem themselves, but also the story has a few enjoyable twists and turns.

Just as it looks like either the plans of Eliott or Veronica and Dylan must fail for the other to succeed, and that either way, Eliott’s going to get hurt, the author throws in some brilliant twists that deliver a completely romantic and satisfying conclusion.

Overall, this story is very well written and is a delightful romantic journey.
