Book Review:

Save the Date is a stand-alone women's fiction novel. I am a huge fan of this genre and now Mary Kay Andrews is one of my favorite authors.

I love weddings and this book has a lot of them. I really admired the way the author has described all the events and locations in the entire book.

Cara Kryzik is divorced from a cheating husband and is an awesome up and coming florist in Savannah, Georgia. She is working hard and trying to make a name for herself among Savannah’s elite and their bridal parties. Of course, there is a business rival who wants to pull her back, bad name her, and sabotage her reputation.

Jack Finnerty is a well-known contractor in Savannah and neighboring areas. He and his brother Ryan own a historic property restoration business. On the day of Ryan’s wedding, Jack takes a wrong dog home which is identical to his golden doodle. That wrong dog belongs to none other than Cara’s who is also the florist in Ryan’s wedding.

Cara and Jack go through a lot of ups and downs and finally get there HEA.

This book is easy to read and I could fly through the pages, has amazing, likable, and realistic characters, romance, two identical white golden doodles. This was my first book by this author and I liked it so much. I definitely recommend this one and look forward to reading more books by her.

Synopsis:

Can this wedding be saved?

Up-and-coming floral designer Cara Kryzik is about to score the wedding of a lifetime—one that will solidify her career as the go-to-girl for Savannah society nuptials. The only problem is, life seems to be conspiring against her. Cara's implacable father, "The Colonel", doesn't believe in Cara's business savvy and is about to call in his twenty-thousand-dollar loan. Then, on the morning that someone steals her dog, Cara's refrigerator goes on the blink, turning twelve thousand dollars' worth of gorgeous blooms into road kill. And if that's not enough, the dog-napper, Jack Finnerty, turns up at her latest wedding and then mysteriously leaves her stranded on the dance floor.

All this turmoil will be solved if Cara can pull off the lavish Trappnell-Strayhorn wedding. The payday will solve all her problems—even the looming problem of a celebrated florist named Cullen Keane who is moving into her turf from Charleston. But the wedding is in six weeks, the bride is acting strangely (even for a bride) and the stepmother of the bride is becoming Cara's biggest headache. What Cara needs is to focus, but that's not easy when Jack is turning up at every wedding in Savannah (the man seems to know everybody), with Cara in his sights and seduction on his mind.

When Brooke Trappnell spirals into a shocking crisis and the wedding is in jeopardy, Cara must come to the rescue and figure out what she really believes in. Is it love? Is it her own strength? In the end, for everyone, "Save the Date" has more meanings than one. Told with Mary Kay Andrews's trademark wit and keen eye for detail, Save the Date is one you won't want to miss.
