I enjoy the concept of this series. Wedding Planners finding love. The contrast of these women working in a business that pretty much caters to love, and seeing their own struggles to find love is interesting. I can't wait to read about all the secondary characters that Lauren Layne has set up. 
 But in To Have and to Hold, newcomer Brooke Baldwin is the center of attention. Just moved to New York from California after a disastrous (to say the least) break-up at the altar, Brooke is looking forward to starting over in a new place. She gets a job with the Wedding Belles and lands her first client right off the bat. Only problem is the bride's brother holds the purse strings for the upcoming nuptials. 
 Seth Tyler, wealthy hotelier, is shocked when his sister comes to him telling him she's getting married. He's never met the guy and getting engaged after only three months together sets alarms bells going off. Seth is determined to keep a close eye on his brother-in-law to be because the last thing he wants is his sister to be hurt by someone looking to cash in on her wealth. He's not taking into account the wedding planner he'll have to deal with on a regular basis. Neither of them are in a place where they want to start something serious, but cannot deny their attraction to one another. 
 I immediately loved the antagonism between Seth and Brooke. He trying to control everything with the wedding and she just trying to do her job. They classically clash at first, but there's still that heat between them which always makes for a good romance. I'll admit there were times when I though Seth was a bit too much of an ass, but Lauren Layne did a good thing when she decided to switch POVs between Seth and Brooke because it made it easier to see where he was coming from, and get his perspectives about his actions. 
 What I would have loved to have seen more of in the story was the interaction between the ladies of Wedding Belles. Just to show some true connection between them. There are a few instances, but I felt like I wanted more out of those instances. Hopefully, as the series continues and each character gets her own story, the culmination of all the interactions between the ladies will build up these friendships and connections between the ladies better. Typically in romance, besides the main couple's story, I love to read about the friendships. 
 Overall, I really liked the story and this series in the same way I've found myself liking all of Lauren Layne's books. I can't wait to read the next Belle to get her HEA.
