This book was sweet! I love romance and this one had all the right ingredients! 
 Lauren Layne has become one of my must-read authors. Her stories are fun, sexy and they always have great secondary characters. 
 Meet Brooke Baldwin and Seth Tyler: 
 Brooke Baldwin has moved to NYC after her almost wedding debacle. To Brooke's dismay, her fiancee is carried away in handcuffs for white-collar crimes just before they exchanged vows. Soon after, she realizes her life as a wedding planner in LA is done. She needs a new beginning and joining The Wedding Belles is the answer to her prayers. 
 Her first job as part of The Wedding Belles is to plan the wedding of Maya Tyler. She is excited about the prospect until she meets the brother of the bride, Seth Tyler. 
 Seth is determined to keep her sister from making a mistake. His gut instinct is telling him her sister's fiancee is not the right person for her. He believes his hiding something and in order to find out what it is, he is willing to participate in every meeting related to the wedding. There is just one huge problem, he has the hots for the wedding planner. 
 Reading To Have and To Hold was refreshing. I liked that Lauren Layne is able to web such a good base for the series on her first installment. She gives us enough details on the secondary characters to make us want to know more about their lives. I want to know why Alexis is kind of a robot when she could be having a relationship with a certain hot British accountant or I can't wait to see Heather fall in love for the first time. 
 Both main characters were likable and I could see how they could fall for each other in such a short time. It didn't feel like insta-love to me. The side story between Grant and Maya was also good. I was rooting for them too. 
 The one thing I wasn't crazy about was the conflict in this love story. I'm not sure I liked what Brooke told Seth during their argument either. But, overall, it was a great way to spend an afternoon. 
 Cliffhanger: No
