Lydia Green is sent a video of her fiancee making out (and more) with his best friend/best man shortly before she’s supposed to walk down the isle. Utterly humiliated, she leaves her phone on the bed and does the only thing she can think of, run away. Even in full bridal gear, she manages to hoist herself over the very tall fence at the back of the property and climbs in the open window of the house next door. Fairly banged up and utterly devastated, she collapses in the bathtub and bursts into tears.
Vaughn Hewson’s career is currently fairly dead, after his band broke up. He’s back in his home town, trying to put his parents’ home on the market, before trying to figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. He certainly wasn’t expecting to find a crying bride in his bathtub, or having to deal with the ensuing drama when the groom’s furious family come knocking on the door to figure out why she ran away from the wedding.
Vaughn offers Lydia a place to stay for a few days, until she can get a semblance of order back in her life. Vaughn’s sister, who is running a bar with a couple of friends, offers both Vaughn and Lydia jobs while they make up their minds about what they want to do next, and how they feel about each other.
Full review here.
I don’t think I’ll ever read this one, but I have to tell you that I initially read the first sentence of your second paragraph as “Vaughn Hewson’s currently fairly dead” and I had whole other expectations. :)
Ha! That might have made the whole book more interesting.
