I’m thrilled to say I am on the Book tour for The Grooms Wore White by Charlie Lyndhurst in behalf of Rachel’s Random Resources. Thanks to Hera Books and Rachel for my copy of the book to take part today.
Even wedding planners struggle to get it right…
Jason is the best wedding planner around, known as the Fairy Godfather to the couples whose special days he plans. But coming up against workplace prejudice is taking a toll on his love for his job.
His mother-in-law, Mel, has just discovered her husband has been cheating on her with a younger woman. Nearing fifty, jobless and struggling, she needs to work out who she is aside from a mum and a wife, and get her life back on track.
Meanwhile, up-tight wedding planner Harriet is struggling to find her own true love – if such a thing exists. Between liars, married men, and disaster dates, she thinks she may never find the one. And her outdated attitude toward LGBT marriages make her even more bitter.
When Jason starts Extra Weddings – helping people marry whoever they like, in whatever way they want – he, Mel and Harriet find themselves coming together to help couples make memories to last a lifetime. But can they bridge their gaps, and be a unit when others need them most?
Fans of Casey McQuiston, Lindsey Kelk and Justin Myers are invited to the most heart-warming and extravagant wedding event of 2022.
The Grooms Wore White is a heartwarming story which is woven together from three people’s points of view. They are Jason, the wedding planner, Mel, his partners mother and Harriet his colleague. I always enjoy a story told from multiple viewpoints, it always makes me feel I get to know the characters so much more.
These are characters that are easy to fall in love with, well Harriet took a bit of getting used to but as the story unfolded we see her grow. Charlie Lyndhursts’ characters are clearly very well drawn and they continue to develop as I have already mentioned about Harriet. Mel gained strength in herself and it was so empowering to see her stand on her own two feet and stick up for herself to Steve. I was so pleased when she discovered happiness again.
There are books where you usually only like one character,The Grooms Wore White is so different in that I was over the moon for all the three characters. Jason himself, I loved, he has the strength to stand up for himself and any LGBT+ person who needs it,to the point he goes out on a limb to help. The fact that he builds his own business from the ground made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
We see them all come together in the end and support each other.
Charlie Lyndhurst hooked me immediately and I was fascinated with these three people. So fascinated and intrigued, that I would be so happy to read more about them all in more books from this author. I look forward to see what Charlie Lyndhurst brings next.
