Customer Reviews

Four and a half stars

I'm very much of two minds about this book. On the one hand, there's a pretty major disappointment here. Blake and Holly are the only Cara Colter characters who wind up sleeping together before they're married, and the fact that they did really was a major point against the story, especially coming from an author from whom we can expect so much better. However, that said-- Blake and Holly are wonderfully likeable characters whose growing feelings for each other are beautiful and believable. This story showcases Cara Colter's willingness to explore motivations and bring together many small details to create an unforgettable picture. By the way, a misprint in my edition of this book renders the whole joke about the name of the ranch (on page sixty-something) totally incomprehensible. I would LOVE to know what Blake really wanted to rename the place!

A HASTY WEDDINGBlake Fallon has been a very known character throughout the entire Colton series. In the earlier books Blake's father tried twice to kill Joe Colton. Blake loves the entire Colton family and they treat him like part of their family, so he has a lot of guilt over what his father did. He now has other concerns though because someone has contaminated the water at Hopechest ranch. Blake runs the Hopechest ranch and is angry that someone would hurt the children that live there. Holly Lamb works at the Hopechest ranch as Blake's assistant. Holly loves her job and the kids, but even more than that she loves her boss. The only problem is that Blake only sees Holly as his assistant and nothing more. That is until Holly undergoes a transformation from a wall flower to a princess. Blake finally starts to notice Holly as not just his assistant, but as a woman that he would like to get to know better. As Blake and Holly become closer, the investigation into the water contamination is coming to an end. Blake and Holly did not think that anything could be worse than someone contaminating the water. However, once they discover who is behind the contamination, things are bound to get a lot worse before they get better.The story of Holly and Blake can stand on its own if you do not want to read all of the previous books in the series. However, I would recommend that you read Protecting Peggy, Sweet Child of Mine, and Close Proximity. These three books plus A Hasty Wedding all surround the controversy over the water contamination. Enjoy.
