Three Reasons You Should Read This Hallmark Romance:
- A Cottage Wedding by Leigh Duncan is a really sweet misunderstanding-type romance that shows how love can be made a priority.
- Tara’s conflict over what to do feels very real, and while she tiptoes around the lying game, she never crosses so far over that I stop liking her – it was a nice balance.
- We get to learn more about the history of Heart’s Landing and the Captain’s Cottage, and it is truly swoon-worthy.
About A Cottage Wedding by Leigh Duncan
Title: A Cottage Wedding
Author: Leigh Duncan
Series: A Heart’s Landing Novel #2
Genre: Small-Town, Hallmark Romance
It’s more than a charming small town― it’s a premier wedding destination. But will one journalist ruin Heart’s Landing forever?
Tara Stewart’s boss at Weddings Today magazine sends her to Heart’s Landing to debunk its romantic legends. This could devastate the many local businesses who cater to weddings, from Forget Me Knot Florist to Dress for a Day.
The locals convince Jason Heart, the handsome descendant of the town’s founder, to show Tara around the town. But can he persuade her to believe in the romance?
My review of A Cottage Wedding:
A Cottage Wedding takes us back to the beautiful Heart’s Landing and a little deeper into the inner workings of The Captain’s Cottage. Jason and his team are determined to make the #1 wedding venue again, and they are pulling out all the stops. It isn’t just the Cottage’s reputation on the line, but the entire town.
Tara shows up to review Heart’s Landing when her editor backs out at the last minute. But she comes with an ulterior motive. One that she finds very hard to keep in mind as the people, places, and history of Heart’s Landing win her over. But her career and the life she always wanted are on the line.
I really enjoyed the history that was revealed in A Cottage Wedding. While Tara’s initial reason to dig into it isn’t the best, what she uncovers is amazing and beautiful and lovely and… I think you get the picture. And Jason’s love of the family home is evident in every action.
The big conflict in this book worried me at first – as I’m not a fan of mistaken/false intentions, but this one may have changed my mind. The regret over misleading is real, and Tara never takes joy in her deception. In fact, it eats at her every time she thinks about it. And the inevitable blow-up was quite believable. I love that it came down to truth and history to save the day – and those things really showed that love should be the greater motivation.
I fell even more in love with the town and its residents. It was a joy to come and visit and to witness another Heart’s Landing love for the ages.
