Wedding coordinator Faith McKenna doesn’t believe in the happily-ever-after that she promises her clients. So she has no qualms about giving a few brides one last fling on the side before they commit for life.

When maid of honor Rachel Union catches her best friend fooling around with the wedding coordinator before her wedding day, she swears she’ll out Faith to everyone if the bride doesn’t make it down the aisle. Against her better judgment, Rachel agrees not to tell the groom, but she vows to keep a close eye on Faith until after the big day. But spending time with Faith challenges Rachel’s opinion of her as shallow and opportunistic.

2017 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Rainey with a Chance of Hale (A Rainey Bell Thriller #6)

1) Fast paced thriller. Even though this is part of a series it is written so that you didn't need to read the others before this one.  Extremely well developed characters and the reader is kept guessing through the whole story.  
2) Setting was always vivid and fit the story line. Quality of writing was good, spare, left something to the imagination of the reader, with good dialog. A few minor editing flaws, but on the whole a good surprise for a self-published book.
3) This is a well-paced, crisp story that follows through with what it promises to the reader. It's a strong example of its genre.
