Darcy Kincaid was once engaged to marry Kyle Easton, the wild child of the Easton clan, but did a runaway bride because Kyle had a case of the slippery dick. However, when Kyle ended up wrapping his car around a tree soon after, Eastons blamed Darcy and there had been no contact. Five years later, Darcy had renovated Belle Mont Manor by depleting her life savings, making it the goto location for wedding venues near Portland, and when Wedding Magazine offered her the cover if a celebrity couple can book their rush wedding there, Darcy jumped at the chance... Only to discover that the best man is her ex's brother Gage. When Gage found out, he immediately tried to cancel the venue or force Darcy out of the planning, but that all changed when he saw Darcy's daughter Kylie, who is no doubt his niece, and suddenly he understood Darcy's position and how the Easton clan had misjudged her. While the idea of Darcy withholding the existence of Kylie from them rubbed him raw, he must convince his family, including his grudge-holding mother, that his plan, which includes winning Darcy's heart, is their best chance...
The ending is a bit too abrupt, and the "darkest hour" wasn't as dark as it could be. There really wasn't even much of a grand gesture. Mama Easton just came across as a callous wounded individual used to get her way no matter the cost. The person changed the most is Gage, not Darcy, surprisingly. Description of slapstick moments that includes a dog and kids are very effective, and there were lots and lots of cupcakes. Enjoyable read except for the ending.
