The Wedding Audition was a "two people hiding out (for different reasons) found each other" trope. However, a few fudged details and pretty lame suspense left the book merely average despite decent chemistry between the two and a good meet-cute and prologue.
To recap, Annamae Jessup was about to wed Atlanta's hometown favorite ballplayer as a part of her reality show life, but a last second cold feet had her calling a radio talk show giving relationship advice... and her voice was recognized, leading her to skip town and spend cash only to get away from it all, and to seek out the grandma, Hazel Mae, she never knew, all the way out in the tiny town of Beulah Alabama, in a beat-up Beetle and a stray dog she picked up. In search of a quiet place to stay, she ended up on an apple farm with a carriage house... and a somewhat hostile owner keeping a big secret. He's actually Wynn Lafferty, decorated undercover police officer, and he's in witness protection because he needs to put a gang out of business. The farm was rigged with a ton of sensors and cameras because he knew he's on a hit list. The last thing he wanted was a spoiled TV princess ruining his cover... but he saw the honesty in her eyes that she despises publicity as much as he does. And they fell for each other. Unfortunately, her mom, then her dad rolled into town, and media was not far behind. And then the assassin arrived...
In such a small town, nobody noticed a "rogue gardener"? A cop can make his own witness protection program? Who is Delailah? Is is street gang or Russian mob? The logic errors begs belief. Also, seems there were a couple changes in details and editing didn't catch all of them. The ending was also way too hurried. The book is at least, fast and easy to digest. But it's not that tasty.
