**REVIEW ** NO WEDDINGS by KAT & STONE BASTION

Award-winning author Kat Bastion teams with her husband, Stone Bastion, in this first book in the No Weddings Series about Cade Michaelson, a successful man with his sights set on a new venture in business, and Hannah Martin, the woman who makes it personal. 

I think I have my act together as a successful bar owner, my master’s degree within reach, and a list of no-strings-attached women warming my bed. Turns out, I don’t. 

Hannah believes she has safeguarded her wounded heart by shunning men and focusing on her new baking business. The thing is, she hasn’t. 

When my three sisters and I start a new event-planning business with Hannah as our baker, I have no idea how my life is about to change. As Hannah and I work closely together, the attraction between us becomes irresistible. And complicated. I’ve promised my sisters I wouldn’t mix business with pleasure. But I’ve never been one to follow the rules.

I really enjoyed this book and finished it in a few hours. It’s  a nicely written romance with no Major sex scenes. My only disappointment was the ending  found it didn't seem to have a proper ending.

The book starts with a party for the opening of Cade’s families new bar Loading Bay. It turned out as such a success Cade and his three sisters decide to start and event organising business. They make a unique set of rules INCLUDING THE USUAL  no having sex with the staff,  THEY WILL NOT ORGANISE WEDDINGS. They decide to use Sweet Dreams as their cake supplier and Cade thinks Hannah, the owner is gorgeous but she puts on a “ice queen “ facade whenever Cade is around.

Hannah and Cade gradually start to get along, trading business tips for meals and they find themselves attracted to one another but they both have a secret heartache they don’t know if they can recover from and give themselves to the other.  the book is about their journey and will they be able to put aside their past and make a go of it together.
