Objection to Love

About Objection to Love

One thing is for sure… law school was way easier than love.
September Miller has a ten-year plan for success, and it doesn’t include a personal life. So why does it hurt that her colleagues think she’s a bore and never invite her anywhere? And, more importantly, why is she enlisting her new next-door neighbor to fix that?

Garrett has barely moved in but somehow he’s already caught up in helping his neighbor learn how to have fun. It’s selfless of him and has absolutely nothing to do with finding the uptight lawyer attractive.

But maybe agreeing to spend every Saturday together wasn’t the best plan for either of them. September’s plans can’t be abandoned and there’s an expiration date on how long Garrett will be around. So what are they supposed to do when more than just Saturdays start to look appealing?

Objection to Love is a sweet romance with plenty of laughs and a happily ever after. It is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone.

About All For Love

What’s worse than planning your wedding?
Glad you asked.
Planning your parent’s wedding.
Cue eye roll.
The icing on the cake, no pun intended, is who I have to plan the wedding with.
My soon-to-be stepmother’s daughter.
Shoot me.
She thinks I’m a piece of work?
The girl needs to look in a mirror.
Even if her reflection is spectacular. And sexy.
And none of my business to admire.
I couldn’t care less about seating charts, center pieces, or floral arrangements.
I hate myself for knowing what half these things are.
But this girl?
She’s making the work tolerable.
Okay. Fine.
Maybe I’m enjoying it.
But she’s off limits.
Forbidden.
We need to keep it professional, but that’s the last thing I want.
I want her.
The work I’m doing for the wedding isn’t just for our parents.
It’s all for love.

Until she sees a video of a hunky Ginger rescuing ducklings.

After a few glasses of wine, her best friend talks her into leaving a comment to see if he’s single, which she does never thinking he’ll answer, much less slide into her DMs.

But he’s downright bored and wonders if he’ll ever meet a woman who’ll hold his attention. He’s been dating for over ten years, and at this point, he’s wondering if he’s even capable of falling in love.

When he sees a comment on his twin brother’s Instagram video from a woman named Eden, Colin is incredibly drawn to her. So what if he answers even though the message was intended for his identical twin? His brother is happily married and was better than him at everything growing up. Not to mention they look exactly alike.

Colin can tell Eden the truth about who he really is when the time is right.

The instant chemistry between this single mom and longtime bachelor, who’s posing as his identical twin, will have you flipping the pages in this small town rom-com by Katie Bingham-Smith.
