To Have and To Hold is the first book in a fun new series by Lauren Layne. Told from dual points of view, To Have and To Hold follows the story of Seth and Brooke. Brooke just moved to New York for a fresh start and has been handed a huge client for her new job. What she wasn’t prepared for was the clients brother…Seth is used to controlling everything and getting his way. Only, Brooke is throwing him off his game. Not only is she trying to plan the wedding of his sister’s dreams, but she’s not putting up with Seth’s behavior. When Seth questions the intentions of his sister’s fiance, he will need help from Brooke. What Seth wasn’t expecting was to fall for the wedding planner along the way. Will Seth prove that his sister’s fiance is up to no good? Will Brooke finally get her own HEA?

To Have and To Hold is a sweet, and fun read. I loved the sex in the city meets the wedding planner aspect of it. I think that made the story-line a lot of fun and interesting. I loved Seth and Brooke from the very beginning. Their banter was so entertaining. They didn’t care for one another very much, but the sparks between them were undeniable. I loved their will they/won’t they moments. I thought they were a perfect match-both of them hurt in previous relationships, needing to meet the right person, just not realizing that they had found said person.

Overall, To Have and To Hold was a quick and easy read for me. Lauren Layne has once again delivered a sweet and entertaining romance with just the right balance of angst and humor. Lauren Layne is one of those authors whose writing I can always count on getting lost in and falling in love. I think this series is off to an exciting start and I can’t wait to see who’s story will be next.
