I really enjoyed this book. Mae is a wedding coordinator for a family winery and event space. who finds herself massively attrached to the very handsome movie start Kane after becoming a stand-in when a movie is being filmed at the vineyard. I breezed right through this book which was the perfect sort of celebrity escapist story when you want low drama and conflict.

The Backup Bride Proposal
a fun and flirty rom-com where sparks fly at first sight!

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Romance, General fiction (Adult)

I'm a bit of an addict for the fame romance trope, I love the drama that brings. I was hoping this would be a perfect read for me, and I enjoyed it but....at times it dragged, and Kane could have been any good looking guy dropped into a romance, other than the filming parts there was little indication he was a leading actor. No bodyguards, screaming jealous fans etc.
I did like Kane but there wasn't anything really special about him for me. Mae had some great dialogues with him, and I could feel the attraction but she was ( IMO) too prone to over reaction, and poor Kane was left feeling What just happened?
Its a great setting, fun characters and interesting read but for me it lacked drama, lacked the magic spark that would make me think – Must read that again!

Stars: Three, a good book but for me not a great one.

A cute romance story set filming a movie on a vineyard. Perfect quick read to take on holiday.
Mae steps in to film alongside Kane and play the part of missing actress Everly who is delayed filming another movie. Although weddings are part of her everyday life in her regular role of wedding planner at the vineyard, Mae has been burnt by her cheating ex fiancé Issac and now has a love em and leave them attitude to men.
As Kane and Mae spend time together both at work and in their free time, they discover they have a lot in common, and after a mix up following a paparazzi photo which leads to a breakup they both realise the depth of their feelings for each other.

I am so physicked for this novel words can’t even describe. I love a good Hollywood esque romance and this perfectly fits the bill. I look forward to sharing much more soon. I apologize I have been in the hospital unexpectedly recently and have fallen a bit behind on my review process, but I am slowly getting to each and every book one by one. I also love how he is going to take her back to his ranch as well swoon. This book would make a great movie. I really hope it gets optioned. Already living the characters and writing style as well,
