A Waterfront Wedding has everything I've come to expect from Hallmark Publishing. A sweet romance, lots of small town fun, and a satisfying ending.

Evelyn Heart is restless. She’s the bookkeeper for the Captain’s Cottage, the most sought after wedding venue in the premier destination wedding town in America—according to Weddings Today magazine. But lately she’s wanting more than shuffling papers and crunching numbers and submitting supply orders. But what exactly, she’s not quite sure.
Ryan Court has spent the last year renovating the old Boat Works in Hearts Landing, turning it into another wedding venue. He and Evelyn had been childhood friends who’d drifted apart.
Evelyn and Ryan are thrown together to work on the town’s annual Wedding in a Week extravaganza. Working so closely together reawakens feelings each had thought they’d firmly dealt with in the past.
This is a charming story, and it was fun to return to Hearts Landing and to catch up with some of the previous characters we’ve met there.
I highly recommend A WATERFRONT WEDDING.

I received a free advance copy of this book from the publisher but this did not induce me to review it, favorably or not.… (mere)

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an advance reader coy of this story.

A Waterfront Wedding: A Heart's Landing Novel, by Leigh Duncan, is book 3 of the series. It's available at booksellers on 4-20-2021. I've enjoyed the town of Heart's Landing, a wedding destination town that sounds so lovely. I do hope that Ms Duncan continues the series, there are so many more people who need an HEA.. If Hallmark would be so kind as to make these books into movies I'd be grateful. I will admit that this couple, Ryan and Evelyn, were not my favorite. They're perfectly fine but for some reason I didn't connect with them. The story was an enjoyable read and I'd recommend it for a good way to spend your time.

"A Waterfront Wedding" offers a return to Heart's Landing--the quaint little Rhode Island town where hearts find each other and wedding dreams come true. Author Leigh Duncan's beautifully-descriptive writing, interesting characters, and involving story lines ensure a real reader's treat for lovers of contemporary romance. The characters learn about themselves as they learn about each other. They grow as individuals as they grow closer together as a couple. Evelyn Heart has stepped up to manage The Captain's Cottage, a premier wedding venue, while the operations manager, her cousin Jason, is on his honeymoon. The annual "Wedding-in-a-WeeK" contest sponsored by "Weddings Today" magazine is won by a Marine and his bride-to be, who will have to choose between The Captain's Cottage and a new competitor, The Boat Works. Ryan Court, a friend since childhood of Jason and Evelyn, and a natural-born carpenter, had done an impressive job of restoring the boatworks in just over a year's time. He had put his heart and soul, and his life's savings into the project, and he very much needed to win the competition. As the competition becomes more intense, sparks fly between Evelyn and Ryan--but can rivalry lead to romance? I loved coming back to Heart's Landing--my own romantic imagination is captured by the legend of the town's founder, seafaring Captain Thaddeus Heart, and his own love story. Readers will also enjoy the first two books in the series, "A Simple Wedding" and "A Cottage Wedding".
