Review

Do you like gorgeous love stories set on the Cornish coast, with lots of pinning, swooning, and a beautiful tale of healing and finding exactly where you’re supposed to be?

Gah, Con weaves such a lovely story that makes you want to live there forever. So vivid that you can see it so clearly in your mind. You could paint it like it was real (if you could paint).

Stefan...carries the weight of the world on his shoulder, or at least the weight of his family's health and happiness and the farm he took over far too soon. In the midst of trying to keep his head above water, he turns away from Marc's advances.

What they learn when they are reunited is that life is better, and easier, with someone who dreams of you succeeding. At every turn, there are high-stakes decisions to be made, but the strength and love they show each other (even before those feelings are shared) makes all their dreams seem possible.

There is a lot of soul searching and growth between these men and they are stunning as a couple. Like a warm hug while watching a sunset.

Synopsis

A second chance with his brother’s best friend also comes with a deadline.

Three years after inheriting his family farm, an accident forces Stefan Luxton to rethink his future. Turning his farm into a five-star wedding venue is one goal. Another is to reconnect with Marc, who Stefan loved but let slip away to the city.

Now Marc’s back, trying for a job that might keep him in Cornwall long term, and Stefan’s determined to help him. There’s just one problem — he only has seven days to do it.

Expect:

A strong and silent gentle giant.

The bright soul who lights his shadows.

Sparks rekindling on wild and rugged moorland.

Past heartbreak finally healing.

All against a clock that won’t stop ticking.

A Wedding in a Week is set in Con Riley’s extended Cornish romance world. New readers can start right here and expect a sweet and steamy standalone story, rich with hurt-comfort emotion, while previous readers might enjoy glimpsing a few old friends.

Inspired by a short story contribution to a charity anthology, A Wedding in a Week is a novel-length expansion containing significant unique content.

About Con Riley

CON RILEY lives on the wild and rugged Devonshire coast, with her head in the clouds and her feet in the Atlantic Ocean. Injury curtailed her enjoyment of outdoor pursuits, so writing fiction now fills her free time instead. Love, loss, and redemption shape her romance stories, and her characters are flawed in ways that make them live and breathe. When not people-watching or wrangling her own boy band of teen sons, she spends time staring at the sea from her kitchen window. If you see her, don’t disturb her—she’s probably thinking up new plots.
