  8. I appreciate that she does it so skillfully that it does not slow down the story nor does it bore the readers who have already read the first two books. Even though this is part of a series, Ms. Ridgeway does not create this story exactly like the first two books in this series. The premise of this story is that Con and JoJo meet each other for the first time at an anniversary party they both attend.

    After the party, they find themselves flirting in the hotel bar while they argue over the fastest route to Las Vegas. On the spur of moment, they, decide to drive separately to Vegas and test out their theories. The next morning, they wake up in bed together and discover that they are now married.

Deciding to also stay at the inn and help Jojo, Connor finds there is so much more to Jojo than he first thought. Jojo also discovers that Connor is not all that she expected.

I highly recommend My Quickie Wedding to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series.

    The timeline of this story somewhat overlaps that of the previous book Fun, sweet, heartwarming romance! The timeline of this story somewhat overlaps that of the previous book, which detailed the romance of Connor's sister, Audra, and JoJo's cousin, Kane. But since this story is told from the viewpoint of the new couple, the familiar scenes feel fresh and help to tie the combined timeline together. This is a beautiful love story, filled with humor and heart and plenty of heat.

    Connor is a true sweetheart, going the distance in his pursuit of true love with JoJo. JoJo's hurts are understandable, and it was heartwarming to see her bravely overcome her past and place her faith in her future with Connor. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Nov 04, Marcia rated it really liked it. Each book of The Heartbreak hotel series is a humorous, delightful romance.

    The characters are appealing and the narrative written in a light witty manner. This story occurs at the same time as the other two, intertwining all three.

Can he convince her to give their marriage a shot?

    I received a free, advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my unbiased and voluntary review. Since the three books are intertwined, I do not suggest reading this book as a stand-alone, but they should be read in order as released. Oct 30, Melanie Holden rated it it was amazing.

Nov 21, Amy Stephens rated it really liked it. If you've ever read Christie Ridgway, then you know you're in for a real treat. Her Heartbreak Hotel series is amazing and a must-read for any romance lover. I spent an evening devouring this cute story, My Quickie Wedding.

    Connor and JoJo were such fun characters that made this story so delightful and very entertaining. I liked the whole premise behind the story, based on some quick and impulsive decisions. We've all made them, but nothing like what happened between these two. The banter betwee If you've ever read Christie Ridgway, then you know you're in for a real treat. The banter between them was to die for, too. Jojo and her touch of sarcasasm! The only downfall was that I wish it had been longer.

    Ridgway can suck you into her well-developed and passion-driven stories like no one else can and before you know it you're at the end.

    I love how she reconnects her characters from the other stories in the series though you don't necessarily need to read them first.
