YOU SAY IT FIRST Synopsis:
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fool's Gold romances invites you to visit Happily Inc, a wedding destination founded on a fairy tale...
Sculptor Nick Mitchell grew up in a family of artists and learned from his volatile father that passion only leads to pain. As he waits on a new commission, he takes a day job as a humble carpenter at a theme wedding venue. The job has its perks--mainly the venue's captivating owner, Pallas Saunders. Although he won't let love consume him, for ecstasy with an expiration date, he's all in.
Pallas adores Weddings in a Box. But if she can’t turn the floundering business around, she’ll have no choice but to cave to her domineering mother and trade taffeta for trust funds working at the family’s bank. Then when a desperate bride begs Pallas for something completely out of the box, her irresistible new hire inspires her. Nick knows she doesn't belong behind a desk, and she knows in her heart that he's right—where she really belongs is in his arms.

Excerpt:
Nick sanded the sliver of wood
so the point was sharper, then used tweezers to carefully put it into place.
This time the fit was perfect. The restoration of the panels was painstaking
work, but worth it, he thought. Something this beautiful deserved to be made
whole again.
“Do you have a second?”
He looked up and saw Pallas in the doorway. Not a
surprise—this was her business and from what he could tell, she was in the
office every day.
However, right now something was very different and every
cell in his body noticed.
Instead of her usual work uniform of jeans and
T-shirt, she had on a long dress. But not just any dress. It was low-cut, with
a tight, black leather corset over a white short-sleeved puffy blouse and full,
black-and-white vertical strip skirt that fell to the floor.
She had curves he hadn’t noticed before—the kind
of curves that got a man to thinking about touching and tasting. While he’d
known that Pallas was female and someone whose company he enjoyed, he hadn’t
exactly seen her that way before. That he did now was
unsettling. Worse was the possibility that now there was no way to unsee
her.
She held out the skirt with both hands. “I have a
princess wedding with a black-and-white theme.
My friend Violet wants to make
these changes to the server costumes.” Her voice sounded doubtful.
“We’ve used
this basic style forever, but she added the corset and the overlay on the
skirt.”
She spun around for him to see the back, then bent
over to look at the—well, he didn’t know or care what. Not with her breasts
practically spilling out. Was it him or was it hot in here?
“I can’t figure out if it’s sexy or slutty. I
thought I could get a man’s opinion.”
He had to clear his throat before he could speak.
“It
looks good.”
“Really? Do you think it will be a distraction?”
“Probably, but is that bad?”
“As long as the bride isn’t pissed.” She smiled. “I
guess we’ll risk it. I’ll tell her we’re a go with the slutty dresses.”
“Sexy, not slutty.”
“I can only hope.”
She released the skirt and crossed her arms under her
breasts. The full curves seemed to swell toward him, which made it difficult to
think about anything but walking over and pulling her close.
What he would do
after that wasn’t totally clear.
Mostly because there were so many
possibilities—there was no way to pick just one.
Review:
"You can't control every aspect of what's happening."
"I can sure try."
"Sometimes the mess-ups are the best part. It's where the magic happens."
What a wonderful start to a new series!!!
Susan Mallery has this wonderful way of surrounding you with so many visuals and feelings within her stories. Every character you meet, you either relate to, or want to know.
Nick and Pallas have amazing chemistry!
They each have heartbreaking, and yet, wonderful background stories to tell. Within this book you will see two people change, sacrifice, surrender, and mold themselves into the people they were meant to be.
Not to mention, they finally take a chance at the love they never saw themselves having.
"You're a bigger temptation than I'd realized."
I loved every aspect of this book! Every person I met, every detail of this small town, and every word that was spoken.
I enjoyed the visuals of the weddings Pallas created with Nick and her friends. Made me want to get into the wedding business!!!
I can't wait for the next book (and all the rest) in this series!
Another win for Susan Mallery!!
