The Proposal Planner
(Ever After #2)
by Kelly Collins

Amazon / BB

One loft. Two wildly different visions. And a barn full of glitter, fog machines, and undeniable chemistry…

I’m Maddy Chang—professional proposal planner, glitter enthusiast, and co-founder of Ever After, Inc. With my best friends off honeymooning and handling bridal disasters, I’m holding down the fort in River Bend. That was going fine … until Mason Kincaid moved in.

He’s Henry’s best man, all business suits and spreadsheets, and he just claimed my creative loft like it came with a deed. We’ve been clashing over everything from furniture to fairy lights—but when a last-minute proposal forces us to team up, the unthinkable happens.

We make magic. Together.

I’m chaos in combat boots. He’s logic in loafers. But somewhere between the fog machine and the fake Eiffel Tower, we crossed a line—with a kiss neither of us can forget.

Now we’ve got no feelings, no repeats, and definitely no falling in love.

But the heart doesn’t follow blueprints, and love doesn’t wait for permission.

Especially not in a town like River Bend—where sparks fly fast, second chances sneak up on you, and one perfect proposal could change everything.

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

His voice carries the ease of someone who’s never heard the word no and wouldn’t recognize it if it arrived by certified mail.

…the fog machine kicks on with the subtlety of a Broadway understudy desperate for stage time. White mist pours across the barn floor like ghost cats in a Halloween parade. “Oh my,” Mrs. Patterson says, unfazed. “Is this part of your artistic process, or are we summoning something?”

Her jaw drops so far, I’m pretty sure I can see her molars.

Oh, he’s definitely husband material! Look at that sense of humor! That’s what we need in the family tree, strong bone structure and an ability to survive emotionally volatile brunches!

My Review:

Kelly Collins has really hit her stride with this delightfully amusing missive. I adore her humor, smooth storytelling, and engaging writing style, and all her well-honed skills truly shine through in this, one of her most humorous and endearing efforts I have had the pleasure of reading. I can’t wait to see what she does with the next installment.
