THE CHRISTMAS BACKUP PLAN by Lori Wilde

Twilight, Texas Book 12

From the publisher:

A regimented ex-Army man drives an irresistible wedding planner from Cupid to Twilight in the next Twilight, Texas, novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde.

You are cordially invited to a Twilight, Texas, Christmas Wedding! The town is decorated, the cookies are made, and the stage is set . . . for love.

Wedding planner Aria Alzate has one goal: to give her best friend a perfect day. But after a bump on the head, she’s under doctor’s orders not to travel on her own. So she’s stuck on the road to Twilight with upright, uptight Remington Lockhart in the driver’s seat. True, Remy is one long, tall, Texas male, but the ex-military man never saw a rule he didn’t like—making this one long road trip . . .

Remy has left the military, but the military lifestyle has not left him. The uncertainty this ex-paratrooper encountered during his tour of duty has convinced him that plans—combined with backup plans—will keep life under control. Aria is undeniably tempting, but her fly-by-the-seat of her pants attitude is never going to work.

Then a sudden snowstorm strikes, and these opposites come together in a night of unexpected passion. And suddenly the magic of a Twilight, Texas, Christmas takes hold, proving that sometimes the best plan is to have no plan at all.

Lori Wilde is one of the authors I really trust – I know her books are all good and all going to help me escape reality for a bit. This one is no exception.

The Twilight, Texas series is a terrific series and I really enjoyed every book, which is saying a lot, considering this is the twelfth book in the series! Her characters always come to life on the page and I can’t help rooting for them. Even this time, with Remy, a veteran with a stick up his butt. He is a real rules kind of guy, and he can’t understand someone like Aria at all. She just does things without a plan sometimes or makes the best of things when something goes wrong. If only she would have a backup plan for her backup plan, he wouldn’t have to worry about her so much.

But worry he does, because somehow he is falling in love with this unorganized woman. And while she laughs at his rules, she, too, is falling in love. But rules are rules and Remy knows she is not the one for him. Until he finally figures out that she is. All set against a Christmas wedding backdrop, this was a very fast, really good read. Another winner for Wilde.
