Jaelyn reviewed In the Event of Love by Courtney Kae
Review of 'In the Event of Love ' from 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Morgan Ross is that high-flying career lady character who is a big-time event planner only to have a little career snafu when she accidentally kisses her client's fiance. Oops, now that 'New York Promotion™' is on the line and your clients are deserting you.
Hey, why not take up that job in your hometown you were derisive about a few seconds ago? Some small easy win and you're back in the game. I mean, the town is only full of heartbreak and regret, right? Totally solid plan. Though maybe it isn't the best entrance to crash your car into your former girlfriend's sign at the entrance to her tree farm. That's right, she's a hot, toned plaid-clad lumberjack called Nicole Coenen. No wait, my imagination got away with me there. She's called Rachel Reed and it turns out she's actually the client! Sort of.(But go on, insert Nicole in there and imagine she says okey-dokey every other word)
Save her tree farm from the evil capitalistic corporation that sucked the soul out of the neighbouring town already. Also, the corporation is run by your dad's former lover who turned down his proposal and broke your life a little. Ooo, revenge motivation.
Defend the authentic small-town getaway which is incongruously progressive lest we get the idea rural areas are homophobic or racist in any way. We've got small local businesses to save with a magical fundraiser in a barn and maybe win back someone's heart! But will Morgan find a way to screw this up before a last-minute dash and a public declaration of love? You betcha, 'cause this is a Christmas romcom.
