S&S; Nook; Kindle; BAM; IBookstore; Google Play
Available today from Pocket Star EBooks is From This Day Forward ($1.99) by USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Layne. It's a 99-page prequel to The Wedding Belles series - To Have and to Hold (POCKET Books paperback; July 26, 2016; $5.99), For Better or Worse (POCKET Books paperback; August 30, 2016; $5.99), and To Love and to Cherish (POCKET Books paperback; October 18, 2016; $5.99).

From This Day Forward centers on Leah McHale, a young wedding photographer in New York. She mostly gets her jobs through the Wedding Belles, an elite wedding planning agency. She is more than excited when she is asked to fill in for another photographer at the last moment for a huge wedding event.

Who's getting married?

Well, the bride-to-be is a former First Daughter!

Remember, this is a love story, so of course there is romantic interest for Leah - Jason Rhodes, the other photographer that was hired for the wedding. They have a past together, which left Leah heartbroken, Jason thinks he might just have a second chance with her.

Final Thoughts: I had received and advanced copy of From This Day Forward back in April, but knowing that I wasn't going to write my review until the release day, I put off reading the novella until last night, which I read the entire 99 pages in one sitting. I don't believe I have read any other books by the author before, thought I have seen a few of her titles in bookstores. Lauren's style of writing reminds of me of Nora Roberts and Jude Devereux.

At less than hundred pages, Lauren wastes no time introducing the characters and setting up the plot. Overall, From This Day Forward is a fast-paced, fun romantic story that is perfect to read on a summer afternoon.
