Today bestselling author Carly Phillips comes a new story in her
Knight Brothers series…
She used to be his. Now she’s about to marry another man.
Will he let her go … or will he stand up and take the bride?
Ryder Hammond and Sierra Knight were high school sweethearts.
Despite him being her brother's best friend, their relationship burned hot and
fast…and ended with heartbreak and regrets.
Years later, she’s at the altar, about to marry another man.
He’s only there for closure, to finally put the past behind him.
But when the preacher asks if anyone has a reason the couple
shouldn’t wed, she turns around and her gaze locks on his.
Suddenly he’s out of his seat.

Claiming.
And ultimately stealing the very pissed off bride and taking her
to a secluded cabin.
He wants one week to convince her they’re meant to be, to remind

MY REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a short novella that took about an hour to read. Sierra Knight was at the altar when the Preacher asked does anyone have any objections and Ryder Hammond stood up and said I do. They were high school sweethearts and he let her go so she would go and live her dreams but he never got over her. He is also her brother's best friend. The groom walks away and Ryder takes her and says they need to talk. She falls asleep in the car and 2 hours later they are in the Poconos. You do find out about their past and the feelings that are still there. I found this very enjoyable to read. Inkslinger sent this to me for a review.
Excerpt:
Ryder Hammond stared into the eyes of his best friend,
who appeared ready to murder him. Next to Sebastian were his two brothers,
looking equally furious, and Ryder knew he was in deep
shit.
Had he really just objected at Sierra’s
wedding?
He
began to sweat beneath his suit. But he’d done it, the words had spilled forth,
and now he had to dissect why. Ignoring the swearing men beside him, Ryder
thought about the moment the big wooden double doors had opened and he’d seen
Sierra in her wedding gown.
Her long light brown hair tumbled over her shoulders in
perfect curls, her curves showing in her fitted dress, her cleavage just
appropriately peeking out from the dipped neckline. Her gorgeous face had
glowed as she walked down the aisle to another man.
He’d come today because, as a close family friend, he’d
been invited. Because he thought he’d made his peace with the way things had
ended between them. And for closure. Once she was married, she’d be lost to him
forever. And that was the thought that had run through his head at the moment
the priest asked if anyone objected.
He
hadn’t planned to open his mouth.
He
hadn’t meant to ruin her wedding.
He
had intended to watch her be given away to another man and, dammit, be okay
with it.
But he wasn’t.
So
here they were.
He
glanced at her brothers, Sebastian, his closest friend, and Parker, because
Ethan had gone after his sister. “I have to talk to
her.”
“No f*cking way,” Sebastian said, one palm on his
chest, blocking him from moving forward.
“If I knew you’d planned this sh*t, I never would have
let you in the door,” said Parker.
Ryder held up both hands. “It wasn’t planned. The words
just came out of my mouth. But now that I said them, I need to speak with your
sister.” He shoved past the brothers and headed directly for Sierra, who stood
talking to the man she was supposed to marry.
His gaze locked with hers but Jason wasn’t having
it.
“It’s him.” He pointed, shoving his finger into Ryder’s chest. “It’s always been f*cking
him. At every family function, always around.” Jason turned to Sierra. “You
wanted him to interrupt the wedding.” He was clearly
furious.
