Take a type-A woman intent on making the new family wedding planning business a success and throw in an unexpected elopement of one member of said family wedding planning business and a substitute officiator with three rambunctious children, and the recipe for entertainment is delicious! Oh, and did I mention this is all during the busy holiday season?

Molly O’Malley has had plenty of failures in her past in both her career and romantic relationships. Owen Caufield has had a successful career, a romantic relationship that crashed and burned, and three children he’s spent very little time with. So when his great uncle asks him to fill in at Sweetheart Ranch as the wedding officiant, he sees it as an opportunity to bond with his kids. He never expected Molly.

There is plenty of head-butting between these two but Owen’s steadfast willingness to offer a hand, as well as his son and two daughters, sneak their way underneath Molly’s guard and straight to her heart.

Cathy McDavid sets up some great wedding s as well as some with moments of disaster, the different reactions from Molly and Owen proving that strong personalities can balance each other out. And when love is involved obstacles to a future are there to be hurdled, not to stop a couple in their tracks.

And while the question of whether these two were going to make it the finish line in their obstacle course, Owen’s perseverance just might push them over it.
