The Bride Next Door (Chapel of Love Book 4) Kindle Edition

USA Today bestselling author Hope Ramsay proves that love arrives when we least expect it.

Courtney Wallace loves her job as a wedding planner, but she's almost given up on her own happily-ever-after. She certainly doesn't it expect to find it with Matthew Lyndon, the hotshot lawyer she overhears taking a bet to seduce her. She's not amused by the challenge, but she decides to play along--after all, what better way to beat him at his own game?

Matt never intended to take the bet seriously. And moving next door wasn't part of his strategy to win-it was just a happy coincidence-but the more he gets to know Courtney, the more intrigued he becomes. When fun and games turn into something real, will these two decide they're in it to win it?

Trust issues are so hard. Matt and Courtney both have been hurt in high school with the horrible ridicule of their classmates. Poor Matt had a girl just looking to have the family last name any way she could get it. So happy they learned to trust each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for love
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018
Shenandoah Falls, Virginia, is far enough away from the DC area to have a small town feel, yet close enough to attract greedy developers who want to make hefty changes to it. The apartment complex in Dogwood Estates is feared to be demolished and the residents driven out. Matthew Lyndon, single at 25, has just started working at the Lyndon family law firm. With Arwen’s help as a paralegal, they try and salvage the lives of those living there. Courtney Wallace, single at 36, believes her chances at finding love and family have slipped away. As an event and wedding planner at Eagle Hill Manor, she can’t help but notice that most of her friends and acquaintances have found true love, gotten married, and either have children or are pregnant. If only she could find someone who wasn’t on her negative-types she has categorized all single men in. Both Courtney and Matt have had past experiences that caused them to not to trust a new relationship, and yet they are attracted to each other. They become closer after Matt moves into the apartment next door. I especially liked the scenes at the Jaybird Cafe and Music Hall, which is the place where most of Courtney’s and Matt’s friends end up at the end of the day. I enjoy the witty humor Hope Ramsay brings to her stories. Serious problems are added with the town attempting to solve them. The Lyndon elders are a challenge to deal with. Their heirs try to break away and make a life of their own, a challenge of its own. This town may be a bit disjointed, but there are some that try to save it for their own future. [I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.]

4.0 out of 5 stars Cynical Romantic meets a Playboy Middle Child
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2023

This was a really fun small town romance featuring a sassy and cynical heroine and a playboy-ish middle child who each have the other ALL wrong. Courtney has placed Matt squarely in the column of the love’em and leave’em type and Matt has earned it. And then some.

But after learning that he bet he could bed the Ice Queen, she decides to give him a taste of his own medicine and that’s where the fun really begins. Though she only really makes them a little tough for him and not for very long, I was happy about that because the attraction and the chemistry was too palpable to keep up the game for too long.

Matt has his own history and it’s not what you’d expect from a player like him. He has a family he doesn’t fit in with and a father he can never make proud, but still he tries and it’s no different with Courtney. She’s smart and funny and lives to torture him, but he doesn’t give up.

Well…

This was pretty much a perfect small town romance. There was plenty of heat, but not too much, lots of laughs and a fun cast of supporting characters, including two adorable kittens. There were a few parts in the middle that meandered a little but I devoured The Bride Next Door in just a day or two.

It's been a while since I’ve read Hope Ramsay but she delivered. Again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can also relate to the walls that build up when love seems to find everyone but you for so long
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018
I admit, this cover drew me in from the start. That plus a heroine who is single amid a sea of married friends and I’m in. I can relate to that woman (having been one of the last of my friends to marry). I can also relate to the walls that build up when love seems to find everyone but you for so long.

Typically, I am not a fan of trope-driven romance (bet, opposites attract), but in this case I went with it and it worked. Hope Ramsay writes with a very nice balance of sweetness, a little snark, and a lot of realism. I knew her ability to flesh out characters and plots would turn what could’ve been a superficial tropey book into something with real meat. And she did!

Yeah, the hero makes a bet to seduce the heroine, and in today’s political climate, that’s tough. But I’m fine with a hero who is kind of a jerk in the beginning of the story if he then realizes the error of his ways and evolves as his feelings for the heroine grow. That’s what we’ve got here, so again, I love it (and I love that he stood up to his family to help some unfortunate tenants, too!). It gets even better because Matthew breaks through Courtney’s walls, one by one, and helps her evolve as well so she can finally give and accept real love.

In the end you have two people who are each better off because of the other, and who earned their HEA. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The games these two play with each other was fun at first but they both learn something from each ...
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018
Courtney is known as the Ice Queen because she is guarded with men and protects her heart. Matt is younger and Courtney thinks of him as a player. Courtney learns about a bet that Matt has going with one of his friends and she goes on a couple of dates with him. After going on a couple of dates with Matt Courtney can tell that sometimes you may not always be right with what category you put people in. The games these two play with each other was fun at first but they both learn something from each other. I loved this book and the story of how you can't always judge a book by it's cover. These characters are so easy to like and you get keep up with the other characters from past books and meet new ones. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
