Once Upon a Wedding Story Synopsis
Cassie Anderson, bridesmaid extraordinaire, is tired of attending her friend’s weddings
either solo, or with her best friend, Thad. Finding a real date is simply too much work.
Especially when she sees an old acquaintance from high school, Dan, at her friend Shelley’s
wedding. After the spark shared between them, Dan has become the object of her affection.
Too bad he has a nasty habit of having a date on his arm at every turn. Stealing another
woman's date is against the rules, but if she could just catch him alone…well, that would be fair game! Unfortunately, timing is everything, and she and Dan seem
to have the worst. Always the bridesmaid, walking away with nothing more than a dreadful dress,
Cassie is committed to changing her luck and getting her man.
Every Other Wedding Synopsis
Cassie Anderson has been the girl of Dan’s dreams since high school. Unfortunately, her
return to his life comes at the worst time possible. As he tries to put his life back together,
he keeps an eye on her, hoping to find her single at the right time. A time when it all hurts a
bit less. A time when he can offer her all of the love she deserves. After three weddings of
happenstance meetings, Dan finds himself to be a little more ready for everything that is
Cassie. Putting himself out there, he can only hope she is everything he thinks she might
be — his forever girl.
Anything but a Wedding
Thad never expected to find anyone who meant more to him than his best friend, Cassie.
She was the one woman he loved enough not to sleep with. He was a player, but an honest
one. Unfortunately, not everyone felt that balanced out his love 'em and leave 'em ways.
He just didn't see a need to settle down — yet. Then, he met Brianna, who made him think
about the future — a future with her — which was a new experience for Thad. Brianna is
also a new kind of woman and convincing her that they have a future might just be the
challenge of his life.
Not One More Wedding
Brianna works through men like she works through her closet — seasonally. Any other way
has always been trouble. When she meets Thad, she is thrilled. Not only does he intrigue and
excite her, but he is just like her — noncommittal. He sets her on fire with his smooth talk and
honest approach to dating. Even without being physical beyond a kiss, the thought of him
makes her entire body hum. Except, Thad has gone and gotten attached to her in a way neither
of them expected; attached in a way she simply cannot allow. Unfortunately, he won't allow
their relationship to become physical until she surrenders her heart to him, which is a battle
she isn’t sure she can win. The longer it lasts, the less sure she becomes of wanting it to.

All of the books were good. I enjoyed them. My biggest issue with them is that they are very repetitive. The first two books are not as bad. You get some of the same story from book 1 but you get a more in depth look into Dan's life. Book 4 however to me seems to be the exact same story as book 3 with a few extra scenes. I think Thad and Bri's story would have been better if it had been one book with both points of view. With all of that said I do recommend reading!
Excerpt from Once Upon a Wedding Book One:
“Cassie. Cassie, did you see who’s here?” Shelley tugged at her skirt, trying to get her
attention directed toward the back of the church.
“What’s the matter with you?” she asked Shelley and then turned to face the back of the
church. “Ohh, now I see what you mean.”
“And yet, you ignored me,” Thad said from the other side.
She just blew him off with a wave. He would get over it in two seconds or less anyway.
There he stood, looking as dapper as a GQ cover. His suit was a very nice shade of blue,
with a white shirt and what appeared to be a pinstripe tie. By the time Shelley had gotten
her attention, he had already selected a pew and scooted by people for a seat. The most
important thing Cassie noticed was his lack of a date.
Who doesn’t take their fiancée to a wedding?
This could be a good sign. Of course, she would have to do some more investigating before
she determined whether he had a single status at this point, or remained affianced. It then
dawned on her that she, herself, had brought a date to the wedding. She took her eyes off
Dan long enough to glance over at Thad, currently very busy staring at the legs of the
woman next to him.
Boy, can I pick ‘em. Even my pretend boyfriends are losers.
“Thad, do you think you could be a little more discrete about your appreciation for our
neighbor there?” she asked through gritted teeth, trying to keep her disdain to a low roar.
“Oh, shit, I’m sorry Cassie. But did you see her calves? I swear, it’s just a professional
thing,” he said this with the gigolo grin, his specialty, one that hardly ever worked on Cassie.
Hardly ever.
“If this is where you tell me how you’re a critic and you were just admiring her legs in a
professional manner, don’t bother,” Cassie uttered in her most stern, yet quiet, voice. “You
\critique the arts, Thad, her legs are not performing.”
“I could argue that point, but seeing how your face is scrunching up at me, I won’t. You’re
right, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”
Thad did his best to appear remorseful and even went so far as to kiss her forehead and
squeeze her hand. She did not squeeze back.
To Cassie’s way of thinking, the fact that he had been holding her hand the whole time,
including while checking out the lady’s legs next to them, made it a little worse. What
could she say, though, considering she had been waiting and hoping for the appearance
of another man?
She turned her head and caught Dan glancing in her direction. His mouth immediately
curved up into a smile and he waved in Cassie’s direction. Cassie returned the smile and
raised her left hand to reciprocate the wave, realizing she’d brought Thad’s hand along
with her. Making it obvious that she had brought a date to the wedding, she immediately
dropped Thad’s hand. Too late. She knew Dan had seen already.
Damn it!
