Blurb/Summary:

Jordan Harrison no longer trusts relationships, so when her widowed mother is swept away by a handsome, wealthy architect, Jordan fears the hasty engagement will end in disaster. After all, how well can her mother know the guy after only a few months? Intent on saving her mother from certain heartbreak, Jordan races to Breckenridge Manor to delay the wedding, but runs into more than she’s bargained for—a handsome, understanding man intent on helping her heal past wounds and open her mind to new possibilities.
Known as the man with nerves of steel, Tanner Breckenridge lives up to his reputation, but it doesn’t take long for him to discover he has a soft spot for Jordan Harrison, the daughter of his father’s future bride. Loyal to his father, but captivated by Jordan, Tanner puts his heart on the line and risks everything for a chance at love.

Review:

Sometimes, a change of heart takes time. You have to learn to heal, trust, and forgive. For Jordan Harrison, that isn't an easy thing to do. When she learned her ex-fiancĂ©’s true colors, she was burned from any relationships, and she couldn't understand how her mother could marry a man so soon after knowing him in such little time.

Both Jordan and Tanner were closed off in the beginning of this story. Jordan, distrusting, slightly cynical, and weary. Tanner hid from his emotions and looked for love in the wrong way, afraid to trust his instincts. Despite their opposite opinions on the marriage of Jordan's mom and Tanners dad, they start to enjoy each other’s company, and begin to harbor feelings for one another.

Add in a brother who is angry and who would do anything to stop the wedding. Tanner's younger brother Kyle. Then, add in some magic moments that find a way for a woman to change her heart and her mind, and you get Reluctant Bridesmaid. This book is sweet and engaging. Wendy Daly delivers a poignant story of second chances, and learning to trust and love again.
