![A Christmas Wedding: A snowy London love story (Rory & Jack Book 3) by [Ryecart, A E]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51NjL9tA2rL.jpg)
What began as a tender and tame story of finding the person meant to open the way from painful past experiences to contentment and love has now become a healing journey of finding a heart's true home and all the crazy complications that go along with that. Carving out your own forever isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, especially when stronger personalities get in the mix. Seeing Jack and Rory not only forge a stronger bond together, but also find their ideal balance was a perfect way to continue their story.
Rory and Jack have come a long way and all the steam we didn't get on their first Christmas is here in spades. In that department they never have any issues. I did find that the issues they did have mostly revolved around Rory's insecurities. Yes, his struggle with the wedding plans were there, but that was a minor issue when compared to his near constant comparisons of his upbringing versus Jack's.
There was a surprise bit in there that really helped Rory to come to terms with everything and while I thought it was pretty appropriate for his part in the story, I kind of found it to be a bit ... sappy? I don't know how to adequately describe how I felt about that meeting, but I suppose it ended fine because it gave both closure and opened a future connection that had been missing in Rory's life until now. I just felt like it was used to "heal" him rather than him finding a way to give himself the eye-opening realization he needed to see the truth of his connection with Jack rather than the trappings that were an issue from the very start of their relationship.
Coming around full-circle to the holiday that brought them together, this was a very sweet story that shows how important love is, that without it it wouldn't matter how beautiful the season, how tacky the trimmings, or how sweet the frosting. What mattered most to Rory and Jack were the simple things that gave their love uniqueness and longevity. Communication was still a bit of an issue along with a few other bumps along their road, but their love and commitment smoothed them all out and gave them the fortitude to build a very sweet life together.

Christmas. A Wedding. Family. It’s the Perfect Storm…
For Rory Kincaid marrying Jack, the youngest son of the aristocratic De Lacy family, on Christmas Eve, is a dream come true. Handing over the wedding planning to Jack’s mother, the strong-willed Lady Diana, is turning out to be more of a nightmare.
As their big day approaches, the pressure’s on and the strain is beginning to show. Announcements in society magazines, a guest list that’s growing and growing, and fittings for the best bespoke tailoring in London, it’s all a far cry from Rory’s humble upbringing. Piece by piece, Rory and Jack’s dream of a simple winter wedding is fading fast.
Rory is Jack’s everything. Sweet, kind, and totally adorable, Rory is all Jack has ever wanted. And what Jack wants most of all is to give the man he loves the wedding day of his dreams — which means taking a stand against the indomitable Diana.
I love all kinds of MM romance and gay fiction, but I especially like contemporary stories. Born and raised in London, the city is part of my DNA so I like to set many of my stories in and around present-day London, providing the perfect, metropolitan backdrop to the main action. I write at home, in the gym, in cafés —in fact I write any place I can find a good coffee!
