Hi
everyone!
I'm
so happy to have with me today my friend and fellow Crimson Romance sister, Robyn
Neeley. Robyn's debut novel, Destination
Wedding was released 10 June 2013. I just loved this funny, fast past, charming
romance. There is this certain towel incident in the hallway outside a hotel
room that had me spewing my coffee and laughing till it hurt. Here is what the
reviewers are saying about Destination Wedding.
·
Robyn
Neeley pens a charming tale. I adored Destination Wedding and the memorable
characters hidden behind the gorgeous cover.
·
This
was a fast and fun read! It reminded me of a 1950s/60s romantic comedy with
Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
·
Loved
this mistaken identity rom-com! Fast-paced, clever, funny and romantic, this
book is the perfect summer read! Highly recommend to all who love witty
romances.
Robyn
has asked me to give you a little peak into Destination Wedding. She invited one
of her hilarious characters, Miles Payne to be interviewed by me. Miles is our
heroine, Kate Ashby's assistant, and he had a front row seat of all that went on
between Kate, the hero, Luke Cannon, and his identical twin brother, Drew. To set
the stage, here is a brief blurb of Destination Wedding.
Wedding
planner Kate Ashby’s fear of flying is eased by a sexy stranger and one slow
lip lock that rockets her into another obit.
CEO
Luke Cannon has just traded seats with his identical twin. Little did he know
that an innocent kiss while pretending he was his brother would soon create
havoc.
What
happens in the air doesn’t stay up there. Once on tropical land, Kate believes
that the handsome stranger who gave her the best kiss of her life is now her
new client, Drew Cannon, fiancé to the beautiful and wealthy Lauren Kincaid.
While Kate struggles with the intense feelings she thinks she has for Drew,
Luke discovers Kate’s been hired to plan his brother’s destination wedding. He
also realizes the initial sparks they shared 30,000 feet up are now mistakenly
aimed at Drew. Can Luke get Kate to realize that the feelings she has are for
him? He’s got forty-eight hours in paradise to try.
What Really
Happened in the Air? An Interview with Miles Payne, Assistant to Kate Ashby in Destination Wedding by Robyn Neeley
Miles:
“Nancy, Love! Aloha! Thanks for having me. I’m having so much fun talking about Destination Wedding. Have you read it yet? Was I your favorite character?”
“Nancy, Love! Aloha! Thanks for having me. I’m having so much fun talking about Destination Wedding. Have you read it yet? Was I your favorite character?”
Nancy:
Miles:
“Oh, do I! Apparently instead
of licking wedding invitation envelopes, my boss was licking other things way
up there. What do you want to know?”
Nancy:
“Let’s talk about Chapter
One. We know that Kate was kissed silly by Luke Cannon who pretended to be his
twin brother, Drew. Did she tell you what happened when she landed?”
Miles:
“Not at first, but I knew
something was up. She tried to deny it. Please. She wasn’t fooling me for a
second. I knew from the silly grin on her face, the stains on her dress, and the
evidence sticking out of her bag she’d gotten an invitation to join the Mile
High Club. I was so proud of her!”
Nancy:
“What did you think of Luke and Drew?”
Miles:
“Idiots. (Laughs) I’m kidding. Luke’s great. He should have come clean from the very beginning. It caused all of us angst believing Kate made out with our new client. I guess conflict sells books, and I wouldn’t be sitting here if my boss’s fear of flying hadn’t caused Drew to go insane that he forced Luke to switch seats with him.”
Nancy:
“And what about Drew?”
Miles:
“Honestly? We don’t care for each other. He’s annoyed that I’ve become close with his fiancée, Lauren. (Leans in and whispers). Robyn hinted to me earlier that Lauren and I might become roommates in the sequel. That will drive Drew over the edge. Ooooh I hope he reads this!”
Nancy:
“Speaking of Lauren, you two got in a little bit of trouble on Waikiki Beach. What were you thinking?”

Nancy:
“Speaking of Lauren, you two got in a little bit of trouble on Waikiki Beach. What were you thinking?”
Miles:
“I blame Kate for that. My marching orders from her were clear. SPF 4 for Lauren and no tan lines. No tiny bikini strap lines were going to appear near Lauren’s cleavage on my watch! How was I suppose to know she was allergic to the sun? She didn’t say anything—it probably also had something to do with our endless supply of piña coladas and my actually not opening the bottle of suntan lotion. Kate’s forgiven me for my brief lack in judgment; although, I don’t think I’ll be assigned to the Pitt/Jolie wedding anytime soon.”

Nancy:
“How Kate discovered that it was Luke that kissed her into another orbit on that flight and not Drew was quite brilliant, yes?”
Miles:
“Well, I wasn’t there, but from what I’ve heard it was quite a scene. Kate’s lucky Lauren didn’t drown her in the ocean! Honestly, I don’t know what Kate was thinking.”
Nancy:
“Will you be planning Kate’s wedding?”
Miles:
“She wouldn’t dare have anyone else do it. It’s going to be one spectacular party in New York City, and you’re all invited! So is Adam Levine if you can get word to him! (Robyn made me say that!)”
