Because in love and war, someone always loses.

It All Began with a Wedding
By H.M. Shander
Main Characters: Theo and Izabella
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
This is a well-written story and the 3rd book in the Accidentally in Love series and the book I have read by this author. I loved the plot and the characters. Isabella inherits her grandfather’s company and comes to find out when she was drunk in Vegas she also got married and she needs an annulment or she will lose half her company shares to her husband. I would say this was a pretty clean romance and delves more on the human side of nature. Theo was sweet and the story seemed to be all about family and doing what is right for her happiness. There is a development towards the end of the book that I certainly did not see coming. Loved it and want to read more by this author.
The stories of these three girlfriends have come full circle as we finally get Izabella’s love story. Her beloved Grandpa dies in an accident, and she inherits his shares in his corporation. Another board member reveals a marriage that she doesn’t remember, and takes control of the company. She doesn’t really want to run the company, but she doesn’t want to lose. She had married someone in Vegas – Theo – while they were both drunk, When she contacts him, he agrees to an annulment in exchange for her attendance with him at a family wedding. She begins to fall in love with him, but puts her family business ahead of him, and goes ahead with the annulment. I thought that I loved the two previous book so much, but this one is my absolute favorite. The story is well written, with wonderful characters and an interesting and unique story line. I read this book in one sitting, with just a short break to get takeout. Izabella is terrific – strong, smart, and a bit misguided for a short while. Theo is the “glass is half-full” guy, seeing the good in a bad situation. He treats Izabella like gold, a real treasure. The Breslin family – what wonderful people. They’re loving and accepting, the family that Izabella didn’t have but always wanted.

When Izabella inherits her grandfathers company she finds out that the drunken wedding she had in Vegas was real and she is actually married to Theo so she must track him down to get it annulled. She runs into a little problem because Theo ask her to meet his family first and that is the beginning of their sober relationship. Great book and characters that keeps you reading.
The third book in the Accidentally in Love series a well written story that held my interest until the end. Izabella Richardson and Theodore Breslin’s story that I enjoyed seeing come together. These two had so much to overcome, and they had to learn to talk to each other. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It All Began with a Wedding by H.M. Shander was an enjoyable story with great character development and an interesting plot. This is the first I have read by this author but it will not be the last. In fact, I plan to check out her backlist.
This was a fast-paced, well-written story that I finished very easily. Theo was a sweetheart and Izabella was definitely in way over her head both personally and professionally. There were definitely some unexpected twists and turns. I loved the message behind the story of following your dreams, not someone else’s.

Content:
This was a very new concept book.
The story follows Izabella. She has just inherited her grandfather’s company after his car accident. But there is a problem. She will only become president of she has the majority of the shares. Turns out she’s married with no prenup. That means her husband will get half of the shares and she will have less shares then the person her grandfather hated. One way to get the majority is by annulling the marriage. And that’s what she sweets of to do.
This novel was a lot of fun to read. It was a sweet family story and was completely devoid of any mature scenes and language. There is a bit suggestive talk but never mind that. I loved Theo. His attitude for anything was always optimistic but not overboard. It was an exciting, intriguing novel that you really couldn’t expect. I am super excited to read more books from this author.

This was a new author for me, and I found the book to be well written with an interesting storyline. I loved Theodore! He was so sweet and such a gentleman. He really tried to make the best of the situation. Izabella’s world had been turned upside down when her grandfather dies in an accident and she is left with a business she knows nothing about. She’s left with little time to make a huge life-changing decision. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Izabella Richardson is about to take over as President of the pharmaceutical company her grandfather started and still worked at until his unexpected death. Now Izabella has inherited her Grandfathers shares and has the controlling interest in the company. That is until Colby Pratt enters the room and presents a marriage license for Izabella and Theodore Breslin a marriage she did not remember entering into.
She married without a prenup which means that her husband now gets 1/2 her shares therefore she no longer has controlling interest. Now she needs to find her “husband” and get their marriage annulled by June 23rd and today is June 11.
This is a beautiful story about family, pride, and deciding the best thing to do for your own happiness.
I volunteered to read and review this well written story.
This is my favorite book by this author. Izabella is a research scientist and inherits her grandfather’s company, when he’s unexpectedly killed in an accident. She’s meeting with the board and learns she’ll be the new president. Colby Pratt enters and says he has information that changes everything. Izabella is married and her husband is entitled to his share. Izabella was so wasted in Vegas that she didn’t remember marrying Dr. Theodore Breslin. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say I loved this story. Grab your copy and see what happens. I bet you’ll love Theo as much as I did.

Great book
The perfect love story, this story is by far one of my favorites. It was as real as the tears that fell while reading. This story was sweet, realistic and made me want to relive falling in love all over again. Izabella and Theo will always be in my heart.
She is having some memories of getting married but now it all seems so real. She needs to get it annulled and quickly. He has one condition and she will do it but things may not be so easy. Will she fall for him? Will she get the annulment? See how she deals with it all

Theo is a gem. Absolutely loved him! He and Izabella are so cute together once they are reunited, despite her efforts to stay distanced while they wait for their annulment hearing. I really loved the characters and the plotline. Great read!
