Christmas. A Wedding. Family. It’s the Perfect Storm… 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.
***Warning: this story contains two gorgeous men, a mountain of festive food, a punk rocker Christmas fairy called Bunty, and a snowy Christmas Wedding. No cliff hangers, and one hundred percent Happy Ever After guaranteed.***

This one brought tears to me, I won’t say which part as I’m sure you will know when you hear it. I love the nod to the other book series Barista Boys, if you haven’t read those then download them today.
Jack and Rorys story comes to a beautiful conclusion. With a few ohhs and ahhs on the way. A little twist in the middle. A pushy mother in law to be, Lady Diana is a true force of nature. I have truly loved this series and can’t wait to read the next series. Dan Calley did a sterling job as always with this book.
A Christmas Wedding was the third book in the Rory and Jack series and it is a sweet and fluffy conclusion to the trilogy. Rory and Jack have everything they want: they are in love and own their own successful business. There is some drama with the wedding and family matters, but all in all, this final book is just full of sweetness and fluff. It was a perfect Christmas story.
The audiobook was narrated by Dan Calley who did a great job with the audiobook. Dan voiced each character perfectly and really brought to life all the joy and drama of the story. The audiobook production was well done and it made for a fantastic listening experience.
Jack and Rory are so sweet and loving together. This book is full of love and family. With their upcoming wedding and the success of their bakery Rory is stressful. All that Rory and Jack want is a small wedding with their closest family and friends. With Jack’s mother taking over the weddings they are a little worried about how it will turn out, but it turns out lovely with a wonderful happy ending. I definitely recommend this book. It is such a marvelous sweet love story.

Wonderful story, characters and audio performance!
I love everything that this author has written but have to admit that the Rory & Jack series may be my favorite, or at least tied with Barista Boys. A Christmas Wedding was brought to life all over again for me by the talented Dan Calley. He had me in tears more than once and I am so happy I listened to this book!
I pretty much said it all when I reviewed the eBook back in November 2019. My review from then is shown below.
I really love Rory and Jack.
I fell in love with Rory and Jack a year ago when Ms. Ryecart wrote her first Christmas story, A Kiss Before Christmas. Next, she wrote a follow-up Easter story for them, An Easter Promise, which I also loved.
A Christmas Wedding has Rory and Jack getting ready for their big day, a simple wedding on Christmas Eve. Things don’t go exactly as planned after Rory and Jack agree to let Jack’s mother handle the wedding arrangements. You really can read this book as a standalone but you will be missing a couple of great stories if you don’t read books one and two first.
The blurb for the book gives you the details you need. The other things you need to know are how absolutely devoted to one another Jack and Rory are. They’ve made a good life in the two years they’ve been together and their business is flourishing.
Ms. Ryecart usually likes to have a good bit of angst in her stories so a part of me kept waiting for something big to happen. I don’t think it’s spoiling anything to say that there is no major angsty event – just a few little bumps in the road – enough to keep things interesting.
The last few chapters of this story really got to me and started the happy tears flowing. There is the best surprise ever during the wedding but I’m not telling what it is.

A Christmas Wedding by A E Ryecart is book number three in the Rory and Jack series.
This is a sweet series of two people from very different backgrounds. Christmas time is a special time for Rory and Jack since they met during the Christmas holidays. Their bakery is doing well but with a higher demand due to the holidays and getting ready for a wedding Rory is feeling stressed out. Jack’s mom is taking care of the wedding plans and things are getting out of hand. Rory feels that they won’t get their small intimate wedding. Rory and Jack are perfect for one another. I enjoyed their heartwarming story.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
