I really loved Connor and Jojo’s story in My Quickie Wedding by Christie Ridgway, the third book in her Heartbreak Hotel series. It was instant attraction between Connor and JoJo which caused these two to impulsively say “I Do” in front of an Elvis impersonator. Jojo could not believe she married in haste again, it not being that long since her recent divorce. She figured she could get in touch with her lawyer and end this arrangement, but in the meantime she would hide out at her aunt’s inn. With a little help, Connor finally locates Jojo and is not on the same page about ending this marriage. Deciding to also stay at the inn and help Jojo, Connor finds there is so much more to Jojo than he first thought. Jojo also discovers that Connor is not all that she expected. Maybe staying married could be the beginning of a wonderful and happy future.
Ms. Ridgway is a wonderful story teller, wrote an emotionally rich and moving story filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters that are not to be missed. I highly recommend My Quickie Wedding to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
I loved everything about this quick, fun, exciting read by Christie Ridgway. Finally we are getting Connor and JoJo’s story. I loved everything about this book. These two make the most irresponsible decision ever…they get married…in Vegas…and neither remembers it. I found myself laughing out loud through this story. These two really do have amazing chemistry.
I’m so happy we got to see these two as a couple. They fought it for so long, but are they still??? I’m not telling. Check out this fun story.
This was a fun, well-written book. Jojo Thatcher and Connor Montgomery were instantly attracted to each other and after one crazy night they woke to realize they had gotten married in Las Vegas! Now what? Jojo doesn’t want another failure to recover from so she runs, but Connor follows, and suggests they might want to give this sudden marriage a chance. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more stories by this author.
When Connor and Jojo wake up after finding themselves married, neither seem to know what to do. Both think they should get divorced but as they spend more time together, their connection seems to grow stronger. The story is a fun read and continues the couples who meet at The Hathaway. I’m looking forward to the next couple that meets there. I received an advance copy for an honest review.
Fun, sweet, heartwarming romance!
Connor and JoJo spend a magical night together, ending with a quickie wedding in Vegas. Once they’re back to their normal lives, however, the magic is difficult to maintain amid all the doubts and insecurities. Their plans to proceed with a divorce are hampered by Connor’s reluctance to let JoJo go, but he’s got an uphill battle trying to convince JoJo that theirs is a marriage worth pursuing.
The timeline of this story somewhat overlaps that of the previous book, which detailed the romance of Connor’s sister, Audra, and JoJo’s cousin, Kane. But since this story is told from the viewpoint of the new couple, the familiar scenes feel fresh and help to tie the combined timeline together.
This is a beautiful love story, filled with humor and heart and plenty of heat. Connor is a true sweetheart, going the distance in his pursuit of true love with JoJo. JoJo’s hurts are understandable, and it was heartwarming to see her bravely overcome her past and place her faith in her future with Connor. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This was a fun & flirty little read about how impulses & quick decisions can lead to lasting happiness. Instant attraction can get you in a lot of trouble. Connor & JoJo find out just how true that is when they find themselves in Las Vegas & married. JoJo doesn’t want to acknowledge it & runs to her aunt’s b&b. Connor follows her but isn’t interested in dissolving the marriage.
This was a fun story to read. The dialogue was snappy & sarcastic at times but it easily fit the situations. I loved the way JoJo snapped back at Connor & didn’t let him get away with anything. The characters are well developed & fun to get to know. This was a great addition to the series.
This quick read is book three in this series. The fun story line offered a good balance of heat and heart. It was very easy to root for Jojo and Connor. They share great chemistry and are both very likable. Sweetness and cuteness are served alongside of drama and emotional turmoil. An excellent read and great addition to this series.
For fans of Ms. Ridgway this is a quick, hot and fun read. This is book number three in the “Heartbreak Hotel” series and the series just keeps getting better and hotter! We meet Connor Montgomery and Jojo Thatcher who met in the bar at the Dragonfly Beach Resort. On a dare (or maybe a bet?) they decide to see who can get to Las Vegas from Santa Barbara in the shortest amount of time. After a night of gambling, Jojo wakes up the next morning to find herself in bed with Connor (Audra’s brother from Mr. and Mrs. Jones)! Not only have they slept together, but they are married! Jojo heads for her aunt’s B&B to give herself time to decide what to do. Her family does not know about this and she doesn’t want them to find out. Connor arrives there figuring that they need to talk about a divorce…but maybe not? The attraction between the two has been “sizzling” since they first met and maybe they need to get to know each other better and give this marriage a try? A really enjoyable addition to the series. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
Sometimes you just need a read that makes you feel good and My Quickie Wedding delivers the goods. JoJo and Connor are a dose of heartache Ridgway style. Let the healing begin. The Hathaway is the perfect place to mend a broken heart and share a lifetime of memories. It’s stories like the Heartbreak Hotel series that serve to remind us why despite age our hearts never outgrow the fairytale. Keep it coming.
Favorite Quotes:
That aghast expression would make any man take off, even as he’d briefly hoped—like an idiot—that the previous hours had all been a teenage-style wet dream followed by the kind of nightmare where you had to take a test buck naked in a language you’d never studied.
I’m your time and place, Jojo. I’m your person to share things with, sad and happy and all that’s in between.
My Review:
This installment was fast-paced, scorching the sheets sexy, a quick and easy read, and such a pleasant way to spend the part of the afternoon. I enjoyed Jojo and Connor as a couple, the instalove trope worked perfectly for them as they had more natural chemistry than they knew what to do with. Their story moved along at a brisk pace yet even had time for brief glimpses of the previous pairings from books one and two. The Heartbreak Hotel’s reputation for love connections remains safe and well-merited.

Each book of The Heartbreak hotel series is a humorous, delightful romance. The characters are appealing and the narrative written in a light witty manner. This story occurs at the same time as the other two, intertwining all three. We find out why Connor Montgomery and Jojo Thatcher have been acting so strange. While Connor was supposed to be keeping an eye on Audra after she was left at the alter via a text, he and Jojo end up together at the bar after her and Alex’s parents’ anniversary party. A bet lead to the two of them in Vegas and then married. Jojo flees the next morning and Connor hunts her down to her aunt’s B&B, where he ends up helping her. While the original intent was to file for a divorce, Connor discovers that he has fallen in love with his wife. Can he convince her to give their marriage a shot?
I received a free, advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my unbiased and voluntary review. Since the three books are intertwined, I do not suggest reading this book as a stand-alone, but they should be read in order as released.
What a fun read! Quick, sweet story, it’s packed with a little bit of everything, humor, romance, steaminess and feels, great read. Con went to support his sister after her breakup and ended up married. Jojo can’t believe she woke up married in Vegas, now she’s looking are a second divorce and runs to her aunt’s B&B for a little thinking time, but when Con shows up helps her and supports her it’s hard to bring up divorce. With steamy heat still alive and well, Con and Jojo have a lot to figure out.
