Award-winning author Karina Bliss launches her Special Forces series with a sweet, funny, growing-from-tragedy, kind of steamy friends-to-lovers romance.Love heals all wounds…Special Forces soldier Dan Jansen has come home from Afghanistan with one objective: to marry Josephine Swann. First he has to convince his childhood friend that their marriage ‘agreement,’ a tipsy scrawl on a beer coaster … their marriage ‘agreement,’ a tipsy scrawl on a beer coaster three years ago, is binding. And that platonic love is enough to build a passionate future on.
Protect those you love…
Jo has only thought of Dan ‘that way’ once; the night before a surgery that changed her life forever. Friendship is all she has to offer as she struggles to care for her grandmother and resurrect her business.
Both have wounds only the other can heal. But that requires surrendering their secrets. Can two best friends create a love story for the ages?

“Karina Bliss is an excellent writer whose plots are so complex and her characters so realistic that readers are given much more than cookie cutter rehashes of classic stories. Also, her solutions to the problems are unique…” Desert Isle Keeper. www.likesbooks.com.
“I’ve announced the next book club pick: Karina Bliss’ Here Comes the Groom, and it’s lovely fun reading. I would venture to say it causes one to be washed on the warm baking sands of love’s splendid shores of good reading bliss…” Smart Bitches Love Trashy Books.
“If I had to summarize what I think the skill of a good romance author is, then it is this ability. To use what everyone loves about the romance genre, without letting those conventions take over. And you do this really well.” Dear Author.

It was just okay to me, he didn’t persuade me that he was actually in love with the heroin.It just seemed like the couple got together out of convenience.
A cute story, but kind of slow-moving…
It was good until it wasn’t. The storyline was interesting. They were friends since childhood. He went off to the Special Forces and she resigned herself to work. He lost members of his team in an op gone bad and realized he wanted to marry her. She is very resistant as she feels he is marrying her for the wrong reasons. The book was good until the end where, in my opinion, it just fell apart and got silly.
Romantic with some interesting twists!
Too long & drawn out but ok book to read!
Terrible book
There was too much going on in this book. I have read others by the author and really liked them but this one not as much. It’s not bad. It is well written. Taken individually I liked the characters. Just all together I thought it was too much
Jo and Dan had more issues than People magazine. They faced death, dementia, divorce, depression, PTSD, and survivor’s guilt. Instead of adding more problems there should have been more character development. I would not recommend this book.
I loved the way it all turned out. Great suprise
Meh. New Zealand setting but read as American through and through.
Good reading
A bit too depressing for light reading.
