Planning the most-talked-about wedding of the year is enough to break engineer Frith Taylor out in a cold sweat. She's used to construction sites, not wedding fairs! But estate manager George Challoner's offer of help is one that's too good to resist. George may be the rebel of the prestigious Challoner family, but his insanely good looks are giving Frith wedding fever! Charm personified, he's making her feel things she hasn't dared feel before. Maybe her little sister's wedding won't be the only one Frith's planning...?
Personal Thoughts
From time to time, I look for cute contemporaries to read in order to lighten my mood after a bad day. Hitched was the perfect cute contemporary because it oozed adorableness. It might be very predictable, but in the end it was just for entertainment.
Hitched! tells the story of Frith Taylor, an engineer, whose baby sister asks her to plan her wedding party. With the help of George, the uptight Frith, manages to plan the party, and along the way falling in love with him.
Frith was a very career-driven woman. She knew exactly what she wanted out of her life and she planned everything carefully. Yes, she has planned 5 years into her future. An engineer, she's incredibly smart and logical. Before she made any kind of decision, she reflected the outcome and then planned. I liked that she was this goal-oriented, ambitious woman who knew what she wanted for herself, but at times I did think she thought too much into her future. Her ardent nature stemmed from her rich father who didn't pay enough attention to her except only to gift her money, which she clearly did not want. I also really liked that Frith didn't accept her dad's money, but instead wanted to stand up for herself. George, on the other hand, was much more of a free spirit. He was spontaneous and very open, not hesitating to speak out his mind. Fun and at the same time irksome, he loved to annoy a defensive Frith. He liked to push her buttons, forcing her to let go a little and have a great time. He was not without his secrets and once his secrets were brought out into the open, my respect for his character grew because it shed so much light on his integrity and honesty.
The relationship between Frith and George was like a yo-yo. It went back and forth with Frith flustered with her growing feelings for George. She wasn't very used to men vying for her attention and has always made sure that no feelings were involved when she was in a relationship. Over the course of the book, Frith learned to open up to George. I thought that the banter between them was really fun. They poke fun at each other and I really enjoyed them as a couple. Of course, the book was very predictable, but I honestly did not care because it was so much fun to read and once in a while it's relaxing to indulge in such books!
If you're looking for a cute, fun read with spunky characters, Hitched is the perfect read for you!
