Review: The Bridal Suite – Rochelle Alers

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Bestselling author Rochelle Alers’ returns to romantic New Orleans in this uplifting series featuring four very different friends embarking on the dream of a lifetime . . .

With her besties in the Big Easy, Nydia Santiago is second-guessing staying behind in New York City. So when Jasmine Washington calls with the exciting news that she’s getting married, Nydia happily rushes to New Orleans to be her maid of honor. Once she visits the lovely Garden District estate her friends are transforming into a luxury inn, she’s wistful to join them in their venture. Then she meets the sexy engineer in charge of the renovation. With his seductive Southern drawl, Lamar Pierce could make her believe in love again . . .

Lamar is confident, responsible, and settled—everything her ex, an aspiring Latin music singer, wasn’t. But Lamar is also a widowed father to a pre-teen girl in need of a mother, something Nydia’s not ready to be. When her ex makes a very public proposal, suddenly Nydia is running from the paparazzi—straight into Lamar’s arms. But is she ready to take the leap from singlehood to wife and mother?. . .

This is the fourth book in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. I plan on reading them all. I really enjoyed this story about Nydia, who has had two failed relationships and was not interested in a new one. When she meets a widower while attending her best friend’s wedding in New Orleans, neither she nor Lamar expected attraction between each other.

I enjoyed the way their story unfolds. The writing is tight, and the story checks all the boxes you look for in a romance. If you want to read a good story that includes romance, this is the book for you.
