Justin has been given a spy mission of his own and reluctantly agrees to let Evie use the place while he completes his business using all the wedding activities as a cover. The characters come back together in adulthood because Evie wants to use Justin's crumbling manor to host a major society wedding that could redeem the wedding business she is running. This nickname stays throughout the novel and even has a few touching little inside jokes. For example, Evie assumes Powell is a womanizer (refreshingly, he is not) and Powell views Evie as his little "owlet" because of her small stature, dark hair, and inquisitiveness. ![]() Here, Brockway did a beautiful job of developing the characters and setting the stage for some of the preconceived notions that would color the characters' perspectives when they meet again as adults. ![]() I LOVE when stories give me a glimpse of a characters' interaction when they are younger. The book opens with a touching scene between a young fifteen-year-old Evie and an adult, but still young, Powell. It features Evelyn Cummings Whyte, who is trying to maintain her aunt's bridal planning business, and Justin Powell, a spy masquerading as a slightly vacuous man. I read this with Andrea as a buddy read and in a rare moment, we both came away from the read happy! Yay!īridal Favors is the second book in Connie Brockway's Bridal Stories duo. ![]()
