Planning for Love by Christi BarthISBN:  9781426894213Ivy Rhodes is the wedding planner and no mishaps ever occur at them, as per her order and calm.The bride won the contest where the Wild Wedding Smackdown was to film her wedding. When Ivy falls down a few steps Bennett Westcott from True Life Productions rescues her and hopes she won't sue them as it was his camera bag she had stumbled over.As the day goes on he dwells into how she can remain so calm throughout all the mishaps that occur and she tells and explains how she is able to do the whole thing without any visible signals to her other staff.He loves the behind the scenes information from her.After hot steamy sex that they connect on all levels she takes him out for the day and they thoroughly enjoy themselves and learn more about one another. He leaves in a hurry as he knows it's only a one night deal.Love the scenery and landmarks that are highlighted of Chicago.The TV company does track her down with an offer to follow her around the tape the weddings she plans for others. It will give her enough to fund her store which she already has ideas for. It's a gamble and even her associates think it's a good one.She is more than surprised when she finds that Ben and his assistant will be the ones to tape the show. Her assistant has to step in and inform her that she needs to stop wanting to go to bed with Ben and concentrate on the weddings.He is there to see how problems are handled and he asks later how she does it and she tells him. She does not want to have a replay of his earlier one night stand, she says he's a player and she doesn't want to be played.Ben tries to out run his problem, and then the manager finds him trying to outrun his problems and he's not a runner. Talking to the manager helps a bit but he can't get her out of his mind.Love how there are essentially just the two of them and a handful of other workers in this book, very easy to keep track of who's who.Love all the marriage quotes from famous people at the start of every chapter.Potential disaster from the TV show and now the wedding, she can't take much more but Ben has something up his sleeve...He tells her about the family curse and she kinda thinks it not believable at all...
