Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Natasha Madison comes a small-town enemies-to-lovers second-chance romance.

Things are supposed to go smoothly on your wedding day. Aren't they?

Clarabella

Did I want to get married today? It's hard to say when he proposed in front of more than a hundred people. Everything happened so fast, and I thought it was just nerves. It was not. The knock on the door showed me that what I was feeling was more than just cold feet. I was a runaway bride.

Luke

The whole town was busy attending her wedding. She was the one I let get away when I told her our night together was a mistake and then left town. So I planned to spend the weekend getting drunk. When she ran out of the church looking for a hideout, I opened the car door for her. My cabin has one bed, and my longing looks don't mix well. Somehow, I have to keep my heart intact and her reputation together. Maybe she was just mine to cherish.

Clarabella and Luke

Each couple is better than the last. I really enjoy the premise that the siblings run a wedding business and their own first marriage ceremony doesn't happen. Luke and Clarabella are great together. I'm looking forward to the next book. of course, I enjoy listening to Sebastian York and Lauren Sweet narrate.

Luke & Clarabella

We have our next sister's story with the next failed wedding. Clarabella finds out about a secret that her fiance has been keeping and she ends up as a runaway bride. As she runs away, she runs right into the guy who hurt her, that she has been trying to avoid, Luke. They have some stuff to work through but they end up with lots of time to work it out. I really loved Luke and how much he cared even when it was hard for him to show it.

The narrators, Sebastian York and Lauren Sweet, did a fantastic job. They brought all the emotions and the passion that was written in the story. It was super easy to listen to and follow along.

Such a sweet story.

Mine To Cherish is such a sweet story full of laughter between the siblings, heartbreak for Clarabella and her second chance at love. Luke and Clarabella are such sweet and funny characters, all the side characters are hilarious, they make me smile throughout the book. I have to say there’s a certain character I want to throat punch but I digress. This is an easy read but it packs a punch, love it.

Loved

Clarabella has the worst ever wedding day, and she truly escaped a horrible person in Edward. Luke just so happens to be there to save the day, maybe not the person she would want to be there because she is still mad at him and hurt by him, but also - he is just everything she needs and takes her away to his secluded cabin.

Luke just instantly wins me over by being a chef. Talk about how hot when a man can feed you amazing meals. But the way he treats Clarabella it’s perfection as well.

I just love a good story on audio and great narrators too that really bring the characters and story to life and allow you to get lost in it but still able to picture all the details. I flew through this audio in a day and it might just be my new favorite of the series.

Sweet and funny

Perfect this book is sweet and funny 🥰 awesome narration . No BS I love stories with adult situations resolving problems like growing up . This couple is fun and sexy

Favorite of the series so far

Favorite of the series so far ! Liked these narrators much more than book 2- perfect series to just take your mind off things.

Mine to Cherish

Natasha Madison does it again with Book 3 of the Southern Wedding series! I've now read books in multiple series of hers, and this one was by far my favorite! I was wondering how she would introduce the conflict into this story and was shocked with how it played out!! But I truly enjoyed this book so much and I can't wait to dive into book 4!

•Thoughts:
I would like to take a moment and thank Natasha for giving Clarabella the mouth that she had. Clarabella is my freaking soul sister. Lol. I loved her spicy attitude and gave her a hell vibe. She was a full-on bad a$$, and she was a fantastic character. Luke was a knucklehead, and I am glad Clarabella called him out, but I do love their chemistry. I loved how he was there for her! It made my heart melt! Luke was sweet and new how to match her firey nature! They made me giggle and swoon all at the same time. Don't worry, my book friends. I plowed through this book as well, started last bight, and finished earlier this morning. and I am on to the next one! 😉😆😍

Narrators:
Sebastian York and Lauren Sweet...... loved them!! Loved them!!!

we love a runaway bride!!!!

Clarabella was about to walk down the aisle when her whole world gets turned upside-down. you could tell that at the beginning there was hesitation from her about getting married. but she was committed to it. she gets a visitor at the venue that has her running away and not wanting to be anywhere near it. she runs into Luke in the parking lot. they have been friends for a long time, but he has been gone for the last 6 months. Luke got a chance to work with a chef in NYC and left for a while, but the timing was that he left after they spent one night together. there was a lot of good banter between the two of them. you can tell that they were both fighting the attraction that was still there. there was a lot of learning and growing that they needed to do, but I really enjoyed their story. this whole family is so great!

4.5 stars

Natasha definitely has a special gift in her writing. She gives the right amount of passion, sex and the everyday stuff to me to actually visualize her stories.
Thank you!
