I thought this was a cute romance, The embargo allowed Skylar and Elliot to allowed them to really deepened their friendship before they became lovers, It also allowed Elliot to really examine what he was looking for in life, The only thing I would have liked a bit more of was the bedroom scenes, They are pretty much fade to black, The chemistry between the couple was really strong so I disappointed that we didn't get more on the front, Along with the sweet romance, the book has great characters, The relationship between Skylar and her friends was endearing, I looked forward to seeing them get their HEAs, I have to say that I loved Elliot's grandparents toward the end, They were adorable. I also loved what he did for Skylar at the party, I do recommend this one, It was a great way to start off the series, The Engagement Embargo is book one in the Meet Me at the Altar Series, what a great start this read is and Im now very excited as to what Ms Chase has in store for the next instalment.
Elliott Sullivan is a hopeless romantic, he is in love with love and desperate to find true love and happiness but four broken engagements later, he realises he needs to do what his family and friends have been urging him to do and thats play the field, have some fun without putting his heart on the line.

The problem here is what happens when feelings come into play, will Elliott or Skylar risk the friendship to cross the line to become lovers,
This book ticked all my boxes, I swooned and I sighed, I smiled and I giggled, I fell hook, line and sinker for this couple and the secondary characters abd I cant wait for the next book in this series.
