Genre: Clean Romantic Comedy

He's a celebrity baseball player.  She's an event planner with a secret crush-on him.


Arielle:
My old high school crush just hired me. Me, the awkward, studious 4.0 student who spewed fire retardant all over him when he set the chemistry lab on fire. I doubt he remembers me because he went on to score a major league baseball contract. Can I plan his party, while keeping my heart safe from his magnetic charm that I unfortunately still find irresistible?

Griff:
I wasn't expecting to recognize my new party planner. She’s the pint-sized dynamo that could win a debate against Abraham Lincoln. I’ve always been overwhelmed by her brains and her beauty. Grams and Gramps deserve a spectacular party—I hired Arielle because she’s the best in the business, but she intrigues me beyond “just business” and now I’m determined to win her heart.

You’ll laugh out loud as Arielle and Griff work together to get ready for a party in a crumbling Victorian mansion with one unforeseen disaster after another.

Can the endearingly awkward party planner and the charming baseball star find their HEA?

A plethora of quirky side characters—along with two grandparents who aren’t shy about offering dating advice—add to the fun in this rollicking, humorous Rom Com that will tug your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone.

Planning for the All-Star is Book 3 in the hilarious new romantic comedy series Too Busy for Love. If you love Hallmark movies with the perfect blend of laugh-out-loud scenes and heart-touching moments, this book is for you. Fans of Emma St. Clair, Ellie Hall, and Savannah Scott will enjoy this new series of clean and wholesome stories filled with romance and comedy. This full-length novel may be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW

The Too Busy for Love series has been so much fun to read!!  Planning for the All-Star is the third novel in the series that showcases the final sibling of the Too Busy team, party planner Ari Warner.  I have loved getting to know each sibling, but Ari has felt the most like myself, so I couldn’t wait to see what antics she would find herself in.


Ari is planning an anniversary party for baseball star, and ex-high school crush, Sebastian “Griff” Griffin.  Griff is an all-around good guy that is the total package, so it’s no wonder that all those old feelings come flooding back when they awkwardly meet again.


These two are quite the pair and it seems like every time they’re together something awkward, embarrassing, or downright crazy happens, which made for quite the entertaining read.  Griff and Ari are so cute together and I loved every moment!


My favorite scenes actually didn’t have to do with Griff and Ari’s relationship but between Griff and his charming grandparents, particularly the texts between Griff and his grandmother.  I was giggling the entire time because it is so relatable!  My mom is notorious for text messages that are eerily similar and it both baffles and amuses me.  It makes for quite a few laughs and a lot of confusion, I’ll tell you that.


I always find myself grinning or giggling when I’m reading this series and I love that.  I also love that we won’t have to wait much longer for the next book in the series as they are such fun reads and a great escape.


My Rating: ★★★★
