At a Glance: We’ve all met the hot mess that is Jory Harcourt. Smooth sailing isn’t usually on the menu, but the adventure is unforgettable.

Reviewed By: Jules

Blurb: After years of domestic partnership, Jory Harcourt and Sam Kage are finally going to make it official in their home state of Illinois. It’s been a long and rocky road, and nothing—not disasters at work, not the weather, not a possible stalker, not even getting beat up and having to attend the ceremony looking like he just got mugged—will make Jory wait one more day to make an honest man of the love of his life.

Should be a piece of cake, right?

Review: Man, I love these guys, all of Mary’s guys, but Sam and Jory? Yeah… *sigh*

It was so good to be back in Jory’s head for this little peek into the chaotic perfection that is their lives, and, of course, their wedding. The blurb killed me…Should be a piece of cake, right? Ha! We’ve all met the hot mess that is Jory Harcourt. Smooth sailing isn’t usually on the menu, but the adventure is unforgettable.

Mary Calmes has gifted us with a fabulous little wedding novella for our heroes. A Piece of Cake takes us from the wedding planning, through to the ceremony, with no shortage of shenanigans along the way. Jory, as usual, finds himself in the midst of some drama, and it takes Sam and a parade of our favorite characters from the series to get things sorted out. I loved all of the cameos in the story – Duncan and Aaron, Dane and Aja, etc. – but, my favorite was the hilarious little scene with Miro and Ian. I want the next Marshals book, like, now!

I was cracking up on page one:

“We’re still getting married, right?”

Swooning at the end:

“’You’re it,’ he whispered. ‘My love. You have my heart.’”

And, loved every page in between.

Now, I want to go back and start their story all over again!
