Blurb: Seth Bellski and Lars Varga have opened their own law firm that specializes in representing the underrepresented–whistleblowers, disadvantaged employees, and those lacking power. The good news is, business is never slow.

But that also means they are busy when all Seth really wants to do is plan his pending nuptials. So when his brother-in-law approaches him with concerns about his own business, and when Lars’s brother gives them the cold treatment, Seth wishes he could just tune them all out.

But holidays are all about families, even the annoying members. If Seth and Lars are going to enjoy their joint Hanukkah/Christmas celebration this year, they’re going to have to deal with the brother that has a problem, and the brother that IS the problem. And do so before anything else comes in the way of them and their happily ever after.

Review: I was first introduced to Lars and Seth a few years back in Carol of the Bellskis. I wasn’t sure if Lars could win me over when the two broke up, because of Lars fear of coming out of the closet. He was such a cold fish and so adamant about keeping things a secret about being gay, but come out of the closet he did, for the love of his man. Funny how fear works.

Then, in Miracle of the Bellskis, I was introduced to both Lars’ and Seth’s parents, and they both survived that trial by fire, with Lars homophobic parents being the mild angst part of the story.

And now, with Wedding Bellskis, they both have to deal with starting out in a new practice together, as well as dealing with family issues that have come up as they plan their wedding. Although, I will add this…they didn’t start out engaged. Yep, there’s a proposal by one of them.

I love how Ms. Amara can make each story in a series even more interesting than the last, with a surprise twist in Wedding Bellskis that kept me, the reader, eagerly turning the page to see what would happen next.

Seth’s brother in-law, Aaron, kind of made his part in the story an angsty read for me, but I found that I was truly engrossed in what was happening to him. And, I love the fact that when I first started reading this series, marriage wasn’t in the cards for Lars and Seth—until states such as Washington started to make it legal. That doesn’t mean these two didn’t still have a hurdle or two to overcome in Wedding Bellskis, though.

I love these types of stories, where the two MCs continue to grow in their relationship with each other. It also helps that I’m familiar with the location that the story takes place in. As with the other two stories, I’m giving Wedding Bellskis a 4.5 Star rating. Highly recommended to those who love this series and want more!
