Synopsis

There’s a wedding in the air at Auckland Med, but Reuben wonders if they’ll survive the stress long enough to say, ‘I do’. Cam is directing the entire operation with his combat eyeliner in place, whilst the wedding party is doing its best to ignore him. The pressure is mounting and the cracks are beginning to show.

There’s a bachelor party to survive.
The paparazzi to outrun.
A wedding outfit to confirm.
A rugby game to win.
A jerk of a father to cope with.
A stunning opportunity to consider.
A relationship to untangle.
And a shocking event that could derail everything.

With the universe conspiring against them, Reuben and Cam will have to summon every scrap of belief they have in each other to make it to their vows.

Words have left me…what a wonderful ending for this series!

I read and reviewed the ebook of You Are Cordially Invited nearly a year ago. When I found out that the audiobook was coming, I couldn’t wait to listen to it. Gary Furlong has done such a wonderful job with all of the books in this series and this one was no exception. I’ve read nearly 500 books since I first read this one so some of the details definitely weren’t fresh in my mind. It was a real joy experiencing this story all over again while listening to the audiobook.

While most of the Auckland Med books can be read as standalones (I actually didn’t read all of them in order) I don’t think You Are Cordially Invited is a book you should read without having read the rest of the series first. At the very least, you need to read Crossing the Touchline, which is book two in the series. It’s the beginning of Cam and Reuben’s love story and you really need that background to understand the significance of You Are Cordially Invited.

Anyone who reads my reviews already knows that I’m a sucker for books that make me cry and boy did this one bring on the tears. Jay Hogan put Cam and Reuben through the wringer in a variety of ways but they survived (as I knew they would, but still…😊).

Other reviews will do a much better job of describing the story; I just want to shout out READ THIS SERIES! You Are Cordially Invited was the book I didn’t know I needed and am so glad that Jay wrote.

Thank you, Jay, for giving fans of Auckland Med such a fantastic ending for the series. Now I just need you to write a follow up short story/novella to let fans know how Cam and Rueben are doing in a year or so. ❤

I’m a cat aficionado especially of Maine Coons, and an avid dog lover (but don’t tell the cat). I love to cook, pretty damn good, love to sing, pretty damn average, and as for loving full-time writing, absolutely… depending of course on the day, the word count, the deadline, how obliging my characters are, the ambient temperature in the Western Sahara, whether Jupiter is rising, the size of the ozone hole over New Zealand and how much coffee I’ve had.

Welcome to my world.
