BLURB:

Life for Isamu Taylor is now a Cinderella story that includes a Manhattan loft, a new position in the hottest LGBT film production company in New York City, and an upcoming wedding in Bryant Park to his very own handsome prince.

He’s come a long way from that struggling film student with ratty sneakers and shaggy hair. Isamu is now living an urbanite’s fairy tale with that happily ever after just around a bustling city street corner.

But as all wedding planners know, even the best laid plans seem to go awry, and Isamu and Brian’s wedding is no exception. But love—both old and new—is in the air, so nothing can go too badly, right? 

REVIEW:

Woo. This was one heck of a story lol. I felt like I was watching Bridezillas, only the wedding planners was the zilla. Shew. And Isamu just can’t seem to catch a break from any way he turns. It’s funny, it’s drama and it’s a wedding.

I almost felt bad, well I did really, for Isamu. He was worried sick that his family didn’t love Brian. And with Brian he felt like a kept boy at times. And then it just seemed like they came from such different worlds at times, that he felt like maybe this was just a dream he was having. The truth is, they are very much from different worlds, and although Brian can be haughty a lot, and kind of a prick, he does very much love Isamu. He’s just used to being in control. But with this wedding, he’s trying to get Isamu to understand, he has to stand up for what he wants too. But Isamu isn’t as aggressive as Brian and between the wedding planner, families, and other stuff, he doesn’t know if he’s going to make it much longer without barfing. His nerves are beyond shot and it feels like the gods are conspiring against them. But maybe with a little Japanese magic, things can be turned around again.

Whoooo, I would not ever want to be in Isamu’s shoes. Actually, I wouldn’t be. I would just stab somebody or something and run for it. I can’t handle all that drama. Lol. And the poor guy is just trying to make everyone happy but everyone wants something from him it seems like, and he isn’t a miracle worker. Especially when his wedding planner is pitching a fit in an expensive restaurant. I guess it’s worth it, if you get to be with the spouse of your dreams, but sometimes I think people should just run off to the courthouse and get it over with. lol . No sense in all that drama. But I was happy to see that his family came through for him. He was so worried about his Baba and his mom not being happy for him. They were happy, but just worried about the age difference and the culture difference. They didn’t want Isamu to feel like he doesn’t measure up. He deserves to be treated like a prince and that’s all they want for him.

It’s a sweet wedding story for these two. It’s filled with drama yes, but the end result is worth it. It has it’s fun points and no relationship comes without a little bit of disagreements. But when you truly love someone, it’s worth the work. I like this series. It’s been a fun one.
