The Carpenter's Wedding (Now Entering Hillford) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 43 ratings

In my old life, Tanner Lochlan was more than the boy next door. He was my best friend.
In my new life, he absolutely hates me.

Hell freezing over: that’s when I swore I’d come back here.

Turns out, all it took was six years, a funeral, and a nasty car crash I’m told I was lucky to survive.

In the aftermath, I can’t remember much about my supposedly great, new life. But I remember my old one. I remember Tanner, and the way he makes my heart disintegrate with one inked-out glance.

We fall again fast, so hard it hurts—even though we both know, when I leave again...it'll hurt much, much worse.

In my old life, I believed Tanner could erase nights from history. Polish them off the face of the earth. Pick my splintered pieces out of the stardust in this universe and make them whole. Back then, I thought Tanner could fix anything.

But he can’t fix me.

* * *

In another life, Skye Michaels would be mine.

In this life? She vanished. No note, no clues, no warning.

This isn’t the girl I knew. The one I swam with in the river after school, or kissed under tree branches...the girl I used to love.

But no matter how much Skye changes, I’m still addicted to what she does to me.

God help me—I think I like it.


The Carpenter’s Wedding is a standalone, second-chance romance with an HEA, steamy scenes, and no cliffhanger. It is the second book in the Now Entering Hillford series by Piper Lennox.

Review

"WOW!!!!! What a mindblowing storyline...well written, captivating, intriguing...[with] twists that you didn't see coming." -Diane, Amazon Review

"...a fantastic book with brilliant depth." -Lucinda, Amazon Review

"...another amazingly fantastic book this author has graced her readers with. ...These characters are very engaging and endearing. Tanner is a wary alpha, unsure about life as it is and his world is rocked when Skye returns. Skye is sweet but so lost and unsure of herself for so many reasons. I was captivated by both of them immediately and kept on the edge of my seat as they tentatively became a part of each other's lives once more.
There's memories, reminiscing, obstacles, trust issues, chemistry, past hurts and so much more that will have you as hooked as I was to the very end. ...an exceptionally well written book, as expected, from this author." -Kelly, Goodreads Review and Amazon Vine Voice

" I absolutely love this series!
...Piper Lennox is a master at writing stories that will pull on your heartstrings...." -Silvia, Goodreads Review

"...becoming one of my favorite authors." -Jeanne, Amazon Review

"Such a great book and so [rare] and real. A must read!" -Tara, Goodreads Review

"This has moved up into my favorites." Ashley, Goodreads Review

"This book pulls you in and doesn't let go.
I pulled an all nighter because I had to know what happened next. Loved it!!!" -Amazon Reviewer

"...heartwrenching and beautiful. I couldn't put this book down and I wish there were about 20 epilogues!" -Christa, Goodreads Review

"I could really go on and on gushing about this book, I loved it so much. But I'll keep this short and simple -
if you want heartbreaking and emotional, if you want to feel, if you love second chances and happy endings - read this book, you won't be sorry." -LadyM, Goodreads Review

    The Carpenter’s Wedding (Now Entering Hillford Book 2) by Piper Lennox is another amazingly fantastic book this author has graced her readers with. Tanner and Skye experience a wide range of emotions encompassing their history as well as their present and this book explores it all. These characters are very engaging and endearing. Tanner is a wary alpha, unsure about life as it is and his world is rocked when Skye returns. Skye is sweet but so lost and unsure of herself for so many reasons. I was captivated by both of them immediately and kept on the edge of my seat as they tentatively became a part of each other’s lives once more. There’s memories, reminiscing, obstacles, trust issues, chemistry, past hurts and so much more that will have you as hooked as I was to the very end.
    I really enjoy the way this author uses memories to help her characters come to realizations and understandings throughout her books and this book, for Tanner and Skye, is no exception. Also, as this book is the second in her new series, characters introduced in Book 1, The Midwife’s Playlist, make repeat appearances in this book as well. I can’t wait til we get to know more about Bram and Hudson!
    Overall, an exceptionally well written book, as expected, from this author. The HEA is sweet and so very promising, just right for Tanner and Skye.

    This second book in the series as yet another Hillford resident returning home, after years away! Skye has been away for 6 years and has come home for her Grandmother’s funeral. Her childhood neighbor & best friend Tanner has had some life changes since the last time they saw one another.

    I love a second chance romance. This series seems to be building we possibly more stories to come. I hope to see a little more. This book aligns with the same timeline as Easton & Ford’s. I can’t wait to see more of all of them. Hillford really needs this new generation of adults to love the town and not want to leave!

    I would love to read Caroline’s story! I hope she’s next!!! I definitely recommend reading this series!

    Wow couldn’t put this one down. I don’t know how I missed this book. I am a huge fan of Piper Lennox and I read the first book in Now Entering Hillford when it was released but somehow never read this one. Then I was given the opportunity to read the 3rd book, The Poets Cookbook and was able to snag the first two as well. I reread the first and then read this one and was really blown away.

    Tanner and Skye have a ton of history much like Easton and Ford, but Skye is the one who left leaving behind a lot of pain and anger.

    But, much like Ford, she never really did find what she seemed to be looking for and came back home, back to Tanner, and although it took some time the two are able to find their way back to each other and man the story along the way is gut wrenching and hard to read a times but just so very worth it in the end.

    Disclaimer I have read the whole Now Entering Hillford series now and it is definitely in my top ten all time favorites. All the characters are complex and well rounded and very very real. The stories are original and emotional in their own special way but also work very well together as a series.

    When Skye left town years ago without so much as a note, Tanner had to get over her and move on with his life. So now he’s getting married but his Bridezilla fiancé is making his life a living hell. When Skye’s beloved grandmother dies, he and his fiancé attend the service, never thinking Skye would come home.

    Skye left for a very good reason that has kept her on the move for all these years. When she makes one of her infrequent calls home, she finds out her grandmother has died and decides to attend the service and not even spend the night. Unfortunately for her, she has an accident on her way out of town and is stuck at her mother’s for the foreseeable future. Now she’ll have to explain herself.

    I absolutely love this series! Tanner was introduced in the first book, The Midwife’s Playlist, briefly.
    Piper Lennox is a master at writing stories that will pull on your heartstrings and captivating characters that make you feel like you know them personally. And that’s exactly what this book has. This was a beautiful yet heartbreaking story of two childhood best friends who grew steadily to more until the unexpected happened and changed the course of their story. Tanner and Skye were fantastic characters, though I’ll admit that Tanner was my favorite. I just had a minor issue when I felt Skye was being selfish/childish when she was expecting or hoping to get Tanner to leave after he had some life altering news. I did, however, like that she was mature enough to understand and agree with how Easton felt towards Ford.
    I am really hoping for Hudson to get his own story! I’ve been dying to know more about him and those still waters since the first book!

    I couldn't fathom why Skye would pick up and leave town like she did unless some major had happened.

    It was interesting that while Skye was off living somewhere else, doing a job she hated, and trying to numb her emotions, Tanner was doing something similar by going through the motions of a wedding.

    Demons are faced, secrets are uncovered, coercion is avoided, lies are told, as Tanner and Skye struggle for their second chance at an HEA.

    A medium paced, steamy romance full of unease, misgivings, and anxiety. There are a few light moments, and Tanner and Skye do get their HEA.

    I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
