Synopsis (Goodreads):
Is it a Dream Wedding or a Bad Dream?
Geek girl Lexi Carmichael thought getting married would be just a formality. But when the guests are the pope, the president of the United States, and the first lady, she’d soon find out that weddings, much like life, do not always go as planned.


Getting married to Slash in the church was supposed to be a joyous occasion and a chance for our families to get together and celebrate. We left no wedding detail to chance, hiring the same wedding planner the president recently used for his daughter’s wedding. Between the wedding planner, my mom, my best friend, and the Secret Service, I felt confident we were prepared for every possible contingency. I secretly begged my little black cloud of trouble to take the week off.

Yet, even the best laid plans can go awry…or get smashed, pulverized and blown to pieces. When total chaos erupts, it becomes increasingly clear someone is using our wedding as an opportunity for their own nefarious agenda. But who is the target and why? More importantly, how do we stop them?

Soon it’s a race against time to find the dangerous mastermind and thwart his vile plans. From the White House to the Vatican to a small church in rural Maryland, someone is determined to stop us from getting married. But suddenly, we’re not just fighting the bad guys. The media, paparazzi, and public-at-large have got wind of the story and are determined to uncover the identities of the powerful couple at the center of the international media whirlwind. It’s going to take everything we’ve got, including the help of our family and friends, to get us to the church on time…preferably alive.
Thoughts on No Vow Broken: I must say that only Lexi and Slash could have such a danger-laden wedding. I mean, they have assassination attempts, shootouts, broad-daylight drone attacks, and...just SO MUCH. Given that their guest list includes the President and First Lady AND the Pope, this is a little problematic.

That said, not only are Lexi and Slash the perfect people to be facing off against the bad guy (even if it does happen during their big event) with their big brains and quick reflexes, but there are enough military trained guests on the premises to make things innnnnntersting. Well, I'm sure the bad guys don't find their abilities interesting since this wedding party does not make it easy for them to complete their objective.

Let's just say there are several dangerous situations, more than a few international considerations, and a whole lot of family and friends that Lexi and Slash are determined to keep safe. Unraveling the hows and whys of these attacks keeps our two love bugs (and various other members of the wedding party) on their toes and doing what they do best. *thumbs up*
