True love is in the details for the Jersey shore’s premier wedding planner in this heart-swooning series about big dreams and happy endings from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

Avery Sunshine might not have a soul mate of her own, but she still believes in happily ever after—for her clients. Making dreams come true is her business at Sunshine Bridal, which she runs with her two sisters. When her best friend announces her engagement, Avery is thrilled to take charge of the giddy bride-to-be’s big day. Less thrilling? Her best friend's arrogant and demanding brother, who just so happens to be the man of honor.

Carter Ross’s first instinct: call 911. He promised to always take care of his impulsive little sister, and he honors that vow. Even if it means taking over her wedding, where he is sure Avery will fail. At best, Avery is unpredictable. At worst, if she’s anything like the spitfire of a college girl he remembers, the main event could run wild.

With Avery and Carter wrestling for control, tempers heat up. So does the spark of attraction they’re fighting with every kiss. As the wedding draws near, it’s time to reconcile a rocky past and make a decision that could change everyone’s lives. Because what they’re rebelling against looks a lot like love.

Product description

Review

'Probst (All Roads Lead to You) opens her Sunshine Sisters series with an effervescent rom-com. The characters leap off the page, the love story is perfectly paced, and an adorable dog named Lucy adds charm. Readers will eagerly await the next in the series.' -- Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

My mother was the youngest of three sisters (much like the Sunshine sisters in Jennifer Probst’s delightful new series), and the nuances of their relationships fascinate me. I was delighted when I cracked open Love on Beach Avenue, expecting a romance, which of course I got in spades, but the author’s ability to go deep into the minds and psyches of all her characters—while still maintaining a delightful sense of humor—is what really pushed it over the edge for me.

I’m an only child. Though I didn’t grow up lonely because I always had my books, sibling dynamics have always been something that deeply intrigues me. From the dynamics of the Sunshine sisters themselves to the special bond between the hero and his younger sister, which runs deeper than expected as he became her guardian when their parents died years earlier, I found this book to be unputdownable.

My family never went into the wedding planning business (too bad for me), but luckily, Jennifer’s Sunshine sisters bring all the charm and excitement of falling in love and planning a wedding—and not necessarily in that order! Bridezillas, overbearing older brothers, mean little Yorkies, and small-town charm round out this beachy romance. The Jersey shore has truly never been hotter.

A little cheesy but honest

Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2020

This is another great, a little cheesy but honest to goodness predictable enemies to lovers romance that will have you screaming and swooning... all in one sitting.

I was sucked into Avery and Carter’s unconventional romance. They both were snarky and so full of themselves. Avery holding out for happily ever after, and Carter so calm, smug, and pragmatic about it being a life sentence... it was fun to read how they both changed and had more in common than either thought.

The story goes... Avery is a wedding planner and her best friend Ally asks her to plan her wedding. Ally's brother, Carter, helped raise her after their parents died so sometimes he's more of a parent than brother.

When Ally is called away to take care of her future mother-in-law, the wedding details are up to Avery and Carter. Avery and Carter butt heads over everything to do with the wedding.

Jennifer Probst never fails to deliver romance that sizzles and has a way of tugging those heartstrings.

I really liked this first book in a new series by Jennifer, and am looking forward to the next books to be released.

Paternalistic & Misogynistic

I could only read the first few pages. Then the brother saying to his sister that her fiance hadn't asked his permission to marry his sister stopped me in my tracks. Paternalistic misogyny is not my idea of a good read.

Great beach read.

Reviewed in Australia on 8 August 2020

This is the first time reading a book by this author and I am really looking forward to the next book in this series and seeing the love life of another Sunshine sister.

I love a good enemies to lover story and this one definitely did not disappoint, there was lots of sarcasm and hate getting flung around between Avery and Carter, they definitely hated one another.

They did have a connection too though no matter that they fought to admit it. We definitely see a lot of ups and downs with this pair.

I loved the family love in this book, it really shone through, firstly with Avery and her sisters and niece and also carter and his sister.

I have to say I loved the setting and could move there in a heart beat, I live by the beach and it is my absolute favourite place to be.

Great easy to read story with a twist I never saw coming.

Definitely recommend this, go grab it it and head to the beach.

Thanks for an awesome read.

Fun and a bit cheesy

Reviewed in Australia on 1 May 2020

You know when you pick up a JP book you are going to get heartfelt, wonderful story that you are going to fall in love with.

And I did with Love on Beach Avenue - though it took me a while to warm up to Carter - just like it took Avery to. Sheesh that man was frustrating!

I mean, what could be better than a wedding planner who wants nothing but to fall in love, and a man who doesn't believe in love? You know that there are going to be sparks. We knew that we would get our HEA, but boy it was a bit rough getting there for our lovelies.

Someone must have been cutting onions near me at times too, as there was definite eye leakage at times.

We have a wonderful cast of secondary characters, and I cannot wait for you to meet them, especially Lucy and Zoe.

I am really looking forward to Avery's sisters to get their stories. I think I know who they will be with, but can't wait to see how the tales go.

Truly unlikeable characters and a hardly a love story

Reviewed in Australia on 15 June 2020

Look, I am not one to typically write negative reviews, but I have to share my honest opinion on this book.

I tried, I honestly did. There were so many times I was tempted to throw my kindle down and never pick this book up again. But because I can't NOT finish a book, I cringed my way through the entire thing and it was honestly painful. All of the eye-rolling and cringing done.

To start with, the main characters, Avery and Carter, are not even the slightest bit likable and both have massive egos that think they're too good for the other. Avery is dramatic and acts like a child every two seconds, and Carter is just rude and overbearing. I think the whole story was poorly written, very basic, and extremely cheesy, not to mention ridiculously predictable. Can we also just take a moment to agree that probably 99% of men would NEVER be that involved or interested in planning a wedding, and expect to be more knowledgable than an actual wedding planner. AND most brides would probably never be so hands-off of planning their dream wedding. It just wasn't believable at all. The whole book is spent with them "sparring" and giving us whiplash between loving and hating each other, wanting to try to make it work, and then giving up the next second.

I think my breaking point was when Carter orders the last chocolate croissant, and Avery throws a massive temper tantrum saying he did that SOLEY to upset her. Spoiler alert** he didn't even know she liked chocolate croissants and just, in fact, wanted a chocolate croissant.

Might be someone's cup of tea, just not mine.

Love this Opposites Attract Love Story

I absolutely loved Love on Beach Avenue by Jennifer Probst, it is an incredible love story, and is the first book in her Sunshine Sisters series. Love on Beach Avenue is the first book that I have read by Jennifer Probst and I really enjoyed. I am looking to reading other books that she has written. Love on Beach Avenue is a wonderfully written story. Jennifer Probst has shown that she is an amazing storyteller. I could not put it down and loved every page. I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Love on Beach Avenue is wonderful love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud and the bittersweet moments that cause me to sigh, say aww to myself with tears filling my eyes. Love on Beach Avenue is filled with such moments, and so much more. It is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a love story, especially the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Love on Beach Avenue is the story of Avery Caldwell, wedding planner for Sunshine Bridal with her sisters Bella and Taylor and Carter Ross, hacker and the man of honor for his sister Ally’s wedding. Avery is the best friend from college of Carter’s sister, Ally. Carter has been Ally’s guardian since she was ten years-old. Ally just got engaged and Avery has agreed to handle the plans for her beach wedding. Carter was not a fan of Avery when she and Ally were partners in crime in college and his opinion did not change much after seeing her again for the first time. The feelings were mutual as far as Avery was concerned, she did not appreciate Carter or his judgmental ways in college or now. Carter plans to spend the summer in Cape May with Ally, to help her plan her wedding. As Avery and Carter work together on plans for Ally’s beach weddings things between them change. As they spend more time together, they share secrets that they haven’t shared with anyone before, and realize they may have something more. Carter tells Avery that he does not believe in love and a happily ever after, which is the complete opposite of Avery’s beliefs and career. When Carter returns to DC after the summer, it puts distance between them. I love that both Carter and Avery were both so vulnerable and that Carter realized that his father’s faults did not have to be his. I love that Carter changed because of Avery’s love for him. In order to prove his love for Avery, Carter realizes that he has to do something big to win her back and I loved his grand gesture! I love Carter’s relationship with Zoe and all that he does for her. I loved that Love on Beach Avenue is a more than just a romance, there are dilemmas that both Avery and Carter are facing that need to be resolved, Carter’s issues with his father’s death and not believing in love and a happily ever after. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Love on Beach Avenue, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoy all the interactions among the Sunshine sisters and the Gabe, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I love all the descriptions of the Cape May setting that Jennifer Probst details, it makes me want to visit. I love the quote from a letter Ally had from her late mother that she wanted included in the wedding and how she used that quote on Carter to make him realize that Avery was worth the risk. My favorite part of the book is the epilogue, I truly love how it goes above and beyond the happily ever after. Love on Beach Avenue is filled with the poignant and bittersweet moments in the story as well as the plot twists, that I love in my favorite love stories. I love the cast of characters in Love on Beach Avenue and loved catching up with Avery and Carter. Who doesn’t love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Love on Beach Avenue, who doesn’t love a beautifully written love story? Cannot wait to read the other books in the series. Highly recommend Love on Beach Avenue.

Avery knows that her dreams of love and marriage are real and that the perfect man is out there for her but in the interim she is happy ensuring that the event planning business that she and her sisters manage ensure that every other bride gets their perfect day. Their schedule for this year is already packed but when her best friend Ally wants her help arranging the perfect day there is no way that Avery can say no even if that means that Carter, her brother and the Man of Honor, takes part in all the decisions that need to be made.

After the death of both their parents Carter was not only her brother but her guardian. He put aside his dreams for the future to ensure that Ally was happy and had everything she needed and her wedding day was going to be no different. He had always felt that Avery was a bad influence on Ally so he will let Avery plan the wedding but he is going to ensure that his choices are clear from the dress to the food so that Ally can have the wedding of her dreams.

They find themselves competing against each other about what is right for the special day and discover that their similarities far outweigh their differences but with the very different plans they have for the future can they ever be more than a fling?

This is a sweet and sexy story about love, family and deciding what and who you want in the future that is filled with hot chemistry, witty banter and great secondary characters.

Feel Good Romance

Love on Beach Avenue is a super sweet romance between best friend and older brother, but it is also a profound reflection of how we can lose ourselves to our responsibilites.

Both Avery and Carter have lost the fun and spontaneity in their lives and use work as a crutch to keep them from analysing the causes of the rut they have found themselves in. Although Carter has additional reasons for avoiding emotional entanglements beyond his sister and his sassy dog.

I adored how romantic Avery was and the way she refused to sell herself short on the relationship front; determined to have the fairytale and unapologetic in her determination to get it. I also really, really wanted her purple house – the way it was described made it my ideal home 😍

Avery and Carter are thrown together to plan Carter’s sisters wedding even though they have a lot of animosity between them stemming from Avery’s wild phase during college which she attended with Carter’s sister.

As Avery and Carter battle to in the title of who knows the bride best – the banter and bets between them fuel the chemistry that takes them both by surprise. However, Carter’s emotional fortress is a barrier to moving their relationship beyond summer fling. Will they be able to overcome it to get the happily ever after they both deserve??

Jennifer Probst ingenious paves the way for the other two Sunshine sisters story within the narrative of Love on Beach Avenue.

Love on Beach Avenue is a feel-good romance to help fuel the belief in happily ever afters 😍
