I love the Travis series by Lisa Kleypas and I was so thrilled to find there was going to be a book for Joe. I felt a little jipped that we got to read about Gage and Liberty, Haven and Hardy, and Jack and Ella but not Joe. These books are wonderful, deep, emotional, and have so many things going on in them. I still re-read these books from time to time and it is like catching up with an old friend. Avery Crosslin and her sister Sophia have a wedding planning business and they are rising stars in Houston society. During a wedding that she and her sister planned, she meets Joe Travis and she mistakes him for a wedding photographer.
Avery believes in love but doesn't think it is something that is meant for her. She and her sister Sophia are half sisters that share the same father. He loved to get married but he didn't seem to believe in monogamy and broke many people's hearts. Also, Avery was left at the alter by her ex-boyfriend/ex-fiance. She is instantly attracted to Joe Travis but doesn't think he is meant for her. He's wealthy, he's charming, and she thinks they come from totally different worlds. She's also planning a wedding that she doesn't really believe in or think will last but she doesn't want to turn a great opportunity down. There is also another opportunity upon the horizon that could take her away from Houston and back to New York City.
Joe comes from a close knit family. He's the youngest of the siblings and for many years he and Churchill didn't have much of a relationship. But luckily they mended their relationship before Churchill died. He's a talented and wonderful photographer. He does so many good deeds and always helping others. He and his family do not think they are better than others because they are wealthy. He knows what he wants and he doesn't let anyone stand in the way, even Avery. He knows there is something about her and he is so drawn to her. He works hard to get passed her walls and show her that there are so many wonderful things to her.
Definitely worth reading.

The values got me
Avery was a up and coming wedding gown designer living in New York, loving her life. When her dead-beat dad is about to pass, she returns to Texas and meets her half-sister. The two women find the family love that has been lacking from their bitter mothers and selfish father. The two build a wedding and event planning business that is growing fast. At their largest and most high-profile wedding, Avery mistakes a guest for the photographer’s assistant. Luckily, the man, Joe, is good natured and smitten with Avery.Joe, a son in a Houston dynasty, has Avery breaking all her own rules including a one-night stand. She doesn’t think his high society status will allow them to have a long-term relationship. Joe knows he wants her and isn’t giving up. Avery and Joe spend more time together when Avery is hired by Joe’s cousin to plan his wedding to a Houston playgirl with social climbing parents.Complications continue, and in the end, Avery has to decide who she really is and what she is willing to do to succeed and more important, what she won’t.This book is great, with character I could see in real life. The story is interesting, and I enjoyed that conflict was compelling. The drama was moving at points, and funny at others. The subplots were also compelling, including explaining her and his reactions to stimuli. Values were a big part of the book and I loved how they were part of the plot. The sex scenes were hot and entertaining.I picked up this contemporary and it was very satisfying, just the kind of book I love to read.

A 3.5 star pleasant read but not as good as the first three Travis books
