I am not usually a romance reader, but sometimes you just need a book that is mainly lighthearted and fun to read. The Wedding Date is the story of Alexa Monroe and Drew Nichols, whose chance meeting in an elevator changes both of their lives forever. I would have preferred more by way of character development, as the author spent too much time making an issue out of the fact that the pair represented an interracial couple. Alexa seemed too caught up on appearances, although she seemed to be pretty certain of herself at other times. The story was totally predictable, but unrealistic, yet I could not bring myself to put the book down. The Wedding Date is a perfect beach read and I would recommend it to readers for that reason.
