Vanna is stuck in a loveless engagement and doesn’t know what to do. The day she tries on her wedding dress is the day she realizes things have to end. But little does she know someone watching her has already decided it for her.
Lawson is a normal guy with a normal life, until the day he sees Vanna trying on her wedding dress. One look and that’s all it takes for him to become the kind of man that takes what he wants and asks questions later.

Warning: Is kidnapping a love language because if so, these heroes are fluent! Pack a bag and stay a while because these guys aren’t letting you go anywhere.

Spoiler Alert! Stealing the Bride was Book 1 of an untitled series about three brothers: Ari, Lawson, and Mack Reins. This first book was about Lawson Reins, the co-owner of the family's private investigating business, and Vanna Noble. Vanna was engaged to Nick Chambers, the son of one of the wealthiest families in town. However, neither one of them was in love with the other. While trying on her wedding dress, Vanna finally admitted to herself she couldn't go through with the engagement. As she left the bridal shop, she tried calling Nick, who wasn't answering, so she went to his place to wait for him. What she found there was the final straw, and she called off the wedding. Lawson was on his way back to work when his oldest brother asked him to stop by the bridal shop to check on something for a client. What he saw instead was Vanna in her wedding gown, and she didn't look happy. He followed her to the subway, only to realize she was going in a different direction than he needed to go, so he returned to the shop to do a little investigating into who she was and also to follow up on what his brother had asked him to do. From the moment he first saw her, his (and her) fate was sealed. He would do anything to have her...including kidnapping her. Upon returning home, Vanna found flowers and a box waiting at her door. Upon further investigation, she determined they were from Nick as an apology for what she had found at his place. The box contained chocolate-covered strawberries, which she threw away because she was allergic to them. Lawson was at a family gathering not long after finally learning about who Vanna was, and he made the decision to take her (kidnap her) to his family's lake house. So he did so, only after he knocked Nick out for trying to assault Vanna. While there, things heated up between them, but before they got too hot and heavy, one of Lawson's brothers showed up and told him Nick wanted to hire them to find Vanna, except he had just done so, and Lawson set him straight on the way things truly were. Side Note: Vanna was allergic to the strawberries her (now ex) fiancee sent her, so much so that she carried an EpiPen at all times...yet not long after Lawson took her to his family's lake house...he was feeding her strawberries? Come on, author! Either she is or she isn't allergic! She can't be both! Upon returning to the city a few days later, Lawson took Vanna to her place to get some of her things. However, things didn't go as planned because Nick and his mother had a different idea of how things should go, and all hell broke loose. This book was different than a lot of this author's other stories but in a good way. It actually had a decent plot and storyline other than just Insta-love. It had a lot of drama and angst, but it had fun, spicy scenes as well. There was a touch of suspense, a good many surprise twists and turns, and just enough heartache to get the juices flowing. There was also plenty of humor. The characters were fun to read about. Both were mature and well-developed, with room for growth. It was nice to read a story with characters who were human to the point they weren't perfect, they weren't money-hungry, and they weren't arrogant. They acted like real people. Because of that, I gave this a five-star rating, and I plan to add it to my Keeper for the Shelves collection. I just hope the other two books in the trilogy are as good as this first one.
