About Going Down On One Knee:

"An utterly charming opposites-attract-story. Hovland perfectly balances simmering sexual tension with a surprising amount of emotion, and the stomach-flip-causing ending is the perfect example of why I read and love romance." - New York Times Bestselling Author, Lauren Layne Number-crunching Velma Johnson's perfectly planned life is right on course. That's a lie. Sure, she's got the lucrative job. She's got the posh apartment. But her sister nabbed Velma's Mr. Right. There has to be a man out there for Velma. Hopefully, one who's hunky, wears pressed suits, and has a diversified financial portfolio. He'll be exactly like, well... her sister's new fiancé. Badass biker Brek Montgomery blazes a trail across the country, managing Dimefront, one of the biggest rock bands of his generation. With the band on hiatus, Brek rolls into Denver to pay a quick visit to his family and friends. But when Brek's sister suddenly gets put on bed rest, she convinces Brek to take over her wedding planning business for the duration of her pregnancy. Staying in Denver and dealing with bridezillas was not what Brek had in mind when he passed through town, but there is one particular maid-of-honor who might make his stay worthwhile. Velma finds herself strangely attracted to the man planning her sister's wedding. Problem is, he ticks none of the boxes on her well-crafted list. Brek is rough around the edges, he cusses, and doesn't even have a 401(k). But trying something crazy might get her out of the rut of her dating life--so long as she lays down boundaries up front and sticks to her plan...

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

First of all, the "boxes on her well-crafted list" is a very downgrading term to be used for what Velma was doing. She had a spreadsheet with an algorithm that was rating all her dates from one to 10 according to some traits the men she was dating had. I got creeped out reading this. Why would she want to keep a memo of the men she dated in the past but didn't work out for her? Her saving point is that she realized that she made mistakes and owned up to them. I was expecting a lot from Brek. For example, Velma goes to 2 dates early in the book and I was ok with it because I never thought that she would go on a second date with the same man (yes, Velma is a serial dater). When Brek got on a date with another woman I was disappointed in him. I kept expecting him to be something steady in the book and keep pursuing Velma no matter what. He comes with baggage, but he matured a lot and he was willing to take the next step before Velma did which is not usual considering that she had a 5-year plan and he didn't even have a steady home. I was happy with both of them. They made mistakes, but they didn't get on my nerves and I couldn't fault their actions.

The secondary characters are good and overall I liked the book. I would recommend it. At some parts, it might have gotten a little slow, but for most of the book, we had a good pace. I wish we had seen more of Brek and his wedding planning. It was one of the best parts of the book even if he didn't always do things the right way. I hope that Jace will get a book since he seemed like such a good person and he was funny.
