I received Have Gown, Will Wed in return for an honest review from the author Killian McRae. Rosalind has been working hard on her career since she graduated from Stanford ending all relationships before anything serious develops. It’s the day that she makes a huge deal for her company that her last single friend Kamakshi informs her that she’s getting married and it’s just around the corner. Having heard about Kamakshi’s arranged marriage Rosalind decides that it’s time she find a husband.
Not knowing a matchmaker in San Francisco she turns to Xavier Hommes that best headhunter in the area who also found her Carmen her personal assistant. When Rosalind shows up with an unusual request offer to make him a deal he can’t pass up Xavier personally oversees finding her the perfect guy. As Xavier starts to picture the perfect guy for Rosalind he starts seeing that maybe his choice isn't the right one. However as fate would have it she finds the file and calls the guy she used to have a crush on in college thinking he’s the perfect guy. As their relationship progresses Xavier is forced to sit in the shadow without risking his business will he risk it for love?
I love Rosalind she’s so wrapped up in making her business as successful as she can that she doesn’t even think about guys much less marriage. She’s open to the idea of having a husband but only after learning that she’s the only one left without a guy. She’s smart strong independent and has a German shepherd what’s not to love. Oh Xavier he’s just the perfect guy for Rosalind she just doesn't know it yet.
Have Gown, Will Wed is a perfect story. The characters are easy to connect with you end up cheering them on throughout the whole book. Rosalind grows as a character which I enjoy so that work isn't all her life is about. I’m a huge fan of a happy ever after and Have Gown, Will Wed delivered the perfect ending. I've always been a fan of clean romance that are sweet and innocent this is one of those books that I could see teens as well as adults enjoy. It was a quick read I had a hard time putting down I actually read the book within a few hours. I think the author has done a brilliant job creating a story that captures the imagination. I honestly loved the story it’s quickly stolen my heart and hitting my top ten favorites. I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next.

**Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review**
I really really enjoyed this story. It was creative, hilarious, fresh, and an original love story. Killian does a great job with jumping right off the bat..no hesitation. The novel starts off with Rosalind, a strong, independent, and career-minded woman who realizes that everything she has worked so hard to build as her own, has no meaning if you can't share it with someone. She realizes that she's more lonely than ever, especially after her best friend gets engaged. So, Rosalind seeks out help from a job placement company and hires Xavier, the owner to find her a husband..she already has the gown..hehehe, yeah I just had to...
I enjoyed everything about this book. The pace was good; nothing felt too rushed or too slow. The writing was intelligent and well descriptive. The plot was amazing and the dialogue between Xavier and Rosalind was so precious and sweet. I mean, how can you not like this book? I loved Xavier! He is sexy, romantic, funny, a great dresser, a great dancer, and I bet he smells absolutely delicious! Yummmm!!! The connection between Rosalind and Xavier felt very real..nothing fake at all. They genuinely care about each other and I'll admit, some parts of the story gave me butterflies. I also enjoyed that the love story was just that; a love story. No erotica/hot sex scenes. It is a clean and fresh take on finding love when you least expect it. I highly recommend this story to all romance junkies out there and I will definitely be checking out other books by Killian. Great job!! ;)
