THE BAREFOOT WEDDING (MARRIED IN MALIBU #3)

As the head of security for Married in Malibu, Travis Houston is absolutely certain that no one will ever get into one of their celebrity beachfront weddings without an invitation, especially the paparazzi. But though he’s a master of keeping his clients safe, he can’t say the same for keeping his own heart safe. Especially when Amy Woodford shows up from out of the blue and completely takes his breath away.

Three years ago, Amy went halfway across the country to try to escape heartbreak. But when her best friend’s wedding brings her to Married in Malibu, she’s suddenly face to face with the man she once loved with all her heart.

Love is always in the air at the beach in Malibu, and this summer is no exception as Travis and Amy can’t help but fall for each other all over again. But will Amy’s unconditional love be enough for Travis to believe that he could be good enough to transcend the pain from his past and give her his entire heart?

Liza's Review:

The Barefoot Wedding is a heartwarming reunion romance from Lucy Kevin. I'm a huge fan of reunion romances, and adored Travis and Amy's story.

Everyone has a past and Travis is no different. He unfortunately comes from a pretty ugly family history of abuse and gang members and feels like that history means he isn't good enough for someone as wonderful as Amy. Of course being a man, Travis never shared his reason for distancing himself from Amy 3 years ago; he just ended their relationship.

Amy comes to Married in Malibu early to help make sure everything will be absolutely perfect for her best friend's wedding. She had no idea she would run into Travis yet I love she didn't back down once she found out he worked there. I loved that even though Travis didn't feel like he was good enough for Amy you could tell by his actions how much he still loved her. He went out of his way to help her further her art career and he really does have to fight himself much of the time to stay away. Yes Amy ran away to nurse her broken heart years ago, yet this time she is there to fight for the man she still loves.

I really liked Travis and Amy as a couple. There was a sweetness about them and they really did just seem to get each other. They had wonderful chemistry together and I loved they really did seem to honestly be friends with each other as well as lovers. 

The Barefoot Wedding chemistry runs more on the sweet side of romance, and it was a truly satisfying story. I highly recommend both this story and the series to romance readers who enjoy sweet and heartwarming stories.
