Royal Secrets (2013)

Lily Lavender was born and raised in Las Vegas by her mother, Mimi, but while growing up Lily decided she wanted nothing to do with the promise of "happily ever after" that her mother's business The Royal Wedding Chapel of Las Vegas offered. Now a single mother herself, her daughter, Tori, who shares the passion her grandmother has for the wedding chapel in Las Vegas, runs away from home to go to Las Vegas. Obviously Lily has no choice but to return to her hometown to get her daughter. The characters were well thought out and the hatred Lily felt towards her mother was depressingly real, as was the relationship between Lily and Tori. Although Tori was a teenager, she seemed to have the most realistic grasp of everything that was going on around her because her mother's hatred clouded her judgment in so many ways. Eventually Lily realises that not everything is what it seems, and for the most part she has seriously misjudged the people around her and their motivations. This book is about the lengths a family will go to protect their own and how forgiveness and having an open heart can change your life. (KARM)
