Publisher Description
Four failed engagements. One year-long hiatus on women.
Elliott Sullivan loves being in love, but after his latest romantic disaster, his friends and family finally put their foot down—no relationships or proposals for at least a year. Ready for his heart not to be squashed under another sexy high-heel, he agrees to fully embrace life as a perpetual bachelor. Which should be easy—especially when he recruits his sister's best friend for help. Surely he won't fall for her, no matter how perfect she seems…
Skylar isn't sorry to see Elliott's latest relationship go up in flames. She's had a crush on him for as long as she remembers—not that anything can ever happen there. So when Elliott asks for her help to stop him from breaking his dating embargo, she jumps at the chance. They've spent time together before and nothing has come of it. So what could possibly go wrong this time?
Sticking to his embargo would be fine if all this time with Skye wasn't making Elliott wonder if maybe the perfect girl had been in front of him all along.

Ticked all my boxes
The Engagement Embargo is book one in the Meet Me at the Altar Series, what a great start this read is and I’m now very excited as to what Ms Chase has in store for the next instalment. Elliott Sullivan is a hopeless romantic, he is in love with love and desperate to find true love and happiness but four broken engagements later, he realises he needs to do what his family and friends have been urging him to do and that’s play the field, have some fun without putting his heart on the line. Skylar is his sisters best friend and as a wedding planner she spends her time around couples in love but the love of her life Elliott doesn’t seen to notice her but when he comes to her for help stopping him falling for every woman who crosses his path, she agrees because she would rather have this man in her life as a friend than lose him completely. The problem here is what happens when feelings come into play, will Elliott or Skylar risk the friendship to cross the line to become lovers. This book ticked all my boxes, I swooned and I sighed, I smiled and I giggled, I fell hook, line and sinker for this couple and the secondary characters abd I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Just ok
Predictable, characters with not much depth. A simple formula. Struggled to make it to the end.
Great start to a new series
Having read quite a few books by Samantha Chase I was excited to learn that she was embarking on a new series and jumped at the chance to read and review.
When I read the blurb for The Engagement Embargo, to say I was intrigued is an understatement. Elliott Sullivan is a romantic and always dives in, no holds barred, the result, four broken engagements and a man whose family are worried for him. So much so that they ban him from getting involved for a year and Elliott agrees to play the field and not put his heart on the line for the foreseeable future.
Skylar has had a crush on Elliott for years, but as she is his sister’s best friend, he has never seen her in that light. Turning to Skylar to help keep him from becoming involved he has no idea how that request is about to change both their lives.
What happens when their friendship suddenly starts to morph in to attraction? I really enjoyed this friends to lovers story. It was entertaining, witty, with numerous laugh out loud moments and the characters were engaging and easy to relate too.
I am looking forward to seeing what Ms. Chase has in store for this series.
