Cover Reveal ~ Amy Matayo’s The Party Planning Committee

Amy Matayo is one of my grocery list authors 😉 Yep, I’d read a grocery list written by her as she would find a way to make it whip smart, funny, and engaging. Just like all of her entire backlist – I’ve read and adored each one.

So, it’s a no brainer that I’m sharing in the cover reveal today for her third Reality Show novel that I will be reading soon, The Party Planning Committee, set to release on 5th October, 2021. The title is pure Matayo genius and the synopsis even more fun.

But before we get to the cover reveal, Amy has recently revamped the covers of the first two books in the series and I think they are fabulous. The Wedding Game was her debut novel and started me on my Matayo reading journey. You can check out my review here.

How’s this for a pretty winter cover?

I’ve just discovered I never posted a review for the second novel, Love Gone Wild. I can assure you it was just as fabulous!

Now for book #3….

The Party Planning Committee

When Charlotte Pringle Frost won The Party Planning Committee three years ago, she gained name-recognition, money, and enough wealthy clients to keep her Beverly Hills party-planning business running for months. But when her father used all her winnings to pay off his gambling debts, he left her with nothing but the clothes on her back and a damaged reputation. Now she’s living in Arkansas, was just fired from her party store cashier job, and can’t figure out how it all went wrong.

Lance Dutton hasn’t been at his mental wellness retreat in Switzerland five minutes when his mom calls to tell him his little sister is engaged. Alexandria is twenty-two, and her overly tattooed fiancé fronts an underground boy band; so much for mental wellness. It isn’t enough that Lance has spent ten years of his life starring on Dealing with the Duttons—his family’s reality show; now he’s expected to come home and oversee the wedding. With multiple product lines and new endorsement deals in the works, his family can’t afford any bad press.

When Alexandria impulsively hires some random contestant she remembers from an old reality game show to plan the wedding, all Lance sees is a disaster in the making. It’s bad enough that the wedding is in four weeks and his sister wants the whole process aired live, but this Charlotte chick is cuter than he expected, and she’s messing with his head. Suddenly he’s thinking about the future, and nothing could possibly be worse than that.

Nothing, that is, until Alexandria tells them her ridiculous wedding theme.

As the only sane people around, it’s up to Lance and Charlotte to make this disastrous wedding a success, a nearly impossible feat that soon has them both wondering…

Even if the wedding doesn’t work out, could they?

Giddy, I tell you, I’m giddy! Amy writes such fun stories (and some equally brilliant not so fun ones), but always with a deeper edge so you get your fun and depth fix every time.

Now, for the cover itself…

I love it – how about you?

Amy Matayo is an excellent speaker, mathematician, seamstress, chef…and liar. She’s decent at writing books but not much else. Then again, the book thing makes her marginally cool and a whole lot intimidating.

Not really. Not even her kids are afraid of her.

She graduated with barely passing grades from John Brown University with a degree in Journalism. But she’s proud of that degree and all the ways she hasn’t put it to good use.

She laughs often, cries easily, feels deeply, and loves hard. She lives in Arkansas with her husband and four kids and is working on her next novel.
