Happy 4th of July to those in the US! Today I have something fun for the occasion, a review of The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory! The Wedding Party will be available from Berkley on July 16, 2019. A big thanks to Berkley for my complimentary copy.
My Thoughts:
Aw, this is so much fun! I’ve read and loved Jasmine Guillory’s other two contemporary romances, and The Wedding Party is just as entertaining!
Maddie and Theo don’t like each other; however, they have a best friend in common, Alexa. You can probably already sense where that tension may lead them…
They had an “oops” night together, and ever since, they are each obsessed with each other.
Alexa is about to get married, and both Maddie and Theo are in the bridal party. That attraction will not go away. They make a pact that they will end their tryst once Alexa is married, but when Alexa’s wedding is suddenly moved up, the pair don’t know what to think of it. They are actively trying not to fall in love.
The Wedding Party was such an engaging read with nice tension. I loved the witty banter between Maddie and Theo. They were so cute together!
This is the perfect book to pack in your beach bag when you are craving an easy, sweet romance with a touch of edge. Jasmine Guillory only gets better and better! I see a new book on the horizon in the fall! Woo hoo!
I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
The new exhilarating romance from The New York Times bestselling author of The Proposal!
Maddie and Theo have two things in common:
1. Alexa is their best friend
2. They hate each other
After an “oops, we made a mistake” night together, neither one can stop thinking about the other. With Alexa’s wedding rapidly approaching, Maddie and Theo both share bridal party responsibilities that require more interaction with each other than they’re comfortable with. Underneath the sharp barbs they toss at each other is a simmering attraction that won’t fade. It builds until they find themselves sneaking off together to release some tension when Alexa isn’t looking, agreeing they would end it once the wedding is over. When it’s suddenly pushed up and they only have a few months left of secret rendezvouses, they find themselves regretting that the end is near. Two people this different can’t possibly have a connection other than the purely physical, right?But as with any engagement with a nemesis, there are unspoken rules that must be abided by. First and foremost, don’t fall in love.
