Hi! I'm Jen, 24 and from the North West of England. Blogging about books, baking and everything in between. I also want to thank the publishers Moon Manor Press and the writer Carla Luna for my e-copy of this book. I enjoyed it and I hope others will as well. About the Author

He groaned. That’s not what I meant. I’d be up for a normal vacation, like a weekend in the mountains. But weddings have this weird impact on women. Was he making a huge mistake? The last time he attended a wedding, he made a total ass of himself. He still hadn’t fully recovered from the debacle. Cute Romantic Comedy Troupe with HEA. Easy listening and the narrator has a soothing voice. Read more Much like in her first novel, Luna is excellent at building the world around her characters. I’ve never been to the area that it depicts (if it’s even real?) but the descriptions are so detailed and vivid, you feel like – as a reader – you are right there with the characters.

You promised. She hated how whiny she sounded, but he’d agreed six weeks ago. If anything, she’d been pleasantly surprised at how easily he capitulated. After I went with you to the Oakland Triathlon, you said you’d do this for me. I know. And you’re right—Chris didn’t respect me. I realize I’m better off without him, but that doesn’t solve the problem. He was my plus-one for the wedding. I told my entire family about him. Chris. I wasn’t expecting you. Her hand flew to her head, where her topknot had unraveled to the point of no return. How about I go freshen up? Why don’t you have a seat on the… Clearly, the couch wasn’t an option.

Nothing could equal the agony he’d experienced when he recovered and realized what he’d done. Though Marc and the rest of his family had since forgiven him, he still had moments when he lay awake in misery, replaying the entire hellscape.The romance between April and Brody is fantastic and equal parts sweet and steamy. Both April and Brody are nerds, and I loved their references to Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and more. They are the best of friends, and they are a great support to each other. They have such fun together, and it’s clear that they can be completely themselves when they are together. Both have had bad and recent breakups and are a little hesitant about love. However, they have a special connection and care deeply for each other. I love how they slowly admit their feelings for each other and how their relationship grows and transitions throughout the story. They have such fantastic chemistry, and their ease with and love for each other is relatable, realistic, and swoon-tastic! I totally related to this couple, as my husband and I were friends before we became more. We are also big nerds, much like April and Brody.

Too bad there’s a grueling 10K race and a cutthroat trivia night to endure. Not to mention a massive secret to protect.

He’d been so distraught he’d gotten wasted at the rehearsal dinner, made an inappropriate speech, and passed out at the table. It has the one bed trope, it has the forced proximity trope, fake dating, friends to lovers, and protective male She grabbed a wooden spoon and waved it at him. You need to wait until tomorrow. I still have to frost them.
