About this listen

A sunny bridesmaid-for-hire and a grumpy best man put love to the test in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

High school principal Will Valentine doesn’t believe in love. But his best friend is getting married after a whirlwind romance and has asked him to be the best man. So here he is, a man named for the patron saint of lovers, who doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage yet is somehow color coordinating for the event. No one is more surprised than Will when he starts falling for the bubbly and vivacious maid of honor who loves all things love, but strangely doesn’t seem to know the bride all that well.

But what happens when he discovers Randi’s undercover identity? What begins as a battle of wills between the two soon turns into a flirtatious game. Between cake tastings and dress fittings, will these two opposites find their own once-in-a-lifetime love?

A little predictable

There was a lovely but predictable ending to finish off a book that was an easy listen

why is the guy so aggressive?

so maybe it was a character choice to voice the male lead as those the he is permanently upset by everything, but it really grated! then the family lead sounded like she was on the edge of tears - not so good when the character is supposed to be "bouncy"

Decent read. Loved the Bi rep.

It is giving 27 Dresses. Without the dresses. Will seems like a petulant, spoiled only child who never grew up. I did like his principal student relationship with Henry.

very average

there is nothing outstanding or intriguing in this storyline, it was a struggle to listen to the female narrator's voice.

Too ‘cutesy’

Too ‘cutesy’ and unbelievable - perhaps suitable for a pre-teen audience. Characters were over the top

Struggled to finish

Story was very predictable with no real tension. The main characters seemed immature, so much I wondered how old they were meant to be. They weren’t helped by the narration, the male character sounded aggressive or intense most of time and I just didn’t enjoy the way the FMC was read.

These Characters Shouldn't Get Married

No wonder she started a business in being a bridesmaid for hire, she literally only did it for herself. She presented ad doing it for the Bride but she made her friend's elopement (something they did for themselves bc it's THEIR marriage and promise to one another) about herself? crazy behaviour
also, he was also just selfish in holding a pact they made AS KIDS, like grow up dude.

Physically cringed at his alpha male comment and mafs and glee has taught me to never trust male teachers that think incredibly highly of themselves. yuck.
