Synopsis via Goodreads:
In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that’s no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake.
If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman.
I also used the phrase โsuper hot wingman,โ so Iโd like to die now.
Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami.
Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that letโs-infuriate-each-other game.
Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one.
Sign me up.
But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can’t happen. Especially when I find out the real reason whyโฆ
Review:
This book was cute, and laugh out loud funny in places.ย The accidental text and the “superhot” wingman?ย I would have died.ย Flat out wished for the floor to open up and swallow me whole.ย Just sayin’
โNothing except a time machine will erase the drunk texts I fired off last night somewhere between midnight and regret oโclock.โ
This was a pretty polarizing read in my goodreads circle.ย You will likely either love it or hate it.ย It has its issues,ย but I found it a fun, easy read if you don’t take it too seriously.ย It’s not all that believable/very OTT, but I didn’t really care while I was reading it.
Asher & Mark were the opposites attract type of couple.ย Asher is a free-spirited former professional soccer player turned photographer and Mark is a bitter banker/divorced single dad which gives us some great banter.ย They get voluntold to go down to palm beach to verify wedding details for Mark’s sister a couple days before the wedding and find more than they bargained for in those two days alone.ย Mark has a spreadsheet of all the dirty things he’s wanted to do to someone since he figured out that he was into men after he was married and never got the opportunity; and Asher tries to check all of them off his list while they’re away.ย ย
The question is, will it last when they leave their little bubble return to New York after the wedding?
It’s cheesy as hell, but I spent a snowy day curled up at home reading this one.ย It was just what I needed to put a smile on my face.ย ย
