Thanks, Helena, for the advanced copies!

Essie Lovelock is busy doing all the maid of honor things for her best friend’s wedding. The only hitch in her plans is Nate Stiles, best man and brother to the groom. He’s a rain cloud personified. The master of the furrowed brow. He’s also the one who gave her the best kiss of her life six years ago and – GASP – ghosted her! 

Now they’re thrown together organizing this destination wedding, the stag and doe and it’s putting thoughts in their heads. The Aruba vibes are bringing romance vibes – she’s in love with love and he doesn’t believe it even exists. Can they find a common ground? Or is this just going to be yet another hookup?

Aaaaaah! I LOVED this one! This is quintessential Helena Hunting with the banter, the swoon, the friends, everything. 

Though this can be read as a standalone, if you have been reading her books, you’ll be in heaven. The wedding couple is Rix and Tristan. Nate is Tristan’s brother. Essie is Cammie’s sister. Flip is Rix’s brother and as this is a wedding, well, the gang is all here!

This one has everything: grumpy hero, sunshine heroine, destination wedding shenanigans, fun in the sun, found family, the cucumber and sandwich jokes (IYKYK)… 

I loved it 3000. And it gets even better when you listen to the audiobook. Essie and Nate come with the voices of Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton in duet! They were absolutely PERFECT in this. Savannah’s voice is melodious and so versatile in portraying all the girls. Teddy is just adorable as the grumpy, besotted Nate who reluctantly falls head over heels (or rather admits that he has always been in love) with the girl he once ghosted. 

I am Helena Hunting card-carrying fan and it’s a joy when a book comes out. This was no exception. I devoured this one twice, first reading and then through audio.

All the jeweled, heart-shaped barbels! 😉
