Jasmine Guillory’s The Wedding Party
The third book in Guillory's romance series has the same stuff I’ve liked in her other books—fun characters, believable chemistry, interesting work and personal issues—but also has the one thing that I slightly dislike from her previous books. “Oh no, we were trying to do a casual thing but we both caught feelings and refuse to admit it and will instead have a silly fight!” But at least it happens LESS in this one? Anyway, the (hetero) romantic duo here are the two best friends of the protagonist from the /first/ book (her stylist and her coworker) and both are in her wedding party! (I really needed more wedding planning shenanigans in this plot, seriously.) They hate each other until they don’t and vow to keep their fling a secret from their friend. Things go about as you’d expect but, again, Guillory does such a good job with the characters that you’re just like, oooh work it out! Kiss and make up! And rooting for them etc. Another fun read, and I can’t wait for her next one, which is about the stylist's MOM and involves British royals?!? Yessssss. A-.

A review copy was provided by the publisher. This book will be released in July.
I liked this one 2nd best after The Wedding Date. I loved the Alexa stuff! And I loved how bitchy Maddy could be. Their "no strings" ridiculousness felt more believable somehow than Carlos and Nik. I, too, am pumped for the new one!
