Book Review: The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory

Title: The Wedding Party
Author: Jasmine Guillory
Series/Standalone: The Wedding Date (Book #3)
Genre: Adult, Romance
Pages: 351
Publisher: Berkley
Year Published: 2019
Format: Audiobook

"Maddie and Theo have two things in common:

1. Alexa is their best friend.

2. They hate each other

After an 'Oops, we made a mistake' kiss, neither one can stop thinking about the other. With Alexa's wedding rapidly approaching, Maddie and Theo both share bridal party responsibilities that require more interaction with each other than they're comfortable with. underneath the sharp barbs they toss at each other is a simmering attraction that won't fade. It builds until they find themselves sneaking off together to release some tension when Alexa isn't looking.

But as with any engagement with a nemesis, there are unspoken rules that must be abided by. First and foremost, don't fall in love."

My Rating: 4/5

This was exactly what I have been wanting from Jasmine Guillory books. As I continue with the series the characters get increasingly complex and far more interesting in their narrative. I also have enjoyed the slight plot that has been going on within the books. It's lovely to see past characters and where they end up in the future. It's also lovely to see that the conflict has become more believable over time. I think that's something I struggle with sometimes in romance because my partner and I strongly believe in communication so when the conflict is just miscommunication I become frustrated. The only reason this book didn't get a 5/5 is that I don't like mainly fade to black sex scenes, it's just not what I'm looking for if I'm reading a romance. Someone I watch on booktube also pointed out how big of a thing food is in these books and now I can't help but notice the detail that is given almost too much detail. Will I be reading the Christmas book in summer? Why of course!

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
