"Newsflash. You don't buy me, a$#%^*e. You earn me."
The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They're the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double Check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the Best Man? More like the Worst Man.
But Maid of Honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She's got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a Best Man with a big attitude and an even bigger...checkbook? Yeah, there's no way she's going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend's wedding. No matter how sexy he is. (Well, that's the plan anyway...)
Aiden Kilbourn doesn't do long-term relationships. He's busy ruling the business world, and has yet to find a woman he can tolerate for longer than a month, two at the outside, anyway. Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter. And he hasn't met a challenge that he can't win. But Franchesca Baranski? This smart-mouthed girl from Brooklyn may just be his downfall.
Lucy Score is one of my all-time, favorite, go-to authors. The way she writes comedy and romance is just–It’s amazing.
But, this is probably one of my least favorites.
The story started out promising with the two main characters meeting–and kind of hating each other, instantly. Well, Frankie hated Aiden when he compared her to a prostitute… And then there was the fact that because of him, one of their best friends was kidnapped hours before he was supposed to get married… You can see why Frankie had issues.
However, the attraction was always there with these two. And they really did have tons in common. Enough that their coupling didn’t ever feel contrived or forced. And the side characters–mostly Frankie’s family–were enough to make me laugh out loud at their antics. I LOVED them!
I think the reason this one wasn’t a four-star or higher was just because I had a difficult time liking Frankie. She was a great character in many ways–but she was also a little too cold for me. She pushed Aiden away, even when she knew she shouldn’t. She kind of always expected the worst of him.
I did enjoy this one, but unlike her others, I don’t think I’ll be re-reading this.
About Lucy Score
Lucy is a Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon Kindle Store bestseller of romantic comedies and contemporary romance. She grew up in rural Pennsylvania with a lot of time on her hands and a big imagination. She was the oldest of three in a book-obsessed household. Dinners were often spent in silence while family members had their noses buried in books. A passion for writing took hold at five when she taught her brother to write his name on the bathroom door.
She started writing (on paper) in the second grade, first about pilgrims on the Mayflower and over the years graduated to essays, articles, blogs, and finally books. "Pretend You're Mine" was her runaway hit and she's been writing full-time ever since.
Non-romance-writing jobs have included event planner, bartender, newspaper lackey, and yoga instructor.
Lucy and Mr. Lucy, enjoy spending time with their 1.7 million nieces and nephews and laying on beaches with umbrella drinks.
Even though it doesn’t seem like the best read ever it does sound like a solid 3 star read and that’s perfectly okay. And I love some good hate-to-love trope!
