Blurb:
USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn’s latest
bauble is the charming story of a crafting queen battling a jaded divorce
lawyer on a wedding reality show.
Luna Wu is a veritable crafting genius—she can bedazzle
and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only
natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete
on The Wedding Game, a
“do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert.
As a jaded divorce lawyer, Alec Baxter scoffs at weddings and
romance. But when his recently engaged brother begs him to participate in The Wedding Game, Alec grudgingly picks
up a glue gun and prepares for some family bonding.
Both fierce competitors, Luna and Alec clash on national
TV as harsh words and glitter fly with abandon. But as they bicker over color
swatches and mood boards, they find themselves fighting something else: their
growing mutual attraction. While Luna is torn between family loyalty and her
own feelings, Alec wonders if he might have been wrong about love and marriage
all along…
Excerpt:
“Are
you ready?” Farrah says, coming from behind me and massaging my shoulders. I
move my head side to side while we both hop up and down. “Did you do those
finger exercises I told you about?”
I
flex my fingers and nod. “Yup, all warmed up.”
“Do
you have your game face on?” Farrah spins me around and grips my shoulders as I
mean mug it at her. “Ooo, you’ve been practicing in the mirror. I can tell.”
“When
I brush my teeth. I really feel like I’ve mastered the scowl.”
“Honey,
you mastered the scowl years ago. Now you’re just coming into your own with
it.” She holds up her hands, and I start boxing into them as we leap around the
apartment. “Quick on your feet, quick on your feet.” Farrah swings her hand at
me, and I duck. “Focus, hone your attention.”
“Focused.”
“Tell
me, who’s going to kill it today?”
“I
am.” I bob back and forth and then give Farrah a one-two punch to her hands.
“Who’s
going to do anything necessary, even sit on someone’s face if you need to, in
order to win today’s challenge?”
“I
am. Show no mercy. My ass is coming for your face.”
Farrah
pauses, winces. “I’m not sure I like that.”
“Just
go with it.”
“Okay,
Luna’s ass is coming for your face.” She shrugs. “Next week let’s work on your
trash talk.”
“Might
be necessary.”
Circling
again, I box at Farrah’s hands, feeling light on my feet and ready for anything
that comes my way. “You’re going to ignore all conversations from Mr. Snobby
Shoes.”
“I
don’t even know he exists.”
“Your
eyes are on the prize. And what is that prize?”
“Giving
Cohen and Declan the best wedding possible.”
“Exactly.”
She lowers her palms. “Quick, flash me your hands.”
I
lift my hands, and she inspects them carefully.
“You
lotioned—good. Nails are clipped to a perfect length, and those fingers are
stretched and strong. Rotate your wrists for me.” She lowers her ear to my
wrists as I circle them around. “Perfect, no cracking, no tension.” She points
to the ground. “Fast feet.”
My
feet start bouncing up and down, like in those football movies, and I hold my
hands at my hips, ready for the call . . .
“Draw!”
Farrah shouts.
I
pull my glue gun from my hip and point it at her. “You’ve been glued.”
Farrah
claps her hands. “Reaction time was spot on. You’re ready.”
“Yeah?”
She
nods. “You got this, girl. This competition is yours for the taking. And
remember what we talked about: don’t focus on what you think will win . . .”
“Focus
on what will bring Cohen and Declan joy.”
My Review:
5 STARS
#OppositesAttract #GrumpyHero #RomanticComedy
I loved this enemies-to-lovers romance that takes place over
a couple of months during a reality show.
It is written in first person from a dual POV.
Alec had a terrible childhood. He as isolated himself and buried himself in
work. He doesn’t believe in love,
romance, or happily ever after. He is a
perfect wounded and grumpy hero who isn’t always nice in the beginning. I love that figures out that he needs to make
some relationships in his life a priority and goes after them. I loved seeing him open up to his brother,
Naomi, and to Luna.
Luna is sunshine and happiness. She is a beautiful young woman who cherishes
her family and pursues her dreams. I
love that she has a kind heart, and a feisty but loving spirit. She is exactly what Alec needs. I adore her relationship with her brother and
his fiancé.
The story packs passion, drama, and a fair dose of humor as
the competition heats up. I enjoyed the
story thoroughly and I definitely recommend it.
