Title: The Wedding Date Deal

Series: Boyfriend in the Bargain #1

My Review:

The Wedding Date Deal is a fun fake-dating romcom.

I felt bad for Annie; she was experiencing a string of bad luck that had put her in a financial bind.

I also felt bad for Grant, having to go to his brother's wedding when he was marrying Grant's ex-fiancée! 

This is a quick read, full of humor and heart. Don't be fooled, though; both main characters have struggles that they need to work through. The main characters are likeable and will have you rooting for their happily-ever-after. There is also a great cast of side characters, most notably Annie's Gram and Grant's nephew Rowan.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

He needs a girlfriend and she needs some cash. Both of them get more than they bargain for when they strike an unusual deal.

Grant - The last thing I want to do is watch my brother marry my ex-fiancée. Nothing good can come from showing up to the wedding alone and revealing to my family just how much I haven’t moved on.

If I had a girlfriend, it might be a different story, but I’m definitely not ready for another relationship. My best friend’s suggestion that I hire a fake girlfriend is out of the question – except that it seems like the perfect solution to Annie’s dilemma, too.

Annie - I’ve never been a damsel in distress, but a streak of bad luck has left me so short on cash that when Grant proposes a deal that will help get my bank account back on track, I have to at least consider it.

All I have to do is pretend to be Grant’s girlfriend for a couple days at his brother’s beach wedding. Sure, it’s an unconventional arrangement, but how bad could it be?

The Wedding Date Deal is a sweet romantic comedy that will keep you laughing as you travel from Nashville, TN to the beaches of Florida. If you like meddling friends and family plus a slow-burn romance with chemistry but not too much heat, this is the book for you!

Tropes:
Fake dating
Rich boyfriend
Family drama
Slow burn romance
Closed door/kissing only
