No groom? No Problem.
When her fiancé tries to turn their wedding into a publicity stunt, Jenna ditches the nuptials—and the groom she shouldn’t have been with in the first place—and skips straight to the honeymoon. The getaway driver, her ex-fiancé’s former business partner, Zach, is the perfect guy to help reshape her romantic newlywed itinerary into an anti-couple, anti-romance, anti-honeymoon adventure for two.
They trade couples yoga for kickboxing lessons. Five-star dining on the beach for pizza and beer at a dive bar. Forget couples massage—Jenna’s getting that tattoo she’s always wanted, and dares Zach to get one, too. And those naughty boudoir pics she took in place of romantic sunset snaps? Those aren’t going in anyone’s wedding album. Not that Zach will forget them anytime soon.
As each item on Jenna’s anti-couples list is checked off, the anti-honeymoon with Zach feels more and more like the real thing, and she wishes the list was just a little bit longer...and even steamier.
I was sucked in by the cover at fist for this one. I thought it looked fun and whimsical!
Unfortunately, I feel like the cover didn’t really match the story. The characters’ descriptions didn’t completely seem to line up with the models on this one. Which is totally fine…Just an observation.
Usually, I struggle with books in the beginning. It takes me a bit to connect with the characters. But, I actually think I liked the beginning of this one better than the rest. The start was was so intriguing and I was so excited to see what happened next…It was such a great start to hook in the reader.
This whole story was funny, sweet, and just the book I needed to relax during this past crazy weekend. I enjoyed the humor interspersed throughout and the author’s ability to make me laugh. This is one of those reads where you don’t take anything too seriously. I really enjoyed Zach’s character and felt he was a VAST improvement on Elliott!
I do wish there had been more at the end. I really appreciate a good, solid happy-ending with a little extra to seal the deal.
All-in-all, the author has a great writing voice, and this story was very entertaining!
