Thank you to Entangled for gifting me a review copy of The Wedding Date Disaster by Avery Flynn. This is the fourth book in the Harbor City series, and while I hadn’t read the previous books I was able to dive into this one without any problems. I enjoyed this one so much I’ll for sure be going back to read the rest of the series though!

Our leading lady, Hadley Donavan has to go home to Nebraska for her sister’s wedding, something she is not looking forward to….because, well family can be a lot. Thanks to some poorly-timed food poisoning and a bit of conniving, instead of her best friend turning up to be her buffer, his brother shows up. And oh how she loathes every smokin’ hot inch of him. How two brothers (and twin brothers at that) can be so different is beyond her. But somewhere amidst all the pre-wedding events and family chaos, Will starts to shift from annoying to alluring.

This book was really fun, and y’all know how much I love an enemies to lovers trope, plus this book also has the one-bed situation which always spells trouble (in the best possible way)! I also thought the two main characters had great chemistry and there was lots of sassy dialogue (both spoken and internal), which I always enjoy. I’m not going to lie, there were a few times I wanted to slap the characters for doing dumb things, but there were also a lot of laugh-out-loud moments as well.

The book is told from both Hadley and Will’s points of view, which is great because you get to know what each of them is thinking, be a part of their ‘ah ha’ moments and see where they’re having miscommunications too.

In addition to really enjoying the main characters, I really loved Hadley’s family as well. Funny, sweet, no-nonsense folk I’d love to spend a weekend with. This is a great feel-good romance you should definitely check out. Oh, and did I mention there’s a three-legged fox named Lightning that likes to break in? Yeah, if for no other reason you’ll want to read this book just for him.

Synopsis:

Hadley Donavan can’t believe she has to go home to Nebraska for her sister’s wedding. She’s gonna need a wingman and a whole lot of vodka for this level of family interaction. At least her bestie agreed he’d man up and help. But then instead of her best friend, his evil twin strolls out of the airport.

If you looked up doesn’t-deserve-to-be-that-confident, way-too-hot-for-his-own-good billionaire in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of Will Holt. He’s awful. Horrible. The worst―even if his butt looks phenomenal in those jeans.

Ten times worse? Hadley’s buffer was supposed to be there to keep her away from the million and one family events. But Satan’s spawn just grins and signs them up for every. Single. Thing.

Fine. “Cutthroat” Scrabble? She’s in. She can’t wait to take this guy down a notch. But somewhere between Pictionary and the teasing glint in his eyes, their bickering starts to feel like more than just a game…
