He smells like Earl Grey tea in a snowy cabin. Bergamot and a thick wool blanket.

15 Spicy Sports Romance Books

It’s become a tradition of sorts for me to put up a new sports romance recommendation list this specific week every year, when everyone’s got the big game on their minds. It’s certainly not a hardship; sports romances are popular for a reason – it’s a versatile sub-genre that incorporates many, many different tropes. From college romances to professional athletes to retired players, there are so…

I’m no scientist, but I have a theory that when you treat people right and care, they’ll bend over backward to do just about anything you ask. Deep down, most people just want to be loved and appreciated and seen.

REVIEW

The Worst Wedding Date by Pippa Grant

Three BFF’s and a Wedding #1

~ Rom-Com, opposites attract, enemies to lovers, and more ~ Not for me but some will love it ~

What I liked: * Theo: kind, generous, thoughtful, wise, fun-loving, trouble-magnet, understands and likes himself, attracted to Laney

* Laney: intelligent, parent-pleaser, wants to run family business, prim, proper, wants to break free but doesn’t know how, attracted to Theo

* The friendship between Laney, Emma, and Sabrina that was warm, strong, and vibrant

* The cats – all of them

* The island setting though the resort had a lot of issues

* That eventually one couple realized they were not meant for one another and another couple found out the opposite

What I didn’t like: * It felt like everything was over the top or trying too hard to be funny

* I had trouble believing that the characters were nearly thirty and not still in their teens

* I never understood what Emma saw in Chandler

* I felt that Theo was labeled and misunderstood most of his life – and I can’t figure out why

* The blackmail feeling of the secrets some knew about others

* That I just couldn’t get into the story, feel with the characters, or easily see them together

Did I enjoy this book? Not so much

Have I read and enjoyed other books by this author? Yes

Would I read more by this author? If the synopsis/blurb sounded interesting, maybe

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

He’s a tattooed shirtless bad boy. My best friend’s brother. And the jerk on the other side of my bed. I didn’t know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride’s brother , but if that’s what my best friend needs of me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that’s what I’ll do. Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding. Even if it means we have to share a hotel room in Hawaii, which might be the final duty that breaks me. Not only does Theo know exactly how to push my buttons, but he never wears clothes, he’s hiding a litter of kittens in his room, and he keeps showing up with fresh-baked cookies that seemingly come from nowhere. Also? I have no idea what’s up with the tension between him and the groom. Or why he’s so proud of the world’s strangest wedding gift. Or why I suddenly want to know what makes him tick. The story behind his tattoos. How he can afford to rent a convertible in Hawaii. And if maybe all of that utter frustration and irritation I’ve felt for him for years is suppressed attraction that a good girl like me isn’t supposed to feel for the biggest bad boy of Snaggletooth Creek. But I do know one thing. When I find out his biggest secret and the answer to all of my questions, it will change everything . The Worst Wedding Date is a frolicking good time of a destination wedding enemies-to-lovers romcom, complete with a good girl bridesmaid, her best friend’s troublemaking but secretly big-hearted brother, and more than one hitch on the way to happily ever after. It stands alone, has no cheating, and comes complete with ooey gooey goodness.
