Oh my heart, no one does romantic comedy quite like Lila Monroe! Her characters are down-to-earth with fatal flaws that somehow make them even more endearing. She then gives us a laugh-out-loud hilarious story full of tender heart and deep emotion, and every story is irresistible.

Olivia, our shero from Wild Card, makes an appearance to work a little matchmaking magic for her cousin, Charlie Fox. Charlie has twelve weddings to attend in the next month and he needs a date. A date who understands it's for show only and there's absolutely no chance for any kind of romantic relationship with Charlie. Zero. Zip. Nada. He simply does not do them. He has his reasons, you see.

Grace Summerville knew Charlie back in their small home town. She may have tutored him in high school, but that's where their association ends, and their lives have gone down two very different paths.

Charlie is a successful businessman and owns one of the hottest night clubs in the city, along with his buddies from college. And Olivia, well, she’s picking up the pieces of what once was her life, having been fired from her latest job and trying to avoid her ex who's now engaged to her ex-best friend. Posing as Charlie’s date looks like it's a good idea for her bank account, at least.

I don’t remember the last time I had this much fun in a romcom world. The creative weddings and venues alone make it worth the read. I laughed my way through the pages, careful about eating or drinking in order to keep my record of receiving zero Heimlich maneuvers intact. While I gobbled this up in one sitting, my emotions felt like a pinball in a spirited game, running the full gamut and back multiple times.

Because as much humor as this book contains, there's also a surprising amount of heart that manipulated my own in the most delicious ways. Between the comedic and romantic components, and then catching up with some favorite characters like Poppy and Dylan's, this one is the whole package. Run post haste, click the buy button, and start reading this humorous, heartfelt, out-of-this-world amazing read today!
