The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory
The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory (book 3 in The Wedding Date series) is a contemporary romance about two people who have two things in common:
1. Alexa is their best friend.2. They hate each other.
When Alexa announces she is getting married, her friends Theo and Maddie know they'll end up spending a lot more time together than they would like. Since they'll be sharing bridal party responsibilities, they decide they might as well get together to blow off some steam. That one-night stand turns into a full-fledged secret affair with the
kind of ground rules that just don't last. As they spend more time together, they both realize that maybe they don't actually hate each other after all.
As they get to know each other better, in addition to discussing her ambitions to grow her business as a personal stylist, Maddie also shares with Theo her guilty pleasures of watching The Great British Baking Show. Together they learn that in Great Britain this show is called The Great British Bake Off, but in the US they had to change the name because Pillsbury owns the trademark for the term "Bake Off." They enjoy watching this show together because it is so wholesome. Even though the contestants are competing against one another, they really want everyone in the tent to be successful in their baking. It's the perfect way to unwind after a stressful day.
On the very first night they spend together, Theo impresses Maddie with his secret passion for dancing. When he is home alone he moves the furniture, rolls up the carpet, and perfects his dancing skills in his own living room. At first Maddie laughs at this, but learns to appreciate Theo's passions and guilty pleasures as he does hers.
Full of fun and unexpected connection, The Wedding Party is a great continuation of stories of various romances that spring from the couple we first meet in The Wedding Date. While you don't have to read these books in order to enjoy them, it is definitely fun to see how the threads of each of the characters intertwine throughout the books as the series continues.
