Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
When drama threatens to ruin a romance on a reality show, only a true friend can save a groomzilla’s wedding. Daniel Green, an event planner with a neat, quiet, orderly life, reluctantly agrees to plan the wedding of his childhood friend Ander, an outrageous fashion designer soon to marry a wealthy entertainment lawyer named Rafe. To complicate matters, the happy couple have agreed to have their wedding made into a reality show—something that practical Daniel isn’t sold on.
Daniel is neither a romantic nor a wedding planner, but he’s the only person in the world who can manage Ander. Distracting him from his mission is Owen Grainger, a too-handsome-to-be-true producer whose quiet charm pulls Daniel into his orbit.
When the stress of the show triggers bad behavior from Ander, co-producer Victor Pierce decides it’s the key to a ratings bonanza, and he begins to undermine Ander and Rafe’s relationship to create more drama. Daniel is determined to protect his friend and his own reputation, but when he finds himself falling hard for Owen, there’s much more at stake than ratings.
I don’t know how I missed this book when it came out and I wish I would have read it sooner. What a gem this was. It was both funny and adorably romantic. Daniel and Owen had the greatest chemistry together. They shared some really touching and emotional moments, a few that even made my eyes tear up. Their smexy scenes on the other hand burned up the pages. I had a few issues with Ander’s behavior and if he had been my friend I would have been furious at some of the stuff he did. That part of the story though wrapped itself up in to a very beautiful and emotional moment also and I once again got teary-eyed.
This book was narrated by Nick J. Russo. I’ve listened to a lot of his narrations and have enjoyed them all but I think this may be one of his best. He did a great job on all of the voices and his narration of Owen in particular was great.
I definitely recommend this book. I really enjoyed everything about it. I highly recommend the audio version. It’s short, about 5 hours, and worth every minute.
Cover by Anna Sikorska: I like the cover but don’t love it. The models on the cover do represent the way the characters are described in the book. It’s nice enough but doesn’t really stand out to me.

While Shax recovers from a near fatality, his shipmates have been busy. He’s rather proud of them taking the initiative and finding them a lucrative cargo run.

Time travel has never been so messy.
In the year 2081 our planet survived global warming of an apocalyptic scale. When the dust settled and the water receded Dr. Anthony Smith, one of only a few hundred survivors of GWI, started society anew.

This gene has the ability to manipulate human DNA to ensure that all male children be born gay, and all female children be born lesbians. A new society is born.

Ten years before, he hoped Alaska would bring him a sense of his manhood. Now the “last frontier” could put him in an early grave.

This audiobook was very short but managed to pack a lot of the back story of the many years that best friends Ethan Baker and Jude Harrison have spent together by using a twist on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
