Always a Bridesmaid

By: Erin Clark, Laura Lovely

Narrated by: Andrew Eiden, Krystal Hammond

A sunny bridesmaid-for-hire and a grumpy best man put love to the test in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

High school principal Will Valentine doesn’t believe in love. But his best friend is getting married after a whirlwind romance and has asked him to be the best man. So here he is, a man named for the patron saint of lovers, who doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage yet is somehow color coordinating for the event. No one is more surprised than Will when he starts falling for the bubbly and vivacious maid of honor who loves all things love, but strangely doesn’t seem to know the bride all that well.

But what happens when he discovers Randi’s undercover identity? What begins as a battle of wills between the two soon turns into a flirtatious game. Between cake tastings and dress fittings, will these two opposites find their own once-in-a-lifetime love?

Yay for wedding “floof”!

A delightful twist on (kinda) enemies to lovers.
Relatable characters who you can’t help but root for.

interesting fresh storyline.

fun story with great narrators. i like how all the characters evolved. fun. unique. moved along.

Well done!

Likeable, caring characters who develop as the story progresses. Interesting subplot. This is a very sweet story.

Cute Idea…but Annoying

Normally this is right up my alley, but I really struggled to root for these MCs. Both are incredibly self centered, but at least the MMC had an arc. We got to learn why he thinks the way he does and see him grow past his hang ups. The FMC was just an egocentric disaster. Made everything about her and her feelings and lacked any character arc. Never apologized for her behavior, just cried and got her way. I’ve never disliked a character I was supposed to like so much.

Great Story

This story was fun and entertaining. The characters were relatable and likeable. Great story that kept me listening and interested in how the story would unfold.

Fun listen‼️‼️

I have insomnia so it’s nice to have something that I can enjoy that’s not heavy but is entertaining! This rom-com fits the bill! It’s not high art! We aren’t talking Tolstoy; but come on! It’s brief; “cute” & if you like rom-coms, it’ll hold your interest — @ least it did mine! & I wouldn’t be opposed to reading it again in a few months or a year — & I got it for Free with my membership so how great is that‼️ 😁

loved the storyline

Would like a part 2. When ? Enjoyed the story. Going listen to more books by this author.

Light hearted read

it was a light book to listen to, very predictable but an interesting story. I do agree with most reviews that it seems like the author wanted to be so inclusive that they just added inclusion for the sake of it and for the most part didn't bring anything to the story. The female narrator was good, but she does sound like she's shushing. I think her other voices sound much better the one she used for the female lead. Teddy was wonderful as usual, lol we know it is you Teddy.

cute simple read

very cute and simple. not smut. it was easy and fun to get through.

Cute story

The side story with the kid, Henry, for the MMC and when the FMC finally breaksdown make the characters feel more life-like. It wasn't just your typical romance story. This had several types of relationships and love that each had their HEA by the end.
