Julia Toth's Reviews > Wedding Bet

4.25☆

I enjoyed this book quite a lot and it was a pretty quick read for me. This was fun and I'd say it was pretty low angst, but also had some emotional parts, that had me a bit teary eyed.

Jamie and Landry are attending the wedding of Adam and Chase that is held at a ski resort in Colorado and they are there for a week. Jamie is Chase's brother, but it was a bit weird to me that he wasn't in the bridal party. Granted I have no idea what the customs are, but it seemed a bit weird, because they had a great relationship. Landry met the grooms while working his marketing job and had become great friends with them.
I enjoyed that Jamie and Landry tried to get to know each other and become friends, but their chemistry was too strong for that. What I didn't enjoy that much was the whole back and forth regarding what they wanted to do: be casual, only be friends, etc. They changed their minds a lot, and I get where they were coming from-Jamie had low self-esteem and Landry was disillusoned because of past relationships-, but I just wanted them to talk it out. They did talk things out, but after getting back from the wedding Jamie got overwhelmed with how different their lives were and didn't contact Landry for a couple of days. I was happy to see Jamie calling Landry and finally talking things out and agreeing to give the relationship a try.
I liked the both tried to build each other up and assauge their doubts. Both Jamie and Landry needed to feel like they were enough for the other person and that is never an easy journey, but the outcome is always great. They were sweet and swoony together, but I would have liked to see more of their lives together, and how they navigated being together while Landry had to travel for work and also both of them having busy schedules.

It was nice seeing some familiar faces from the Fixer Brothers family, while also seeing Jamie and Landry's relationship blossom. Also, I adore Marshmallow as a nickname and "love" as an endearment.

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.
