Tara Bennett's Reviews > Wedding Bet

Jamie wasn’t where he hoped to be in his life, but he managed. With debt, a mediocre job, and a room in a place he shared with some nice but disastrous roommates, he had nothing to offer a potential partner, not to mention he had no time for dating anyhow. Using every dollar he can scrape together, he goes to his brother's wedding (Chase from a previous book) in the snowy Colorado mountains.

Landry wasn’t a fan of weddings, but Adam was his best friend, and there was no way he wouldn’t go. He loved the mountains and skiing, so it really wasn’t a hardship, but it still brought out unwanted feelings. He was reminded that it wasn’t even a year ago that his ex said no to his proposal. He would keep his head down and support his friend before returning to the life he had carefully crafted, which meant hookups and no feelings ever again.

The problem was that the adorable guy who looked like a marshmallow melted the ice unexpectedly for them both.

OPINION: I am a big fan of this series, and these books are always sweet with great MCs. Landry and Jamie were quite likable, and their story was lovely. I did feel some emotion toward the end, but this was a nice tale in which two men figure out that love will do what it wants, even if you try to deny it. Some nice spicy moments fit with the story. Even though they knew better, they fell into bed and had a good time. There were a few things that I wasn’t sure how to justify in my head, such as why the brother and best friend were not included in the rehearsal dinner. Or in the wedding party (even though not having traditional roles was addressed), some people must have been involved if there was a dinner. The back and forth between them was predictable. I did appreciate that Landry recognized Jamie’s need to be independent and cared about him regardless. Generally, I enjoyed the book. It was only peripherally involved with the Fixer Bros but fit with the story and was an enjoyable addition.
