“What I can’t figure out…is why I can’t stop thinking about how
it used to be between us. Your
touch was poison Mason. But I also
think I was just an inexperienced girl who didn’t know any better. And in the interest of science, I was
hoping I could test that theory out and prove myself right.”- Reese
Description
via NetGalley:
"Surprised
to see me?"
Getting caught in her wedding
dress by her drop-dead-gorgeous ex-husband is Reese Michael's worst
nightmare. Especially when her perfect-on-paper fiancé then cancels
their wedding!
Reese has spent years trying to forget how her marriage to Mason
Hicks crashed and burned-yes, their chemistry was
incredible, but a girl can't live on lust alone! And what's a
jilted bride supposed to do when the one man she could never forget is back in
her life, as irresistible as ever? Mason might be
her own personal brand of Kryptonite, but surely life is
meant to be lived a little dangerously...?
My
Summary:
An ex-husband
showing up while a woman is in her bridal
dress is never a good sign…even though they’re not
at an actually wedding….yet.
Reese
didn’t think fitting
her beautiful gown 4 days before walking down the aisle
would be eventful. But lo and
behold, her ex-marine
ex-husband walks in for no reason other than to talk about their past. What’s worse, her wonderful fiancée
suggests to postpone
the wedding just so Reese can figure out who she really wants!
Mason only wants closure with Reese…plus his doctor
encouraged him to speak to people from his past, thinking it might help jog his
memory as he suffers from short
term memory loss from a bomb explosion that nearly
killed him during his tour of duty.
Sexual
tension and animal attraction aside, Reese
decides to ignore her leftover feelings for Mason seeing that she already has
the perfect fiancée, one that her filthy
rich parents finally approve of. It took years to get over mason,
and him showing up is merely reminding her of all that she has lost, including self esteem
from a marriage that
crumbled because he closed himself off from her and
everyone else.
But what if she never lost her feelings
for Mason? What if, after all
these years, all he really had to do, was come back to her? Will her head give in to her heart?
My
Review:
The tension between
these two characters was thick enough to slice. So much so that I couldn’t read fast
enough to see if they would or would not get back
together. Though of course,
knowing that this is a lighthearted romance, I
already knew coming in the ending would be happy. But it is written well enough that I still had doubts about its finality. So kudos to the
author for the really good build up.

| The 1st in the Wedding series |
I like both main characters Reese
and Mason. Reese is a sweetheart,
a Southern belle
type born into money whose parents had grand expectations about. Mason was….
Mason. A simple man who just wants
his wife and serve his country as best
he could. The other characters, the
three best friends of Reese, were likable characters as well
(the very ones we should watch out for in this series). And I love Dylan,
the fiancée. He has very few
scenes devoted to him yet you already know the good and gentle man that he is. I hope
he serves as one of the main characters in the series’ follow up books.
Passionate and Hot. The sex scenes are scorching. However is it
believable that within four short days a woman
would jump from her wonderful fiancée back to
an ex husband? Realistically speaking, I’m not sure, but this author sure made me believe it. Overall, this is a fun read. Well enough that
it may make you believe that a second chance at love can be a
good thing.
