I really appreciate how Mia Sosa addresses the issues women of color face with expectations of and judgement about their behavior. The world needs more romance heroes like Max.Īnd then there’s Lina.

The way he pokes and prods Lina is hilarious and reminds me a lot of my own spouse, so mayyyyybe that’s part of why I love him so much. He’s the biggest cinnamon roll hero ever, and his relationship with his BFF Dean is so amazingly wholesome and absent of toxic masculinity that I can’t even. He’s got insecurities and some emotional scars from a past relationship, but he doesn’t let it turn him into an alphahole. We both laughed out loud several times and at one point I laughed so hard I cried. I buddy read this with by BFF Ari and it was basically the best choice I made all year. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again… Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own.īut even the best laid plans can go awry, and soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. If they can survive the next few weeks and nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning-absolutely off-limits-ex-fiancée. Tired of living in his older brother’s shadow, marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand.

There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials. After impressing an influential guest, she’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s managed to make other people’s dreams come true as a top-tier wedding coordinator in DC. Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. Perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne!Ī wedding planner left at the altar.
