THE WEDDING DATE DISASTER
By Avery Flynn
Release: August 25, 2020
Blurb
I can’t believe I have to go home to
Nebraska for my sister’s wedding. I’m gonna need a wingman and a whole
lot of vodka for this level of family interaction. At least my bestie agreed he’d man up and help. Too bad he had
to catch a different flight than me. Then his plane got delayed. And finally—because
bad things always happen in threes—instead of my best friend, his evil twin
strolls out of the airport.
If you looked up doesn’t-deserve-to-be-that-confident,
way-too-hot-for-his-own-good billionaire in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of Will Holt. He’s awful. Horrible. The worst—even
if his butt looks phenomenal in those jeans.
Ten times worse? My buffer was
supposed to be there to keep me away from the million and one family events.
But Satan’s spawn just grins and signs us up for every. Single. Thing.
Fine. “Cutthroat” Scrabble? I’m in. I can’t wait to take this guy down a
notch.
But somewhere between Pictionary
and the teasing glint in his eyes, our bickering starts to feel like more than
just a game…

Excerpt:
Will. It’s good to have you here for this special occasion.”
“Thanks for having me, and please let me know what I
can do to help.” The polite words came out almost as
a reflex, because the answer was always no when it came to big events that were
always catered and planned by professionals.
“Don’t suppose you can cook?” Sharon asked.
Considering she probably didn’t want her entire family slightly
poisoned by undercooked chicken, there was only one answer he could give. “No, but I can wash dishes like you wouldn’t believe.”
“Good.” She gave him a real smile this time
that had the corners of her eyes crinkling. “You’ve got a job.”
As everyone started to walk inside, Hadley pulled him
back half a step. “Do you even know how to wash dishes?”
“I can load a dishwasher.” Occasionally he even did it. Usually, though, the
cleaning crew took care of all that at his Harbor City penthouse.
“But have you ever actually done that?” She took a step closer, looking up at him with a
knowing little smirk—the one that told him she knew just how full of shit he
was. “Have you ever washed dishes by hand?”
“I’m not a complete spoiled jerk,” he said, sounding exactly like one even to his own
ears.
She just lifted an eyebrow.
God, she was pushy—something that should have been
annoying. Really, it was annoying. Completely. Utterly. Without a doubt. That
was the only reason why he couldn’t drag his attention away from that smart mouth of hers because he
couldn’t believe what words came out of it.
“Okay, fine.” He closed the distance between
them, using the advantage of his height to look down at her. “No. I haven’t, but I’m sure I won’t have a problem excelling at it just like I do every- thing else.”
“Oh really?” she asked, not giving an inch. “I suppose you can also excel at all the ranching chores, like help check
the fencing and gather eggs and muck the stalls, too.”
“Of course,” he said, his mouth running without
his brain because all he could think about was how badly he wanted to kiss that
knowing grin off her face right now. “By the end of the week, your relatives will be
thinking of me like I’m just another cowboy in the family. They’re gonna love me.”
Hadley scoffed. “No. Fucking. Way.”
“Wanna bet?”
He had no idea why he was doing this. Proving
her wrong about his abilities to wash dishes or muck
fences or mend stalls or be a beloved member of her family wasn’t on his agenda. He was here for
one reason: to convince her to take her gold-digger hooks out of his brother.
She was priming Web, softening him up for the taking. He’d seen it before—lived it—and the
pattern was the same as what Mia had done to him. Start with friendship, add in
some damsel-in-distress bullshit like her I-really-need-you-to-go-to-my-sister’s- wedding ploy, and then go in for
the multimillion- dollar kill.
“So do we have a bet or not?” he asked.
“Bet on what?”
she asked as
she pantomimed pulling finger guns from a holster on each side of her round
hips and shooting them into the air like a trick shot. “That you can become a rootin’ tootin’ city slicker cowboy much beloved by
my family in a week? It’ll never happen.”
Oh, it was definitely happening now. Winning was his
specialty. There was no way he’d lose to her. “If you lose, you leave my brother alone. If I lose—which
isn’t going to happen—I’ll never mention you being a gold digger again, and I’ll get out from between you and my
brother.”
Hadley released a dramatic sigh and pressed the back
of her hand to her forehead. “Oh no, all my plans to marry a billionaire are in
jeopardy.”
Such a smart-ass.
Oh boy the snark and sass is strong in this one!! I'm not kidding. The witty banter between the characters made this an entertaining enemies/haters to lovers story.
Hadley has to return home for her sisters wedding and expecting her best friend to be her plus one, however who ends up going is Web’s twin Will. Can they pull off a fake date with her family or is it destined to fail?
Sometimes what we show our families isn’t always the truth and perhaps Hadley has been trying to protect her family from seeing/knowing what her life is really like now.
With having to room with Will in a cabin for a week, needless to say the angry conversations, steamy tension and family meddlesome moments made this one great story. I laughed, commiserated and felt for what they all go through. Will’s trust issues are crazy but I thought the way things ended was fantastic! I loved the family games most and especially Hadley’s grandpa, he was gold!
