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…



The Wedding Date Disaster is another excellent book by Avery Flynn. Her books are sassy, romantic, filled with a taste of strife, and fun. 

Hadley Donovan is headed to Nebraska for a week to prepare for her younger sister's wedding. Her family is a lot to take so she asks her best friend Web to accompany her. When Web's plane lands in Denver shortly after her's, Hadley can't wait to see him. What better way to spend a 5-hour road trip to her family's ranch than with her bestie?! Except, as her tall, good-looking friend swaggers across the airport toward her, Hadley realizes is isn't Web - it's his identical twin brother, Will. The evil twin, the twin that Hadley can't stand. Now she has to figure out how to survive the week with not only her family but the nuisance in the best looking pair of jeans and cowboy hat ever. This week is going to be a nightmare.

Will knows that Hadley is just playing with her brother, trying to figure out some way to latch on to all the Holt money. When Web is unable to fly to Denver to meet Hadley, Will volunteers. What better way to keep Hadley away from Web and prove that she's just like all the other golddiggers, right? Eventually, the chemistry between them changes from hatred to something else and Hadley and Will fight against it until it's no longer possible to deny. When they open up to one another the truth in Hadley's past made me emotional for her loss and how that loss set her up and made her the person she is today. Finally discussing her past trauma also allowed her to open up and be truthful with her family. She is not all put together and successful like they think she is. In fact, she's currently the exact opposite, but she put on a brave face and tried to fake it-til she made it.

Will also has a traumatic past concerning an ex-girlfriend. His experiences with the ex are why he's the way his is today. When you have a lot of money, people who say they are your friends and love you, come out of the woodwork. He and Web have worked extremely hard to keep Holt together, profitable, and successful. His ex stomped on his feelings and his heart and now Will assumes all women who show him and Web any sort of attention are just out for their money and their name.

The Wedding Date Disaster may be classified as a romcom but it is so much more. The author took two imperfect characters and made them completely perfect for each other. There are tears, judgments made, assumptions to boot, but there is also family, truthfulness, love, and joy. And let's not forget about PawPaw!!

One of my favorite romance tropes, this book is one of the best enemies-to-lovers book I have ever read. 

I was provided a copy of this book to read.
