Rachel Vinson is a bridesmaid for hire: part confidante, part wedding planner, and one hundred percent pretend BFF. Discretion guaranteed. Her next gig is a destination wedding—livestreamed and sponsored—for an Instagram influencer. That means a paradise of new contacts, which could be a boon to her already booming business. If Rachel can keep the very handsome and slightly too interested best man at bay, that is.

High-tech entrepreneur Camden Lewis must know: Who is this gorgeous, intelligent, and mysterious woman? Too good to be real. Convinced she’s a corporate spy out to tank his company, Camden’s not letting her out of his sight. But the constant surveillance is also opening his eyes to things about Rachel that he likes. If she’s a spy, she’s certainly the cutest one he’s ever seen.

As the week’s worth of wedding events march along, Rachel and Camden are learning almost everything there is to know about each other. Rachel’s made a career out of always a bridesmaid…but perhaps there’s a chance for her own trip down the aisle?

My Review:

The Paid Bridesmaid was a cute romcom about a women who brides pay to be their BFF. An interesting premise, for sure, I was pulled in from the very beginning. The author's writing style, characters, and setting kept me engaged. I loved the influencer destination wedding. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the heroine's career. Rachel's character is closed-off to romance for a couple reasons: her backstory, revealed later in the book, and her corporate rules. Her employees are not allowed to mess around with anyone from the bridal party. 

All that goes up in smoke when Rachel meets Camden, the best man at the wedding she's attending as the maid of honor. Too quick to ignore inconsistencies, Rachel has her work cut out for her as she maneuvers around Cam. She wants to protect Sadie and keep to their confidentiality clause, but Cam makes it difficult for her to remember why she needs to avoid him. Their chemistry quickly ignites and is undeniable from their very first meeting. 

I enjoyed everything about The Paid Bridesmaid. Fun, quirky characters, beautiful location, imperfect situations, and true-to-life conflicts. I can't wait to read more by this author.

I'm a Prime member and this was available to me to read as such.
