Loved this!! I’m so glad that we got to see Jay and Elise in action. This was such a quick but super sweet romance. I loved it to pieces even though this group of friends are hella extra with their grand gestures. Still, I love these guys!
Just when I thought Jay had unpacked his baggage, I saw how he reacted to the news of his infertile wife being with child, and let me tell you, it was not good, folks.
I was pretty excited to catch up with Jay and Elise. These two charmed the pants off of me in Once Upon a Bride, and I was curious to see how things were going. I must confess, I was hoping Elise got pregnant in the first novella, and therefore, I was excited to see my wish come true in this installment. I was sort of shocked at Jay's reaction.
This event threw him for a loop, and it was really painful reliving his past with him. I, however, never lost faith in Jay. He had shown, time and time again, what a wonderful person he was, and with the help of his brother (and their de facto family), Jay confronted many of his demons. AND, once again, Jay showed that he was a man of many grand gestures. Yes, he aggravated and disappointed me, but man! He sure made up for it in a great way.
This book was fun and sexy, heartbreaking and heartwarming. I have nothing but love for these two board game lovers, and will never stop cheering for them to live "merrily ever after".
I am really excited to catch up with these two and all the rest of the Bridesmaids next year, when we get Gia's book.
