Review of Decoy Date (The Wedding Date Book 4) by Mira Lyn Kelly Brody has had enough of his friend Gwen mooning over some dumbass guy who can't see the forest for the trees. In other words, can't see how amazing Gwen is. So he comes up with a plan to get Gwen the guy. Of course we all know how these plans go - horribly! And that's exactly what happens when Gwen and Brody start their fake relationship. They catch feelings and of course then the dumbass guy realizes how amazing Gwen really is, and mucks up Gwen and Brody's newfound relationship. Roll eyes. Not at the story because it's pretty adorable, but at human nature, and roll eyes at Ted, the dumbass guy. Because, although Brody and Gwen insisted that Ted is really a great guy, even at the end, I never saw him that way and I hated that Gwen wasted all her time on such an idiot. An idiot who wasn't worthy of her, ever. Not in the past, and not in the present. He was icky if you ask me. Thank God Brody g...

Review of Just This Once (The Wedding Date Book 3) by Mira Lyn Kelly Molly used to have a huge crush on her best friend, Sean, who is also her brother's friend. But she's over it (not really), so when Sean moves himself into her place after kicking out her freeloading roommate, she's sure they can manage. But, can they really when those old feelings pop up and lines start blurring between them? And when they dive into a fwb situation, it has the potential to get ugly, especially because Molly refuses to let Sean tell her brother they're together. While I normally love friends to lovers and brother's friend romances, I'm afraid this one didn't really do much for me. I just could not really connect with their story. I thought it was sweet, and I liked Sean, but Molly irritated me a lot. She was so wishy washy and hot and cold with Sean, and it drove me bonkers! So, while sweet, this one just did not work for me I'm afraid. ARC via NetGalley. #...
