Bestselling authors Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely team up for the first time in an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, irresistibly sexy standalone romance between the best man and the other best man! In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman,” so I’d like to die now. Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami. Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that let’s-infuriate-each-other game. Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one. Sign me up. But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can't happen. Especially when I find out the real reason why… Contents Include: First times, a secret to-do list, champion-level flirting, fast cars, #eggplants, and two men who look good in formal wear.

Yay Teddy Hamilton for the audiobook narration. Otherwise there's not much to say about this book.
This is such a good book! I'd expect nothing less from Karla Sorensen though. She takes you to tears and then has you laughing in the next chapter. My heart was beaming all the way through - this one's got me all in the feels! The KU version came with the audiobook for free and it was superb!
damn i really thought i was gonna love this but it was just so very meh. it started really strong too! i was feeling very 4-stars about it all in the beginning, and there were some great pieces, but. it was so flat, and just continued to get flatter as it went on somehow. it didn't even do anything super bad or anything i feel really critical over, it was just one-note. i originally rated this 3 stars when i completed it but a few weeks later i realize i only remember a couple random things that happened here. also i think some other people said it, but the characters were weirdly indistinguishable from each other, which was so strange considering it was dual pov.
you know that feeling when you catch yourself checking your watch during a movie and doing mental math to be like, how much is actually left of this movie? this book made me do that like. 3 or 4 times.
also, i USUALLY have zero issues suspending disbelief as i read a silly fun romance. but this one kept stretching me way too far, i kept pausing and being like ... wait, what? huh? like uhh can't even remember his name now but one of the guys is an investment banker but like. i work in fintech and even i know more about his job than even he seemed to LOL
i leave you with a gem from my notes:
you know, i'd love to sit here and say that for ANYONE on earth, booking a transatlantic flight impulsively just to jet over to paris from nyc for 2 days is like. super unrealistic? but then i've booked a flight on a sunday evening for the following tuesday morning from chicago to amsterdam, so. who am i to speak on such things
