This was a great follow-up to The Wedding Date and The Proposal. I love the author's writing style, the humorous dialogue, and the diverse and relatable set of characters. This enemies-to-lovers tale should be at the top of your summer reading list.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy in exchange for my review.

The Wedding Party remains my favorite novel in this trilogy, so it was lovely to see the couple from that book get married in this one. The characters in this book didn’t grab me and the love-hate dynamic between them didn’t work for me. But it’s a nice continuation of the universe of the other novels.

This was a fun enemies to romance story, set in the same universe as The Wedding Date and The Proposal. Like the other two, this books is full of fun characters and snappy quips. However, I don't think it was quite as good as Guillory's other books. The characters didn't feel as real to me, and they felt like they were playing second fiddle to Alexa and Drew from the Wedding Date. Still, it's definitely worth reading if you want to feel a little warmer and happier!

I really enjoy Jasime Guillory books. I think that she has cute ideas, and I met her at ALA and she was extremely pleasant. I enjoyed this book, but the Proposal is much better!

Jasmine Guillory does it again with this one. A fun, sexy little number that is hard to put down.
A great romance story with all the key elements of a classic romance, AND characters of color!
Jasmine writes great characters you feel connected with from page one.
This one pairs perfectly with the sun and a mojito.

Fun & Light romance in continuation of Guillory's series. Would love to see this tied in to the wedding date TV series or Movie that's in development.

This is absolutely a fun, enjoyable, humorous read with appealing characters, although it took me longer to warm up to Maddie and Theo and their growing relationship compared to the characters in Jasmine Guillory's two previous novels. But I will always be looking forward to this author's work, as her insights into people and how they relate to each other are spot-on.

A fun, sexy enemies-to-lovers romcom built on a premise that is juuuuuuuust this side of flimsy but totally works because the characters are so good.

Ummm...I don't even know where to begin. I thought this author had a popular book or two. I took a chance because the story sounded adorable.

But I have no idea. I didn't enjoy the writing style. I hate third person in contemporary. It just doesn't work. For romance to work, I usually prefer first person style. It's easier to feel their emotions. This just felt like I was being told things, so I had no connection to them. And, it also made it impossible to feel any speak between them.

I kept trying though, because I figured the story would have to get better. But after 30% and no change in my feelings, I gave up.

Maddie and Theo weren't as appealing as the other characters in Guillory's books. (Plus, they eat WAY too much pizza. Seriously, how are they not tired of pizza?) The beginning of their story felt a little rushed and contrived, though I started to warm up to them after a certain event triggered more of a development in their relationship, and the ending was pretty fun.

Jasmine Guillory always makes me smile! Her romance stories bring joy, romance and fun to the table.

Doesn't quite reach the fun, fizziness of the other two books in this group (The Wedding Date & The Proposal), but still really enjoyable. The obstacles thrown up between the two protagonists can come off a bit too contrived (violence at a pre-K program protest) or repetitive (jumping through mental hoops to willfully misunderstand each other), but the characters are still heartfelt and recognizable. Guillory also does a great job of giving the returning characters from the previous books cameo here without stealing too much of the spotlight or feeling gimmicky.

There are many things to love about Jasmine Guillory's books, but my favorite thing to love is the way characters from her other books keep showing up in the one I'm currently reading. I'm not saying this quality is uniquely hers, but it just makes me feel like I'm having a visit with some old friends even though the books are meant to be standalones and not a series. Another thing her books have in common is unlikely people fall in love whether they want to or not and they have lots of fun and food while they're doing it. If you're like me and live a large part of your reading life on the dark side with psychopaths and other bad actors, then a good romantic comedy is refreshing. It cleanses my mental palate so I can dive back into Whacky World once more. So why don't I go on a steady diet of feel-good books? For one thing, too much of a good thing is . . . well, not good. And I think the author recognizes this because the road to happiness never rides completely smoothly and she always includes some bumps and some angst to make it real.I loved Maddie and Theo because it's Mr. Nerdy OCD meets Miss Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and suddenly he's not so nerdy anymore and she is fighting with every quirk she has not to fall for a guy who is obviously so wrong for her. There is no doubt Jasmine Guillory has found her niche and has not only settled into it, but she is also thriving in it. If you are looking for a book to make you want to lounge on the couch all day and read, maybe with a few snacks here and there, this book will do it for you. I've already seen a posting for the next book coming out this fall featuring Maddie's mother who is quite a colorful character in her own right. Needless to say, I've got out my footie pajamas and my popcorn and I'm ready to read!

OH MY GOODNESS, my cheeks are sore from smiling from ear to ear while reading THE WEDDING PARTY! I absolutely loved this book! It was sheer joy to turn the pages as I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation. I don’t think I can swoon, gush or squeal anymore than I have with this book. I had several glasses of rosé while reading this book & kicked my feet with excitement throughout. This story of love & friendship just made me giddy. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the story unfolded with lighthearted pleasure, sexual tension, love and secrecy. ⁣

It all began with Alexa and Drew (The Wedding Date), then Carlos and Nik (The Proposal) and now Maddie and Theo in The Wedding Party. Let me just say I freaking love Maddie and Theo. I was rooting for them the entire time. The evolution of their relationship was authentic and relatable. While you don’t necessarily have to read the books (The Wedding Date, The Proposal, The Wedding Party) in order of publication, I enjoyed reading them in order because it provided me a better frame of reference of how the characters were all connected.⁣

Jasmine, you outdid yourself with this one! The Wedding Party hits shelves on July 16, 2019. Mark your calendars book friends, you are are in for a treat! ⁣

I hadn't read any of Jasmine Guillory's books before this one, but this certainly won't be my last.

Maddie and Theo dislike each other, significantly, and have known this fact since the moment they were introduced by their mutual friend Alexia years ago. Now Alexis is getting married and the two of them are both in the wedding party, and more than that they ended up having a drunken night together that was quite good.
Now the two of them have to figure out what they are, while still trying to not get too involved and making a very strong promise that this will be over by the day Alexis gets married, but do things every go that easily?

This was a perfect book to pick up on a Friday; light, fun, happy, and a little bit sexy. This will be a perfect beach read for the summer and one that has made me want to go back and read the rest of the books.

Here comes the bride.... And a whole lot of drama and unwanted feelings.

Maddie and Theo have two things in common: Alexa is their BFF... and they hate each other with a passion. Then they fell into bed together. Once was a fluke. Twice was a mistake. Is the third time the charm? Well... Yes and no.

When Maddie and Theo are asked to be part of Alexa's wedding party, they make a set of rules. The most important of which being that they would stop sleeping together after the wedding. But when the wedding date is moved up, and they find themselves together when there's no wedding prep to be done, will they finally admit to each other--and themselves--that they have developed feelings?

A fantastic third novel from Jasmine Guillory, focusing on the best friends of Alexa (heroine of book one, "The Wedding Date") and how first impressions aren't always the best impressions, that opinions can change, and that sometimes you need to get out of your own head to discover what is in your heart.

In addition to this fantastic enemies-to-friends-with-benefits-to-lovers transition between Maddie and Theo, fans of Ms. Guillory's previous titles will love to see Alexa and Drew tie the knot and the return of Carlos and Nik. Happily ever afters all around! Also, now having had Maddie's POV, I'm even more excited for the next book, "Royal Holiday", which will focus on Maddie's wonderful mom, Vivian.

I really like Jasmine's work. The Wedding Party is no exception. I love how she gives her characters unique professions. These woman feel real. They are dealing with real insecurities and real family dynamics. It's not all fluff. I love all the sexytime. It was hella sexy. I appreciate a good dirty text message scene. While this book is the third, I think it could be read as a stand alone. The two previous books just show the romance of two couples that show up in this novel. But I have been told I am too lenient in regard to reading books out of order.

Jasmine Guillory is the queen of modern romance! Much like her previous titles, this one is an unexpected take on love and a fun read!

Jasmine Guillory just keeps getting better. The Wedding Party takes place partially concurrently to the events of The Wedding Date and the Proposal. Alexa's best friends Theo and Maddie can barely tolerate each other until one day, they can't get enough of each other. This book was sexy and sweet and full of all the lovely things about Guillory's writing. The conflicts are understandable and these are realistic, well-rounded characters with jobs and lives and families and it's absolute perfection.

Maddie and Theo were some of my favorite characters ever! This was such a cute real relationship, including friendships, ups and downs. Alexa was such the glue for these two. I laughed, I yelled, I thought "are you kidding me?" But it was such a sweet story about love, real romance, friendship and growth. Jasmine Guillory does not dissapoint! I enjoy these characters in her books so much, I end up feeling like they are actually MY friends, lol. Such great writing.
