I love fake dating, and I thought Mia Sosa did a great job of portraying this trope. I enjoyed this book as much as I did her first one. I thought it was sweet and the perfect amount of emotional. I like when my romances pull on my heartstrings, and I felt like this one did. The representation was great as well!

This is my first book by Mia Sosa and I hope it won’t be the last. It had everything I like in romance. Great character development, interesting family dynamics, LOL moments and plenty of sexy times.

While helping her cousin in a wedding planning job, consummate romantic Solange Pereira ends up wedding crashing after she finds out the couple shouldn’t be heading towards the altar.

In a panic because the groom no longer has a significant other to help him get the promotion he desperately wanted, Dean declares he’s in love with Solange who regrets wrecking his wedding and agrees to the sham.

As they go on an adventurous (from axe throwing to Magic Mike performances) fake dating spree, their unexpected relationship blooms into so much more that what they bargained for.

Solange and Dean are wonderful characters with polar opposite personalities. She’s fire, he’s ice and together they have explosive chemistry.

I only read the first four chapters of this book before deciding to dnf it. I usually like the fake relationship trope, but I didn't like the setup of this story. The interactions between all the characters were really weird and unrealistic and cheesy. If it starts out that bad I'm going to assume it's only downhill from there. I still want to read The Worst Best Man though.

This was my first Mia Sosa, and now I will be reading her other books. It was delightful. The main characters were cute and relatable. I loved their chemistry. However, this was a case of wanting to reach into the book and shake the characters because it's so obvious how they're feeling and are not accepting it. The sexy parts were very well-done. I only wish the supporting characters jumped out a bit more. I liked Brandon a lot, but I felt most of the other characters could be more dimensional. Lovely book, though, and a quick read. I will be hand selling it.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this ARC of Mia Sosa’s new book. What an excitement to receive ‘The Wedding Crasher’. I had read ‘The Worst Best Man’ last year (one of my favorites) and I was in need of more from these amazing characters.

You get another glimpse at the girl's amazing Brazilian family. Lina from the first book is Solange’s cousin. You start off with Solange helping Lina at ‘a wedding’ where the crashing begins.

This story hits you straight from the first chapter. It will have you intrigued with these new characters from the very beginning. Get ready for mouth drops, laughter, and a lot of blushing/lip biting. Spicy! Spicy! Yea, get ready for steamy goodness!!

Heartwarming family dynamic, great chemistry, fun loving side-characters, swoon worthy moment and... karaoke featuring Ginuwine’s ‘Pony’! You can’t go wrong with this one.

I went into this book with high hopes, and I’m so pleased to report it did not disappoint! I’m a simple gal who likes simple pleasures - namely the one bed trope and fake dating - so this was right up my alley. After the introduction to Dean and Solange in the first book, I was super curious as to how this would all play out, and I found it to be a delightful read with the perfect amount of steam.

We loooove a fake dating scheme where one party has no interest in marriage, and it’s always so sweet by the end. The banter between Dean and Solange kept my attention for the entire read and I really didn’t want it to end when I found the number of pages left rapidly decreasing.

I’m a huge fan of Mia Sosa - a new go-to author of mine for sure. Thank you to Net Galley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a really cute book and one of the best portrayals of fake dating I have seen where the couple is actually fake dating. I loved how it started with solange interrupting Dean’s wedding. There were so many funny and unexpected parts of this book. I thought it was very unique and a very fun read. I also really loved Dean and thought he was so sweet. It was also nice to catch up on all of the side characters we met in the first book.

I truly do not have words for how much I loved this book. This was my first Mia Sosa book and I can't wait to go back and read more. This book manages to be sexy, sweet, and so insanely funny all at once.

Solange (my idol) Pereira is such an amazing leading lady. I love that she is not afraid to speak her mind, is so funny, cares deeply for her family, and knows what she deserves. Dean is also perfect book boyfriend material he just needed a push in the right direction after almost marrying the wrong girl. Luckily Solange stops his wedding and that's where this adorable fake dating story featuring sex parties, karaoke, and axe throwing begins.

I also loved the supporting cast including Lina and Max (can't wait to go back and read their book), Brandon, and her whole family. I can't wait to read more from Sosa who I see becoming a auto-buy author for me.

I also love the representation in this book which I hope we continue to see more of in romance books. I waiting this long to mention it in the review cause I hate that I still have to mention diversity as it should be so much more common by now. But I loved seeing Lina with her family and the mix of adding in Spanish into the book.

Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for the ARC for my honest review.

I feel like I've been waiting forever to read this book, from the first moment I read Dean and Solange in The Worst Best Man I knew I would love their book. And I absolutely did! This was well worth the wait!

There are so many things to love about this book. It has all the tropes, and it even manages to double down on fake dating! It's two fake dating plans for the price of one book, and it's all absolutely delightful. I was really wondering how it was going to work with Solange being the one to break up the wedding, but I should have never doubted Mia Sosa! And the way it all was tied up with the grand gesture at the end?? *Chefs kiss!*

Everything in between was wonderful as well, and I'll be honest, quite bananas at times! I laughed out loud and was completely blindsided by some of the antics that take place! There's karaoke, a party that had me thinking oh she went there followed by a baby (!), only one bed, "let's do it once to get it out of our systems", big family dynamics, low angst and high spice! I loved the bromance that's still there between Max and Dean, and all of the Tia's and the cousins were a highlight! There were a few parts of the main conflict that didn't work for me, and I wish there had been a little more clear communication between Dean and Solange, and I hate to compare but it didn't quite live up to the magic that is TWBM, but it all worked out in the end!

This book was amazing, not only does it have everything that I love in a rom-com like, fun family members, a ton of humor and steam, it was so uplifting and motivational. We meet Dean and Solange, they do the whole fake relationship thing to help boost Deans image at his job, all and all, this whole set up was something that kept me turning those pages, I just couldn't put this book down.

💒Review - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5💒

This might be my favorite book of 2022, so far. I loved everything about this story. It was sweet, funny, anxiety inducing (at times), and I could not put it down.

Solange Pereira helps at a wedding her cousin is planning. What Solange does not plan on, is running into the bride declaring her love for someone else just minutes before she’s supposed to walk down the aisle. Solange now must decide if she’s going to keep it to herself or object to a wedding where she knows no one.

After speaking up, Solange tries to apologize to Dean Chapman, the groom. What Solange doesn’t understand, is why he doesn’t seem to be upset about it. They end up becoming friends and Dean approaches Solange to help him with something at work. To help Dean become a partner at his law firm, Solange agrees to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Getting to know each other while fake dating, Solange finds out that Dean isn’t interested in marrying for love. He has a timeline and plan set up and it doesn’t involve love. On the other hand, Solange doesn’t want to marry out of convenience, she wants love and all the warm and fuzzy feelings that come along with it. With their different views of love and relationships, can the two keep up the fake dating act? Or does it turn into something neither one of them were expecting?

This book combined so many of my favorite tropes and I loved every minute of it. Fake dating, friends to lovers, and one bed trope just to name a few. And if you want some SPICY scenes, this book has that too. Solange and Dean’s interactions were sarcastic, funny, sweet, and I just loved these two. Seeing their character development throughout the story was a big highlight as well.

I could go on and on about this book, but if you’re looking for a romantic comedy with some steam, this is the one to read.

The Wedding Crasher is being released TOMORROW, April 5, 2022.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books, and Harper Voyager US for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Well this was a DELIGHT!

I really enjoyed The Worst Best Man, so I was SO excited to receive an e-ARC of The Wedding Crasher and it did not disappoint! If you like:

* Fake-Dating, Opposites Attract romances
* Forced Proximity / One-Bed
* great chemistry and steam

Then this is the book for you!! The relationship between Dean and Solange was just wonderful and while frustrating at times, the payoff (and the situation of said payoff) at the end was great! It was fun to be back with Solange's big extended family (the TIA'S! and seeing Max and Lina from The Worst Best Man!) and how she helped get Dean out of his shell. Also, there is one scene at a house party that was straight FIRE (IYKYK)!

Overall, I just really enjoyed this!

Perfection. Seriously, this book is amazing. I wish I could start it over and read it for the first time. I absolutely love the characters Mia Sosa has created with this series. Lina in the Worst Best Man was the first time I saw a romance character with my personality traits and now Sosa has gone and introduced me to Solange and she also has similar personality traits to me and I just want to soar. Solange and Dean are just perfect, and Sosa has added so much tension and steam and amazingness into this story. There's moments where your jaw is just hanging open and there's moments where you want to cry and moments where you can't help to laugh hysterically. Sosa really has another winner here and it's definitely going on my list of favorites for this year (and probably forever).

I LOVED this book! It had everything I love in a book: fake dating, opposites attract, dual pov, strong family bonds, a witty main character, forced proximity, tension, some 🌶🌶🌶, and pop culture references. It was also hilarious, and I laughed a ton. This book was fun, and I’m here for it. The Wedding Crasher is one of my favorite books of 2022 so far.

I really loved this follow up to The Worst Best Man. I'm such a fan of series like this that follow groups of family members or friends, and it was good to see Solange again. At the start of the novel, Solange interrupts Dean's wedding because Ella, his soon to be wife, is in love with someone else. Soon after, They both end up needing someone to be in a fake relationship with, so they strike a deal to be friends and fake romantic partners. If you've read any romance novels, you'll know what to expect from a fake dating trope, but what makes this one special is that the characters are really engaging and interesting, and are working through some things on their own and together. I can't wait for the next in the series - I'm hoping for Jaslene!

The Wedding Crasher is a stand-alone novel that takes place after The Worst Best Man and is sure to leave you laughing.

Solange and Dean meet when she stops his marriage of convenience because the bride is in love with someone else. Solang tells Dean that if he needs her help with anything to please let her know, but she didn't intend for him to take her up on the offer by agreeing to fake-date to help him gain a promotion at his law firm. As sparks flare and fake dating lines blur, they have to figure out if they want the same things in a life partner.

I don't even know where to start with how much I enjoyed this book. It made me laugh and smile as I sped through it. I enjoyed watching Solange and Dean work through their emotional damage and hesitations at falling in love. This was a great fake dating tale that included accidentally visiting a sex party.

Trust me when I say you don't want to miss this one!

Thanks to Avon Books and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa

This is the follow up book to Sosa's hilarious 'The Worst Best Man'. That book was a true joy to read so I was so glad when this one lived up to the expectations and was also just as wonderful, funny and steamy! While it is a follow up where we visit a familiar cast of characters, this book stands alone and doesn't need to be read as part of a series.

Solange Pereira is supposed to be in the shadows, helping assist her wedding planner cousin on a big event when her voice gets the better of her and she ends up stopping the ceremony as an impromptu wedding crasher. What started as a disastrous meet-cute leads to two strangers, Solange and Dean Chapman (former groom), getting trapped in a lie they have to fake their way out of. But, what starts out as a sham quickly develops into so much more as their true feelings start to coincide with their ruse.

These characters are so wonderful--full of humor, grit and love, Sosa writes a laugh out loud rom-com that has as much emphasis on a romance as it does on a tight-knit family of immigrant women full equal parts love and spunk!

Coming out April 5th; make sure you get your hands on this one for the perfect wedding season rom-com.

Many thanks to Mia Sosa, Avon, and NetGalley for the advanced reading copy.

Is there anything better than being surprised by a book? No, I don’t think so either 😉 This was my first book by Mia Sosa, but let me tell you.. it definitely won’t be my last. I was completely blown away!

The Wedding Crasher is a dual POV opposites attract, fake dating romance with a splash of forced proximity and “it’s just a hookup” mixed in. It’s trope-y and cheesy at times like a rom com can be, but it is SO WELL DONE.

Solange is my spirit animal. She is a badass female, fierce and loyal with a witty, smart mouth whereas Dean is uptight, structured and straightforward. They complimented each other so well and it showed.

That brings me to the STEAM! Don’t let that bubble gum pink cover fool you, because I sure was 😋. The build up and pacing was perfect. The book was practically dripping in sexual tension waiting to be wrung out. Then, the HOUSE PARTY! (IYKYK) Ohh, man, I wasn’t prepared.. then I didn’t want it to stop 😊😊

There was just so much to love from the palpable chemistry to the wonderfully loud and meddling family to the secondary characters. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to @avonbooks and @harpervoyagerus for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

What happens when you are assisting your cousin’s wedding planner business and you witness something terrible the day of the wedding? Do you say something to stop the wedding in the name of true love or you mind your business and pretend you never saw a thing?
This was a difficult decision for Solange Pereira.

Unfortunately, Dean Chapman has a life plan set up. That includes marrying someone for the sake of securing a stable future and being a power couple. He was not counting on stumbling on one of his “steps” to have the perfect life. The opportunity on being a partner in the law firm he works for is threatened by the fact that he no longer has a partner. So, what else can he do that announce to everyone that the girl that crashed his wedding is new flame?

What a mess right? Now Dean must convince Solanges to play along. Thankfully Solanges is still feeling bad about the whole wedding situation and decides to join the scheme and help Dean land his “dream” job. As they spend time together, their friendship grows and it couldn’t be any clearer that they are complete opposites. There’s absolutely no way that what started as fake-dating could end up as something more, right? Right?

I love starting my reviews with “WHEN I TELL YOU…”, so this one will not be the exception.
When I tell you that I laughed my butt off and read this entire book with heart emojis for eyes, I’m not lying. This book transported me to D.C. I felt like I was beside them, watching everything develop. I, of course, was rooting for them from the very beginning, because that is just what you do. The chemistry between them is palpable and you just want them to get it on!! I did not feel the need to take out my chancla this time around. Solanche is hilarious and definitely in a different mindset from Lina. I loved her even more. Again, I’m in love with the family dynamic. These tias are the best. They’re so nosy, they remind me of my own tias. Solange’s relationship with her mom is heartwarming. Dean’s approach is also incredible. How he wants to be part of a family like hers but refuses to leave his mom hanging when she needed him the most. Agh this book is just perfection. Mia, I love you forever. Bringing this masterpiece to life. WOW (standing ovation for you ma’am)

Get this book on April 5, 2022.
Go ahead and pre-order it.
Thank you Netgalley, Avon, and Harper Voyager for both the galley and the physical copies.

Mia's Romance novels are always multifaceted and never predictable in my opinion. The Wedding Crasher was a fun read that gave us an adventure premise of crashing a wedding filled with unexpected twists and turns with our love interests Dean and Solange. The chemistry as always in Mia's books are so palpable and always family plays a big role. Let's not forget the family drama. Can we get a high cheer for the Matriarchs! I absolutely loved loved the family dynamics that were bouncing off the pages as Dean and Solange's story took flight. It was a fun read but also brought hilarity, great banter, heartwarming moments, fire chemistry and of course a happily ever after you can get behind!
