Denise Williams is one of the queens of romance authors in my humble opinion! Her characters and stories are always so full of depth, and focus on things outside of the romance as well. Another great book from this incredible author!

I loved the irony of this book, a divorce attorney who officiates weddings is different. I loved the banter between RJ and Lear, I'm glad both character came around in the end!

A divorce attorney who officiates weddings?! Brilliant. I loved the fun and humor in this one and the enemies to lovers vibe with palpable distain for one another. Such a fun plot and overall story!

This was a cute romance set in the world of wedding planning. The main characters were endearing but if they had just talked things would have been so much easier for them!

I don't know why it took me so long to read this book because I always enjoy Denise Williams' writing. The back and forth between RJ and Lear was so fun. I loved their witty banter and their intense chemistry. Both steamy and funny, I really enjoyed this novel.

This was not my favorite of Denise Williams' books, but it was still very, very fun. I loved their timed closet sessions!

this book has:
-dual pov
-enemies with benefits 😏
-forced proximity
-workplace
-shut up and kiss me
-care taking
-funny banter

divorce attorney, RJ, would never describe herself as romantic. suddenly she ends up officiating weddings and is forced to work with wedding planner, lear, who isn’t looking for love either after he’s previously betrayed. but their physical attraction pulls them together despite their attempt to stay away.

this one was a roller coaster of emotions. both mc, rj and lear, were hot/cold with each other sometimes and I would get frustrated with them both!! but I also understood why they were so closed off with anyone. I honestly thought they were perfect for each other because they balanced each other. even when the emotional connection was missing at times because they were so closed off with each other and only had interest in the physical attraction, I loved how they slowly opened up to each other and their relationship started to blossom into something. the book dedicated was so perfect!

plus we got some britta and wes appearances 🥺

Do You Take This Man by Denise Williams is a delightful rom-com that will captivate readers who adore lighthearted, humorous, and hopeful stories about workplace romance, enemies-to-lovers, and weddings, making it a perfect fit for fans of feel-good, romantic tales that will leave them smiling and rooting for the characters.

I loved Denise Williams' first two books - they were fun, dealt with serious topics deftly and they were very hard to put down. I was stoked when I read the premise of this one - a divorce attorney who officiates weddings on the side? Love it! Unfortunately, right off the bat I didn't vibe with this one. This book lacked the depth of character her previous two books had. I found both leading characters to be one dimensional and flat - and the side characters were even worse. Lear, I really could not stand. He started out as an ass and never really redeemed himself to me. Also, there was just a bit too much miscommunication in this book - for two professionals (and one being a lawyer), I expected them to be able to communicate way better.

I unfortunately did not finish this one - I could not get into it at all despite loving the author's previous titles. Rating 4 stars since I didn't finish, therefore no real critiques to standby.

Denise Williams never misses! Her characters always bring such depth to romance novels, and the story grows beyond the romance (while keeping the HEA the focus, of course).

Leave it to Denise Williams to craft emotionally intelligent, spicy, diverse characters. I don't usually love the "my past baggage is keeping me from loving you" trope but I'm a sucker for an independent woman who refuses to put her heart before her head (until the right guy comes along, of course).

I have read several of Denise Williams books. This one was just an alright one for me. I thought the characters were interesting and enjoyed the romance but felt it was also a little too textbook romance formula for my taste.

This is a great hard-earned love story. I really loved all the backstories and how it just goes to show that anyone can love again.

An enemies to lovers between an officiant and the wedding planner is a fun premise. They def have fun banter and took awhile to warm up to each other. But are a good team since they have to work on multiple weddings together. This is in dual pov which I love in romance it helps to understand their feelings and fears better.

I really enjoy the way Denise Williams weaves a rom com. There’s something refreshing about her characters and storytelling. It was kind of quirky and fun that one of the main characters is a divorce lawyer and a wedding officiant on the side. The other main character works at his cousin’s wedding planning business.

Overall, there was lots of spice in this one; a little more than I typically read, but if Denise Williams writes it, sign me up. Highly recommend this author and hope she has more stories on the way.

I received a gifted copy.

I think this is just a case of this author isn't for me. If you like romance and this sounds good, I'd give it a try. For some reason it just wasn't clicking for me.

This book gave me every bit of banter that I wanted and then some. I loved watching Lear and RJ evolve and how their relationship evolved with them. I loved that the characters flaws played a major role in this book. I felt like I really did get to know these two MCs and I was rooting for them the whole way. would recommend to my rom-com/enemies to lovers loving friends

3.5 stars.

I just want to start out by saying I absolutely love Denise Williams. If she writes it, I will read it.

Do You Take This Man is about a divorce attorney who (accidentally) starts officiating weddings and a wedding planner who hate each other. Being forced to work together seems like a walking nightmare... but can it turn into a dream come true?

I felt like this was a great example of enemies to lovers. There was truly a lot they did not see eye to eye about. There were a lot of challenges to over come. There were also many, many sweet moments and cute quotes. But I will say I had a hard time believing the characters compatibility. At times I thought it was great and at times I thought it was really lacking.

Overall I thought this book was sweet and I would recommend but my favorite Denise book is still How to Fail at Flirting!

I was really excited to read this book because I love Denise Williams, but this one was more boring than anything. RJ meets Lear because they're both working weddings, her as an officiant and him as a planner. They don't get off on the right foot, so RJ decides she hates him. But she finds she's super attractive to him, so they start a friends with benefits deal. I don't know what is up with traditionally published romances lately, but the story was just bland and I had a hard time really caring about the story. I didn't really feel too much of a connection beyond a physical one between these two characters.
