After reading about Maggie and Brody in The Reason I Married Him, I knew I was going to love their story. The little snippet we got of Brody’s cinnamon roll personality was what pulled me in.

Every time I read a new Meghan Quinn book, it automatically becomes one of my favorites. This is no different and might be one of my top 5 favorite books of all time. After everything Brody goes through in this book, I can’t help but love him even more. Maggie is so funny and their banter was so much fun to read.

Enemies to lovers, second chance romance, fake dating, and one bed, what more can you ask for? You’re going to get all of that! The hilarious dialogue that Meghan always gives, but she’s also going to pull on your heartstrings a bit. Don’t forget the spice too 🥵

4.5 stars!

The queen of rom-coms does it again. I swear, every time I read a Meghan Quinn book, I know I'm gonna have a good time. The entire time I was reading this book I could picture it as a movie in my mind. It was humorous, entertaining, romantic, and spicy. I loved the island setting, the forced proximity, and the dislike to lovers vibes. Maggie and Brody's dynamic was fun & exciting, and I was actively rooting for their love. The side characters were (mostly) all a joy and I expect to see some of them in future books!!

Overall, this was a great, quintessential Meghan Quinn rom-com. The only reason I took off .5 stars is because I felt it was a tad long, and I would have liked to see more in the epilogue.

I can always rely on Meghan Quinn to deliver the funniest scenarios in her books. With how sassy and confident Maggie is and how goofy and tense (yet possessive) Brody is, they were the perfect combination. Their bickering was my favorite thing about this book; it was so cute and entertaining. Although Brody has some of the worst luck ever on their trip, I thought it was very endearing to see how he handled everything. He was such a loveable character and I really loved how he wasn't afraid to show his feelings for Maggie once he realized how he felt for her. Maggie and Brody's relationship was developed very well, especially as we get to learn about how they felt years ago and during their trip. Even though I had so much secondhand embarrassment from Brody (as I usually do reading her books, in a good way!), he was such a swoony character. I especially loved how he handled the conflict. He's so committed to giving the best to Maggie and it made him one of my favorite mmcs. Also, even though he's such a cinnamon roll character, the spice definitely delivered and it only added to why they were so perfect for each other. Most of the side characters were also very likeable, like Hardy, Hudson, and Jude, and I would be interested to see their stories come to life in the future. Even the bromance between Brody and Gary was amazing. Brody is so silly and I love that he's not afraid to show it. The balance and relationships between all the characters are amazing.

The only thing I was unsure about was the cameos/mentions of the other characters in Meghan Quinn's books. As much as I adore them, I'm wondering if it's too much for someone who doesn't normally read her books. But overall, I had such a fun time with this book and it was such a humorous, steamy, and heartfelt story!

5 star Review of Bridesmaid For Hire (Bridesmaid For #1) by Meghan Quinn

eBook/Audio Review:

Bridesmaid For Hire was an entertaining story. I enjoyed it but I had a hard time connecting to our couple, event planner Maggie Mitchell and Brody McFadden initially but they grew on me.

The last thing either expected was to meet in Bora Bora. Neither can stand the other, although that did not stop them from hooking up at Maggie’s brother (Brody’s best friend) wedding.

There were quite a few emotions within this story, love, resentment, and uncertainty, betrayal and it was almost overwhelming. However, as I have come to expect, there was also humour. Some of Maggie and Brody’s scenes had me laughing out loud at times and I felt for Brody as he constantly got himself into embarrassing situations.

As Maggie and Brody moved from enemies to lovers, their story became intriguing and I quickly became invested in the story that Ms. Quinn wove.

Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke performances brought this story to life. They brought all the angst, passion, romance and humour to their performances and their voices are easy to listen too.

I received a copy from the publisher through Net Galley.

The queen of witty banter strikes again. Every time I have the honor of reading a Meghan Quinn book, I know I’m going to have a great read. I laughed almost the entire book.

Poor Brody was put through the proverbial wringer. And it was totally hilarious.

Maggie was amazing. I loved her in a previous book. I loved everything about her.

5 sexy stars! Like I said, this book is filled with witty banter. The “family games” will have you rolling and the snake scene I literally couldn’t stop laughing. I love a book that totally puts a smile on my face. This one did just that! Must read for sure!!!

EVERY NEW MEGHAN QUINN BOOK I'VE READ HAS STARTED OFF IN FIVE STAR TERRITORY. UP UNTIL ABOUT THE 60% MARK, IT WAS FIGHTING WITH MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. IT WAS HILARIOUS WITH GREAT BANTER & SWEET SPICY SCENES. UNFORTUNATELY, HER ENDINGS HAVE BEEN WAY TOO DRAWN OUT RECENTLY. THE LAST THREE BOOKS I'VE READ BY MEGHAN IMO HAVE DRAGGED THE LAST
25-30%. ALTHOUGH I STILL ENJOYED THE STORY IN IT'S ENTIRETY, IT COULD'VE WRAPPED UP A BIT QUICKER. I LOVED THE WILD CAST OF CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY & THE QUICK WITTED WRITING STYLE. THIS IS A FAKE DATING BROTHER'S BFF STORY THAT TAKES PLACE IN BORA BORA. IT SCREAMS SUMMER ROMANCE READ. IT HAS A SEVEN YEAR AGE GAP (23/30) & IS BOTH AN ENEMIES TO LOVERS & A SECOND CHANCE. IT'S TOLD IN DUAL POV & STARTS WITH A BANG. I WAS BOTH CAPTIVATED & ENTERTAINED WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE PAGES.

"My best friend’s little sister, posing as my girlfriend, is going to be in my boss’s daughter’s wedding."

I think grumpy hero turning cinnamon roll is my new favorite thing. Brody is going to rule over my heart for a long time. I fell head over heels in love with this swoony, witty, charming, drool worthy man who is completely obsessed with his woman. And he isn't afraid to show that once he accepted his feels. Maggie is so sassy and hilarious and bossy yet so adorable. They went from enemies to fake couple to lovers, all while on a wedding vacation in Bora Bora. It was 200% entertaining. And slow burn sexy. And heartwarming. Meghan Quinn delivers feel good vibes in spades.

The wedding was a hilarious disaster. With disappearing bridesmaids. With Brody's boss aka Maggie's chance to expand her wedding business aka the bride's eccentric billionaire father's ridiculous plans. It was pure coincidence that Brody & Maggie both ended up there but they reluctantly joined forces to impress the bride's father.

Brody was so nervous and tensed that he ended up making a fool of himself in every event. It was so adorable. But he can be all jealous possessive growling alpha too and the contrast is just too hard to resist.

Maggie is actually the more easy going and people pleasing one. The forced proximity made things come undone. Like Brody and Maggie's secret crush for each other that Brody resisted for sake of his best friend but Maggie took it as a sign of him finding her unlovable.

They clashed and bicker a lot at the beginning..constantly hurling innovative insults and making fun of each other and it was making me laugh so hard. But the passion took over and constantly working together helped their true feels to come out. There were lots of puzzle pieces and things ended up being messy and heartaching for some time but our hero ended up being the white knight.

Maggie and Brody made me laugh, made me swoon and filled my heart with all warm gooey fills. Meghan Quinn is an expert at delivering a rom com that just brightens up your day. Bridesmaid for Hire was no exception.

PS LOVED MEETING THE ALMOND BAY GANG HERE AND I NEED RYLAND'S STORY

I reviewed an early copy voluntarily

4.5 stars

This cast of characters is impossible, not to love. We have Maggie, our resident wedding planner, who has taken a much needed vacation to exotic Bora Bora looking to relax and have a Fling. Wgat she is not expecting is to run into Brody, her brothers best friend and the man who broke her fragile heart.

Brody is suckered into a trip to Bora Bora to attend the wedding of his bosses daughter by filling in for a coworker. While there, he plans to win over the man to sell him his work proposal. What he doesn't see coming is Maggie, who hilariously gets them involved in a fake relationship. And involved in the wedding itself.

The antics, the inner dialog, and the love/hate that these two share is cringe worthy. I was cracking up and the situations these two find themselves in over and over again. From a failed spear fishing expedition to a snake bite and a speedo, I had a smile on my face the entire book. Every book just gets better and better.

Even though I haven’t read much by Meghan Quinn, I did know about her as she’s an Amazon darling. Her books are always on the Kindle charts and she’s incredibly popular so I feel like I had a right to be nervous.

Even so, Bridesmaid for Hire is such a fun and fast-paced read. The story follows Maggie who is on vacation and things are going great until she ends up in a scheme with her brother’s best friend, Brody. The two decide to fake-date as a way to advance their careers by befriending the Hoppers. While Maggie instantly charms everyone, Brody has a much tougher time.

Considering that it’s set on vacation, I feel like Bridesmaid for Hire is the ultimate book to bring on vacation. You have some funny moments, some sexy moments, and even, some utterly romantic moments that’ll have you swooning. While things did feel a little bit stale around the midway point, the book did pick up steam towards the end.

While the book might seem daunting, Meghan Quinn’s writing is easy to get into so you’ll be halfway through before you know it. Plus the cover is adorable and great for those traveling to a wedding. However, let’s just hope that your date doesn’t succumb to the same fates that Brody did the entire book.

All in all, Bridesmaid for Hire is a fun book with an adorable romance and plenty of spice. If you have room in your beach bag, then I say snag a copy and bask in the sun while you gobble up this romance. Plus there’s also a callback to one of Meghan Quinn’s other series so if you’re a fan, you’ll get a kick out of that.
