Thank you NetGalley for this audio copy.
I was so pulled in with high anticipations of this book from the premise. It was a slow start to the story but picked up about 40% through. This was mysterious and fun. I love #whodidit tropes! The twists were fun and I enjoyed the mouse/cat relationship between Brynn and her soon to be mother in law Debbie. Noe, with that, it was sometimes annoying but overall fun.

Brynn is a pride to be and busy with her preperations when her future mother-in-law arrives at their doorstep. Debbie says she’s moving in to help with the wedding preparations. But somehow strange things start to happen after her appearance.
And to be honest who would not be scared if someone has been inside your room, watching you while sleeping? But why does Debbie want to ruin her wedding??
I did not see the end coming and it really rounded up the story for me!
Laurence Bouvard does a wounderful job with the narration!
Thank you #NetGalley #Bookouture Audio for this audiobook

Brynn has recently moved to Stoneview, and despite having a rather stressful career, she is beyond thrilled that she is about to marry Nathan, a successful lawyer. Her marriage to Nathan will open a lot of doors for her, including the fact that she will have more money than she ever dreamed of.
Brynn is happy with those whom she chose to stand with her at her wedding, including Hannah, who will be her maid of honor. Brynn is also over the moon that she has befriended Eleanor, an old friend of Nathan’s, and someone she feels extremely comfortable with.
There is more than one hitch in Brynn’s wedding plans. These include the arrival of Debbie, and although she and Brynn share bad blood, Debbie acts as if everything is okay, sets her bags down and progressively makes Brynn more nervous. Debbie’s arrival is only the tip of the iceberg. Brynn receives a threatening note along with a smashed wedding cake topper. Brynn realizes that she is headed towards doom, but there is no way to stop it.
Although Brynn is the primary protagonist, there is an unnamed character, referred to as “The Woman”, and it is her dialogue that takes the reader along for the rocky ride that Brynn is on, but is powerless to stop. With a few twists thrown in, this first book in the Broken Vows series by L. G. Davis was a thoroughly engaging read, and led me right to the second thrilling book, The Missing Bridesmaid.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

The premise of this book grabbed my attention and it sounded interesting but unfortunately it was a miss for me. I struggled to relate to or even like any of the main characters. I also felt the story dragged.

The Woman at My Wedding
by L.G. Davis
Narrated by Laurence Bouvard
The Woman at My Wedding by LG Davis just didn't do it for me like I had been hoping it would. This is the story of Brynn and Nathan's upcoming wedding. Nathan is pretty much absent throughout most of the book and this is mainly through Brynn's POV. Honestly, there is so much going on and so many things that are huge red flags for me from the very beginning that I just can't get behind Brynn. First off, her soon-to-be mother-in-law, who is estranged from Nathan, pops in unexpectedly and stays to "help" with the wedding. Between how she treats Brynn and the the fact that she's estranged from the couple, I don't know...why?? Then there's the mysterious character who wants to ruin the wedding because they want Nathan. They keep doing things to sabotage the wedding. Some of the things that they pulled were just ridiculous and if I were Brynn, I would have reacted quite differently. I'm in the wedding industry, and many things wouldn't happen IRL.
Overall, it keeps you guessing, but there was just too much...I just couldn't with Brynn and the other characters. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture Audio, and the author for the chance to listen to and review this ARC!

This is the first installment of the Broken Vows series. The plot is layered and original with well-developed characters. Secrets, suspects, and a constant sense of suspicion saturate this twisty plot. The narration added a layer of suspense while bringing the story to life. The beginning was slightly slow, but the plot picked up substantially at the midway point. Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for my audiobook.

I was very fortunate to have received this book on audio format through netgalley. I never heard of this author before and I'm so glad I took a chance on someone new to me. This was a fabulous story and I spent much of the book flip flopping back and forth on who I thought was the guilty person hell bent on destroying this woman's wedding and enact revenge. I was not even close to figuring this out and I loved that about it. Please read this book. I thought it was so good and I also enjoyed the narrator of the audio book very much as well. I'm looking for the follow up book next.

This review is a two-parter. I am going to say what I need to say and then come back and say what I need to say.
Part One - Narration:
I am halfway through the first chapter and know that I cannot continue to listen to this novel. Laurence Bouvard is a talented voice actor, but her voice doesn't feel right for Brynn. It sounds very "Cinderella-y." Bouvard's voice for "the woman" contains the appropriate amount of gravitas, but I cannot connect with Brynn's presentation. This in itself may be a spoiler for something that I may not understand now, but will understand in the end. Maybe I am meant to connect with "The Woman"s voice more because Brynn is actually the evil mastermind of this whole wedding scheme. If that's the case, well done Bouvard! However, that does not negate the fact that I just can't do Brynn's narration.
That being said, the content already has me hooked, so I went on Kindle Unlimited and HUZZAH! It's available.
Part Two - Content:
I will report back with information about the content. Until then, I will leave this rating at a 4 star, respectfully.

Twists upon twists upon twists and fast paced. I was losing myself with so many twists but did keep up
I didn’t expect the ending but it was surprising and shocking and made it more an enjoyable read for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookoutre

not for me, just felt really lack luster and I couldn’t properly get into the story. The authors writing was fine, just felt the story wasn’t all that great.

Loved this one! I listened to the audiobook and it had me hooked from the beginning. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, something came out of nowhere and a huge twist! I cannot wait for the next one in the series and I highly recommend this one!

Put LG Davis on your list of authors to read! Her latest has some surprising twists that I didn’t expect and loved!
Davis nailed it with this addictive psychological thriller! It’s my favorite of hers thus far! When I found out, there’s a sequel, I got excited and read it right after!
Laurence Bouchard is a great narrator!
Thank you, LG Davis, Bookouture, Bookouture audio, & netgalley for my copy & audiobook! All opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the ARC of The Woman at My Wedding. I was captivated from beginning to end and am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

Like every bride wanting the perfect wedding day, Brynn has planned the day down to the final detail. However, with a month to go, step by step each part of the plan is being sabotaged. Not helped with the Groom, Nathan away on business and his estranged mother, Debbie turns up to stay, uninvited.
Brynn seems to take the sabotage in her stride, not like many brides in the same circumstance. Then bit by bit, the truth of Nathans past is revealed, and her friendships are not what they thought. There are ulterior motives at hand and I really feel for Brynn in this story.
Plenty of secrets and twists keep those pages turning and the list of suspects are endless! An entertaining plot and an enjoyable read.

Okay, wow. What an amazing story, so fun and twisty. This was really faced paced with characters popping in at the absolute most inconvenient time for Brynn. She is looking forward to her perfect wedding, which is sabotaged at every turn. I cannot wait to read book #2 to see what happens. I highly recommend diving into this story if you like a mystery, thriller style story. Huge thanks to L.G. Davis, NetGalley, and Bookouture Audio for this advanced copy.

Thank you Net Galley for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. I was drawn to this book by the cover and the title and of course the genre of psychological thriller. I found the main female character to be a bit gullible but this book grabbed me from the beginning. It was a quick and easy read that had very unexpected twists towards the end. I was completely surprised by the conclusion and am looking forward to reading more by this author.

Wow!! I LOVED The Woman at My Wedding!!
Brynn and Nathan's love story takes a dark turn as someone tries to ruin their happily ever after with threats and sabotage. With a mysterious culprit on the loose, the suspense builds as the couple's wedding plans are thrown into chaos. There are so many unexpected twists and jaw-dropping revelations that will keep you guessing until the very end.
The Woman at My Wedding is book one in the Broken Vows series. Books 1 and 2 are available now, so check them out!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of The Woman at My Wedding by L.G.Davis.

The story opens with a 30-day countdown to the big day. The bride is Brynn, and the groom is Nathan. The future MIL, Debbie, shows up at Brynn's dress fitting. By the way, Debbie was not invited to the wedding. Her son does not want his meddling mother there. Debbie talks Brynn into letting her stay at their house, and Brynn gives in. Let the games begin... The story started strong but lost steam midway. The narration was well done.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for an audio copy in exchange for an honest review.
2.5 Stars
After a series of bad relationship and broken dreams Bryn is planning her wedding to her dream man, Nathan. While trying on her wedding dress with her two best friends (and wedding planners) she gets a shock when her mother-in-law arrives at the door ready to move in until the nuptials. When a series of weird and scary events start happening to Bryn she realizes she is in danger and her happily ever after might not be such a fairytale after all.
I was very excited to get this book as the premise sounded fun, I love a good twisty novel, and I happen to be planning my own wedding. I was so disappointed. I failed to connect to any of the characters and felt Bryn to be flat and unreliable. Her only friends and connections come from her husband which is an immediate red flag. The story is told from Bryn and the mysterious woman's POV which I did enjoy the duel story telling. The pace is slow with too much useless details and little action. There's a lot of telling about relationships or events and no actual showing. The last quarter of the book launches a semi outlandish twist, I spotted half of it about 5 minutes in. I do need to give some leeway to the author because I absolutely hated the narrator and the story might not have been so intolerable as a read instead of audio. I would try something else from the author but this series is a big no for me.
I had the audio version read by Laurence Bouvard and I am sorry to say I hated her performance. The voice was robotic and a bit too sticky sweet to tolerate. From chapter one I found it painful to listen to. I even put it down for a while and came back to it days later and still found it grating. I do not recommend this audio book at all.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This book did not download and then archived. I was very excited to receive it and read it. I will have to find another way to listen/read it now
