Great spice! A fun story with a wedding and a celebrity lifestyle. I enjoyed the banter between the characters. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Melissa Dymond’s latest book, Holiday Wedding, was such a great holiday read! I gave it five stars! This is a must read!

Thank you so much @melissadymondauthor and @netgalley for this early read of Holiday Wedding. I loved LOVED this story! We are entering back into the world of Gwen and Caleb. You remember them… the super hot loving couple from Holiday Star? Wedding bells are in the air, but will they make it down the aisle? There’s a stalker on the loose following every move Caleb makes. No one can figure out who this person is posting such close and intimate photos, and leaving unflattering gifts for Caleb. Will this bring Gwen and Caleb closer together, or will fame rip them apart? If Dean, oh Dean… Mr. Hunky bodyguard… has anything to say, the wedding will happen. He’s determined to find out who the stalker is. He may even have a side kick named Jenny to help him. Of course they have to keep the peace between themselves first. Or perhaps there might be a little heat between them as well… but I’ll let you read about that… hint hint… winter storm… slow burn… one bed. Thank you Dr. Dymond! This read has it all… a love story… slow burn… finding your strength… and even a bit of mystery! And a possible note about a book 3?!?!

Oh my goodness, this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! It was filled with nail-biting suspense and a newly developing love story between Gwen's best friend, Jenny, and Dean Caleb's hot bodyguard. I couldn't get enough of it!

♥︎ Caleb and Gwen had been eagerly preparing for their dream wedding, but just when everything seemed perfect, chaos erupted. Tensions were high, and it seemed like their happily ever after was slipping away. To add to the turmoil, a stalker lurked in the shadows, intent on ruining their special day. As the plot unfolded, we also delved into Jenny's personal journey, a character so relatable and genuine as she tried to repair her friendship with Gwen.

♥︎ This book features not just one, but two incredible love stories at different stages of their romance. The way it was written completely hooked me, impressing me once again with Melissa Demond's exceptional storytelling. And let me tell you, there were some steamy scenes that readers will absolutely adore! However, fear not if spicy scenes aren't your cup of tea because the author has crafted a sweet alternative that will still leave romance readers satisfied.

♥︎ If you're a fan of Christmas romance and romantic suspense, mark my words, this book is an absolute must-read as soon as it hits the shelves. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this book. In the meantime, I highly recommend delving into book one, Holiday Star, to become familiar with these characters. Although book two can be enjoyed separately, if you crave more from Caleb and Gwen, I wholeheartedly recommend picking up this book or indulging in the audiobook narrated by the talented Lidia Dornet.

♥︎ All in all, this book is the perfect romantic suspense with all the Christmassy vibes.

This is my third ARC review for Dr. Melissa Dymond and I'm so very happy that I get to read her books and express how much I love them! This story takes place after Holiday Star and follows Caleb and Gwen navigating wedding planning and a stalker of sorts. While we are reading this story a concurrent love story takes place between Jenny, Gwen's best friend and Dean, Caleb's bodyguard. While they never wanted to admit feelings for each other a snowstorm in NYC practically has them falling hard for each other in a night, realizing feelings had been there awhile.

So while a stalker threatens to ruin Caleb and Gwen's wedding and harm the bride, it's up to Jenny and Dean to help figure out who the stalker is. While doing so they find out more about each other, especially that they truly see each other and may want a future together.

This book was so lovely and I just was so happy to see a continuation of Holiday Star. I enjoyed the dual couple perspective and really enjoyed getting to see Jenny and Dean's relationship unfold. Can't wait for the next book! Would highly recommend! Plus some profits are donated to colon cancer research!

Thanks to NetGalley, Melisa Dymond, and Victory Editing group for allowing me to review this ARC!!

First, I love how the author considered all reader's preferences and wrote two versions of this story - a Sweet, Closed-door version, and a Spicy Open-door version. That option makes this story perfect for anyone!

Holiday Wedding is book 2 of a Holiday Romance Series but can be read as a stand-alone.

It's a Dual POV which is uniquely of two friends Gwen and Jenny. Gwen is two weeks away from her Christmas Eve wedding to the man of her dreams and one of Hollywood's hottest actors. While Gwen is at a medical conference she'll be presenting at, Jenny has come into town to assist with all last-minute wedding plans including assisting the groom's grumpy body-guard by stopping a stalker from spoiling the wedding plans.

What you'll find:
Mystery/Suspense
Enemies to lovers
Forced proximity
Found family
Snowed in
A one-bed situation
A dog that finds the girl!

I was captured by the mystery of who the stalker was and loved the chemistry of Gwen and Caleb.
I loved watching Jenny and Dean work together to find the stalker and watching the enemies become lovers!

I used the "read aloud" feature in the Netgalley app and thought how. nice it would be if the story was on audio. Hopefully this is in the works!

Thank you Dr. Dymond, Netgalley, and Victory Editing for my #gifted ARC.

4/5⭐️


Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC!!


This was seriously such a cute holiday romance, it had an equal amount of romance and an engaging mystery that kept the plot interesting too!! I loved all the Dean and Jenny moments, they’re so precious <3

“What do you want to call me?”
“Mine.” Dean says. “I want to call you mine.” <33

I absolutely loved everything about this story. The absolutely amazing support system that they all have for each other is top tier. I just wanted to jump in a group hug with them and tell them everything would be OK. I was on the edge of my seat wondering when IT would happen and oh my goodness when it did, it was intense. The feelings throughout the whole book were like that perfect Rollercoaster ride. I was nervous at first when I saw it was a multi couple story but without any doubt Melissa did AMAZING! I will post my usual type of review on IG, Amazon and goodreads at a later date!

Melissa Dymond does it again!! Holiday Wedding was amazing! Must read for Christmas! Each one of Melissa's books are better than the last. She is an artist with her words.

I loved how Holiday Wedding is Dual POV this time with Gwen and Jenny. It's two weeks from the big day and Jenny stays in New York to finish helping with the wedding planning while Gwen goes to California for her medical conference.

Jenny and Dean end up having to work closely together. Tension between them starts building and Jenny is confused about how Dean actually feels about her. When Caleb's stalker seems to escalate, they both work together to catch the stalker in order to keep the wedding from chaos.

Gwen leaves for her conference and struggles to leave when she has her wedding to look forward to. Gwen and Caleb are learning what their life together in the spotlight will be like. When the weather gets in the way, will Gwen be able to make it to her wedding in time?

The suspense in Holiday Wedding was so good! I loved how it had me keep guessing who the stalker was and I was shocked by ending because of how this story was written. Dean's story is so sad and heartbreaking, but Jenny is so supportive when she learns about his path and she is the perfect person to help him.
