4.5⭐️ rounded to 5⭐️on Goodreads and retail sites. Never Date the Minister is the third book in the Whatever It Takes romantic comedy series by a maestro in the genre who brought us Random Acts of Crazy, Julia Kent. I have been loving this series since book 1, and this third book did not disappoint. Julia went from the loves stories of the the agency owners to the youngest person on staff. Nessa had grown into her role at Wedding Protectors, with much more responsibilities than she took on a few years earlier. She met Matt Draper at an Animal welfare benefit and went home together. Nessa took Matt’s number but didn’t agree to see him again, but she didn’t anyway when he showed up as the officiant at a wedding she was protecting. Matt so was overwhelmed by Nessa and pursued her every chance he got, but would he be able to convince Nessa that she was cut out to be a minister’s wife? This was another strong novel by one of my favorite authors. It was uproariously funny, incredibly well written with incendiary chemistry. Matt is one hot minister and Julia always brings the angst, the emotional and the spice. I loved this he falls first, workplace contemporary rom com with so many hurdles for this couple to jump to get to their happily ever after. I sincerely hope that this isn’t the end of this series because there are plenty of characters and chances for hilarity left for the staff of Wedding Protectors. Please Julia, keep them coming! I ardently recommend this series and this book for readers who enjoy a well written Rom Com.

Enjoyable and nice that it touched on expectations and how people are perceived.

This was a great third entry in the Whatever it Takes series, it uses what I enjoyed from the previous two books and thought everything worked together. The characters were everything in this book and had that romance element that I wanted. Julia Kent wrote this perfectly and left me wanting to read more in this series.

A sweet romance, between a wedding planner and a minister was not at all what I was expecting, but I'm not mad about it. I was pleasantly suprised to see how humorous and fun this story was, but also adding an emotional storyline about how social media affects us all, especially those who put ourselves out there for everyone to see.

Awe this one was a bit of fresh air in an unconventional way it was so cute. I really enjoyed Matt and Nessa. Especially in the beginning how we meet them from having a one night stand but the way how Nessa forgot Matt’s name and went to look for it and how Matt confronted her was humorous. Loved Sierra Simon’s The Priest reference. This was also a first read for me in this series and I didn’t fell lost at all.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Nessa is a wedding planner and she falls for the hot minister, Matt. Can they manage work at the same time?

Enjoy Nessa and Matt very much. Terrific chemistry. It's a fun swoony read. So many swoony scenes. too.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

OMG! This book is so funny! You have to read it! Nessa & Matt are a trip! The gym scene is hilarious! As funny & romantic as it is there’s also a really good lesson about social media. This is an all around uplifting, sweet HEA! Don’t just put it on your tbr list - read it right now!

I didn't enjoy this book at all. The POV and writing style just weren't for me; they didn't pull me into the story, even though I thought the plot was interesting.

I didn't know this was a book in a series, but I want to go back and read the prior stories. I love weddings and reading books about them. Kent did a great job with crafting this story and her characters. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
