This is a delightful read for fans of light-hearted, feel-good romance, particularly those who enjoy friends-to-lovers tropes, the marriage-of-convenience stories, and hockey-themed romances, with a dash of humor and a heartwarming, clean, and closed-door love story.

In order to get the medicine she needs the 2 mcs elope in Vegas. Turns out they loved each other all along.
No smut

Vale and Sloan decided to get married while in Vegas so she can use his medical insurance.
Sure, why not, right?
Sounds promising.
Both characters appear to be secretly in love or maybe lust with the other which made her agreeing to marriage a little more believable even though she wakes up not remembering getting married at first. Kinda odd even though she’s having medical issues. I’m just not believing it. I don’t know….. seemed a little far fetched for me.
Now add in their siblings are married to each other and then you have drama….
An okay story for sure - just not the one for me.

The book started well and had all thetropes I like but very quickly got derailed. The MMC took 'my wife' to a really obnoxious level. All the conflicts between them seemed forced also the MMC hid the contract thing and never really got any consequence for it. The FMC also seemed completely undecided ovef everything.

While I appreciate all the ooey gooey in a romance book, this was HEAVY on the ooey gooey with virtually zero spice and far too much self-loathing.

Sloan spent the entire book being absolutely faint of heart and literally fainting. There was so much conflicting information about Sloan. She took chances, never looked back...when that is ALL she did in this book. At one point it referred to her taking a brave leap by marrying Vale and not thinking about it but the entire wedding was her overthinking and whining/ being a scared puppy.

It was just not for me. The simp boy Vale who is shoveling out money, not caring about his NHL career (insane), etc. all over his "friend" Sloan. It was too much.

If you died down the melodramatics and added some spice, it would have been a great book. The holiday epilogue was a nice touch - I'm a sucker for Christmas.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC!

The most sweetest, heartwarming and beautifully written hockey romance!

The story and setting was very intriguing and Son's character was extremely precious and sweet.
Vale 😭😭😭 is sooooo sweet, understanding and a walking green forest!! His selflessness, kind and witty persona won my 💜
The chemistry between them was crackling and The slow burn was burrninnnnn 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

The detailed and heart touching story line and the very cute yet dysfunctional found family vibes, made this book my utmost favourite read of the month!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Definitely a must read for those looking for sweet and clean yet firey and sizzling romance 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️

I wanted to like this book, but the plot holes and emphasis primarily on physical attraction left me feeling the book was lacking.

Plot holes: if the FMC had such a severe health condition that she would consider marrying someone to get the experimental medications, I would expect that the medical condition plays a large role in the beginning of the book. It didn't. In chapter one she had an episode of amnesia. She had a headache once. That's it. After she was on the meds, she fainted once. There were other holes, but that was the most glaring to me. The book states it can be a stand-alone book, but perhaps it needs the one before it for context?

Romance: Again I think this is where I needed to read another book to set the stage for this book. If the falling in love and building a friendship happened in a previous book, I don't see how this can stand alone. In this book the conflict was primarily that both MCs were very physically attracted to each other ... and that was made evident all the time.

The story was a nice, cosy read without too much tension - the perfect romantasy . It might have felt like too fictional at some point but It was also a relief from the too real problems (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
Vale might be on my LIST of book boyfriends now , because who doesn't want a Cute and Hot (yes you heard right) Guy who doesn't see anyone but you and is extremely loyal !! Yes, please.
Sloan's Character was complex for me. At times, I didn't even understand her , but the way her resilience was portrayed was a nice touch.
i Don'T know why I'm reading books with extremely perfect MLs and scarred FLs .
VALE's first priority being Sloan in every situation was the most heartwarming thing for me. He knew what he wanted and he wanted "his wife" (Lol, I couldn't resist) . On the other hand , Sloan was confused, Self- pessimist- but that was just her character. bUt her not being able to convey her feelings when he was ready to help her with it (like there was no ambiguous behavior from him) and then getting sad about it pissed me off real bad.
Also, Vale was the best guy in this whole book ( tHAT man is perfection)..
i also couldn't understand why everyone was pressuring the poor guy. That pressure may have contributed to him being more attentive but he was already doing his best. "Sloan Above Him" Always. The story felt a lot like everyone pressuring him when he was just helping her in real (ik he liked her too, but that was a bit much) . Also, SLoan's sister Jaz was too involved in the whole marriage thing (I just didn't like it) . And VALE's brother who is apparently Jazz's husband didn't for the heck of it took his brother's side (listen him out man and just don't do everything you wife asks you to) .

The plus pointS were all the cute scenes they had because this book was really emotionally invested and emotional I got ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ
Vale and Sloan were a perfect couple and did balance each other out seeing how understanding and patient Vale was.
..
another was the bond between the team members of VALE's Hockey team. Leo was my absolute favorite and getting to read him in the bonus chapter was a treat.

Ehh sweet, predictable marriage of convenience. I think what irritates me most was the almost juvenile communication- it was a lot more internal monologuing and creating issues from nothing.

Perfectly Wedded is a cute marriage of convenience book with enough humor and romance to keep you going. Sloan and Vale make a fun "fake" couple, with secret feelings flowing out in waves.

Thank you NetGalley for an arc of Perfectly Wedded by Grace Worthington

The marriage of convenience trope has to strike a balance to come across as realistic while also being enjoyable to read, and this one did it well. The magnetism between Sloan and Vale was palpable and their banter and the way they end up working as teammate in their marriage before admitting to love was so good.

This book is technically the first in a series, but you would benefit from reading The Roommate Renovation first to get this character's backstories.

Thanks to the author for the gifted book. All opinions are my own.

I really loved this book and it was such an amazing book to end the year with (a fantastic one)
So many tropes going on in this book; friends to lovers, waking up in Vegas married, fake relationship, married for convenience. And I am here for it's all.

Main characters: Sloan and Vale
We also have the he fell first, I feel. He is such an amazing guy and shows how much he cares for her even as a "friend" he would do anything and he really tries to make her life the best he can. She also doesn't realize how well he pays attention to her and how much he really knows how she is. Which is super sweet and I loved this also.
This book has so much in it and it is such a fast read because you don't want to put it down.
Very addictive book to read and I loved all the characters.
I loved watching the find out each others real truths and how much they cared about each other wayyy beyond just friends.

I loved this book so much! This was just what I wanted in a book! It is a closed door, sports romance, with marriage of convenience. I would highly recommend this book!

Hockey romance read? Um, yes please!

Not sure why this is my vibe lately, but it is what it is.

Grace is such a great author in clean sports romance writing and this was yet another novel to prove it.

Sloan and Vale - ugh, you guyssss.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for my ARC!

I have never read anything by this author, but I will be looking out for other books they write in the future. I really enjoyed the story as well as the pacing of the story.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

This was a super sweet romance with closed door! I enjoyed both of our main characters, Vale and Sloan. I am always a fan of friends who have secret feelings/marriage of convenience stories. The only drawback is this book was not presented as a series, and I am pretty sure there are other books with our side characters featured. Parts of the story felt like I was missing details even though we were given glimpses of things. I still may go back to see what I was missing to fill in those parts. Still a fun read!

3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley for this opportunity! So like the book I’m going to just dive right in. This book was very middle ground to me. I didn’t realize that this was not the first book in the universe. This is also a marriage of convenience trope which in my opinion needs to start out with a little resistance before the romance. This relationship didn’t have the kind of resistance I was looking for. It was still enjoyable to watch them grow together. It was also an easy read. I love anything hockey related.

This is a sweet romance about two friends that secretly have feelings for each other, and use an excuse of needing health insurance to get married spontaneously in Vegas.

Very cute, sweet romance (fade to black/behind closed doors type), but it probably would have helped if I had started with book one in the series.

Giving 4 stars because there were a couple things that could have been wrapped up better.

2.5/5

This book had so much potential. However, once the sister showed up for the honeymoon. I lost interest and the book was difficult to finish from there.
