Perfectly written!
Absolutely loved this!!! There was TONs of secret pining in this!!! It was fun seeing what they thought of each other before they knew what the other was thinking. Highly recommend!!! The kisses are 🔥

Received a review copy via NetGalley for my honest opinion

3.75⭐️ im a simple girl. if a book has a man holding a hockey stick on the cover, i will read it.

this book was the perfect short and sweet palate cleanser after the darker romance and fantasy i have read recently. it was super fasted paced and their story was so so wholesome and sweet. although this is the first book that i have read in this universe, i loved the found family of the team and their spouses and im excited for the next couples!!

the only thing about this book that bumped it from a 4 to a 3 is that vale and sloan were a little too insta-lovey for me. usually in a marriage of convenience, the couple is against each other at first and you see the development within the relationship throughout the book. since both the characters were best friends and had known feelings for each other already at the start, the development was missing for me but i still loved seeing them grow with each other.

After renting a room in his brother and sister-in-law's home, Vale never expected to become close to her sister Sloane. She's slowly recovering from an accident with brain trauma and he's there for her, unlike her ex was. He's determined to just be her friend after she turned him down once, but when she confides that she can't afford a new trial drug that could change her life, he proposes a deal. Marry him for the insurance, fake it for the time rewrites for the needs to work, and then quietly divorce. She reluctantly agrees, not knowing the firestorm their marriage will create for her family and his hockey team. How much is he willing to risk for the best friend that he's grown to love?
This was a clean friends to lovers romance with sweet realistic characters. Definitely a slow burn, but the vacation vibes and secret feelings on both sides kept the story moving.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

“Life has taught me that love doesn’t protect you from hard things. It doesn’t shelter you form the storm. Instead, the torrents will come, pummeling you in a thousands small ways, and it’s love that buoys you, keeps you from going under, give you reason to hold on ». Vale and Sloan’s journey from best friends to a marriage for convenience and finally love forever is full of emotions, obstacles but it’s worth it all.

When I picked up Perfectly Wedded, I was drawn in by the premise of a marriage of convenience mixed with a friends-to-lovers story. The synopsis promised humor, romance, and hockey - a combination I was excited to dive into. While this book delivered a sweet and simple romance, it fell short in a few areas for me.

Let’s start with the positives: I enjoyed the humor and banter woven into this story. There were moments that made me smile, and I appreciated the lighthearted tone throughout. The HEA was satisfying, and I was rooting for Sloan and Vale to make it work, even if their journey was a bit bumpy.

However, there were several aspects that pulled me out of the story. Despite being marketed as a standalone, it felt like I was missing significant backstory. Certain dynamics and details weren’t fully explained, which left me feeling disconnected from the characters. The pacing also felt off - Sloan and Vale’s relationship lacked the depth and chemistry I hoped for, making the romance feel flat at times. Going back in time I would choose to read the other books in the interconnected standalone series so that I could better understand these characters.

Some plot points didn’t quite make sense either. For example, why were they living with four other people after getting married, especially when money wasn’t an issue? And the multiple Kevin Costner references? That was an odd choice, considering the characters are in their early twenties.

Overall, Perfectly Wedded is an easy, sweet read perfect for fans of closed-door romcoms. If you’re looking for a light book with some fun tropes like marriage of convenience and friends-to-lovers, this might be a good fit for you - just be prepared for a few plot holes and a slower pace.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poets & Saints Publishing for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest feedback!

2.5 rounded up to 3

Vale and Sloan get married so she can benefit from his insurance. But what happens when it stops just being about convenience and starts feeling real?

Read if you like:
-Marriage of Convenience
-"My Wife"
-Vegas Weddings

This was such a cute concept, but the pacing was off. Perhaps if I had read the related book first, it might have been a better experience. It felt like Vale and Sloan fell in love off the page. What should have been slow burn friends to lovers instead read like instalove. Also, the opening moved so fast and then slowed down. I would have loved more of them in Vegas before the wedding.

While this book is said to be a standalone, and I read it as such, I’m here to say it missing so much backstory.
I’m positive it would be better if it was just listed as apart of a series.
I liked both of the leads but Vale needs to be a big boy and use his words, and Sloan acts like her having adhd is an excuse for everything. Honestly, that whole thing doesn’t even make sense, whenever it’s mentioned it seems like a last minute add on to check a box because it just doesn’t fit.
“I have adhd, so I leave relationships before they leave me?”
That’s not how that works 😂

No spice, and maybe that’s why the romance just felt flat to me, there was very little longing touches, very little kisses, it was too much friend zone, no passion. I needed a Darcy hand flex or something

Perfectly Wedded is a cute read that shows two friends truly falling in love. Vale and Sloane both grow as characters through out the book, however some of their relationship does feel rushed. Some of their relationship barriers seem like they would and could be avoided if they were truly close friends. I really liked Vale as an MMC, he genuinely cared for Sloane and looked for ways to break her out of her comfort zone while also providing for her. I do think that while the author stated you could read this as a stand alone, you probably need to read books before this to fully understand all the characters.

I loved this marriage of convenience story! I think it was even more special because it was a friends to more story, as well. There was this excellent back and forth balance of both characters actually wanting more, but being afraid to tell the other, while also being married to each other. So, they danced around those feelings a bit, but I loved how completely Vale was devoted to Sloan. It was clear that he was a true friend to her, but once they married…whew! He began to do his best to show Sloan how important she was to him and that he didn’t want an end date to their marriage.

Sloan was so skittish! Vale really had such patience for her. It showed how much he understood his friend, the woman he loved, and how he wanted to be there for her. The author did a great job of creating believable tension between these two and moving them from friends to more as the story progressed.

You can jump into this first book in the Perfect Crush Hockey Romance series or you could go back and read The Roommate Remodel if you want to see Sloan and Vale as the side characters to their siblings in that book, which introduces the hockey team that both brothers play for.

I loved this story and am looking forward to more in the series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Perfectly Wedded is the first book in this series but we've met the mcs before. This can absolutely be read without reading the previous books but I would definitely recommend reading The Roommate Remodel as Brax and Jaz make consistent appearances in this book.

Best friends, roommates, and a marriage of convenience, what's not to love about Vale and Sloan.

Everything about Vale screams green flag and it's beyond refreshing to read about a man who will do anything for his best friend/wife. Sloan's character growth is beautiful to watch develop. And their chemistry is so cute.

If you want a sweet, clean book to enjoy in a quick read this is definitely for you (honestly any Grace Worthington book will hit the spot)

I Loved This read! Sloan marries her best friend (and brother in law!) for his insurance to get her much needed medication after her accident. The two quickly fall in love and I absolutely adored watching their relationship grow as they attempted to keep their secret under wraps. Vale will and does give up anything necessary to be with Sloan and watching her understand that and begin to feel safe with him is just the sweetest progression. I love the dynamic with all the hockey players, and their siblings. This was such a cute read and I would absolutely recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley, Poets and Saints Publishing and Grace Worthington for the chance to read this in exchange for my honest review!

Sloan y Vale aparecen en el último libro de la serie Renovation Romance Sweet, The Roommate Remodel. No es necesario leerlo, solo menciono este dato por si tienen curiosidad sobre cómo todos esos jugadores de hockey terminaron viviendo con las hermanas MacPherson.



Sloan sufrió un grave accidente automovilístico que la dejó con muchas secuelas. Los médicos han encontrado un tratamiento que podría mejorar su condición significativamente, pero el problema es que su seguro no lo cubre. Ella le cuenta todo esto a Vale, quien se ha convertido en su amigo, y él no duda en ayudarla. Piensa que la mejor manera de hacerlo es casándose con ella para poder agregarla a su seguro. Solo hay un pequeño inconveniente: ella está enamorada de él y no sabe si podrá ocultarlos para no perder su amistad.

Disfruté mucho de este libro. Al principio tenía mis dudas sobre solicitar el ARC, ya que no me encantó el libro anterior, pero la sinopsis de este me llamó la atención, y al final tomé una buena decisión.

Me encantó Vale, su paciencia, dedicación y esfuerzo para que Sloan se enamorara de él.

Best friends Sloan and Vale are in Vegas when they realise that the best way to ensure Sloan is able to access health insurance is to get married. Of course, then they have to keep the reason for their marriage a secret from their friends and family - which isn't so easy when they start to develop very real feelings for each other.

As a fan of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy's hockey romance, it was great to get to meet Vale and his team, the Carolina Crushers. I'm also a sucker for the accidental marriage in Vegas trope, so this is a fun light read that I would recommend to anyone enjoying the hockey romance trend!

The first thing I must say is that 5 stars are not enough. This book was amazing and such a fun read. I devoured it and did not want to put it down! The characters and the family/friends are so much fun to read about. I can't wait for the next in the series!

I loved this book! I have not read the Renovation Romance series where Vale and Sloan are introduced, but it was easy to fall into their story and fall in love with them. I will definitely have to go back and read that series because now I NEED to know the story of Jaz and Brax as well as the others. The journey Vale and Sloan go through had me in tears a couple times but I was also swooning so hard at some of Vale’s gestures. These two are perfect for each other and you will love their story as well.
Update - I have now read the whole Renovation series and LOVED it. Definitely read them all. You will fall in love with all the characters and their stories.

Sloan needs help and as her and Vale continue to talk things continue to spiral. They finally get to the point of being married which causes so much chaos. I liked their story as they finally figure out they are meant for each other. A great story.

Second in a series - didnt know that- but can be read as a stand alone Vale and Sloan are friends who get married cause she needs medical insurance he's a hot hockey player with a plan (a literal insurance plan) so after some back and forth they do the deed-- i mean get married in Vegas - how will they handle a fake marriage (BTW, they live with her sister and his brother who are married as well as a few other team members) do they have real feelings for each other or they just playing along to get Sloan the meds she needs? It's a fun light read- definitely gonna go back and read #1 and will read the next one

Grace Worthington has done it again! So far I never read a book by her that didn't sweep me away with the best storytelling and hold me spellbound with the sweetest romance. Vale and Sloane's story had been suggested in the Roommate Remodel and I had every hope their romance would be as charged as every look they shared in that book, and as I am sure you are already guessing, the author delivered a book that had the sweetest of Cinnamon Roll MMC who is willing to risk all for his best friend and get her the care, and love, she richly deserves. This best friends to lovers, accidental marriage, marriage of convinence romance has a new favorite micro-tropes of "My Wife" and "My Husband" that just had me melting on the inside each time that sentiment was voiced because it was code for 'I love You' every time it was said. And wow could Vale deliver that line so well in an almost toe curling way....sigh. And Sloane just tore my heart apart, she has gone through so much to lead her to Vale and watching her grow into that realization is for me the heart of what makes the most successful romances...the ones where love grows so quietly that the moment it blooms just eclipses everything that happens around it. This is a happy ending made all the sweeter for the journey that led to it!

Please Note: This is a sweet, clean, closed door romance that has all the feels of passion that Sloane and Vale have for each other but none of the details.

Me encantó.

No hay nada de lo que pueda quejarme, ¿entonces por qué no ponerle 5 estrellas? No hay una razón como tal, mis reseñas se basan en los sentimientos que me provocan los libros y si bien me encanto, no llegué a amarlo. No me malentiendan, es una muy buena historia, todos los personajes me cayeron bien y sin duda lo recomendaré y estaré pendiente de los siguiente libros.


Mi favorito fue Vale.


Gracias NetGalley y al editor por el ARC a cambio de una opinión honesta.

This is a closwd door, clean and wholesome romcom. I'd rate it PG if it were a movie.

I loved how this Marriage of Convenience was handled. It showed the importance of commitment and what marriage is truly about: the relationship between two people (the emotional, social, and the spiritual connections) not only the physical attraction.

I love the depth of emotion and struggle to change the patterns shown them by their parents. I really love how Grace showed Sloan struggled with feeling worthy of such attention and love.

Vale is the biggest, coolest, cinnamon roll. The hockey-player side characters are great and fun.

There are no swears, no alcohol, and level 2 descriptive kisses only. Dual POV
Awesome Job Grace!
