When his old friend Jessica is getting married, she sends Ben an invite. He doesn't want to go, but his parents insist, as Jessica and Ben were childhood friends. Best friends until one day Jessica dropped him like a hot potato. During her wedding, with all her family and friends looking on- Jess is on the one dropped like a hot potato. Despite the past, Ben helps Jessica and ends up going on her honeymoon with him.

I'll be honest. In the beginning of this book, I didn't much like Jessica. She came off snobby. Ben was real. I could not, for the life of me, figure out just how the author was going to make this work. Then Ms. Strom broke my heart, the path Jessica takes is not only towards love, but also towards making herself whole again. She is ripping off old band-aids and finally healing the wounds on her soul.

I didn't have any expectations about "Anything but love", so this book came by a nice surprise.

Jessica is getting stood up on her wedding day and has no idea what to do with her future. Honeymoon is also booked and then she meets Ben, an old childhood friend, at her wedding reception. Together they decide to go on the honeymoon to Bermuda.

I really liked the setting in the tropical surroundings and the activities. Jessica and Ben also had a nice chemistry and I enjoyed them being together.

Jessica was an interesting character and I liked her development throughout the story. Ben was a really nice and down-to-earth guy, but remained a little bit shallow sometimes.

The story was very enjoyable and I was surprised the smooth writing and storyline.

This was a cute read, it followed the vein of kinda ex best friends getting together after Jessica's wedding falls through and Ben persuades her to still go on her honeymoon. However she will only go if he goes with her.

Jessica reinvented herself after something happened in her childhood leaving Ben behind with it and not giving him any reason as to why she would no longer talk to him.

On the honeymoon both characters reconnect and Ben does his best to help Jessica find the true her again getting her to try things she otherwise would not do, however the chemistry between them from the beginning starts to burn up the sheets, but Ben is a true gentleman.

The only thing that annoyed me was both of them keeping their true feelings kinda hidden, so when they could have been happier earlier, both of them had to wait a couple of months to realise that they actually wanted each other enough to make a move.

The story is a little slow, but overall it was a very enjoyable read.

A bit predictable at times and the steamy scenes were too much info. Would have been a sweet romance otherwise.
