Review-
Bridesmaid Blues was a story I liked very much. It's just the type of book I was looking for - it was romantic, light-hearted, and it's no secret that second chance romances are a personal favorite. Although I enjoyed this, the ending was a little too unrealistic and cheesy for my taste. I just don't understand how you can go from zero to sixty in that short amount of time. What happened in the end was bogus; let's leave it at that.
Dani is gearing up for her best friend Roxy's wedding when her ex-boyfriend, Jamie, shows up for the wedding as the best man for the groom. Imagine Dani's surprise when her best friend asks her to watch over Jamie in hopes that his cynical views of marriage won't taint her fiancé's view. Knowing that this could turn out to be a disaster after the way he left her, Dani agrees. The two start up a familiar friendship after clearing the air about what happened. But can Dani truly be friends with the man she desperately loves?
As I stated above, the ending was unrealistic but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story. Dani and Jamie had great chemistry, no time apart could change that about them. There's just one teensy-tiny problem - Jamie is a commitment-phobe. He ran out on Dani after he felt things were getting too serious. So lame! How about being honest? Scared? Okay, then tell her! Don't run away
like a pansy. Like a little boy. Up to this point I'm glued to my iPad wondering what was going to
happen; loving every minute of the angst.

Overall, I fully recommend this if you're in the mood for something fun and predictable. It's a down to earth type book that will keep you reading until the very end. Although I could have done without the ending, I'm still a sucker for HEA. Make sure you pick up a copy of you haven't already.
