Have you ever felt as though you were having an out-of-body experience? An ethereal feeling that you were floating in the atmosphere looking down on a situation? If not, let me tell you, it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
Imagine you were at your best friend’s engagement party in Vegas. You were super excited because you were the maid of honor and the best man was the hottest football player you’d ever seen. Even this guy’s position as tight end was appropriate for his, well . . . tight end.
Anyway, there was something about his cocky attitude that ruffled your feathers and turned you on at the same time. Maybe it was the way he challenged you or because women seemed to flock to the gorgeous man. But according to him, he only had eyes for you. It didn’t matter if he was kidding or not, because you weren’t in the market for a serious relationship.
Then, for some reason, you engaged in a drinking game. Because why not, right? You were in Vegas after all. Well, let me tell you why not, because the next morning you noticed a silver band on your left ring finger. And adding salt to that tequila-induced wound, there was one on his too.
Yes, you read that right. Me, Alexa Barton, preferably always the bridesmaid and never the bride, married the uber-sexy, and let’s not forget cocky, football player, Jackson Cartwright.
I was a cliché. A married cliché. Whose “husband” wasn’t in a hurry to get an annulment and vowed to prove that we were meant to be together.
Once again, something that is becoming a common occurrence it seems, I just loved this new offering from author Carina Rose! The accidental wedding in Vegas theme was fun and light hearted and the romance throughout the book was just great. I loved getting to see so much of characters I’ve previously fallen in love with (still adore you Trent and Reese), but also getting to dive in deep to Alexa and Jackson. They are so different but I loved their characters and stories too, in a completely different way!
I love Alexa’s personality and unlike my love of Reese because of her football expertise, I found Alexa’s lack of football knowledge refreshing. She’s not dumb in a foolish, schoolgirl pretending-not-to-know way about it, just genuinely has never had enough interest to really learn and is starting at the beginning. I love her excitement when Jackson pulls out the video game of Trent and she’s excited to learn about the “draft thing” Reese is always excited about LOL. I love the joy and exuberance both Alexa and Jackson bring to the book. They both just seem so pure and full of love, despite seeing it not working out well for others in their personal lives. I love that both of them are willing to be vulnerable and honest with each other. I love the chemistry of this book. Overall, I just really enjoyed this story. It was lighthearted, refreshing, and I quickly read through this story not wanting it to be over. I don’t know if there will be any others along this story line, but I can tell you for sure I will be on the lookout for any new books Carina Rose writes. I am a big fan! ❤️
