The Wedding Shake-up is a fun, charming, hilarious good read! This book is the perfect summer read. The Wedding Shake-up is a modern-day version of Tom Cruise's Cocktail! The witty banter that Tillie and Gabe shared is entertaining. They definitely shared good vibes and I really felt the chemistry between them. When Tillie and Gabe shared that first kiss, I cheered along with the crowd.

Tillie is a bit of a firecracker. Her big personality brought out the fun side of Gabe. Tillie and Gabe make a cute couple. On a serious note, I am glad that Gabe had Tillie by his side when he confronted his past. On a last note, I want to give a shout out to Gabe and Tillie's friends as they also brought the fun.… (mais)

The Wedding Confession by JJ Knight
Wedding Meet Cute #1

Delightfully fun, highly recommended, happy-making romance that I thoroughly enjoyed!

What I liked:
* Ensley: grew up poor, in charge of younger siblings way too young, caring, kind, outgoing, talkative, responsible, thrifty, crush on Drew for years, really REALLY liked her
* Drew: from a upper middle class family, grumpy, veterinarian, HS football player, has a temper, guarded, one nights only – for a reason that comes out later, really like him for Ensley – eventually
* The “meet cute” at the wedding, the reconnection of Drew & Ensley, and the shed scene
* The way Ensley stood up for her friend at the wedding
* Ensley’s close relationship with her siblings
* The texting between Ensley and Drew
* The confessions – one was almost too late
* The growth Drew made and the insights he gained
* The conversations with suggestive innuendos
* The animals – especially Sasha
* The references to Pretty Woman and an Officer and a Gentleman
* That both main characters were complex, likable, relatable, and lovable – I cared about them
* Reading a new-to-me author I would gladly read again
* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about people who make everything about themselves – even at someone else’s wedding
* Contemplating the difficult childhood Ensley and her siblings had to live through, endure, and survive as children

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC – This is my honest review.

5 Stars… (mais)

The hero and the heroine reconnected at the mutual friends' wedding. It is at this event that the two had a conversation that revealed some things about themselves. The heroine dared the hero to give her three-date nights and see where the relationship will go from there. This turn in their relationship begins at the city where the hero's veterinary clinic is located and where the heroine's pregnant sister resides. Thus, the journey towards the couple's happy ending begins...

This is the first book in the WEDDING MEET CUTE series by J. J. Knight. This book features a grumpy hero, a sunshine heroine, and some cute animals, too. I liked the beginning of the story and how both got to know each other again after years apart. There were also some supportive secondary characters that helped the couple, though there were also some other secondary characters that were not as helpful to the couple. I would have liked some more details in certain areas of the book for better transitions since there were times when the story didn't grab all of my reading attention. Overall, a nice beginning to the J. J. Knight series and I look forward to reading future additions when they are available.
