About this listen
Libby St. Clair believes in fate - so much so, she's willing to pin everything on a curse a fortune-teller placed on her and her two best friends when they were kids. The curse, that each of them will marry before 30, have a disaster of a wedding, and end up with a man other than her original fiancé, has come to fruition for both of her friends, who are now deliriously happy. But Libby's attempt to quick-start the curse by proposing to her wrong-for-her boyfriend ends in a wild dash from the altar.
Having spent most of his adulthood fleeing responsibility and commitment, Noah McMillan is finally ready to grow up. Of course, figuring out how is still a work in progress. When he realizes that he's in love with his friend, Libby, he flies to Kansas City to put a stop to her wedding. But Libby's already pulled a runaway bride. Eager to cheer her up and prove that he can be the man she deserves, he takes her on a madcap car trip that will bring them all the way to the City of Sin. In Vegas, those who risk it all either win big or lose everything, so what will happen if Libby and Noah take a gamble on love?

Story
Romance isn't an option for Holly Greenwood. With her wedding planner career on the line, she needs to stay focused, and that means pleasing her demanding boss, not getting distracted by her mind-alteringly hot neighbor.... Ex-marine Kevin Vandemeer craves normalcy. Instead he has a broken-down old house in need of a match and some gasoline, a meddling family, and the uncanny ability to attract the world's craziest women. At least that last one he can fix.

When tech billionaire Rory Byrne approaches us, wanting to develop the matchmaking app my sister and I dreamed up (and Nana shot down), she jumps at the chance. My grandmother is nothing if not opportunistic. Of course, there’s a catch. She’ll only do it if Rory lets us matchmake him the old-fashioned way. He’s going to say no. Please God, let him say no. The last thing I want to do is matchmake an entitled rich jerk.

Story
They say it happens when you least expect it. It did for me. It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen: Cameron’s Mac: Hi. And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life. We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table. It worked. I fell in love with his no-holds-barred attitude, sexy smirk, and undeniably good heart...and for a while we forgot about our baggage.

Story
Love and the right timing were two things I didn't believe in. Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn't built to withstand the winds coming in our direction. Love and timing. I didn't believe in either. Then there was you....

I think for sure it must've been a dream because there's no way a guy could look like that, touch me like that, and be so in tune with me on every known level and disappear, leaving me with nothing but a good story to tell my friends. When he walks into my bar three months later, everything I thought I knew and what we'd had disappears in the blink of an eye and the blinding light of the three-carat diamond on his fiancee's hand.

Absolutely loved The Wedding Pact series!!!
Another 5 star read in the Wedding Pact series! You will fall in love with Noah and Libby and there's visits from all our favorite characters from the previous 2 books in the series! Noah and Libby have their own roller coaster of a ride but I loved it and loved getting to know more about these two!

The Gambler
This was my favorite book of the series. Libby and Noah were made for each other, but they wouldn’t admit it. They didn’t want to risk their friendship.
Libby decides she is going to ask her 5 month boyfriend Mitch to marry her in hopes that her real soulmate would come along and bust up the wedding. When they were at the alter, Libby realized there wasn’t anyone out there to sweep her off her feet. She decided to make a run for it! She ends up on a road trip with Noah.
This book was funny. I love the characters, especially the over-the-top grandmas. Fun, quick read.

Better than first 2
Third in series.
I liked this book better than the first two in the series. The premise is runaway bride, but the story is two broken souls finding each other.
Wow - these two main characters - do they ever have self esteem issues. Eesh. Painful to hear but it rings true much more than the 1st two books.
And the women from the first two books (who Libby helped so much) were horrendous to her. Yikes.
I like having the epilogue - many books in this genre end the book one sentence after the couple stops fighting.
Sexy times are hot. Very brief though. One erotic scene?
Narrator is okay.

About Time!
These two were destined to be together, dispute what their friends say or think. They just needed to get out of their own way. It was an adventure watching these two discover the love they both felt for each other. As always, the narrator Shannon McManus hit all the marks. I really enjoyed this story.

I like this narrator. This story was a nice conclusion to the trilogy. If it were a TV movie I could see me watching it over and over again along with the 2 stories that preceded it.

Flat characters, unrealistic ADHD, but cute story
The story was cute, if a bit unbelievable. It's pretty common in romance novels to have a "player" settle down when they meet the right person. This story is interesting in that two such "players" settle down for each other. The unbelievable part comes in the suddenness of the resolution.
The other sad part, to me, was the lack of depth of the characters. Both had traumatic or at least difficult childhood issues, which come out during the story. You can see the way Libby's experience affected her, but get none of the thought process that leads to her decisions. The inner turmoil is completely hidden. Then, it turns out Noah has ADHD, which is part of his trouble with his father. Again, you can kind of see how that trouble shaped his life, but we don't see any of the reasons for it in his thoughts. And then, as a woman with ADHD who is also married to a man with ADHD, I don't really like the way he was portrayed. The author was clearly trying to show ADHD as an "ok" thing, and not attack it or stigmatize. But she fell back on some stereotypes and misinformation, including that medication makes you feel like a zombie/not creative. She does mention that he came to terms with needing medication for the rest of his life, but it never comes up that he's still on it or not. And, after having read the other books in the series, his inner monologue is no different than that of her other male characters. It doesn't seem like the character actually has ADHD, just that he needed a "flaw" or an "issue" to have fought with his father over, and the author tacked it on after the story was written.
Spoilers Below.
And then the resolution is so strange. They never speak about having feelings for each other, though the reader know both are coming to terms with being in love with each other but are scared of being hurt by the other's typically casual approach to dating. Then they're in vegas, and so you start assuming they will make a bet (Monica & Chandler style) and end up getting married. Then they start playing Truth or Dare, and you assume they'll "truth" out love or wanting marriage or maybe just "dare" the wedding. But no. They just kiss a couple times, then he says he'll marry her because of the curse, and she says ok. The wedding scene was great, but getting there was disappointing and confusing.
