Publisher's summary

USA Today best-selling author Meghan Quinn’s latest bauble is the charming story of a crafting queen battling a jaded divorce lawyer on a wedding reality show.

Luna Rossi is a veritable crafting genius — she can bedazzle and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete on The Wedding Game, a “do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert.

As a jaded divorce lawyer, Alec Baxter scoffs at weddings and romance. But when his recently engaged brother begs him to participate in The Wedding Game, Alec grudgingly picks up a glue gun and prepares for some family bonding.

Both fierce competitors, Luna and Alec clash on national TV as harsh words and glitter fly with abandon. But as they bicker over color swatches and mood boards, they find themselves fighting something else: their growing mutual attraction. While Luna is torn between family loyalty and her own feelings, Alec wonders if he might have been wrong about love and marriage all along....

Fun, Fun. Fun!

I have been on a romcom roll and Meghan Quinn just topped it off! It can't get any better than this! Luna signs her brother and fiance up for a TV show where the goal is to put on the best wedding for under ten thousand dollars. Determined to help give her brother the best out of life, she is planning on winning. Alec is roped into helping his brother and fiance on the show too. Not looking forward to the task, the brooding divorce lawyer comes in with a chip on his shoulder and no creativity. And our story begins. Crazy antics, funny games, couples arguing, brainstorming ideas and an unexpected love match. I was laughing and enjoying the fun the entire time! Luna is a fantastic character. I love the way her creative mind works. The size of her heart is huge and she will do anything to help and fix a problem even if it's not necessary. Alec is a little broken, and who better to help him out? Family, decorations, food, cakes, you name it, there is something to do, find fix and laugh at. The romance is fantastic and the family dynamics an added layer to make the story that much better. Quinn is a master at her craft and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Tor Thom and Lauren Sweet are our story tellers and they give a fantastic performance. Thom is so versatile and he shows how he can be outrageously tough and then turn into a marshmallow. Love it! Sweet comes through as Luna with all her quirks. Both have excellent comedic timing and bring out all the nuances in the story. Loved it!

I laughed so hard I peed my pants!

If you want a book that just brings joy this is it. If your homophobic this may not be your cup of tea. I really loved the warm way the hetro, gay and lesbian relationships were shown all with buckets of fun and happiness.

I bought this book on a whim. I didn’t expect to love it. Now I will look for other books by this author or wait for the next one.

I’m still laughing at the bucket of di€is. You have to read it if you want to find out what that is about.

good story too drawn out

storyline was interesting but too drawn out. I would not have 'read' this book. it was ok to listen but the reading of text messages was tiresome. I finished just to know the winner

Annoying Male Performer

This story is cute. it's what I call a "beach read," easy, fast, and you don't have to think about it hardly at all.

My only gripe was the male narrator. His voice is so deep it sounds like the movie preview voice over guy is reading the book. It is... distracting.

Fun listen

This story has many laugh out loud moments. I did have a slight disappointment toward the end, when the two, up in till then, main characters, found their inner pre-adult drama and angst. An excellent listen, in-spite of the angst.

Ridiculous number of F-bombs

...and what is it with adults acting like adolescents in rom-coms? There are some genuinely funny moments in this audio but I don't know that it makes up for its shortcomings. Narrators did a really good job but I think the choice for Alec's narrator was not a good fit for the character

Could have been spicier, but it was entertaining

I enjoyed listening to this! Both narrators were great at bringing the words to life. I just wish the story was spicier.

So hilarious!!!

I read some of the reviews and I have to agree- there is some crude language. There's cursing which I think is rarely necessary (and I don't curse in reality). There are some steamy times. And these, in my opinion, are not reasons to not give this book a try because this book is HILARIOUS. (fair notice, I love my romance novels, mostly rom-coms). My kids had to ask me why I was laughing so much, as I would erupt into giggles during a few particularly funny scenes. This is definitely one of my favorite First Reads books.

In this book, Luna is a DIY master. She signs her brother and his boyfriend up for the Wedding Game reality show in order to hopefully help them win an apartment of their dreams in NYC. They are matched against 2 other teams, including Alec's team. Alec is a divorce attorney who doesn't believe in love. His brother, Thad, is the ultimate groomzilla and the interactions throughout, between teams and in each team are priceless. The third team is made up of three women, including one of the couple's mother, Helen, who is a horrid person but she adds a lot of humor and is someone we can all root against.

This was an enemies to lover romance but so well done because the relationship evolves naturally. I adored how they worked together to try to get both their siblings the wedding of their dreams. They each have their flaws and they had to confront those flaws but this provided the right amount of angst to an overall hilarious journey.

I listened to the audiobook and really liked it. Tor Thom did a great job as did Lauren Sweet. I think that they were both very soothing to listen to but had fantastic comedic timing. Overall, I enjoyed this book immensely.

Not a fan of the Audio

LOVED LOVED LOVED this story. The male narrator was not a good fit for Alec’s character. Way too sultry sounding, when Alec has a funny and quick witted personality. The story was one of my favorites of MQ’s!! Made me laugh but also made me cry. I felt every bit of pain that Alec & Luna felt throughput the story.
