Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Goodreads Synopsis
Violet Abrams has always been in love with everything love and weddings. Good thing, too, since she’s been a bridesmaid no less than seven times. Sure her turn was next, she’d been planning her own nuptials meticulously in a treasured three-ring binder...until her longtime boyfriend left her for someone else. Fast-forward to the day of his wedding, an ill-advised match being lit to said binder, and the fire department getting called to her sister’s bakery. Violet’s always been a little impulsive and a lot awkward, but having to explain to the super-cute firefighter, Ford Maguire, why she was setting fire to a bunch of wedding dress photos? Worst day ever. Except now her bridesmaid expertise has her helping Ford cover his “man of honor” duties in his best friend’s upcoming wedding. Ford may be a “bridesdude,” but forever is the last thing on his mind. And if there’s one thing a perpetual bridesmaid knows, it’s the importance of a happily ever after.
Review
Always a Bridesmaid is the second book in Getting Hitched in Dixie series but can be read as a standalone which is what I did. I never once felt like I missing information or plot points from not reading Just One of The Groomsmen but I can assure you that I’m going to be picking it up very soon because I absolutely adored this group of friends and these main characters.
Violet is an incredibly likeable character who is easy to relate to. She’s been hurt but she’s still so strong and stands up for what she believes in. I also really liked Ford and how hard he tries to prove that he isn’t like the rest of his family. He works hard and is so caring that he honestly screams ‘perfect man’, at least for me! However, lets be honest that real shining star of this novel was Trouble. That German Shephard stole the show and I couldn’t help but smile when he was in the scene.
This was a super cute, steamy and romantic book that I would definitely recommend if you’re a fan of banter, adventure and friendships. This was my first Cindi Madsen book and it will not be my last. Always a Bridesmaid was a well written and fun read that I already want to read the next book in this series (as well as Just One of The Groomsmen).
Rating: 4/5 stars
