This book kept me entertained till the end. A little bid of mystery, romance, and lots of humor. The characters were very, very funny. The family interaction was complex and hilarious!! I have the next one and intend to read it soon.
I loved this book! It was so well written. I loved the two main characters, and the way the author had everything come together was amazing! I didn’t see a lot of the twists coming, which I liked. Highly recommend!
Funny sweet book with nicely drawn characters whose depth were developed over the course of the book
When I agreed to review an ARC of this book, I was woefully unprepared for how good it was going to be. I’ve never read a book by this author before and though the description was intriguing, I assumed it was going to be a run of the mill romance… it definitely is not. This book is full of so much depth with the ultimate slow burn that began to build from the very beginning. The story follows Mila, a quirky and fiesty woman who is attending the wedding of her semi-evil stepsister in Hawaii. She may not like everything about her stepsister (and she is being a total bridezilla), but Mila is there to support her. When she meets Keaton, the groom’s brother, she discovers that he is totally opposed to the wedding – and plans to make sure it never happens. The two strike up a conversation, and somehow Keaton convinces Mila to aid him in his plan to find the groom’s high school sweetheart. What follows is a hilarious, light, fast-paced and fun adventure featuring our unlikely pair as they team up on their mission.
The banter and chemistry between Keaton and Mila is so fun to read – they are 100% quirky and adorable. I loved how K.S. Thomas put a refreshing spin on the manwhore trope, because Keaton is one adorable and endearing guy who is a much better man than he likes to show the world. It’s a clean read that focuses on our couple and building up their connection, taking advantage of their forced closeness and drawing them together. Super low angst but still heartfelt, it’s the perfect rom com for someone who just wants a story about falling in love and finding that person you can share all your secrets with. I’m so glad I tried out this new-to-me author, and I will definitely be trying more of her books in the future.

Who will win this wedding war
There can only be one who wins this wedding war between Mila and Keaton. She is the maid of honor and he is the best man. However, they are on opposites of this war as Mila wants to make sure her step-sister Mika gets hitched without any issues. Meanwhile Keaton wants to get the his brother out of this whole thing as fast as he can. Add in the fact that there are sparks flying between Mila and Keaton, some good like beautiful fireworks and some bad like those that will torch down a city.
This is a really wonderfully witty and engaging rom-com which had me up late at night reading the battle of the wills between Mila and Keaton and all the added supporting characters in the wedding celebration mix. I really enjoyed The Men Write in the Sugar and would recommend it to anyone looking for a funny story about a destination wedding in Hawaii that has more than a few unexpected bumps along the way to the “I do’s”.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Maid of Honor, MIla has one goal and that’s to make sure the bride makes it to that altar and says I do.
Best man Keaton has the goal to convince the groom to not go through with the wedding.
Keaton and Mila join forces knowing only one of them will reach their goal.
The characters are great and entertaining to read as they plan and work to reach their goals. Plenty of humor for some laugh out loud moments, romance and add in some sass with the characters and you have a fantastic read.

Jay and Sienna have a ridiculous wedding week planned in Hawaii. Step-sister Mika gets blackmailed into Maid of Honor by her sperm donor like deal making weasel of a father.
Her first encounter with members of the wedding party is a clueless one. Friend from college groomsman is the creep who hits on her in a slimy way, and she fakes not understanding English to get rid of him.
Of course the man who understands her Italian snippet acts the um douchebag was the nicest phrase she came up with. With flair and humor. Happily the brother of the groom, not the groom himself.
A story of history and family, and schemers like her bio dad who really do not understand family.
Love is a legacy not all can appreciate.

This is a delightful read & the title will make sense as you get into the book. I had a real lol moment there! The humour is witty, even rather sarcastic or confusing at times but good none the less if you like that sort of thing.
Mila blew me away – what an adorable kooky but lovable character she was! Also very inspiring considering all the crap she took from her father. Boy at times the whole thing was a confusing mess, not knowing what a lot of the characters were up to or their motives. Keaton didn’t know what hit him when he teamed up with Mila on one of their adventures. Despite his supposed reputation he was a decent guy esp when it came to his family. As for ‘Flea’ what would a book do without a gay guy and all his innuendos & saves.
Well I haven’t really told any of the story, just touched on the characters which were a great mix all involved in one crazy tale about a wedding in Hawaii. Sorry no spoilers from me.
