It might be cold outside, but this fun, romantic book will have you sitting by the beach and basking in the sunshine in no time! If you haven’t read Rachel Magee’s books, check this one out!
This was a delightful story with fun characters, romantic and a page turner. It was such a delight to read, while the TV is so sad with this VIRUS and violence in 2020. I highly recommend this story by Rachel Magee.
A sweet love story!
It was an enjoyable beach read. It was a sweet story.
Another excellent Hallmark romance only with a beach setting.
When I want a good-hearted romance I turn to Hallmark Publishing. Their books are as sweet and comforting as their movies. Paige and Aiden’s story is the perfect story to read as you relax on a hot summer weekend.
This book is a good one for the teenager in your life that wants to read romance older than young adult. It has no foul language and no sex scenes (mild kissing). Also a good book for your elderly grandma.
A bonus: the book includes a recipe for BBQ Brisket Tacos with Sunshine Slaw. I am thinking of making this summer.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hallmark Publishing through NetGalley. Any and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
What a great fun summer read! This is such a lighthearted book that it is perfect for that beach read or sitting on the deck in the mountains. Oh heck, it is perfect for everywhere! Thanks for the great read!
Paige has always thought that her Happily Ever Afteer would be with Brody, they had a very nice and happy relationship, but when he goes to work in another country and stops communicating with her, she’s wondering what happened. They meet again in a wedding that she is organizing and when she sees Brody with another girl in his arms she decides that she will win him back.
She has known Aiden for a long time because she is best friend of his sister and has always had a very strong friendship and identification with him. Aiden only takes his business seriously and thinks casual relationships are the best thing for him. Now he needs a company for a business meeting and he and Paige decide that a fake dating is the best solution for them, she makes Brody jealous and he gives a more solid commitment image to investors. Win-Win …
But as they spend more time together, they realize how strong the connection between them is and begin to question what they really want.
This is a typical Hallmark romance that warms the heart and leaves people with a smile on their faces, but Aiden abuses a bit of his luck with Paige near the end and it annoyed me a bit, mainly because he opened the eyes very fast in a certain situation involving his grandmother and Paige in my opinion had shown how insecure she was before that. Anyway, it’s a situation that I can not talk too much because I would release a spoiler.
Anyway, I loved to follow the details that gradually made them realize the importance that each one had in the life of the other. It was a good story to read.
This book is so perfect for the start of summer. I loved watching Paige figure out what she really wanted out of life, and what was most important. Aiden was so perfect! I loved how he could find fun in every situation, and how he finally realized what was in front of him all along! I seriously hope we get to see Paige’s friends get their own HEA’s!!
Another lovely Hallmark story. Fun and entertaining!
Fun romantic tale from Hallmark. I really hope this becomes a movie. Great characters to enjoy. The beach, friends and a wedding. Perfect summer read.
Thank you NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
BEACH WEDDING WEEKEND by Rachel Magee warmed my heart and reminded me of why I love romance. Wedding stories are my favorite, and put the wedding on a beach on the Florida panhandle, and I’m swooning! The setting was perfect, with the ocean (baby dolphins!) and the pre-wedding festivities on the beach. I’ve now added visiting Seacrest to my bucket list!
Of course, Paige and Aiden were adorable together, as they played fake boyfriend/girlfriend for a series of business lunches for him, and to make her ex-boyfriend jealous. Paige is a motivated woman, smart and cute as she stumbles through some awkward situations with her ex in the beginning of the story. Aiden is a handsome, successful, commitment-phobe in business and life. She thinks plans are good, but he thinks they stop people from living. I enjoyed their interactions, especially their confusion over what I already knew, that they were going to fall in love with the beautiful backdrop of the Florida beach.
This sweet friends-to-lovers, fake boyfriend romance had me smiling throughout as I swiped through my Kindle, anxious for these two to get their acts together and make it work. A lovely story, highly recommended for romance lovers looking for a calm, heartwarming read.
Eleven months ago the love of her life walked away from their relationship for a job overseas, and there hasn’t been a day that has went by that she hasn’t thought of him. Paige thought they were headed towards something more permanent, like a forever kind of thing, but when he left he took their future with him and left her alone and brokenhearted. Now she has learned that Brody has come back home, and before she can get excited about a possible reunion she learns that he didn’t come alone. He replaced her with a gorgeous actress, and there is no possible way she can compete with that… or can she?
Then her friend Aiden offers up a solution to her problem, he’ll play her fake boyfriend for a weekend while their attending a mutual friends wedding, and use their “relationship” to make Brody jealous and help him to realize what he is missing out on. Paige reluctantly agrees to this little plan, but after a few faux steamy moments her heart starts to lead her down another path…
Beach Wedding Weekend will charm you with it’s perfectly crafted words and endearing cast of characters, it’s captivating and so good for the heart! I loved this first time read, it’s pages held humorous moments that made me giggle, tender moments that touched my heart, and steamy moments that made me swoon. This light-hearted friends to lovers tale satisfied on all fronts, the words were addictive, and the characters told a believable story that left me aching for more! Highly recommend you get your hands on this one, it’s certain to leave your heart singing it’s praises!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
I thought this was easy to read and a delightful story. Beach wedding weekend had a wonderful storyline and well written. I thought the characters were delightful. It kept my interest throughout this book. I truly loved this story.
Thank you NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Romance at its finest. Best friends, weddings, and a beautiful beach wedding in Florida will give you that wonderful, hopeful, happily ever after feeling you want from a romance. You will just have to guess who the romance will involve. From fake boyfriends to trying to win back old boyfriends and causing a love triangle this book has it all and my favorite line too. “He was nothing like what she thought she wanted but everything she needed, and here, in his arms, she felt like she had finally found home.” I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
Magee concocts the perfect recipe for romance. Heartache and humor with a good dosage of wisdom thrown in for good measure. Beach Wedding Weekend gives what if a little spit shine and focuses on the right now. Paige gave her heart to a far off dream and found her forever a tad closer to home. Sugar meets spice and delivers heartwarming.
This was such a sweet clean romance book. One that takes you on a journey of figuring out what you want even when you least expect it. Maybe you think you want one thing but in the end you want something so much better.
Paige and Aiden have been friends since Paige and Ciera were freshman in college. They both enjoyed each other’s company and Paige was an overall sweetheart. Even though their relationship is fake for the wedding, sparks start to fly and feelings start to flourish. Walls get broken down and love really blooms between the two.
Enjoyable clean romance. One for all romance lovers.

All the Feels…
It was refreshing to read a true romance story about the affairs of the heart. Paige is a wedding planner and knows all about HEA’s. She had thought she had found hers with Brody. Brody shocked her by moving to Europe with the promise that he would be back for her. He made good with his promise, but he came back one year later with a stunning actress on his arm. All hopes of her dream of living forever with Brody went up in smoke.
With a mission to win him back, Paige and her best friends concoct a plan to convince Brody what he would be missing if he stayed with his gorgeous girlfriend and not be with her. Paige enlists the help of Aiden her friend since forever. Aiden pretends to be her boyfriend in the hopes of making Brody jealous and change his mind about Paige. As they all come together, we learn that everything is not what it seems. Nothing goes according to plan.
The characters in this book were amusing and entertaining adding humor to this story. This was an enchanting romance love story. I highly recommend.
