You ever have one of those really terrible days at work?
You know, where the maid of honor accuses the bride of cheating on the groom with the best man AND the groom’s father?
No? Welp…
Welcome to life as a wedding planner for the rich and entitled of Manhattan. I’ve seen it all—from the nastiest bridezilla to the most overindulged billionaire.
And Evan is the worst.
Tall, dark, and … nastiest bridezilla to the most overindulged billionaire.
And Evan is the worst.
Tall, dark, and handsome, he has a ridiculously ripped body under his formal suit and runs a massive hedgefund that’s actively making the world a worse place.
I don’t even feel sorry for him when he walks away from the alter in a daze.
Well, maybe a little bit.
Enough that I now have a billionaire holed up in my teeny tiny apartment.
I regret it immediately.
My violently antisocial cat has welcomed him like a long lost brother, Evan’s half-naked six-foot-five frame is sprawled across my bed, and he’s eaten all of my lasagna.
A day and an epic screaming match later, he’s out on the street, and I have my high-stress, lonely life back.
But I can’t worry about a billionaire’s hurt feelings.
After all I have a business to run and bridezillas to corral.
But when I go to meet with my latest bride, guess-who is there smirking at me.
Evan’s decided he’s ready to move on from the cheating witch.
Who does he want as he rebound?
Me.
But I am immune to Evan’s obnoxious displays of wealth and his piercing blue eyes.
These panties are staying firmly on.
Mostly.
Except for that one time.
But it’s not like anyone’s falling in love right? Right?!
This standalone, full length romantic comedy has no cliffhangers but does have a swoon-worth HEA! This book is STEAMY! The highs are hilarious and the lows are as deep as the voice of the guy you fantasize about!

Some hilarious moments. I enjoyed the camaraderie that Ivy had with her friends and fellow business partners. For 80% of the book though I was annoyed at Ivy for being such a pushover, Evan for being clueless and the most hideous brides to walk the planet.
Bridezillas and Billionaires is a great romantic comedy that will have you laughing so hard through the book.
Ivy is a wedding planner who is about to have a bad day, when the Groom finds out his bride has been cheating on at the alter and takes off. Ivy is left to clean up the mess and it’s not till later she finds Evan hiding in her car. This story takes you on a over the top ride as Evan realizes what he want, and Ivy continues to deal with her Bridezillas.
This was just a great book for when you just want to take time to escape.

Absolute delight! I am a great fan of Alina’s work and this latest book certainly did not disappoint. I like her covers, you don’t need a half-naked inked hunk to know that the book is going to convey the atmosphere of the cover. It is a light-hearted, witty, well-written page-turner. The story is certainly about bridezillas as the title suggests but the backdrop of the storyline is about the developing attraction and affection between Ivy, the wedding planner, and Evan, everybody’s dream, the tall, dark, very handsome and not to forget rich billionaire. Ivy and her team of friends and experts at all things “wedding”, do their best to accommodate the most outrageous demands from their clients. Every character in the book, like in all Alina’s stories are very well developed and described, the dialogue is often witty, scene-appropriate, at times, steamy hot and sexy, dotted with Evan’s rather “colorful” language. Getting back to the characters, this is the book where the reader realises that to like a book, one doesn’t have to like the characters in it. That was most certainly the case with bridezilla extraordinaire, Imogen. She is phony, pretentious, spoiled, entitled, rude, and demanding to the extreme. I was so frustrated at times, that even being a peace-loving person I wanted to “bitch-slap” her, along with Camilla, the other bridezilla in the story. Then we see the Svensson brothers with their rather unscrupulous way of handling their business and the reader can see that Ivy in many respects is heading for several all-time-low moments. But Ivy is resilient, and well-versed at being stress-trained from dealing with her selfish mother, guilt-tripping her for years. The story, in spite of everyone’s insecurity-come-stupidity, turns around to a HEA. Along the way we have a feral/demon cat thrown in, not to mention seeing Imogen’s wish, to having the kind of wedding, people will talk about for years, come true. Is the bridezilla’s wedding exaggerated and outlandish? Oh, yes, but this is a book, which is only limited by the imagination. Very good editing and writing style enhanced the experience. This is a complete hoot of a book that I can whole-heartedly recommend.

It was my first book from this author. To be honest Wasn’t going to read it because I am really tired of the wedding planners (and assistants….all the books are the same). However I liked very much Evan, he is not the typical male character, has a lot of personality and he is really funny. I give it four stars and not five because the problems of the book were too much for me and the same applies to some of the characters. I would really like to read Mika story, i wish she had more personality and I hope she develops it for her book. The same for Sebastian. I do not know if they are available, but they would be nice.
Really enjoyed this laugh out loud, fun, sexy and action packed adventure filled with witty and engaging charters, fun dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable and exciting passion. Was an edge of your seat yet fun journey from beginning to end. Great reading
This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The book has great characters, lots of humor, and fun storyline.

Evan is all set to get married, that is, until the maid of honor shows him photos of his bride engaging in things she shouldn’t be! Seriously, she’s having sex with his father, as well!? Wedding cancelled!
Ivy is the wedding planner that put together this show, and now she’s got a wedding gone bad and a missing groom. She finds the groom, at her car and our story takes off from there!
I enjoyed this story, it was very different (in a good way) then what I’ve been reading lately!!
Definitely an entertaining story! Being a wedding planner and having to deal with the bridezillas can make for an interesting story line and some laugh out loud moments. The characters are realistic as are the issues they deal with. The author has done a great job pulling you in and holding your attention until you reach the end. If you love a good romantic comedy, grab your copy today, find a comfy reading spot and enjoy!

Ivy is a wedding planner, she has amazing patience and forgiveness in her because that job, in her world, is something else entirely. Add into the mix planning a wedding for the rich and spoiled, everything becomes amped up even more. Evan is supposed to get married but it all gets blown apart. Ivy, gives him a place to escape but her super tiny apartment is not big enough for Evan and his six five body and her. Evan moves on and gets back to his life but he is not willing to let Ivy go just yet. This book contains a great story, interesting and quirky characters, humour in abundance and steamy chemistry. Enjoy!

This was such an entertaining story! I was captivated from the beginning and enjoyed it all the way through. It was such a funny and adorable story, I had such a fun time reading it. So much drama, emotion, and humor – the perfect book to add to your summer reading list. Ivy and Evan were an adorable couple and they sure had great chemistry! I read the book with a smile on my face all the way till the end. I absolutely loved this book and am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Jacobs!

Spoiled and bratty Bridezillas – was not for me
Bridezillas And Billionaires by Alina Jacobs is a hot and steamy story but also a bit “too much” in some ways. I have always really liked/loved the book I have read by this author. I like her witty, light, romantic, fluffy storytelling and writing style. But this one was not my favorite as I found it to be long winded and just too much with the characters.
I still love the author so will continue to read her books but I just did not connect with this one. It happens as not all books by an author you love will work for a reader. But this is only my opinion and I know other readers will love this book.
I received an ARC of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
An over-the-top romantic comedy that will have you laughing until you can’t breathe but also swooning and blushing. The banter and back and forth was just highly entertaining.

Ivy is a wedding planner to the rich and entitled. She deals with bridezillas and entitled grooms on the regular.
Evan is a hedge fund manager who was supposed to be marrying the love of his life. Unfortunately, all of his future brides secrets are announced on his wedding day. Looking to escape the madness, he ducks into the wedding planner’s car as a way to escape. Thus Evan and Ivy meet.
This read as an enemies to lovers tale. I wasn’t really fond of Evan through half of the book. He just seemed kind of unsure of his direction. Not really worth the hassle of being bothered with. I liked Ivy’s character, though I had trouble in the beginning seeing her with Evan. The chemistry between the characters took a bit to really burn for me. This book had some funny moments in it, between the entitled brides and the wedding disasters that were ‘not their fault’
The pace of the book was pretty steady.

4.5 stars ***** Laugh out loud! Ivy is a high end wedding planner. Someone actually objected accusing the bridezilla of cheating with two men. Bullet dodged by poor Evan. Failure for her. He ends up hiding out at Ivy’s driving her crazy. Her next client is Evan’s bridezilla sister! Although they are attracted to each other, she can’t sleep with a client. Evan is really trying….. Bless her heart, I would have walked after the insane demands by the bride. And, a little bit of the Svensen brothers. I am never disappointed by an Alina book. They are always fun and entertaining!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
I had a great time with this book. The characters are well developed and engaging with a hot alpha and sassy woman. The chemistry is undeniable throughout the pages. The storyline has an easy making for an enjoyable time reading.

A state of boredom had me thinking that this book might be a fun, light read, let me tell you I have never read a book with so many over pretentious, rude, self-serving individuals and one spaghetti spine, somewhat over whelmed female lead.
Evan the groom finds out at the altar that his new bride to be has been cheating on him, of course the wedding is off. I am still trying to figure out how Ivy, the wedding planner gets blamed for his fiancé wanting to test drive a few penile units before getting married. I mean it’s almost non-stop how everyone has laid the blame at her doorstep.
Ivy and Evan spend so much of the book yelling at each other, heck it seems most people in this story are shrieking, yelling, threatening or whining. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and I had to force myself to finish it. There are many things like her cat that was supposed to be cute but just came away most of the time as more of a plot device than anything that I found amusing.
Ivy was a patsy and allowed so many people to just run over her. She would on occasion stand up for herself but that bluff was called and she would fold again. It was a very long drawn out painful read for me.

I love this story. It was entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. I spent a good portion of the book laughing. There were plenty of feels. The characters were definitely interesting and some of them were just so out there, I was surprised.

There were so many things that I loved about this story. Mrs. Russo and her friends cracked me up. All of Ivy’s friends were awesome and I need to know women like them right now! Evan and Ivy were awesome together even when they were fighting. Evan’s dad and Ivy’s mom should totally hook up and then disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Sebastian was a wonderful friend to Evan. Mika was a great sister. I loved Evan and Ivy’s happy ever after although I do wish there was another epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Ivy is a wedding planner and has a business with her girlfriends. Evan is a billionaire and about to be married. Well, that wedding sure is a hoot. Did it happen? Nope. A philandering father and a friend of the bride happened. With the bride. OMG. This book is hysterical, but all this author’s books usually are. A gorgeous billionaire. A beautiful wedding planner. A fat cat, literally. Corgis. Lots of food. Lots of hotness. And so many laughts. This book is a masterpiece and I absolutely, totally loved it!!
