Dressing up as a bride once a week is all fun and games until you come face to face with your ex.Penny Blake loves her job with Enchanted Bridal. She gets to model wedding gowns and help brides plan for their big day. And yet…she’s wanting a little more. Besides wishing for her own happily ever after, she has big dreams of making her own contribution to the business in the form of her own glam … own glam squad. Her bosses all think it’s a great idea, but right now she’s needed in other ways – like helping out with the groomsmen.
Spencer Buchanan was dreading having to help his sister plan her big day—just the thought of all the fittings and tastings he would have to endure was enough to send him running. But when he walks into the bridal shop and comes face to face with the girl who got away not once but three times, running is the furthest thing from his mind. Moving back home hadn’t really been part of his plan, but with Penny back in his life, the idea has never seemed more attractive. And this, he’s determined to make sure he doesn’t get away.
Somewhere along the way—between all the tux fittings and wedding planning—old feelings creep back up until it becomes clear just who will next be needing the help of a glam squad and a few groomsmen.

Samantha Chase has delivered another wonderful romance with Glam Squad and Groomsmen, the fourth book in her Enchanted Bridal series. Samantha Chase has once again provided her readers with amazing characters. I love that all the characters in Glam Squad and Groomsmen feel like best friends! Who doesn’t love hot sexy men, strong, passionate females, and loving friends, who always support one another? Samantha Chase continues to deliver all that and so much more. I really enjoyed Glam Squad and Groomsmen and am looking forward to reading the remaining books in the Enchanted Bridal series. I have read other books by Samantha Chase and have always enjoyed her wonderfully written love stories. Samantha Chase has once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. Glam Squad and Groomsmen did not disappoint, I could not put it down and loved every page. One of my favorite parts is how Samantha Chase incorporated the title of the book into the love story. I enjoy how Samantha Chase writes from the perspective of the main characters. That way you get to know what is going on in each of their minds. Glam Squad and Groomsmen is a wonderful second (or third, or fourth) chance at first love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud and the bittersweet moments that cause me to sigh, say aww to myself with tears filling my eyes. Glam Squad and Groomsmen be filled with such moments, and with so much more. It is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a Samantha Chase love story, especially the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Glam Squad and Groomsmen is the story of Penny Blake, Hailey’s assistant at Enchanted Bridal, and Spencer Buchanan, architectural engineer, brother to Penny’s childhood friend, Eva and Penny’s first love. Penny spots Eva and Spencer at one of the Enchanted Bridal Friday night fashion shows. Eva is getting married and dragged Spencer along with her. Penny and Spencer have tried to have a relationship in the past, but Spencer has always ended things with her. As Spencer is forced to help Eva with her wedding plans, and is spending more time with Penny, they begin spending more time together and things change between them. Is Penny willing to risk her heart once again on Spencer? I love when both Penny and Spencer get real with their true feelings for one another and open up to each other during an emotionally charged conversation. I love how Penny reveals her dream of opening her own Glam Squad salon, and the disappointment when the bank does not approve her loan. I love that Penny and Spencer experienced some challenges in their relationship, showed their vulnerable side and how they changed because of their love for one another. I love the surprise plot twists that changes everything for Penny and Spencer and they finally make it back together. I loved the ending of the story, and everything that Spencer did to make Penny’s dreams come true. My favorite part was the epilogue and how it goes above and beyond the normal happily ever after. I especially love the proposal. I also really enjoyed catching up with the characters in the Enchanted Bridal series, it felt like getting together with close friends. Glam Squad and Groomsmen contains all the things that I have come to love most in a Samantha Chace story, romance, great characters and setting, bittersweet moments and the plot twist that ties it all together. Amazing story. I could not put it down.
This book was fun to read.
It was hard to like either of these characters. I have no idea what Penny saw in Spencer, he was hard to like, and she was to wishy washy. She was portrayed as being independent. She was trying to start up a business and wouldn’t take money from her friends because of said independence or ask her parents for a loan, but then she was quick to give the whole thing up until a man came and rescued her dreams. I thought that was a weird message to send.
Nice light read!
The plotline was a little thin. Not enough conflict. The characters seemed stuck in late adolescence/early adulthood even though they were older.
Excellent romantic
Beach ready!
Wonderful story! A quick relaxing afternoon read with great characters.
Sweet story and a happy ever after ending.
Not much plot, quit part way through
Kept you guessing and I didn’t want to stop reading.
03/02/2021 If you want a light-hearted story with a touch of angst, read “Glam Squad & Groomsmen” (nook). Penny and Spencer fell in “love” when they were six (6) and eight (8) (pulls the heart strings, doesn’t it?). Ms. Chase’s words flow as she reveals their mistrust and, finally, deep love. An enjoyable HEA.
Too much sex. Grad school friends renrw relationship.
Okay, so seriously, this book was all kinds of happy 🙂
So Penny and Spencer just can’t seem to get it right. They tried more than once but it just doesn’t stick, until it does …. I loved this fourth or was it third (lol) chance to get it right romance journey!
This time around Spence comes in contact with Penny while helping his sister plan her wedding … I mean how much more kismet do you want it to be?! Amirite? Love is in the air people and Spencer and Penny have sparkling chemistry to go with it!
This book is fun and super sweet and a just plain happy read all around. It checks off all the boxes a romance journey should have, imo. You will laugh and swoon and maybe even feel a little pang here and there but best of all, you won’t want their story to end. It’s a good one people … go forth and check it out for yourselves! Solid 4.5 Star rating!
This is the first book I have read from this author and I am glad I did!
Glam Squad & Groomsmen is a quick, fast paced read that is part of the Enchanted Bridal Series, but can be read as a standalone.
This is the story of Penny and Spencer. They have know each other forever and been on and off in a relationship forever too.
Because of misunderstandings and hurtful words of youth, Penny and Spencer had drifted apart but fate brought them back together is a fun and cute way!
The characters are fantastic and the world that Samantha creates is fabulous, steamy and real.
I have added the other books in this series to my TBR list, I want to know everyone in the Enchanted Bridal world!
Looking for a fabulously sweet, steamy, second chance romance book? Well The Glam Squad & Groomsmen, the fourth book in Samantha Chase’s Enchanted Bridal series has all of this and so, so much MORE!!! Starting with a third, yes THIRD chance at love. Penny and Spencer were meant for each other, unfortunately Spenser for the longest time could not get his head our of his a…. (oops, PG, PG, PG) butt long enough to see that. It took losing Penny to see the errors of his stupid ways before he figured out she was his future. And man, he had to work for it. I absolutely loved watching circling each other, one pushing the other pulling back.
I am not going to give anything away, sorry ladies. I will say, I could not put this book down. All of the character in this wonderful series are very lovable and Spencer and Penny are no exception.
I LOVE this series. Each and every book is this series was outstanding. Kudos, Ms. Chase on another winner! I was gifted with a copy of this book for my reading enjoyment via NetGalley thru the author and publisher Sourcebooks for which I am eternally grateful. This was a phenomenal book.
Thank you for reading my review. Now, what are you waiting for, go hit that one click button. You know you want to
This is Penny and Spencer’s story. Spencer and Penny grew up together and Penny has ALWAYS been in love with him. Spencer leaves to make his mark on the business world leaving Penny behind. Penny does what she loves working with the bride’s and she has innovative ideas for the business. It is while helping the groom’s that Spencer comes back into her life and they both realize how much they still care for one another. Can Spencer convince Penny to give him another chance? Will fate and Destiny have it’s way with them? No one writes these LOVE stories with heart better than Ms. Chase. You really feel like you are going through this with the characters. I definitely recommend this book! I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Favorite Quotes:
She was six, he was eight and Eva had conned him into being the groom for their pretend wedding game. And ever since then, she’d been hooked. On Spencer, not playing dress up.
“You know… while that was a cardio workout, I don’t think it can count as a good substitution for my class… But if we’re going to compete with Zumba, then we’d need to try… harder…”And hours later, Penny was fairly certain they had done the equivalent of two Zumba classes.
I seriously think we need to just come to grips with the fact that this is our thing… We talk a good game about being the type of people who enjoy going out to fancy restaurants, but at the end of the day, there is just something about being comfortable on the couch and eating some lo mein.
My Review:
Another sweet second-chance romance from Samantha Chase, I just adore her! I have enjoyed all the books in this series, but who wouldn’t? The book was short, sweet, and easy to follow. The writing was entertaining, the characters were lovable, and the storyline was well balanced with steam, humor, and quiet tension. Sigh, I have missed this group.
Penny Blake is an assistant at Enchanted Bridal. She pretty much does everything she can to help out the business including modeling bridal gowns. She never expected to be modeling one when her ex Spencer Buchanan walks in .
Spencer would like to reconnect with Penny but she’s been left behind by him already and knows he’s only in town for a short period of time. It doesn’t take long for them to rekindle the flames. For them to have a future one of them has to relocate. That could be their breaking point.
I love how Angie, Hailey, Becca, Ella give Penny’s thoughts and ideas of their business into consideration. They treat her like she is an equal. What a great bunch of women!
Spencer is so swoon worthy when he makes Penny’s dream become reality. Such a great guy!
This is a great second (or third) chance at romance.
Samantha has a way of writing that makes you feel like you’re really connecting with the characters in the book. Love that!
5 STARS FOR GLAM SQUAD & GROOMSMEN!! OMG, Samantha Chase is the Queen of romance books, she always writes phenomenal page turning stories. I loved learning Penny and Spencer’s story and what makes it better is they have history. This series has been such a fun, sweet, sexy and beautiful family of friends series, just like this book. Samantha Chase is a one click for me, always a fantastic read. If you haven’t read this series I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book from publisher via NetGalley.
