Dear Assbutt Douchenozzle Anders,You’re cordially invited to stop messing around with my emotions. You had your chance and like a coward, ran away when it got too difficult. Couldn’t you handle wanting your best friends, little sister? You didn’t want me bad enough?Like I said—coward.Well, guess what? You lost your chance and now I’m engaged to someone who isn’t you. Thank. God. But I’m going to … Thank. God. But I’m going to be the bigger person here—for the sake of my brother—and truly hope you can make the wedding, and join in on all of the festivities. I hope you don’t choke on the champagne. Or do. Whatever.
Sincerely,
The One Who Got Away Giselle

The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!

This book was really good. It was a feel good kind of book. Giselle Outlaw has had the hots for her brother’s best friend, Anders McKay for a little over a decade. Of course during that time she was away at an out of state college in California and never once came home to visit. The thing was Anders had made it clear since she was a teenager that he didn’t want to persue anything with her because he didn’t want to lose her brother as a best friend. So, Giselle goes to the club he owns to say a quiet goodbye not expecting to see him and as she is walking out the door he notices her and calls for her. She tells him she is leaving for Paris the next day on a one way ticket. He talks her into coming home with him. They have a night of passion. But Anders doesn’t do or say anything to make her feel like anything has changed and so early the next morning she sneaks out to catch her flight. Nine months later, she is back. What’s more she has a surprise…she is engaged to be married!
Marry Me is sweet, cute and fun with a little angst thrown in to spice things up.
Teen Giselle fell in love with her brother’s best friend Anders in Kiss Me. In Marry Me they do everything to deny those feelings.
“Love makes you do crazy things, and apparently I’m about ready to do one of those things.”
There is a bit of a triangle and lots of ‘will they/won’t they’ back and forth while hoping for the HEA we started wishing for in Kiss Me!
-4 Stars!-
This book is an engaging page turner that is action packed with adventure, intrigue, witty and colourful banter, good friends, and humour. The storyline is well-developed, emotionally deep, well written, and relatable. The ups and downs, fun, and excitement will keep you on the edge of your seat. It will take you on one wild ride and keep you engrossed until the end. The characters are strong and loveable; their chemistry is off the charts and the sex scenes are HOT! Definitely recommended.

I liked this book. It is very fast-paced. There’s no unnecessary drama and I like that when I read a book. It was really sweet and cute read.

Giselle and Ander’s have grown up together in fact he is her brothers best friend and for years they have been fighting their attraction to one another but they know that they can’t go there Bro code you know. Now Giselle is about to head to Paris and she comes to the bar to say goodbye to Ander’s but this time they can’t resist and they give into their love when he wakes the next morning she is gone. Months later Giselle returns but she is engaged to movie star Wren Will she actually marry Wren or will she end up with Anders You will need to read to see
Giselle has been in love with Anders since she was 17, but at 35 he still refuses to pick her over his friendship with her brother so she does the only thing she can think of and leaves. Anders always thought Giselle would wait for him to get his life together and make his move, but he is faced with the cold reality of what happens when you wait to long to claim the woman you love. Nine months after leaving Oregon and her family Giselle comes back home with a surprise in tow her fiance Wren. So will Anders admit defeat or will he fight for the woman he loves. Will Giselle marry Wren or will she give Anders one last chance to claim her for the world to see? This book was good I just had a hard time connecting with the characters I mean these two have loved each other for 18 years and never acted on it that just seemed too drawn out for me to believe and there was just something off about Wren so here’s hoping we get a good story about hom next because he was a mystery. I also didn’t care for being told about things that happened instead of reading it as it happened. The book was good it just needed more connection and for all this to happen alot faster than it did I mean come on 18 years people! Just too much in my opinion.

I was so excited to read this book, considering it’s partially based on one of my current favorite songs. I also love second-chance stories.
Upon first meeting Giselle (in a previous AB book), she was a “love to hate” character. That changed for me. I think she had her guard up to keep her heart from breaking pining over a man she loved but couldn’t have. I liked that she went out to try to find herself, and someone who openly showed her love. I felt for her and all the backlash she had received from people that didn’t know her, however.
I was rooting for Giselle and Anders, but he did kind of come off as a little infuriating. It’s nice when the light finally goes off, but I also felt for the 3rd party in the book. I’m glad that he wasn’t made out to be a jerk. Sometimes timing isn’t right…that’s why there are second-chance romance stories.
Marry Me by Alexandria Bishop is a good read. intriguing,interesting,fun and sexy.. good storyline,interesting characters with great chemistry. well done!

Simple but very well written
I loved this romance which although simple is very moving, especially the first part in which Anders is desperate for what is happening. I loved this character. On the other hand, the character of Gisele annoyed me by her decisions during this first part.
One of the interesting things beyond romance is the role of the media in the relationships between celebrities, the lies that are being conveyed to them and the haters that are raging.
Gisele decides to leave her city to get away from her love of youth, Anders, who does not seem to want to try and when he does, she goes to Paris to return almost a year later, engaged to a Hollywood star, while Anders was waiting for her to tell her he loved her. However, he decides not to give up and will try to convince her not to get married.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
This was unputdownable. I floved it.
The characters were so funny! I binged this one in one sitting. Another great release from Alexandria Bishop.
While I liked this Second Chance Romance between Giselle and Anders, her brother’s best friend, I couldn’t really get into their romance because of the awful way Giselle treated Wren.
I kind of hated that she brought him into her life, fell in love, promised him forever, and then broke his heart because she still loved Anders.
Wren was decent and sincere, willing to accept Giselle even when he started to realize the truth, he still loved her.
I liked Anders and his willingness to do whatever it took to keep Giselle as his. I just had a hard time seeing Giselle as anything more than selfish.

Good book! I will be watching for more books by this author!!
I really do love a good second chance at love romance. And what can be more second chance than an eighteen year unrequited love, finally deciding to move on and then have the very man you have been in love with all that time decide to finally make his move the night before you jet off for Paris. Of course he is still fighting his feelings and does not actually commit himself so you decide to make that trip and while you are in Paris meet someone who is willing to make that very commitment. It does not hurt that he is a Hollywood movie star, handsome and head over heels for you. So you return home a year later engaged to be married and so very sure you are going to live happily ever after. Nothing can possibly change your mind…right??
And that is the beginning of the story for Giselle, Anders and Wren. The middle and the end make for a very enjoyable book. I will not be giving out any spoilers but your heart will break a little bit for one of these main characters.

This is my first book from this author and it was ok read for me. Anders didn’t want to admit his feelings for Giselle because she was younger than him and his best friend’s little sister. When they finally act on it, she goes to Paris the next day and comes back months later engaged and that is where the story fell a little flat for me. I am not a big fan of a love triangles. Anders and Giselle do get a HEA and from how it ends Wren may get a story. I may read that unless he gets involved into another love triangle.

This is the story of Anders and Giselle. It was a quick fun read that I have been waiting for and I loved this book. Giselle and Anders have been trying to fight their feelings for each other for years. Then they have one night together, before Giselle sneaks out and goes to Paris for months. She comes back engaged to a movie star. Anders is heartbroken and feels he’s lost his chance. This story is full of humor, sadness and two hot AF alpha males.
Is it just a childhood fantasy for Giselle to be with Anders? Is Wren the right guy for her? This book is a must read if you enjoy Best-Friend’s-Sister, Brother’s-Best-Friend or Friends-to Lovers books.
This was the second book I’ve read by Alexandria Bishop.
The first one was “Kiss Me” which you need to read before these one so, you could understand how it all started between Griselle and Andres (you can get book for free).
“Marry Me” is a sweet and very funny story about two friends who secretly in love with each other, but they are afraid of say it aloud.
If you love tropes: brother’s-best-friend, best-friend’s-sister and friends-to-lovers, this book is perfect for you .
