This was a fun story, but the ending was a bit too cliffhanger-y for my liking. If all parts of the series take place during the same 10 days, it would make more sense to me to wrap them all into one omnibus instead of separate books.
That being said, I liked the characters, the reality TV show setting provides a fun twist, and I’d really like to see more questions answered (which will hopefully happen in the following books).
I would say this was a 3.5 to 4 star clean romance. The storyline was fun, and the characters were engaging and it ended in a HEA of sorts (has a feeling of a quick loose end tie up for the main characters)-more of a to be continues in the next book with other main characters. Sierra is going to her sister’s wedding, a reality TV show based on the prep before the wedding, which sounds like fun and a way to get her face out there since she’s an actress hoping for a break. But what should have been a fun time helping her sister win her wedding turns out quite different. Fox doesn’t want to be in the limelight, he had his chance years ago but lost it after a hard break up with his girlfriend, but for his best friend he’s willing to do anything to help out even putting up with a bratty want to be star of the bride’s little sister.. Fox and Sierra mix as well as oil and water, even with the underlying attraction. Misunderstandings, cameras everywhere and wedding hi-jinks makes this a fun read. I found that there are many storylines were hinted at but not answered/addressed fully, maybe in the next book? In the end it was a good book but it left me wanting to know more

Fox and Sienna have a complex relationship, to be sure. But the way the book is written, you get to know them so well as individuals, and you see their individual personalities and struggles as well as see them evolve from two people existing side-by-side to two people existing together. You also see their relationships with Wade and Reagan, and those relationships are really well-developed rather than just an aside in the book, as so many other authors do.
Can’t wait to read more in this series. Fox and Sienna get their HEA in this book, but there is a bit of a cliffhanger as we move onto the next couple. So this is really self-contained. A great example of chick-lit/clean romcom at it’s finest.
What a cute story, Sienna comes to help her sister Audrey compete on a reality show where she will be married to her sweetheart Eli and hopefully find some luck in getting noticed by other producers to launch her acting career that has been stagnant. She never planned to fall in love. The interactions between Sierra and Fox, the best man are delightful. The fears from each of their past almost holds them up but fortunately they each find a way to be honest and brave enough to make sure the other knows how they feel. I laughed and cried along with Sierra. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to read this book and I am starting the next book right now and you should too
This book is the start of the series Wedding Games. Sienna, sister of the bride, and is a bratty struggling actress, while Fox, best-man, boat mechanic, with a secret past who has been burned big time are chosen as team leads in the games. They don’t like each other but secretly find each other attractive. Can they overcome their competitiveness and dislike? Who will win the games?
These two authors have written quite a few books I’ve absolutely loved and I’m happy to say I can add The Bridesmaid and the Jerk to this list. This book is the first book in the Wedding Games series and after reading it in one sitting, it left me wanting more.
Sienna is trying her hardest to make a career as an actress and it hasn’t worked that well. She’s going to be on TV, because her sister is participating in a reality show for her sister’s wedding. Even though Sienna knows it’s going to be a disaster, she knows her sister wants this and who knows if she’ll be able to impress a producer along the way.
Fox is the groom’s best friend and the best man. Even though the last thing he wants is to be in the spotlights once again, he’ll do this to make his best friend happy. The spotlights didn’t treat Fox well, so this is the last thing he wants to do!
The Bridesmaid and the Jerk is the perfect combination of romance, comedy, drama and maybe even finding yourself along the way. Fox and Sienna do not like each other at all and enemies to lovers is my favorite trope. Add a producer who sees this and wants to play with it and you get a lot of funny moments. The different challenges leading up to the wedding are really funny and I have to say that Wedding Games is a reality show I would just have to sit and watch.
Even though Fox and Sienna aren’t the couple getting married, I loved reading how they interacted with each other. They both have a certain impression about the other and it’s clear that they’re both very wrong. As they slowly start to get to know each other, things get interesting. I loved that the authors gave these characters more of a story than just the romance and reality show. Fox and Sienna both have things to figure out and the show and their “fighting” definitely helps them along the way. I also really appreciated that this romance didn’t feel like insta-love. Yes, they’re attracted to each other, but everything leading up to them felt natural.
On top of Fox and Sienna, the other characters were a lot of fun! I need to know more about them all and I hope they all get their own story. And I have to say, books like this can be pretty predictable, but these authors wrote an ending I did NOT see coming! I need the sequel now! The Bridesmaid and the Jerk is the perfect start to a new series and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
Okay, I’m a sucker for hate-to-love plots and lots of banter…andddd I absolutely LOVE books/movies about celebrities, TV shows, etc. Need I say more?
Well, I’m going to.
I loved the contrast between Fox and Sienna. I loved seeing the different real-life, individual struggles. I loved the “boys vs. girls” vibe. I loved the sisters’ relationship, Reagan included. I also LOVED Wade.
Speaking of Wade, the side characters in this book were great! They left me wanting to see more and more of them, which is a STRONG possibility considering the book is part of a series…
And on that note, despite Fox and Sienna getting their HEA, the book does end with a cliffhanger feel…but that’s only to set the scene for the next book(s), understandably.
As far as content goes: CLEAN, peeps!!! Fox’s past might be a sensitive topic for some, however, I was fine with reading about it.
