The New York Times and USA Today bestselling first book in The Wedding Pact series by Denise Grover Swank.
Megan Vandemeer meant to tell her parents about her broken engagement, but a month and a half later she finds herself boarding a plane home to her wedding. Having stretched avoidance to its limits, it’s time to come clean–a terrifying prospect since her mother is sure to blame her rather … her rather than her cheating, emotionally frigid ex. A couple of drinks and two Dramamine later, Megan finds herself spilling her sob story to the tall, dark, and handsome stranger in the seat next to her.
With only one week left to save his business, Josh McMillan boards a plane to Kansas City in a last-ditch effort, leaving the details to chance. An unexpected answer is delivered in the form of the beautiful brunette beside him. Though she’s completely loopy, her honesty, openness, and humor charm him. So when she passes out before landing, he helps her off the plane–a good deed that leads to a colossal misunderstanding. Her parents assume he’s her fiancé. In a twist of fate, the mix-up might help Josh save his business, so he plays along, figuring he can help Megan too. All he has to do is stage a public break up convincing enough to appease her mother.
Josh is only supposed to be a substitute groom, but the more time he and Megan spend together, the more their pretend engagement starts to feel real…and the less they want to break it off. Can a relationship that began as a farce turn into happily ever after?

This was my first book by Denise and it is definitely not the last! I am hooked on her characters now!
A great, fun read!!!
Attention keeper.. funny.. hard to put down
Storyline was slow, slow, and did I mention slow? Very predictable. The same information was repeated over and over again. Supporting characters were so one-dimensional, they became caricatures: the society-obsessed mother of the bride, the snarling, suspicious brother of the bride, the mean-spirited, also suspicious, best friend of the bride. I …

I stumbled on this book by accident, but boy am I happy that I did. This book was beautiful. I am an AVID romance novel reader and I will say that it has been a long time since a romance novel has moved me this much.
I laughed until my stomach ached and I cried at certain points. I yelled at the characters and rooted for them in other moments. …
As I read The Substitute from The Wedding Pact series, I found that I enjoyed the many characters that Denise used to develop a plot filled with intrigue and love. Megan Vandemeer is surrounded with her lifelong friends Blair and Libby, a free spirited grandmother, an over protective brother and an uptight mother. They add to the stress of coming …
I loved this from the very first second of the meet cute. Some of it was cliche but I didn’t mind suspending reality for this sweet little book.
