Happy Pub Day! I was so excited to be chosen to be on the ARC team for this book. I love Meghan's writing and knew this was not going to disappoint.
Synopsis:
Have you ever heard of a man-in-waiting?
Yeah, neither has my best friend's soon-to-be monster-in-law. Ooo, sorry, I meant mother-in-law. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets.
With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands.
The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light.
She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.
And before I know what's happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm in love with my best friend. Not just in love, but infatuated.
No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization.
Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia's wedding.
Not her angry fiancé who thinks I'm growing too close.
And not the looming deadline of her nuptials.
Which means, there's only one thing left for me to do. Prove to Lia I'm the one she should be with instead. But with the pressure of her engagement, the stress from her soon-to-be mother-in-law, and the breath-stealing nerves running through me, I'm finding it a lot harder to claim the girl than I would like to admit.
Say a little prayer for me . . .
My review:⠀⠀
I’m officially convinced Meghan Quinn can do no wrong! The humor, the spice, the cameos from characters from other books, the men!
Full disclosure, I haven’t read Huxley’s or JP’s books yet, but I’m not sure they’ll be able to top Breaker Cane. He’s loyal, passionate, nerdy, and possessive in all the right ways. Hot nerd, yes please! 🥵
“I’m spoiling you because I want to, because I get to, and because you deserve nothing but the best, Lia.”
This is the perfect friends-to-lovers story! Lia and Breaker meet in college and bond over all things board games. Ten years later, they’re still best friends and neighbors. Lia is engaged to Brian whose mother is turning out to be a worse Monster-in-law during wedding planning than she already was before the engagement. Lia enlists Breaker as her man-of-honor and to be her bodyguard and buffer during the planning. Breaker doesn’t expect to have his feelings flipped upside down while doing his wedding duties.

If you’re at all a fan of My Best Friend’s Wedding and Meghan Quinn’s books, you’ll love this one. Excuse me while I run to go start reading Huxley’s and JP’s stories…
