Publisher's summary

Lights, camera, action! Join the cast and crew of reality TV show Whose Bride Is She Anyway? for a hilariously funny tale that will keep you listening. The stage is set, the players are in place, and the cameras are rolling as an ex-cheerleader and two ex-geeks compete for love, marriage, and money...a lot of money!

USA Today best-selling romantic comedy author Dakota Cassidy's laugh-out-loud, tropical island battle Whose Bride Is She Anyway? is a romantic comedy you'll love.

Whose Bride Is She Anyway? is the most popular reality show on TV, featuring a bride, 20 potential hunk-o-licious grooms, a jury, and a whole lot of cash at the end of the matrimonial aisle.

The rules? Spend a month on a tropical island (as if you didn't know that) and let a jury of your peers and one high school friend choose your man for life. If you can manage to stay married for a year you get the booty. A million bucks. Tara Douglas doesn't care about the booty. Once taunted and humiliated for being an overweight geek, Tara is now a svelte 30-something looking for revenge, and it ain't as the bride. The bride is Kelsey Little, ex-Evanston High cheerleader and all-round bitch. Kelsey was responsible for Tara's ultimate humiliation in high school. August Guthrie, a former dork himself, wants to win the woman he thought was his high school wet dream. What could go wrong? A few little things like sabotage, treachery, deceit, clandestine meetings, and an airtight contract that could leave you bankrupt with the paparazzi breathing down your neck for an eternity, that's what! This contemporary romantic comedy contains adult language and situations, and is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

MEEEH...

I don't like this audiblook. I feel like it was bored, you know... the story was bored and the characters were boring too...

More erotica than romantic comedy

I adore Dakota Cassidy's accidental series. It's everything. I prefer my light stories with few graphic sex scenes, if any. This story was somewhat cute, although it didn't come close to the accidentals but it was almost to much to listen to with constant long, graphic sex scenes. If you like erotica, you will like this.

not so funny

I like Dakota's writing, and typically find it funny. Maybe next time I will get it.

Warning: Beware body negativity

Not a body positive book for sure. Lots of jokes at the expense of heavier people, even though the main character used to carry more weight herself. Main character definitely has body issues, but I guess we're supposed to ignore it cause she's hot now, everything is ok! *says sarcastically*

I still love Dakota Cassidy for her lighthearted and original plots, but am disappointed by this revelation. I just want to warn people about the nature of this book for those that may feel triggered.

One dimensional characters

The premise is good however the heroine is a bit annoying. As a former fat girl, you would think she would be less into fat shaming. No redeeming qualities for the bad bitch from school. I expected a bit more humor and plot.

I think the narrator is best I have heard so far!

The narrator of this story is awesome. I hope to listen to more books she narrates. I hope she finds her way to narrating authors like
Rachel Gibson etc. She brings the characters to life. That being said the story was a fun read.

Fun & Sexy

Whose Bride Is She Anyway? is the most popular reality show on TV, featuring a bride, twenty potential hunk 'o licious grooms, a jury, and a whole lot of cash at the end of the matrimonial aisle. The rules? Spend a month on a tropical island (as if you didn't know that) and let a jury of your peers and one high school friend choose your man for life. If you can manage to stay married for a year¬ you get the booty. A million bucks. Tara Douglas doesn't care about the booty. Once taunted and humiliated for being an overweight geek, Tara is now a svelte thirty-something looking for revenge and it ain't as the bride. The bride is Kelsey Little, ex Evanston High cheerleader and all 'round bitch. Kelsey was responsible for Tara's ultimate humiliation in high school. Tara wants to be picked to become jury foreman and head up the groom-picking task force, choosing a groom that will leave Kelsey cryin' in her Miss Clairol. Her quest for revenge takes an unexpected course when she meets August Guthrie, a contestant on the show. August is the forbidden fruit¬--jury members aren't supposed to dip their hand in the hunk jar and Tara could be caught elbow deep, not only in August Guthrie heaven, but in the guilt she begins to feel for ever wanting petty revenge. August, a former dork himself, came to Whose Bride Is She Anyway? to win the woman he thought was his high school wet dream. He wants to prove to Kelsey that he's no longer just the A he helped her get in English and guess what? August ain't a geek anymore either. Then he meets Tara Douglas and all of a sudden, the ex pom-pom queen of August's lusty, adolescent dreams becomes a big, fat, blonde nightmare. Tara and August share chemistry, hell they have biology and trigonometry too, and it's a force that can't be denied, unless little things like sabotage, treachery, deceit, clandestine meetings and an airtight contract that could leave you bankrupt with the paparazzi breathing down your neck for an eternity are a problem?

I found this book to be interesting and a little emotional. There is a lot of sex scenes and fun. What an ideal for a TV show!

love it

A lovely story full of mischeff an adventure love and a lot of funny amazing story and must read

Too whiny

The story has a somewhat silly premise but not too far fetched in today's reality TV world, which made it sound like it would be a funny book. However, the author failed to make it funny. i could only listen to the first 3 hours before giving up. 3 hours of lsitening to the main character whine about the same thing over and over. No character development; very little plot development.
The narrator was Ok. She did convey the whine of the main character.

I expected more

The storyline was weak. Instead of the gratuitous sex scenes, I'd have liked to have heard more about the happenings on the island. The Tara and August situation didn't really make sense to me (they're supposed to be adults, but they still acted like high-school aged kids), and the body negativity was a bit much.

While I was tempted to put the book down, I WAS interested in the plot. So, instead of giving up, I fast forwarded through entire chapters (the sex scenes) to get to what little story there was and find out what ultimately happened on the island.
