Mister Bridesmaid

De: Ivy Oliver

Narrado por: Stephen Dexter, Noah Michael Levine

I haven't seen him in six years...now we're married.

When my best friend asked me to serve as her Man of Honor, of course I said yes. A trip to Vegas for the week before her wedding and then on to the Florida Keys for the nuptials was an added bonus. The icing on the cake was her brother, Colt.

I didn't expect anything to happen. He's almost 10 years older, aloof, mysterious, and devastatingly handsome. All the time I spent fantasizing about his powerful muscles, piercing eyes, hungry mouth, and grasping hands leave me tongue-tied and stammering every time I see him. I can't hold a conversation with him without picturing my hands running down his taut stomach to that perfect muscular V to grab at his belt buckle.

Then one night the music was pulsing, the beat was pounding, and the next thing I know I'm in bed with my dream crush for a wild night of consequence-free pleasure.... Almost. There's just that little problem of a drunken ceremony at an all-night wedding chapel just off the Strip and what happens after we say "I do"....

Contains mature themes.

Good narration

This was a great fast listen, it kept my attention and wasn’t hard to follow while traveling.

3 STAR average, grab if free

I actually only clicked on this play because of search for all things narrated b Stephen Dexter after his Chandler Moon charaxter in the ICECATS SERIES. I didn't even read the summary or any reviews.
Got a surprise when I realized it was a MM trope......omg....so many bantering one line zingers had me laughing. 😃 I recognized the signs/symptoms of military PTSD. Too many veterans suffer in silence and self-medicate. The author addressed these with dignity and grace. The generational wealth "better-than-thou" superiority was a reminder that wealth doesn't guarantee happiness, confidence, or self-worth.
First time with this author.
Will definitely look into othe stories.

My favorite character was Colton.
Sex spice was delicious 🌶🌶

Narrators

Sorry to say tge story was okay but the narrator doing the even chapter was not okay to me, I prefred for the other narragor yo read everything.

Heartwarming

I liked the storyline and the characters! Enough angst to keep it exciting and the narrator brought it home!

A story of love with boisterous humor.

I truly enjoyed this book it was comedic romance with a plot of hate that could not keep the main characters or supporting characters down. It was full of love and support but the best part was the comedic concept included throughout. Well written 👏

Unlikable Lead Character

I was all in but the the lead turned selfish out of know where & I dropped it

Surprised

I was really surprised with this one. A lot happened for it to be a smaller book. I enjoyed it. I laughed out loud people look at you strange when you randomly laugh.

Very Entertaining Story

I really enjoyed listening to this story, Colton and Julian were really great together. I especially enjoyed the beginning of this, and how they ended up getting married. Right after though it dipped a bit, Julian’s personality seemed to change completely there for a few chapters and he became really pushy which was a bit jarring, and is why I can’t give the story a 5. His personality righted back to more normal after a while but I have to admit it threw me, and if I was Colt I would have ended up feeling rather uncomfortable. I have to say too I still wonder about Karen’s motivations in some of this too, especially when she was getting rid of Julian because of her cousin. That kind of made me sideeye their friendship a bit, and it was never revisited after same said cousin pulled a stunt. The dad in this story was horrible but a good foe for the story. I think I did go into this expecting a little more, there were certain times it seemed to drag a bit but I will say the passion and banter between the characters was a real highlight. Overall I did like it though and felt it was worth the listen.

Colt

Useless and Childish Best friend who wants a best friend that's not honest, but than again she's a Childish whiney sister who needs to grow up who blames her brother for her parents negligent, I like the storyline but not the characters themselves well Colt was the only one I actually liked

Good narration. Good story.

If you are looking for a M/M romance with a drunken Vegas wedding trope and charming characters, this will be a good read/listen. If you are looking for a well-researched story with realistic characterizations, you might want to try another story. Modern-day fighter pilots have a bachelor's degree that is usually in engineering. They do not whine about not having any skills when they leave the military. Just no. It was only one inaccurate sentence, but I couldn't unhear it, and it bothered me for the rest of the book, even when the statement was partially retracted by the character. I might be a bit sensitive about the subject because I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I grew up...

I appreciated the story for what it was, and the narration was entertaining.
