A great story!

It has romance, intrigue, adventure, love and lost. I was hook from the start of the book. Lyle is left standing at the altar on his wedding day and decided to stop at the first bar he he came to.
I think the author developed the characters in this story with deeply complexed life’s. A Mafia Princess and World class surgeon has a little different twist on the story but very well developed. She has left her family making it on her own. A surgeon who saves lives everyday but don’t know how to really live. This story has plenty of entertainment and some lost.
The narrator does a fabulous job with the characters. I loved listening to this book.
I definitely recommend this book!

Intriguing sweet story

I really enjoyed these characters. Lyle and Katrina were both wounded and looking to escape something. I love how they came together and the progression of their relationship.

The storyline was original and well written. I enjoyed the light mafia backdrop. Overall it’s a really cute story and I really recommend the audio.

Logan McAllister was absolutely fantastic at narrating, I really enjoyed listening to him give life to these characters.

Very Awesome Read. But long

This was a great story. The characters were well written. The storyline and plot was great. I think if I would have read it on my Kindle instead of listening to it, the book wouldn't have seemed so long. I did thoroughly enjoy Lyle and Katrina's story. I can't wait to read the next one.
This book was given to me by request for my unbiased and voluntary review.

Excellent romance

I loved this audible. The narration is perfect with Logan McAllister.
The story was engaging and fraught with anxiety and great story line.
The two protagonists are seemingly diametrically opposites but the chemistry between them really works

Loved it!

Other than the fact that the cover image does not depict how Lyle was described in the book, this was an excellent listen! (Kudos to Elise Maron for not making this book too angtsy and "woe is me-ish.")

Both Lyle and Katrina are the walking wounded. They find each other and the progression of their relationship was incredibly sweet. (Thanks again to the author for no insta-love.) I must admit that I was hoping for the runaway bride to get hers but that quickly moved to the back of my mind as the Kyle/Katrina show took front and center. Loved it!

Logan McAllister can do no wrong! His silky tones just danced in my ears.

I'm not interested in going back and listening to book one. I am chomping at the bit to get to book three though!!!

I absolutely loved this book!💞

I love this story and especially the characters!! I’m so excited to read/listen to the next book in this series. The narration was wonderful!! Logan really has a way of feeling each character and bringing them to life.
I would recommend this book!

Interesting contemporary romance

You don't need to listen to any other books in this series to enjoy this book. I haven't read or listened to the first book, though I am interested in hearing more by this author and/or performer.

The story does stand alone and wrap up at the end, but I liked the supporting characters so much that I'm interested in hearing their stories. I have mixed feelings about the ex-fiance's story, but I think it's a creative twist so I will probably check it out.

I would recommend The Groom to contemporary romance fans. There's a little bit of danger thrown it, but the majority of the focus is on the relationship between Lyle and Katrina and how their opposite personalities complement each other and bring each of them outside their comfort zones. I like that the relationship develops over time and that the author incorporates a lot of different supporting characters and environments (hospital patients, bar patrons, fancy parties, a housekeeper, etc.).

Exceptional book

I loved the characters and that they had conflicts but overcame them in the end.

I enjoyed the novel

I have never really written much about anything that I have read of listened to because of dyslexia. So I will keep it short. The book fitted a wonderful mood I was in. It made things brighter for me.
