Publisher's Summary

Can a reformed player ever truly play by someone else's rules?

Will tying the knot tie down a free spirit? 

Tiel Desai never imagined herself getting married again, and before she can blink, she's swept up into the Walsh wedding whirlwind. If that chaos isn't enough, she's also busy winning over her future in-laws, grappling with a bumpy adjustment to her new job, and staying afloat when a string of disappointments hit.

Tiel & Sam part 2 with predictable HEA

Sam and Tiel starts out as more of the same as they deal with their own insecurities plus the ups and downs of married life. Their adjustments are more drawn out as the deal with a meddling helpful band of close friends and Sam’s meddling siblings. There is a some predictable and not uncommon heartbreak and the continued drama revolving around terrible parent issues which seems to heighten their own determination. Also by now the joke of younger brother Reilly flashing everyone is more gross than funny. This book needed to be majorly edited and combined with one of the other books and it ends up being more annoying than fun or sweet especially with Tiel’s moping and being unhappy with herself and her job. She ends up being responsible for another Patrick guilt trip when clearly her stress is at least half the problem.. Sam has become such a pleaser for being a former man whore, and he ends up in a complete role reversal as a candidate for husband of the year.

Sam & Tiel - Part 2

I just love Sam. The way he goes to bat for Tiel against her family, the way he soothes her when she has a melt down before their wedding because none of her family would be there to celebrate with her, how he chants to himself "I love my wife, I love my wife, I love my wife" as he endures that uncomfortable doctor's exam to make sure he was able to father children with her. I love the way he loves Tiel.

I feel like Christian Fox narrated Sam in a slightly higher voice in this book, though. It didn't feel like the same Sam from the previous books.

A great addition to Sam and Tiel's story!

Aww, I loved this addition! It had me feeling all the feels! Canterbary, Rivers, and Fox made this story wonderful!
