This yummy tale of M..istakes is just what the wedding planner should have ordered! Take It Off the Menu is a definite departure from the enemies to lovers binge I had been on. Though if you want to hate someone, Scotty fits the bill perfectly!
Christina Hovland has snared my interest. Take It Off the Menu was my kind of fun. I am a firm believer in doing things at your own pace. Boy do Marlee and Eli have their own pace! I had previously added Going Down on One Knee to my TBR because it looked fun. Fast forward to seeing TAke It Off and I couldn't resist.
Fun, flirty, and just the right amount of ridiculous, Take It Off the MEnu is the perfect treat or pick me up for any reader. Jilted Bride and all! I assume that those that have followed the series from the beginning enjoyed the epic mess Marlee caused for their happy lives. I need to go back and get more Babushka.
So if you enjoy, badly behaved pups with hilariously appropriate names, getting caught in compromising situations (no not that!). If you have a sense of humor and a healthy respect for happily ever afters...
Take It Off the Menu should definitely be on you list.

A delicious treat that will have you asking for seconds! Sweet, sexy, and so full of fun. Take It Off the Menu is filled with humor, surprises and fantastic characters. Lothario and Babushka are definitely scene-stealers that will make you laugh-out-loud. A perfect read if you’re looking for a feel-good friends-to-lovers rom-com to smile and swoon over. Eli and Marlee’s story is a great addition to the Mile High Matched series whether you’ve read them all or not, but you’ll surely want to – once you read one, you’ll want to dive back in for more fun!

This book was another lighthearted addition to Mile High Matched.
Eli and Marlee did not anticipate an accidental marriage, after she was dumped by her fiance. They interacted with such ease. It was interesting the way they just seemed to be together so comfortably.
Eli was protective of all of Sadie's (his sister) friends, but there was that underlying attraction to Marlee that I think he didn't want to acknowledge. Eli brought out his sexy side with Marlee.
I liked both Eli and Marlee's characters. They were such opposites, but complimented each other. Eli was a good guy. Kind, generous, always taking care of everyone. Marlee had such a fun personality. Marlee also learned who she could truly count on as friends. With Babushka added into the mix, this book couldn't help but have a series of funny moments.
This was a fast paced, humorous, sexy, romantic comedy. I think all of the couples are matched now. Dean & Claire, Brek & Velma, Jase & Heather, and now Eli & Marlee. Will the series end, or will Sadie end up with a story?

Every book in this series so far has been beyond amazing, and Eli’s story is just as great. I loved everything about this book I loved Marlee and her personality, attitude, strength, and heart. She was a caring girl who did come from money but she never really let that define her and she loved her friends deeply. This group of friends that Marlee had included Eli’s sister Sadie and they all had me laughing so hard and poor Eli was always there to take care of them and make sure they didn’t lend up in trouble. As usual a trip to Vegas doesn’t actually stay in Vegas so this is the start of things for Eli and Marlee. Eli was such a beautiful person inside and out he helped everyone around him, he would give anyone the shirt off his back I’d they needed it yet he pushed people away in fear of having to take care of them and he didn't realize he was already doing that because he cared about his family and friends. These two together were insanely perfect because they balanced each other, Marlee being outgoing and Eli being kind of closed up. I also loved how we get to see the other characters from the previous books and my favorite as always is when the guys get together and hang up on the Hero at the time to show them they are being an idiot and need to get their head out of the sand

Take It Off the Menu is the third book in Christina Hovland's Mile High Matched series. Each book in the series can be read as a stand alone but features characters from other books.
This whole series has been hilarious and Take It Off the Menu is no exception. There were quite a few laugh out loud moments and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Marlee is a rich socialite who just got dumped by her fiance. Eli is Marlee's best friend's brother and the owner of a catering company. After Marlee's breakup Eli joins her and her best friends in Vegas and somehow they end up married. What follows is a touching, hilarious story about two people trying to find themselves as their worlds change.
I loved this book and honestly loved all of the characters (Marlee's ex excluded). If you haven't read this series you are missing out. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
