Tessa Bailey and her dangerously sexy stories strikes again. Baiting The Maid Of Honor, hooks you right away, is filled with so much sexiness it explodes in the pages, and there is nothing to be bored with in this fast-paced novella!
Living through what Julie has and having a family who expects so much of her, I'm not sure I would quite be able to keep my cool and I commend her for it, but also scold. I say that because no one should ever try to be anyone other than who they want to be and it made me so happy to see Reed come in and break down all her walls.
Firstly, the name Reed is just so...UNF. Yes, there is no other word because I adore that sexy name. With Reed, I loved watching his controlling, keep-everyone-away attitude get broken down by Julie. It's funny because you know these big bad boys are capable of affection but you wonder why they never show it and I just love watching big bad boys get taken down by love.
With this story though I kept finding myself looking for something a little more. I'm not sure if it was background stories, or a little less sexiness, or what it was. Overall though, I absolutely adore everything Tessa writes and this one is no exception! Sexy and satisfying!

holy shit was this book amazing!! it's been awhile since I've read Tessa Bailey's books and I'd forgotten how incredible she is, this story has me crying with the deep emotions that the main couple experienced and beaming with joy at their happy ending! a bonus is Tess'a incredible steamy scenes!!

I think I may have preferred this book had I read it with my eyeballs and not listened to the audible book. The narrator just got on my nerves with the accent and voice of Julie. But this had a sweet conclusion which I enjoyed. It's not a big plot though, but the spice was nice

I only give this one three stars because things that I wanted to happen, didn't. And no I'm not going to tell you what those things were, you cad!
Also because I thought the heart breaker moments were more irredeemable than usual.
The beginning was cheesier than Tessa Bailey's norm. And I wanted more detail about what made the main character tick. Both of them, actually. We only got the barest hint.
Which leads to my next issue: why is this SO short? Are these getting shorter? What is happening to my life?
Don't get me wrong, Tessa Bailey is Tessa Bailey. This is so, so readable. I read it all in one sitting today. It isn't flawless, is all. I've come to expect more from the TB.
