Kiss the Bride by Melissa Blue

5.0

Ahh, this steamy romance novel was such a much-needed breath of fresh air!

Final impressions:
• Set in a post-COVID timeline where a jaded romance author and a dreamy comic book artist start dating after getting drunkenly married in Las Vegas.
• Accidental, drunken marriage with a twist because Oliver is convinced that he's found someone special.
• Eclectic group of friends turned chosen family!!!
• Emery is a bisexual, biracial beauty who deserves all the love in the world.
• Oliver Harrington said, "fuck toxic masculinity."
• In the same vein, Oliver Harrington can choke me respectfully.
• I also appreciate how this book portrays exes and past relationships in a humanizing light. Sometimes people just don't fit in the way that they should in order to make things work, and that's okay.
• No unnecessary third-act breakup and it was very refreshing.
• A delightful balance of fluff and steam - where the fluff is deliciously precious and the steam is very, very hot.
• Perfect for readers who are looking for a cozy, whirlwind romance with a generous helping of feel-good escapism.

Highly recommended!
