Book Blurb

When drama threatens to ruin a romance on a reality show, only a true friend can save a groomzilla’s wedding.

Daniel Green, an event planner with a neat, quiet, orderly life, reluctantly agrees to plan the wedding of his childhood friend Ander, an outrageous fashion designer soon to marry a wealthy entertainment lawyer named Rafe. To complicate matters, the happy couple have agreed to have their wedding made into a reality show—something that practical Daniel isn’t sold on.

Daniel is neither a romantic nor a wedding planner, but he’s the only person in the world who can manage Ander. Distracting him from his mission is Owen Grainger, a too-handsome-to-be-true producer whose quiet charm pulls Daniel into his orbit.

When the stress of the show triggers bad behavior from Ander, co-producer Victor Pierce decides it's the key to a ratings bonanza, and he begins to undermine Ander and Rafe’s relationship to create more drama. Daniel is determined to protect his friend and his own reputation, but when he finds himself falling hard for Owen, there’s much more at stake than ratings.

 

Book Review

How could I possibly resist a book titled 'Groomzilla'? The fact it's also my first read by Tere Michaels didn't hurt in my decision either. And the description pretty much capped it. I was looking forward to fun, a little drama, some hot sex, and a happy ever after.

Ander fussed with his collar. “Yes, Daniel, you’re my booty call.” He regarded Daniel with a fond smile. “My emotional booty call.” Daniel couldn’t help but laugh at that......“That’s the most accurate description of our friendship I’ve ever heard.”

There are some things in life that you will make an ultimate sacrifice for. The best friend you've had since you were eight is very high on that list. Which is how Daniel ends up agreeing to be Ander’s wedding planner on a reality show. Now, Daniel isn't a wedding planner, he's an event planner, and he tries everything he can to say no, but he can't hold out against his bestie for too long. Plus, if he'd said no, he never would've met Owen.

The author very pleasantly surprised me with some slightly intense drama I wasn't expecting. Let's face it, the title led me to believe fun, happy, sexy, etc., right? Well, there's more to these characters than meets the eye. Daniel and Ander with their sad, lonely childhoods at boarding school, Owen a teenage model who got stuck in the eating disorder frenzy, and very weird Victor, Owen's business partner, who needs to be seen to be believed.

This is a very cute and sweet story that I enjoyed. If you like reality TV and want to see the craziness that goes on behind the scenes, along with good characters and a solid story, then this might be the book for you,
