About this audiobook
Suzanne Jefferson is broke, which is why she's given up charity work for wedding planning. Fortunately, she has a high-profile client-and best of all, he's paid in advance. There are just two teensy problems: the bride is a bona fide bridezilla, and Suzanne's stock racer ex-husband is the best man. At least she thought he was her ex-husband . . .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book but was acutually glad it was short. Watching them go back and forth in their relationship was getting frustrating. More time could have been spent developing their communication skills and maturity levels. It was still a quick easy read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Erin is always good for a little bit of smutty reading. I didn't realize I had read the first two in the series until I started reading this. It's always hard when it's a while between books of a series to remember what happened before.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another good book in this spicy series set in stock car racing world. I liked the involvement of characters from previous books and all the humor. Suzanne is wedding planner for bridezilla when she learns that not only is the best man her ex-husband Ryder but due to a technicality they are still married.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was so freaking excited to read about Suz and Ryder that I think I went into this book thinking the world of it already and I have to say that I was mildly disappointed at how it went. I thought Suz and Ryder were incredibly hot together and their banter was so fun, but I felt a little out of place because I didn't really feel we got a definite reason to why their marriage first ended and sometimes the story felt a little rushed. Maybe if the books were a little longer, I could have gotten the full body experience, but I didn't. The epilogue left me a little hanging toom but it was a good hook for the next book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Man I don't even know what to say. After raving about her first two books, then reading this one...I'm stunned. Flabbergasted even. Like, what happened?
First of all, Suzanne is just a bitch. That's all there is to it. I didn't like her in the first two books, and I sure as sh** don't like her in this one. She's mean, self-centered, cruel to Ryder constantly, and just flat out depressing. I basically couldn't stand her, and the only (and I mean ONLY) reason I finished this story was because of Ryder. But the thing is, WHY was he in love with someone who seemed to have no redeeming qualities at all, except that she looked "smoking hot" in a pair of jeans? No accounting for hormones I guess.
But honestly, I really liked Ryder. He's caring, sweet, funny, and smoking hot himself. He's the only reason I gave this book three stars.
I'm not sure if I'm gonna read the next in the series or not. I probably will just because I hate to leave things unfinished, but I'm so hoping we get back some of the magic of the first two books. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5
No love lost here.
Probably my least favorite of the series (so far). Suzanne and Ryder have been a part of books since the beginning. We know they were married at one point but are now divorced. We also know that they have a rather explosive relationship. Ryder pushes her buttons and has a rather laid back attitude, and Suzanne is always flying off the handle with snarky comments and a rather bitchy attitude. There seem to be lingering feelings on both sides, but they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge them.
Nikki plays a prominent role in this story since Suzanne is her wedding planner. I could have done without the play-by-play of the planning with bridezilla. I don't care if it adds to the irony that the bimbo seems to have a better clue about marriage than the "seasoned veteran", Miss Uptight herself. Though some parts were funny, I would have had more fun watching tumbleweeds roll by.
The rest of this review doesn't have a spark of optimism, so if you don't wnt to know how I really feel, stop now.
I'm not denying that it takes two to make a marriage work, and Ryder made his fair share of mistakes, but Suzanne rarely gives an inch and verbally beats him down time and time again. If Ryder says something cheeky, she flys off the handle. When he says something hurtful she flys off the handle. There is just no way of making this woman just a little bit happy. I was beginning to wonder if she was bipolar, schizophrenic or suffered from a brain tumor. Her meddling in the first two books was infuriating. I don't care that it came from a corner of concern and well meaning – enough interference already! I wanted her to stop trying and fix the lives of her friends and worry more about her own. The fact that Tammy's ten year old daughter would repeat some of Suzanne's inappropriate adult humor failed to amuse me.
When Suzanne briefly mentions how her marriage to Ryder came about, I feel even more infuriated with her. She wanted her marriage to work and she loved Ryder, but she says so herself that she didn't want to talk to anyone, not even him about the reasons for the failure of their marriage. How can you be married and not talk to your husband and expect everything to be hunky dory? She doesn't consider that maybe her perception of Ryder's intentions back then could have been a product of her own insecurities. Jeez, wouldn't that just be a b*tch if it turned out to be true?
I was a little disappointed at the ending. I was expecting a bit more drama – like perhaps Ryder's stuffy PR people may have said something to her back then that fueled her insecurities, about her possibly ruining his budding career, that sort of thing. No such luck.
Thank goodness for the reoccurring appearances of Tammy and Elec and Ty and Imogen. They're good eggs. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book reminded me why I don't read contemporaries very often. The story is about a divorced couple who discovers they really aren't divorced. So many of the plot devices used were superficial and the hero and heroine never really developed. I don't want to include spoilers so I can't go through everything I disliked about the book but I'm just glad I didn't pay for it.
