Publisher's summary

A brand new stand-alone romantic comedy from the best-selling, award-winning team of Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy.

Hosting her brother's wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning's life. Already the family screw-up, she can't afford to fail. And nobody (nobody!) can learn of the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. It was wrong, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. Even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs.

Blake Riley sees the wedding as fate's gift to him. Jess is the maid of honor and he's the best man? Let the games begin. So what if he's facing a little (fine, a lot) of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he's really a good boy with a bad rap. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you've got to make an effort if you want to score.

But Jess has more pressing issues to deal with than sexy-times with a giant man-child. Such as: will the ceremony start on time, even though someone got grandma drunk? Does glitter ever belong at a wedding? And is it wrong to murder the best man?

Caution: May cause accidental aspiration of tea or coffee. Do not listen in a public place where loud laughter is inappropriate. Contains hot but hilarious hockey players, puppy cuddling, and a snarky pair of underwear. Cover art copyright Okay Creations.

Let me start by saying that my review is completely base on the Audiobook and unfortunately the narration didn't work for me and actually made me dislike the characters. I know if I had read this book I would have loved it but I didn't. The narrators are both good narrators but the female narrator narrated 80% of this book and she really didn't fit, she made Jess sound too old and honestly made her seem like a snobby B*tch and I don't think she was supposed to be, just like I think Blake was supposed to be a fun loving playful guy and her voice/tone for him made his seem dumb and kinda of like an air head. The entire time I was listening I was thinking that another narrator would have brought these characters both about in a different light. I am not bashing her, I just really feel like she was not the right choice for this book.

The story itself was sweet and sexy and exactly what I expected from these authors! I was excited to get a little Will & Jamie time too! I've still got high hopes for the next book in this series.

Blake Riley makes me smiley-and so does this audio

Good Boy was fantastic-story, narration, the whole ball of wax. The Blake-isms by the huge puppy dog of a hockey player, Blake Riley, are sure to keep you smiling all day. That and his humongous...heart.

I love all the books of this series (technically, this is book 3 of the Him series) and get ready for the feelings because Jamie and Wes are prominent in the first few chapters. If you've listened to Us, you know why. Good luck keeping the tears at bay, in the best possible way. If you haven't listened to Him and Us, I can't recommend them enough-period. Him is my #1 all time listen because #wesmie.

Teddy Hamilton and Tanya Eby both turn in amazing performances and hit all the right notes with their voice acting skills. Loved this book and can't wait for the next parts of the WAGS series.

Did not finish

I’m not ok with toxic masculinity and possessiveness. I stopped at “if I can’t fuck you no one can”. That’s not cool. I get the story is hinting at there is more to male lead than meets the eye. But the possessiveness and not respecting NO is too much for me to keep going. This one’s a pass for me.

what plot?

This book was well written and I loved the characters, but there was zero plot! No obstacles, no story arc, no climax. I kept waiting for something to happen, then all of a sudden it was over. Two people fell in love. Authors - you can do better, and I really hope you do because I like your style.

Eh...

Loved Blake (as I did in Us as well). I was kinda "meh" on Jess which could be because I found the female narrator to be too robotic. Her voice kept pulling me out of the story.

Elle & Sarina have done it again!!!

I was always hoping for a Blake book & I am so damn happy I got it thanks to these fantastic authors. I laughed, I swooned, I got a little sad then I laughed some more.

Cha-esus

Absolutely loved this story. Blake Riley is such a love bug and he's oh so swoony, sweet, a teddy bear with big paws but at the same time he is sensuous, loud and a dirty talker! The banter between he and Jess is hysterical!! I loved the continuation of Jamie and Wes and it just warmed my heart and soul.
Teddy Hamilton as Blake was amazing as always!
My first listen by Tanya Eby.

Blake is horrible

I started this hoping Blake would be better than the previous books, but he is legitimately infuriating and inappropriate. Climbing into bed or going into a bathroom with a woman showering uninvited is not adorable and harmless, it's sexual harassment. The excellent narrators can't salvage Blake's personality to make this book palatable to me

Wonderfully fun listen.

This is a great fun listen. It made me laugh out loud, I was listening at work and had to cover my unexpected laugh with a cough and I was smiling so much that my co-workers kept looking at me like I had lost it . If you are looking for a deep meaningful emotion packed tear jerker- this is probably not for you. If you are looking for a great fun listen with exceptional narrating and lovable characters this is it that will lift your mood THIS IS IT.
