Always a Bridesmaid

By: Erin Clark, Laura Lovely

Narrated by: Andrew Eiden, Krystal Hammond

A sunny bridesmaid-for-hire and a grumpy best man put love to the test in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

High school principal Will Valentine doesn’t believe in love. But his best friend is getting married after a whirlwind romance and has asked him to be the best man. So here he is, a man named for the patron saint of lovers, who doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage yet is somehow color coordinating for the event. No one is more surprised than Will when he starts falling for the bubbly and vivacious maid of honor who loves all things love, but strangely doesn’t seem to know the bride all that well.

But what happens when he discovers Randi’s undercover identity? What begins as a battle of wills between the two soon turns into a flirtatious game. Between cake tastings and dress fittings, will these two opposites find their own once-in-a-lifetime love?

Selfish FMC

Randi whining about how her best friend chose to get married was annoying. Disappointed that she never came to realize her friend got married in a way that made her happy and it had nothing to do with Randi.

Cute and Quick

I loved the blend of predictability and curve ball. It has a great flow with enough interesting details and plot twists to keep it entertaining. I like the representation of different sexualities - it felt nuanced and natural instead of self righteous or preachy as other authors sometimes sound.

Nice!

This is the first time I listen to an audiobook that has no physical book (that u know of👀🤕😅) I’m used to reading while listening so it was kind of awkward for me but u enjoyed the performance and the story, it was fun and easy to listen to. Would highly recommend giving it a try.

The plot in the story. Also I liked the characters

I enjoyed the storylines. I would like the characters and would seek out as friends

So Fun!

Immediately gripping and interesting stories with characters that are easily relatable and well rounded. It was such a fun and light listen and I need more already!

The main email character. The performance of her was spot on.

Felt the main male character wasn’t believable. His behavior in the end didn’t fit the character built thru out the novel

It was light and fun

The story was cute! Positive I liked it, I always enjoy the narrators! Andy Art

Cute story

Cute girl story with a few twist. Definitely recommend for something on the light side.

Good

This is a fun story. I like the high school educators characters & the problems facing educators …although a small part of the book it is my world & like recognition of the trials educators face. The narrators were good except didn’t like the female whiny voice when the character was distressed very distracting. Male narrator was excellent!

Sweet story

Sweet story about two people with opposite views on love. Although, it seemed like they were both in love with their respective best friends. Kinda weird how obsessed they were but it ended on a good note with the feelings of missing their friends coming out.
