Full Review:
5 Stars - I highly recommend if you enjoy contemporary romance.
When Jane's best friend gets married she becomes a bit of a bridezilla. When the wedding is about a week away, Jane gets the news that her task is to babysit the groom's wayward younger brother and keep him from ruining everything. Jane can't wait to get out of bridesmaid duties so she readily agrees. However, she finds that Cameron embraces not only civilian life back on Canadian soil, but being babysat as well. He also helps her test her type A and play it safe nature. After a week together, they have bonded, but still have to make it through the wedding and all of the side effects that come with it.
Ugh, this book was so cute. I loved it so much. I could really relate to Jane's character in how much she wanted to get out of the wedding craziness. I'm also very much the planner, the type-A person, so I definitely felt like I "got" Jane from the beginning. I'll be honest and say that I was wary of Cameron. I'm not one for military romances, and his personality is soooo bad at first... BUT you really come around to him, and I felt like all of his military moments and ideals expressed were incredibly commendable. I loved seeing Cameron and Jane bond over shared experiences and risk taking, it was so fun and unique. I loved the way they slowly (and quickly) got to know each other and care for each other. I thought it was really sweet how much they fought their attraction, and he mostly let her call the shots. I thought that his PTSD was handled really well and while he was a bit of an angsty character it made sense and added depth to the story without being too angsty. The chemistry in this book was so good. So much banter, tension, sweet moments, and unexpected pet names. Ugh I just loved it. I am super excited to say this has broken me out of a mini reading rut, and I can't wait to read the rest of this series, and more books by Jenny Holiday!
