Blurb:
Everly Plum is delighted to be heading up the Bridesmaid for Hire program at Magical Moments by Maggie. And when Hardy Hopper, one of their billionaire investors, approaches Everly for help with his friends’ wedding, she’s more than happy to step in. But Hardy has an extra assignment for her: his ex-girlfriend will be the maid of honor opposite his role as best man, and he wants Everly’s help getting her back.
There’s only one problem: Everly may have a tiny crush on the dashing businessman. But despite the way Hardy makes her stomach flutter, she’s determined to prove herself, both as a bridesmaid and as a matchmaker. That is, until she finds her crush turning into real feelings. Not to mention, Hardy can’t help but notice how well he clicks with Everly, and before he knows it, he’s not looking for his ex’s attention anymore.
But even after their simmering attraction finally rises to the surface, they will have to contend with meddling friends, poor timing, and professional boundaries—and the risk that no one might get a second chance after all.

Excerpt
“I’ve never had just pineapple, it’s always accompanied by ham or pepperoni, but I’m not opposed to this. It’s sweet, and the side of barbeque sauce is a nice surprise.”
“Good, right?” Hardy asks, waggling his brows.
“I would say more along the lines of interesting.”
“Hey, I’ll take it,” he says with a smile. “Maple never liked pineapple on pizza.”
Which makes me a better fit for Hardy than she is, but we’re not going to mention that or make this a competition because Maple is actually really sweet.
But just for my own personal record and satisfaction…ha, Maple, I can share a pizza with Hardy, and you can’t.
Okay, pettiness is over.
“Shame,” I say. “Because it’s good. The dipping sauce I’m still adjusting to.”
“Hang out with me some more and I’ll win you over.” He winks.
Boy, you have already won me over.
You won me over months ago.
After he swallows and takes a sip of his drink, he says, “So, tell me about your day.”
“Pretty sure you know about my day,” I say.
“Yeah, but you’re not eating dinner alone tonight, so act like I don’t know anything about what happened today.”
Well…that makes my heart nearly beat out of my chest as I look into his perfectly blue eyes. With comments like that, he’s making it next to impossible for me to even think about anyone else but him.
My Review
Oh my gosh, once again Meghan Quinn had me laughing so hard at a story while I was reading in bed, that both of my dogs jumped out of bed after giving me a dirty look. That seems to happen with every one of her books I read! I may have to not read her books in bed, lol. As usual though, this was such a great story and I loved almost every single minute of it!
So many characters joining us from other books/series by Quinn. It’s like going to a place where you know everyone. And when new characters are mentioned, you can’t wait to see how they might end up in a future book. The relationship between Hardy and Everly is exactly what I would love to find. Even when they are just friends, because she’s helping him try to get his ex, Maple (seriously? What a name!) back. The banter is so much fun. The silly things they both seem to connect about, movies, foods, etc. The cute little things that become inside jokes or silly little gifts, like the Clue playing piece for Professor Plum, the matching t-shirts, etc.
And then there was the date Everly’s sister set her up on with the guy named Tomothy. Yep, you read that right, it’s not a typo. Oh my gosh, it’s like he was every single red flag there could be. And I don’t even know where to start with him licking his cat’s paws. While that guy may have been someone you don’t like, it was impossible to dislike Maple, even as Everly wanted to, because, duh, that’s who Hardy wanted to get back with. Maple was a really nice person.
There were several situations in this story, even some of the misunderstanding/miscommunication bits that I was okay with, because I’ve done similar things. Like when you don’t want someone to know you like them, and you’re sure they can’t possibly be flirting with you because you know they like someone else. Or when the guy acts like it isn’t anything other than physical, you can’t possibly let him know you thought it was more than that, you’ve got to be cool about it! So while I normally might mark down for the miscommunication bit, this one just made sense and was so real to me. I totally got why Everly took so long to believe that Hardy might actually like her.
Finally, let’s not even get started on J.P.’s new fascination spreading to flamingos and penguins, that whole crazy wild path in the story had me giggling with every email asking for donations. Meghan Quinn has done it again, and I can’t wait to read more in this series!

I’ve never read this author’s books before and was wondering if I have to read the first book in this series before reading this one. Or maybe reading the first book would be helpful for getting to know the characters? You laughing out loud while reading makes me want to read this book too. I enjoyed the excerpt so thank you!
They’re all pretty much standalones. If you’ve read the others then you know the other couples, but you don’t have to read them in order! However, if you can read the first book before you read this one, I would do it. The first one had me laughing just as hard as this one!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I will keep it in mind for once my review pile clears out a bit.
If you get a chance to read any of her books, I definitely say go for it!
