Mile High Matched Book 3
Saying “I Do” has never been such a mess.
Marlee Medford just got dumped. Yes, things have become ho-hum in her longtime relationship, but she was two days away from walking down the aisle with the man she thought was her forever when he called it off. Convincing herself that they’d be able to reignite their spark once the wedding craziness settled? That was easy. Suddenly finding herself without a fiancé? Not so much. Marlee needs to regain control of her life, and a weekend away with her friends is a solid first step.
One of Denver’s best up-and-coming chefs, perpetual bachelor Eli Howard, isn’t into serious relationships—especially the kind that ends in marriage. As if to prove his point that they aren’t worth the trouble, the wedding he was supposed to be catering just fell apart. Feeling oddly protective of the jilted bride—his little sister’s best friend—his weekend plans now involve a trip to Sin City with her group of friends. But it looks like he had a bit too much fun in Vegas when he wakes up married…wedding night included.
Marlee’s attempts at getting her life back together are failing miserably. Her ex-fiancé is taking the house, her chihuahua is intent on a love affair with Eli’s sneakers, and she’s now accidentally hitched to the guy who can't even say the word marriage. With their quickie annulment denied, Eli and Marlee just have to hang tight until the divorce goes through. It’s just a little divorce amongst friends, what’s the worst that could happen?
Take It Off the Menu is book three of the Mile High Matched series, but stands alone and can be read in any order. If you love a hunky caterer and an accidental marriage then this book is for you! Buy now for a fun, friends-to-lovers romance!
My Review:
Waking up married in Las Vegas. It seems like such a simple, unassuming plot thread. I have never seen it done with the kind of flair found within this book. (That could be because none of the other had Babushka to shake them up.) I have had so much fun watching confirmed bachelor Eli swan along in the background of the previous books, never guessing what was at the heart of his commitment phobia. I’m not even sure what to say about Marlee. If it weren’t for bad luck, this poor woman might have no luck at all. Together, they have something pretty special. I can’t wait until I get the chance to come back and do it all over again. But, I’m still trying to find Claire and Dean’s story. If anyone knows where to find it, point me in the right direction, would you? I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book though Hidden Gems Books.
