BLURB: ⟫ That feeling when you wake up married to your best man…
When my almost-wedding to a popular media influencer implodes and goes viral, we head to Vegas to drown our sorrows and hide from the paparazzi. Everything is under control. Right?
But then I wake up naked, hungover, and married to my straight best friend.
A quick annulment is the perfect solution. Until it’s not.
I need to break free from my controlling father and stay in med school to gain access to my trust fund and the truth about my mother’s disappearance. The only way to do that is to prove my independence.
Mac and I agree to pretend our accidental marriage was intentional. Pretend Mac isn’t exactly straight. Pretend I'm madly in love with my best friend.
The hard part? All this pretending feels way too real.
Every kiss and touch from Mac feels more authentic than the last, making it difficult to hide how much I want our marriage to be forever.
Mac has been the only constant in my life. My best friend. My whole world.
But with our divorce only a signature away, I risk losing everything. Mac included.
Can what happened in Vegas be forever?
My Big Gay Secret Wedding is a low angst M/M romance and the third book in the Wedding Disasters series. It features best friends to lovers, waking up married, demi-awakening, fake relationships, small towns, and found family. It can be read as a standalone but is better read as part of the series. There is no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
REVIEW: ⟫ I’m in so many different minds about this book. I should preface this by saying that I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, which, although this can be read as a stand-alone, I feel like I missed a few hints and connections whilst reading.
There were quite a few times when I felt pulled out of the story, but honestly it was mainly when it came to Mac’s refusal to swear. I don’t know why he doesn’t swear, but the words he chose instead just seemed kinda silly and each time it happened, it pulled me out of focus. There were a lot of plot lines in this story, including what happened to Rainn and Zye’s mother, the background of Mac’s father being an alcoholic, what happened between Zye and Mac – and honestly, it felt like they were superfluous. It was all a bit much and there were a few occasions when I wanted to just slide past sections.
Mac being unsure of his sexuality and his insistence that he wasn’t gay was also a bit of a niggle for me. However, Mac and Rainn were both very much there for each other – they weren’t just best friends in name, they also showed how much they cared for each other. The scenes between the two of them when they were alone were romantic, sweet and touching and I very much enjoyed the two of them together.
I received an ARC from GRR.
