Content: It is very sweary and very spicy. It’s in the Romance section of the bookstore.

Sophie Steinbeck doesn’t believe in love. Especially after she found out her fiance was cheating on her right before their wedding. Enter Max Parks: a wedding objector for hire. He is responsible for dealing with the wedding Sophie desperately wants to get out of, helping her save face. And, as part of a drunken night, she decides she wants in. So, the next time Max has a wedding to derail, he calls her up. Thus begins their partnership… which soon blooms into a friendship. Except, Sophie doesn’t believe in love and Max has sworn off it. So, when they kiss – even though there’s a lot of chemistry there – it doesn’t mean anything. But what happens when it starts to?

Oh, this one was delightful on audio. But the narrators are superb, and I adored the characters that Painter created. She wrote some pretty incredible banter, and the sexytimes were done incredibly well (she wrote some of the best kissing I’ve read in a while). There are some genuinely funny bits, and while I think the idea of people objecting at weddings for pay is kind of silly, Painter made it work.

It was just a lot of fun.
