Blurb:

It's never too late for love in this short, sweet novella - an audio-first nod to a beloved rom-com!

After getting unceremoniously dumped by his boyfriend, the last thing Cooper Evans wants is to return to his hometown of Big Rock, Montana to be in his best friend's wedding. But he agreed to be her Bridesmate (her male maid of honor), and a promise is a promise. What he didn't expect is to run into his high school crush, who's out of the closet and a smoking hot cop to boot.

Will Baker is just as dreamy as he was when he broke Cooper's heart all those years ago - and it turns out he's in the wedding party too. Will Cooper make it through the ceremony with his heart unscathed, or will he risk it all for a second chance at love?

My Review:

4.5 stars — OK, I am officially a fan of audio novellas!!  Especially when they’re part of a subscription service.  They’re like little romance snacks.  I mean, this is my first one, but I’m going to blanket statement that shit.

Teddy Hamilton was delightful as always.  And jesus, his Will voice?  SWOON.

Cooper was pretty cool, though he could be a bit self-absorbed…that was really my only negative about the story.  Will was equally adorable, though we only get Cooper’s POV.

The secondary characters were fantastic and gave me plenty of laughing moments.

Yeah, super tiny review, but what can I say?  It was fun, it was quick but it didn’t feel incomplete.
