What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas, when one night out turns into a wedding that neither newlywed can remember, from New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton.
Wedding planner Honor Bellini is in Las Vegas for a work convention when she runs into her sister's ex-fiancé, Owen Stone, who's also in town for his craft brewery business. They're both glad to see a familiar face from home...until a night of drinking leads to waking up in bed together--and a marriage certificate from a wedding that neither of them can recall.
Horrified, Owen suggests an immediate annulment. Honor agrees, but when they spend the day together, their chemistry is overwhelming. Plus, Honor has a flash of memory of their steamy wedding night, and she definitely likes what she remembers. They decide to wait before cancelling the whole marriage thing, though they both head back to Oklahoma determined not to tell anyone at home what happened in Vegas.
The problem is, Honor and Owen can't seem to stay away from each other--or keep their hands off one another. The longer they keep their secret, the harder it gets to deny how they really feel. Even worse, this huge secret has the potential to hurt someone they both care about. They need to get an annulment before this accidental marriage turns into love.
A little bit of angst, a lot of humor and a whole lot of love. The Accidental Newlywed Game was a pleasure to read. ~ Kitty – Simply Love Books
What a wonderful friends to lovers story The Accidental Newlywed Game was. Cute and funny at times, steamy and romantic at other times. Jaci Burton really drew me into this story and made me appreciate the lengths people will go to to protect the people they love.
Honor and Owen were both honorable and had chemistry that just oozed off the pages. They both know staying married is risky but, do they have a choice? Do they really want a divorce? Yes, there is major history between Owen and the Bellini family. They forgave him, they understood but, will they understand this and can he be forgiven … again?
The family dynamic throughout this story was fun, frustrating and refreshing. The Bellini sisters are all different but they work as a family. I love the way that Mama Bellini made them settle their differences. I could totally picture it in an Italian family because, who else but the mother has the power in the family or the last say?
I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end. The story was fluent and flowed off the pages. I can always depend on Jaci Burton giving us a fun and sexy story, engaging characters and the perfect mix of humor, heat and romance. And, throw in Bettie and your heart just melts with all the cute and cuddlies. A little bit of angst, a lot of humor and a whole lot of love. The Accidental Newlywed Game was a pleasure to read.
