About this ebook

Taylor doesn't like people, and she doesn't like dating. So she's the worst possible person to be stuck in a fake relationship--especially with someone as uptight as Charles Kensington.

She never should have had a one-night stand with him. That was her first mistake. Because then she felt bad about his difficult family situation and had the ridiculous urge to help him out. So now she's pretending to be his girlfriend, and she's a terrible girlfriend. She's grumpy and cynical and not good company, but she has to pretend to be head-over-heels when she's never been in love in her life.

When he moved to Azalea, all Charles wanted was some time and quiet to write his book, but instead he's fallen into an absurd scheme with an infuriating woman. It's nice of her to help him out, but that's the only thing about Taylor that's nice. She's stubborn and reclusive and rude. And smoking hot. And she awakens parts of his nature he never knew existed before. He can't help but want her to see there's a lot more to him than a nice, boring guy.

They're opposites. No doubt about that. But Charles wonders if this mismatch might be exactly what both of them need.

Ratings and reviews

I’m really enjoying this series! Charles and Taylor were especially entertaining. With a bit of an enemies-to-lovers feel to it and lots of fun, witty banter, I was immediately sold on them as a couple. Taylor’s past has left her a bit wounded when it comes to commitment and relationships. However, her reaction to Charles kept tricking her up. I loved watching her change her mind along the way. What they had ended up with a very organic feel to it making me love it all the more. Charles was amazing! He was a bit nerdy, not an alpha hero by any means, and yet he was a goner for Taylor. His own history with her showed a bit of what he would eventually feel for her as an adult and I adored that little peek at what they were like when they were young. There was one point where my heart literally broke for him and I found tears in my eyes due to the way this author presented the issue. This is a fast paced, relatively quick read laced with an intensity so hot I swear my Kindle was smoking. With an incredible ending and a lead in to the next book, I’m anxious for what this author has in store for our bridesmaids.

This is book three in The Bad Bridesmaids Series and it is Taylor and Charles story and omg this book is amazing and a must read. Taylor didn't do relationships or commitment due to her past and after having a one night stand with Charles which she shouldn't have done especially as she is best friend's with his sister and Taylor and Charles constantly bicker and get on each other's nerves and then things get really complicated so they end up in a fake relationship to keep Charles family off his back. Charles finds Taylor absolutely infuriating even if she is beautiful and hot but also in her own way he thinks that she is adorable but after having a one night stand with her which is totally out of his comfort zone he wants more with her but he knows that she is gun shy after what she had been through but when she suggests that they have a fake relationship to help him out he is hoping that he might be able to change her mind as something has changed between them after spending so much time together but he will have to go slow as he doesn't want to scare her away. I absolutely love this book and even though Taylor and Charles are the total opposite of each other they just seemed to gel and be perfect together but will Charles be able to break down the walls that Taylor constantly has around her or will they miss out on something special between them only time will tell. I couldn't put this book down and I had to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next and I absolutely loved the outcome. Noelle Adams is an amazing author and writer and she certainly knows how to keep her reader's attention and on edge of their seats while reading her books and I definitely recommend you read this book, series and other books by her and you will definitely not be disappointed. I Voluntarily Reviewed an Arc Copy of this book.
