About this ebook

Kennedy Martin is shocked when her ex calls days before his wedding, expressing serious second thoughts. Doesn’t he see his fiancée's actually the glaze to his doughnut? Now she’s got no choice but to crash his wedding and convince the man he’s with the right woman.

Instead, she crashes into the absolute last man she ever wanted to see: Maverick Owens, her old college nemesis. Maverick is still as awful, infuriating, and just The Worst as ever—even if he looks way too sexy in his cowboy hat. And of course he’s convinced she’s actually at the seaside ranch to ruin the wedding.

Now the only way to get some face time with the groom and save this marriage is to participate in all sorts of pre-wedding events...with Maverick. Stuck on a canoe, making small-talk at cocktail hour, and even a hoedown with her worst enemy? This just might be the longest week of her life...

Ratings and reviews

Sweet story with heartwarming characters Kennedy, an ER doctor, is "crashing" her ex's wedding because of his drunk phone call that is probably just cold feet. Coincidentally, the wedding is taking place at the ranch/wedding venue owned by the family of a guy she knew in college, Maverick. Sparks fly, even though Maverick isn't sure he's ready to move on from a tragic loss years ago. The story was a little confusing at first until I realized that there were two exes in Kennedy's life - one whose wedding she's now attending, and one that has recently become engaged to her sister. One's still a friend; the other is the reason she's looking for another job. Her friendship with her college rival, Maverick, is complex yet sweet and heartfelt. There is a strong cast of charming, small town characters who embrace the city girl and help her make the necessary decisions about her future, and there's just enough steam to showcase the chemistry that makes it impossible for either Kennedy or Maverick to walk away from the blossoming romance. I loved the HEA, and the story was well balanced between light humor and medical tragedy. I appreciated that the tear-jerking scenes were layered with warmth and hope for the future. I recommend this romance for anyone who likes the city girl/cowboy dynamic; just keep a notepad handy to sort out who's who until you're well into the story. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

4.5⭐ They say there's a fine line between love and hate and Ms Bielman straddles it beautifully with a small town story full of great characters and a storyline that has all the feels and perfectly balances the serious notes with the snappy banter and sweetness I love. And with plenty of character growth and great pacing I was completely captivated throughout and hope there will be more visits to Windsong in the future. Would happily recommend. **I was kindly provided with an ARC via Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review**

Not quite the 'crash' I was expecting. This was a fun, quirky and at times, laugh out loud read, but it was also, for me, one where I kept changing the POV, from 3rd to 1st in my head. It didn’t infringe on the story in any other way and I did really enjoy it. I’d have loved it more as a first person narrative, but, as I said, that’s just me and I am a huge fan of Robin Beilman’s work, so I’m not going to stop reading it for that reason alone. Maverick and Kennedy were a cute couple, maybe a little bit disconnected at times, but both had some past issues that they were slightly hung-up on. You’ll understand why when you read the book. I really felt for both of them. Maverick was hiding his broken soul from his family when Kennedy turned up on his ranch for the wedding of her ex-boyfriend. What was she there for? To cause mayhem… or something else? Maverick intended to keep a watchful eye on her and as he did, his heart started to heal. Kennedy’s past with the groom and her family was convoluted at best. She needed to talk to her mom asap and put her straight as to how she’d treated Kennedy while she was growing. It has certainly affected how she acts in a relationship. Once these two saw the light- (cue a sunset moment, aww)- they began to see each other the way the should have a decade earlier. But, life, and fate, had had other plans for them then. Now, it was time to reach for the happy ever after they both deserved. A definite One-Clicker from Robin Bielman, grab yours today and enjoy THE WEDDING CRASHER AND THE COWBOY.
