     You may now kiss the biker 
     Bethany Jernigan owes her bestie. Big time. So when wedding planning overburdens the bride-to-be, Bethany steps in to handle the nitty-gritty. But the guy in charge isn't anything like she imagined. He's gruff, tattooed, and 100% male. His staff is even rougher around the edges, and it's not long before she feels as if she's stepped into some kind of crazy alternate reality. 
     Are those...bikers? Arguing about wedding favors? 
     Trey Harding never wanted this to get so out of hand. One little lie somehow snowballed into a world of dresses and flowers and food and holy-hell-he's-in-over-his-head. But it's not like he can confess he's not the wedding planner he's pretending to be--especially now that he's falling for the maid of honor! His charade is becoming a farce, and as engines rev and ribbons fly, Trey's running out of time to figure out how to tell the truth without losing his new family, his crew...or the woman of his dreams.


     I adored this story and the biker characters so much.

     Bethany's best friend is getting married and she just quit her job and while she is looking for a new one her friend enlists her help with the planning of her wedding so she can concentrate on finals. Meanwhile, her "mother" (her BFF's mother and the woman who took her in after the death of her dad) just found her missing son.

     Trey Harding is a biker who was abandoned in the bathroom of a gas station and raised by the foster system. He skirts the law with his gang but not in the way one would think but by trying to have drugs and other "bad" things out of the streets.

     I liked how different from other MC books this story was and I found the premiss of the bikers-turned-wedding-planners to be entertaining and for the most part I enjoyed it but I think the author needed to either make this a RomCom or a touching contemporary story.

     I found myself laughing at the antics of the MC guys one moment and the next Trey or Bethany revealed something about their past that was touching and I didn't know if I should be annoyed or sad. I will be looking for the next book in the series because I am interested to see the HEA of some of the other characters.
