The Wedding Date
by Guillory, Jasmine
Alexa Monroe is stuck in an elevator when she meets Drew Nichols, a pediatric surgeon who needs a plus-one for his ex-girlfriend's wedding. What starts as a spontaneous agreement to play pretend for a weekend quickly morphs into something far more complicated. Guillory excels at writing the kind of banter that makes you laugh out loud while simultaneously rooting for two people who have no business being together. The pacing is snappy and the chemistry feels grounded in real-world professional anxieties, making the transition from fake dating to genuine vulnerability feel earned rather than forced. This is the perfect read for anyone who wants a low-angst, high-charm romance that prioritizes character growth and witty dialogue. If you enjoy stories about independent women navigating their own lives before finding someone who fits into them, this will be your new favorite.
