Jenny Holiday

In this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy, USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday proves that opposites don't just attract, they ignite. Gia Gallo is officially in bridesmaid hell. Stranded in New York with her best friend's wedding dress, Gia has six days to make it to Florida in time for the ceremony. And oh-so-charming best man Bennett Buchanan has taken the last available rental car. Looks like she's in for one long road trip with the sexiest - and most irritating - Southern gentleman she's ever met... Bennett's pretty sure that if there was ever a woman to break his "no flings" rule, Gia would be it. Sure, she's stubborn. She's also funny, smart, and the attraction between them is getting hotter with every state line they cross. While Bennett doesn't do casual, Gia doesn't do "relationships." But if they break the rules, this unlikely pair might discover that their impromptu road trip could turn out to be the best ride of their lives. "The perfect rom-com." -Refinery29 on One and Only "When it comes to creating unputdownable contemporary romances, Holiday is in it to win it." -Booklist "Holiday combines class and sass with a hefty dose of humor." -Publishers Weekly The Bridesmaids Behaving Badly series:One and OnlyIt Takes TwoThree Little Words

I've received a ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The novel was longer than I expected to be and with the storyline, the author could've shorten it to be honest. Gia behavior despite it being caused by her previous relationship hardships with famiy/past love interests was bitchy, immature, childish, ungrateful and selfish. I felt like she didn't respect Bennett decision to indulged in sexual relations only when he's in a relationship. It seem like she made it out to be a challenge to devert him from that. I didn't think either one of them had any real chemistry and their connection was 'meh' in my opinion. 

Then half way through (bless my patience), somehow, someway Gia was able to redeem 
herself and become a somewhat decent human being but still remain unlikable. Bless Bennett heart and his patience because he deserved better but who am I to say how love works?!

Bennett Buchanan has a bad impression of model Gia Gallo from the moment he meets her at the airport, where they are both stranded after a snow storm makes it impossible to fly out of NYC to make it to their best friends' wedding in Florida. She's crabby, she's causing a fuss, but she also tells Bennett she's hungry.
The Southern gentleman in Bennett won't allow him to leave a lady in a lurch, so he offers to take her to his restaurant for dinner and if her reaction to his food is any indication, maybe Gia is more than her beautiful exterior after all. 
Gia is immediately attracted to Bennett and considers adding him to her "one and done, two and through" list. But, Bennett rejects her advance, embarrassing Gia who is coming to realize she has bigger problems to worry about. Namely, her 30th birthday, her growing fear she has a "problem" with food, and whether or not she has anything to offer the world but a pretty face.
But a decision to drive to Florida forces these two together, making both of them question the strict rules they've learned to manage their lives and feelings.

AH. There's nothing I love more than a good roadtrip romance, and this hits all of the high points for me with the added bonus of being a perfect end to an excellent series. Gia and Bennett are FIRE, and I loved how deftly Jenny Holiday handled their various issues. The reasons for Gia and Bennett being afraid to be together are realistic, and seeing Gia's best friends gather to give her strength just gave me so many feels. So good.

Get this one preordered stat.

Thank you to the publisher for the ARC!

Jenny Holiday's Bridesmaids Behaving Badly series is a breath of fresh air. I've been totally enamored with each character, couple and book since the very beginning. I was excited to get to the last chapter of this series — and finally get Gia's story — and it in no way disappointed. In fact, it's probably my favorite of the series. I adored everything about it.

Man oh man, did I love Gia and Bennett. They played so well off each other and their chemistry was A+. I love a good road trip story and Gia and Bennett's was so perfect. I mean, hello, they went to South of the Border! What's a trip down (or up) I95 without a stop at South of the Border?! They made me laugh and swoon and I read nearly all of this book with a big cheesy grin on my face. It wasn't just the romance that made my heart happy, it was the friendships. Gia and her girls are goals. (And so are Bennett and his boys.) I read Three Little Words on Galentine's Day and it was the perfect time to do it. 

I'm a big fan of a good epilogue and OMG did Jenny ever deliver in Three Little Words. I won't say too much because you deserve to get all the heart eyes — and a few tears — but it was EVERYTHING. It was the perfect way to close out the series. I get a little teary-eyed just thinking about it, tbh. I'm going to miss these characters, the friendships and relationships, but I love how everything wrapped up. I'll be keeping an eye out to see what Jenny gives us next. I'm here for it. She's easily one of my new favorite authors.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Favorite Quotes:

"I don't want to be anyone's girlfriend. I also don't want to mislead anyone. So I make sure I don't."

"When your whole point in life is to be good-looking, it's hard to find people who actually like you for you." 

Fuck her rules. Fuck his rules. They could call this whatever she liked that made it okay: casual, a hookup, a booty call. Because this was not over. No fucking way.

"I'm not going to try to control you. I know it's not my job to fix you. I don't even think you're broken."
