BOOK- BRIDE BY MISTAKE- Kaitlin Shuller’s groom is marrying someone else. Worst day ever. The man of her dreams is making vows to another woman. Her heart is broken, and all her carefully laid plans destroyed. Enter Beckett Larson, her older brother’s best friend and a very good bad decision.
Beckett has spent his life trying to outrun his bad reputation, but everyone already thinks the worst of him, so when Kaitlin offers herself to him — virginity and all— he just can’t say no.
But one night together has permanent consequences, and this time Beckett knows he can’t outrun his bad boy reputation. He’s determined to make Kaitlin his bride…even if he has to seduce her down the aisle. AMAZON
Kaitlin is a planner. She always has a plan and she's usually busy working it; like a heat seeking missile. In some ways I really liked Kaitlin, she had quite the unique personality. She's unrealistic in some ways too. When she makes up her mind she is determined and like the author said with "zero beating around the bush". Beckett is a bad boy that the town loves to hate, they have already decided if there is trouble then he must have started it or was involved in some way. Its no surprise then that he hates the town as well, and has run more often times than not. The only person who valued him was his grandmother who loved him unconditionally. But she has passed away and only his longtime friend Luke Shuller remains. That friend who all of a sudden isn't. I got to say I really hated Luke, he was such a jerk. It also sounded like other things were going on in his life as well
(it was hinted at). If he gets his own book some of his behavior will get explained but I really didn't like that he wouldn't even believe in his former friend. He should have know that what he accused Beckett of wasn't true. Beckett knew that Kaitlin hated him too but he always sensed that it was different from her. That it was more about her than it was about him. He was right about that, he made her feel things that didn't fit in with her plan. Because of that Beckett loved riling her up; he got a kick out of needling her and waiting for the explosion. Kaitlin gets confused when she learns she is pregnant and that's not a pretty sight. When she's trying to come up with a plan about Beckett and what they should do, she hurts him right and left. That was painful to read because he laid himself out there a few times and she wasn't there for him at all. It made me like Beckett even more. He didn't want to be treated like gum on the bottom of her shoe and that's what he told her at one point. I liked the truth of those words and that Beckett said them to her as part of the story.
I like the descriptive way that the author wrote like, " she knew she resembled a bullet toward its mark, once Kaitlin had an idea she went for it full-throttle." One thing I didn't care for was the *F word; never a favorite of mine. At least it was only used a couple of times and wasn't peppered throughout the book. By the way, I thought the picture on the ebook cover was attractive.
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
