não tava dando muito pela historia, mas ela é bem gostosinha de ler

temos um boy que nunca deixa outras mulheres entrar por traumas com uma e uma querida que ta enjoada do trabalho e sempre tentando tapar buraco na dinamica familiar e por fim se encontram numa ilha paradisiaca e se amam sem saber oq vai acontecer no final da viagem ja que um mora lá e o outro ta a passeio

eu gostei do livro pq ela foi bem levinho de ler, bem livrinho pra ler com uma soda italiana do lado, ou drinks mais elaborados se voce consome alcool, o ponto forte do livro pra mim foi o fato de que eles vao descobrindo juntos como combinar para que essa relação de certo, sem que um passe por cima do outro pq como alguem que já morou fora e que já gostou de alguem que morava fora o grande impasse é "como ficar juntos sem desistir de mim?" e isso é tao dificil pq tu fica pensando em diversas situações que podem dar errado pq é normal o ser humano ter ansiedade

enfim, não lembro dos hots pq eu tava tao focado em saber como e se eles iam ficar juntos que isso teve um peso maior pra me fazer gostar do livro

This book is amazing! Another great book from JJ Knight. The best part of this book was when the crabs came out of everywhere, even the bushes and they all went straight to the wedding that was in the beach. That scene would have been great to see in person

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

From the moment Tillie and Gabe lock eyes, you can feel the chemistry between them sizzling like a summer sunset on the beach. Their banter is witty and light, and their meet-cute is absolutely hilarious.

As the story unfolds, you start to realize that these two are kindred spirits who understand each other on a deep level. They share a passion for their work and a desire to make a difference in their communities. But as their vacation comes to an end, the harsh realities of their lives begin to intrude.

What I loved most about this book was the way Knight handled the characters' emotional journeys. Tillie's struggles to balance her loyalty to her sister with her own desires were relatable and heart-wrenching, while Gabe's backstory was both tragic and redemptive. The secondary characters, including his friends, added a delightful layer of humor and warmth to the story.

The epilogue brought me to tears, and I loved the way Knight tied up loose ends in a way that felt both cheesy and authentic.

Loved this book!

There's just something that calls to me when there's a destination wedding in a romance novel. And through in a little healthy competition, I definitely can't resist! Tillie and Gabe had HOT chemistry and I loved them together. I didn't know upon reading that this is a follow-up to another book, so I do recommend reading the books in order if you want to avoid any relationship spoilers. But, if you're like me and you're a chaotic lil demon and read according to your mood, definitely pick this up when you have a Pina Colada in hand and you're laying on the beach. Or on your driveway in the sun pretending you're on a beach.

You won't be disappointed!

Tillie James, a bartender on a tropical island for her sister's wedding, meets local bartender Gabe Landers in a humorous encounter. Their vacation fling evolves into a deeper connection, but living in different countries poses challenges. The story navigates their relatable struggles with separation, family bonds, and personal histories. Tillie and Gabe's chemistry is depicted as steamy and addictive, leading to a heartwarming resolution despite the obstacles. The narrative strikes a perfect balance of humor, love, real-life issues, and spice, portraying the characters as flawed yet relatable individuals. The friendly bartender competition and subsequent outings add depth to their evolving romance. The story, filled with witty dialogue and three-dimensional characters, explores the couple's journey of overcoming past baggage for a happier future.

This was a fine romance. I read this while on vacation and felt it was a good choice for a vacation read.

The wedding shake-up is a perfectly charming romance that is lighter than air and that has very little active conflict. I found it really entertaining.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!! I really enjoyed this book!

This was definitely a rom com and I loved everything about it. I have read a few of J J's books and I have not been disappointed yet.

i love love this writer, the way that she made me feel with the first instalment was another world. the plot was very good and I can't wait to read whatever she writes next. it was a lovely story and seeing my favourite couple get married was just what i needed it

This is a good book. The two main characters are Tillie and Gabe. They meet when Tillie’s sister is having a beach wedding just down the beach from Gabe’s hut. There is an instant attraction. Tillie has taken two weeks off for vacation on the island. They start dating. It gets to be the last day and they have to say goodbye. They work it out and fall in love.

*”Cocktail” movie vibe
*Cute, creative storyline
*Gets pretty spicy 🌶️-had to skip paragraphs
*Skimmed through the second half of the book because I started to lose interest

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

All the way, yes to this read, it was such a cute book and I loved how sweet and romantic this was, and with the spice it had to oh my gosh, I will definitely be reading more from this author and can’t wait to continue this series! Five stars

I received this book for free for an honest unbiased review from Netgalley.

I wish more books were this well written. Characters were witty and the setting fantastic.

This is the second book of the Wedding Meet Cute series. I have not read anything by this author before, but after reading this, I will definitely be going back and reading the first book. I had such fun reading it. It is a cute and sweet story that will having you smiling and laughing along the way through. Tillie travels to a destination wedding for her sister on La Jarra Island. While there, she meets a hot bartender, Gabe, who she first butts heads with but then the two are wildly attracted to each other and they start hanging out together. They both decide to keep it casual, since Tillie will be going back to Atlanta after the wedding. But the connection they share is deep and saying goodbye is harder than they thought.
A fun and flirty story, but not without its challenges! I enjoyed the relationship developing between Tillie and Gabe, they had such sizzling chemistry. And the banter between them was so much fun to read. A highly entertaining story I am glad to have had the opportunity to read!
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

The Wedding Shake-Up is the second book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. It was a fun book with a beautiful island setting, lots of fun bartending and great chemistry between the two leads. I liked Gabe and Tillie a lot, they are both recovering from childhood trauma and they bond over some of it. The fling seemed to grow organically into something more, even though it was pretty quick. I liked getting more of the other sisters as well and I hope the next book is Lila.

In this second book of the series, Tillie is at her sister's wedding at the beach when crabs invade. Her brother attempts to smash them when a grumpy local arrives and saves the crabs. After the wedding, Tillie arrives at his bar and realizes how delicious he is.
Gabe doesn't date, especially tourists but there is something about Tillie that he can't resist. When they propose to let their attraction see its course over her vacation, neither imagined how strong their attraction was to each other.
Opinion
This book is a great laugh out loud pick me up. I was entertained the entire time while reading and often found myself wondering what was going on with Tillie and Gabe when I wasn't reading. This is the perfect kind of book that lets you take a breather from real life and enjoy the lives of fictional characters.
This book is the first book I've read by Knight. I have seen the name many times on other books. Now that I've read this book, I'm questioning myself as to why I haven't read any more. I will be remedying that in the near future. Knight has a style that makes me giddy while reading.
Many thanks to Net Galley and to Montlake for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Tillie James is standing on a beautiful island watching her older sister marry the love of her life while the crabs start to migrate toward the ocean. She tries not to cause a panic looking at other guests to see if they see what see sees. Until all he’ll breaks loose when a herd of crabs are making their way to the ocean. That is when Tillie runs into the most unlikely person.

Gabe has lived on the island all of his life. One thing he doesn’t go is flings with tourists. He runs his bar on the beach and is happy with his life until the dark haired siren from the wedding arrives at his bar. Then he finds himself breaking all of his rules.

This cute read had me cheering for this couple the whole time. I was so happy to see them work through all of the issues they had pop up after they left the island. It was an enjoyable read.
