Blog Tour: Review of The Wedding Crasher and the Cowboy by Robin Bielman

Author: Robin Bielman

Publisher: Entangled: Amara

Publication Date: October 2021

Kennedy Martin is shocked when her ex calls days before his wedding, expressing serious second thoughts. Doesn’t he see his fiancée’s actually the glaze to his doughnut? Now she’s got no choice but to crash his wedding and convince the man he’s with the right woman.
Instead, she crashes into the absolute last man she ever wanted to see: Maverick Owens, her old college nemesis. Maverick is still as awful, infuriating, and just The Worst as ever?even if he looks way too sexy in his cowboy hat. And of course he’s convinced she’s actually at the seaside ranch to ruin the wedding.
Now the only way to get some face time with the groom and save this marriage is to participate in all sorts of pre-wedding events…with Maverick. Stuck on a canoe, making small-talk at cocktail hour, and even a hoedown with her worst enemy? This just might be the longest week of her life…

My thoughts:

The Wedding Crasher and the Cowboy was a surprisingly emotional romance. I was expecting a more light hearted enemies to lovers story, but it was so much more than that. Kennedy and Maverick both had some baggage from their past. Maverick's was heartbreaking. His letters to his former girlfriend were full of sadness and grief. The story takes place over a week, but the main characters went to college together and have some history. I was rooting for Maverick to realize he could open up his heart again.

The story also has some wonderful secondary characters. I loved Maverick's family, especially his brother Hunter. I would love to see him get a story. I also enjoyed Kennedy's sister Ava and best friend, Andrew. He was hilarious. I definitely recommend this one.
