Archibald Hill is handsome, single, and he’s going to his best friend’s wedding ready to make a conquest or two. After all, everyone knows weddings are the perfect setting to get lucky.

Summer Knowles used to have a life—friends, family, a sister who’d do anything for her—until she blew it all away with a terrible mistake. Now, attending her twin’s wedding as the party’s undesirable number one seems like more than she can handle. So, when a tall stranger with smoldering ice-blue eyes offers her a therapy of seven nights of no-strings-attached fun, she might even ignore that he has a beard and accept.

Problem is, Summer has never been good at keeping sex and feelings separated…

Having met Archie in the previous book and Summer has been referenced at least in the previous two books in the series, it is wonderful to finally have them staring in their own story.   

This though can easily be read as standalone, I've read the whole series and didn't know that much about Archie and Summer before reading this book, and certainly not as well as I do now. 

What is clear though is that they have chemistry that is off the charts, and from their first meeting I was almost needing a fan to cool myself off, I had a feeling they would be that hot, if they indeed sleep together.  And let's just say I was right!! 

I loved the chemistry and connection between our leads, one is a ladies man who is a bit of a commitment-phobe, the other has been dreading this week, due to having to see all her old friends who have since shunned her after she made a terrible mistake.  But it's Summer's twin sister, Winter's wedding, so she is willing to grin and bear it just for her.  While Archie is Logan's best man, and isn't that keen on weddings himself! 

The chapters alternate from both viewpoints, so we really get to know what our romantic leads are thinking before each other.  The scenes featuring acro yoga were brilliant and I really enjoyed all the various activities that went into the wedding week in Napa. 

I was totally invested in Archie and Summer, and couldn't' get enough of them, I was thoroughly entertained by this book, and impressed that yet again Camilla Isley has written such fabulous romance which characters I could almost reach out and touch (or in Archie's case I ma have wanted to do a whole lot more to!). 

Thank you to the author for this cop which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
