Isn’t our
time precious? So when I somehow manage to carve out seconds of my day to read
a whole book in less than twenty-four hours, it is pretty safe to say that the
book was awesome! Very few stories have
earned this special treatment, but The Wedding Game by Amy Mayato rose to the occasion.
From the
very first paragraph she had me giggling. This caught me off guard. I thought
Ms. Mayato would have big shoes to fill if she wanted to continue to make me
smile. However, the author never missed a beat; she even had me laughing out
loud…more than once. That is an achievement in of itself!
Ellie, a sweet girl from Arkansas,
was so desperate for funds she entered a reality show for a chance to win
money. The catch, she’d have to be married to the world’s biggest jerk, even
his good looks couldn’t sweeten the deal. Marriage was sacred, Ellie knew that.
Nevertheless, she also knew if she didn’t win the show, there’d be bigger
problems; ones that would affect more than just her own personal life. Cannon,
the new husband, wasn’t too thrilled about being married to a hick from a state
in the middle of nowhere either. His father had gotten him into this mess, but
surely Cannon could fake a marriage long enough to earn his cut.
Sarcasm oozed off the pages. My eyes
were in a race to reach the next chapter; I just had to know what was going to
happen next. In a romantic comedy, one can typically foresee what is going to take
place, but The Wedding Game kept me on my toes. There was never a dull
moment or a time where I could be caught flipping forward to see how much more
I had to read to get to the next part.
The characters were so full of
personality and playful banter that it was easy to form an instant connection
with them. The language was very clean and the sexual content was mild. If you
enjoy humor, romance, or have ever been caught watching a reality TV show, this
book is for you! Overall, I would give The Wedding Game by Amy Mayato a 4.8 out of 5 stars.
Ms. Mayato has earned a spot on my
bookshelf,
and I'll be saving room for her next book too!
