When a wedding invitation arrives, most people are excited, but not for someone who does not have a date. THE WEDDING DATE introduces us to Alexa and Drew. These two successful young professionals have put their careers first and their love lives on the back burner. Alexa and Drew have everything they could possibly want, except love.

Alexa is smart, loyal, and goal oriented with everything from her career, her friends, and especially her family. However, with all this loyalty she sometimes jumps to conclusions causing her to feel insecure. This insecurity makes her hesitant to step outside the box and take a chance. Throughout THE WEDDING DATE you will see her grow and become more daring. She even goes on a "fake" date, starts a long-distance relationship, and takes on a massively challenging project at work. You will love seeing her adventurous side come to life!

Drew is the complete opposite of Alexa. He is a dedicated and hard worker, but loves to play even harder. He avoids relationships at like the plague because commitment downright scares him. This is why he is known as the heartbreaker. When he meets Alexa for the first time something changes. He seems to become softer and his heart seems to melt a little. I had a love, hate feel for Drew at the beginning of this novel but after a few chapters you see a different side of Drew that made me change my opinion of him.

THE WEDDING DATE seems to mainly revolve around the amazingly steamy romance between Alexa and Drew making this the perfect read for a cold winters night snuggled in a blanket with a cup of hot tea. The romance is sure to warm your heart and the drama between these two will make you laugh out loud. Guillory's writing is descriptive and really establishes the connection between the two. Showing lots of emotions as they struggle to find balance with communication issues of a long- distance relationship, managing their careers, friendships, romance, and not really knowing where their relationship stands. The characters are well developed with intriguing backstories that help to explain the reasons for the way some of the characters act/respond a certain way.

Overall, an enjoyable read that is a perfect addition to your romance collection.
