SYNOPSIS:
Hudson Hopper is in some trouble. After doing his business partner, Jude, a favor by hiring his younger sister, Sloane, Hudson very quickly finds out that she is a massive distraction―especially since she’s now his assistant.
But when they are confronted with a situation where Sloane is told to fill in as a bridesmaid for one of Hudson’s business partners, she comes up with an equal trade. She’ll be a part of the regency wedding–corset and all–if Hudson marries her. Sloane knows the value of the trade, he needs her, and she needs his wedding ring to get her into a high-society club that will further her career.
It’s an instant no from Hudson at first, but when she convinces him that no one will find out, including her brother, and he will benefit from the marriage too . . . well, Hudson finds himself saying “I do.”

REVIEW:
Bridesmaid by Chance by Meghan Quinn was a hilarious, heart-fluttering best-friend’s-sister rom-com that delivered all of the grumpy/sunshine, age-gap, forbidden tension and swoon-worthy moments! This marriage-of-convenience romance paired Hudson, the irresistibly brooding billionaire, with Sloane, his whip-smart assistant—who’s had a long-time secret crush on him and also happens to be his best friend’s little sister. Their chemistry was pure fire, sparking with every sharp-witted exchange and loaded glance, while the forced proximity of their fake marriage dialed the steam to unforgettable levels.
Quinn’s signature humor shines as Hudson and Sloane navigate their tangled web of growing feelings, loyalty, and the hilarious chaos of keeping up appearances. The banter was razor-sharp, the sexual tension is palpable, and the emotional vulnerability beneath their antics added an emotional punch. With her perfect blend of laugh-out-loud moments and heartfelt depth, Quinn crafted a story that was playful, passionate and packed with the kind of love that sneaks up when you least expect it.
I listened to the audiobook, narrated in duet by Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin, a naturally charismatic pairing who both delivered authentic performances that brought these fictional characters to life in my ears. As addictive as it was uplifting, I burned through two sets of Air Pods as I devoured this amusing and entertaining romantic comedy. Bridesmaid by Chance by Meghan Quinn gets 5 smooches from me!
