Poppy Porter's ex is getting married ... to her ex-best friend. To land her dream job of partner in the most prestigious firm on the Upper East Side, Poppy must now pull double shifts as their wedding planner and maid of honor. And the icing on a truly craptastic cake? Leo Nass. Handsome, infuriating, womanizer, and … the best man. Despite their longstanding loathing, Poppy doesn't see Leo coming. Literally.
One ruined cake.
One archnemesis.
One hour to save the wedding.
Can they put their hatred aside long enough to save Poppy’s job and Bridezilla's head from exploding?
Piece of cake, right?

Excerpt:
I sneak closer to the bed, my heart pounding as I throw the pillow at him. The guy shifts in his sleep, and his breathing slows, but a beat later the snoring starts again and I have to resist the urge to scream. Instead, I raise my poker and jab the sheet covered body. It’s not hard, just a quick jab or two, but he still doesn’t stir. “Hey, asshole!” I shout, and whack him hard in the butt with my poker. The giant freak jumps up and seizes my hand. His grip forces me to drop my weapon. He yanks me toward him—on top of him—and this is how I find myself eye to eye with the beast. He breathes his heavy, stinking breath on my face, and I wince and wrinkle my nose. Leo’s eyes crinkle in the corners as he laughs. “Morning, Pop Tart.” “Get the hell out of my bed. And brush your goddamn teeth. What are you doing in my house, Nass?” “Ah, still feisty, huh? Is this like an all-day thing with you, or do you eventually turn from an angry sea witch into a person? Would coffee help?” “Fuck you, Leo.”“Darlin’, you wish.” “You’re disgusting. I wouldn’t touch you if—” “Yeah, yeah, if I were the last man on Earth. I’ve heard it all before, sweet cheeks, and I don’t buy it for a second.” He flips us so suddenly my head spins. I’m beneath him, my wrists pinioned to the bed above my head by just one of his strong hands. The other glides up my side. My sheets have twisted up around us, but from this angle it looks as if Leo Nass is very much naked in my bed. “Goddamn it,” I complain once I find my voice. “I’m going to need to burn these sheets after you leave.” His eyebrow quirks, and the grin he gives me is all-out salacious. He shifts his weight between my legs, then he drops his hips and grinds his erection against me. I’m stunned, speechless. I have no words. They’ve all left me because my brain has turned to mush and my vagina is the only one thinking, and I’m really not okay leaving her in charge. “Why burn them when we’re not done messing them up?”

My Review (ARC provided)
4 stars!

Poor Poppy! After being recently dumped by her fiance she's getting an invite to his and her ex best friends wedding. What could be worse? Asking to be the maid of honor in said wedding.

Leo the exes best friend and notorious manwhore is Poppy's enemy, they hate each other but when Leo finds Poppy in trouble he comes to her rescue.

They definitely have a unique and hilarious relationship. Leo can get under Poppy's skin like no other but when she needs a friend he's there for her, they are the term frenemies.

I love me a hate to lovers story. Poppy has many ups and downs and I loved how feisty and smart she was but I didn't like how she let her "friend" and her ex treat her. For as strong as she seemed she let the two of them walk all over her. I wanted to scream at her so many times to wake up and tell them no for this or that...but it's what made the story.

This is a cute story about an unlikely pair coming to terms with their relationship. Its has so many funny moments where I was just shaking my head laughing.

If you want a cute, funny, fast read I would recommend this!
