 It’s been a while since a rom com has made me so deliriously happy, emotional, and even cry. &Then They Wed is such a fun, cute, and hot story! I loved the way that the set up of the story started immediately and never felt like it was dragging. The characters were flawed in their own ways but I adored how the author didn’t make that their entire character arc, it was just a part of them that got worked on. The way the fmc and MMC complimented each other in terms of their personalities and their literal compliments made me SWOON. Rians possessiveness was hot without it needing to be a dark romance to be believable lol. I could wax poetic for days about how much I loved this book, but I won’t. If you’re looking for a rom com with South Indiana representation, that touches on some real subjects but also is cute enough that it doesn’t feel heavy, then you absolutely should read this book. Don’t read if you’re opposed to a cinnadom mmc and a fmc who speaks her mind and isn’t the least bit sorry about it, or if you HATE hot hot hot bedroom scenes. Plus did I mention there’s an entire chapter that is him groveling?

I received an ARC and am voluntarily reviewing this book.
