This is the first book of the series that I read but I really liked the writing style of the author and the story between Jack and Celina.
You can read this as a standalone to understand what's going on but I will definitely read the others to get the full impact of the series.

This book was given by Netgalley for an honest review.

Sorry I was not able to read you book but it went to archive before I could get to it. Sorry once again.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this being about a prince getting married and all. The woman works for his grandmother. Never been a fairytale kind of a girl but the rock star aspect caught me.
This was cute. There was enough angst from Jonas’ grandmother the elder princess of San Michele the Serene Dowager Margaret or Maggie to family and friends. The story revolves around three best friends, roommates from grad school in Iowa. Jack Masterson, Jonas the prince, and their friend Celina Harris. With a bit of a catch.
Both men were smitten but it was Jack who was bold enough to approach. A good thing too. Because at the Frat party they attended he had to frog walk a frat guy out and toss him into the hedges for not listening to the word “NO!” When it was uttered by “Celie” as he likes to call her. He took her to his place to calm her down by playing his acoustic guitar for her. He played for hours. You see Jack was part of the local hot rock/jazz/blues band.
She felt safe and totally comfortable with him too. When she felt better he walked her home asked her out to the concert he was playing the next night. They became a couple. They get married she finishes grad school, Jack on the other hand signs a record deal and starts touring the world dropping out of grad school. They blow up. It’s time for her graduation he is supposed to be on his way home when he calls and says the manager booked a charity gig on graduation night. She’s disappointed but understands. He wants her to come out to Barcelona to be with him but she had invited her parents to come be at her graduation.
But she changes her mind and shows up. But there’s a problem when she gets there and she turns around goes home and files for divorce. He never goes after her or tries to contact her. Making her feel she wasn’t worth his time or effort.
So, two and a half years later when she is now working for Maggie and Joe is getting married, his fiancé and he run into Jack at his concert. Jack assumes that Joe wants him to be his best man like he was for theirs. Now there is a runaway train called Jack headed her way moving on the tracks toward Celina.
This book is funny and a fast read. The author made the characters enjoyable to read about even the ones that were ones you were not meant to like. I loved Maggie, Joe’s grandmother, she really made the story pop. I give this: 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com.

Short sweet and totally engaging, "The Best Man's Bride" is a quick and easy read that you can actually finish within days if you only have time to read it during your commute. Now, if you have time to actually sit or lie down, a few hours of rock & roll and royalty will keep you interested and occupied.

"The Best Man's Bride" is Rated T for Teens.

I have enjoyed every Anne McAllister book that I’ve read but up till now they’ve all been westerns. The Best Man’s Bride is set in the fictitious European principality of San Michele and is the fourth book in the multi-author Royal Wedding series.
This is a nice twist on the second chance at love trope and brings together Prince Jonas’ best man, rock star Jack Masterson and his former wife Celina. It can easily be read as a stand-alone novel or as part of the series.
I loved the way this story developed, with Jack relentlessly pursuing Celina, while she did her best to avoid him. Both Jack and Celina are beautifully developed and so easy to imagine. I felt for both of them as they overcame the various challenges to finding their happy ever after and when they finally got there I sighed with satisfied relief.

I was grateful to receive the Best Man's Bride in exchange for an honest review. Overall, I enjoyed the story. I originally thought this story was going in a completely different direction with Celina falling for the groom. Now that would have been a great plot with her ex husband, Jack trying to win her back. However, that was not the direction, author Anne McAllister went. Instead, Jack, the former husband gets another shot at winning Celina back into his life. The rock star theme was a little over the top, but overall, this was an entertaining read. I'd recommend to friends and family.

Really wanted to like this book but this book in the series drove me crazy!

I jumped straight into this series on book 4. I have no idea what happened previously but i do not feel as though i have really missed out on much.

Celina and Jack meet and marry very young, he is a wannabe rock musician and he saves her from an assault and they fall madly in love. A few years later Celina decides to surprise Jack on tour and walks into his hotel room to see a girl asleep in his bed and Jack emerging from the bathroom in nothing but a towel. Like any woman in the world Celina walks away and files for divorce.

2 years later and Celina is attending the wedding of her employers nephew and Celinas best friend. Jack is asked to be his best man and attends the wedding. Celina does everything she can to avoid Jack but it seems they have unfinished business.

I enjoyed this story, it was very easy reading, only took me a few hours, was easy on the brain, didnt require much thought, but was romantic and sweet.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for an Arc of this book.

This is the last book in the series and is a second change at romance story at which the couple split over a misunderstanding and not talking.

Celina has been in all of the previous books, however we only got to see a glimpse of Jack in the previous book as he talks to Ally Parker.

Both characters don't take long to reacquaint themselves, especially as Jack makes a point of singling Celina out and taking about the misunderstanding, he is also determined to get Celina back.

Its a light, sweet easy read without too much angst and quite a lot of romance and reconciliation with a good HEA.

Jack and Celina were once married but misunderstandings and the hectic life of a rock star pulled them apart. It’s been two years since the divorce was final and now they’ll be seeing each other for the first time in a very long time. Their love for each other has never really died, something Jack has long known and Celie is beginning to realize. Is it possible to get beyond everything that separated them once before to even dream of a second chance at happiness? That’s something Jack is determined to find out for he is still very much in love with his Celie and he suspects that she still loves him as well. Perhaps each being a bit older and hopefully wiser, they can mend the problems, clear up the misunderstandings and get that second chance at happiness together.

The Best Man’s Bride is an, at times, bittersweet look at what makes love go wrong – and the lengths one man in love will go to fix it. Jack and Celina were a believable couple facing some very real problems. No, I don’t know any rock stars but I do know people who are overwhelmed, I get that misunderstandings are going to happen and will cause damage if they aren’t cleared up. I do know that if two people won’t talk to each other they’ll never resolve anything. And these are things that Jack and Celie had to discover for themselves over different spans of time. Watching their second chance at happiness open up in front of them was an emotional, tender reading experience.

I’ve enjoyed the Royal Wedding Invitations series very much. All the stories are amazing with likable, realistic people facing unusual circumstances. If you haven’t picked any of these stories up yet I’d strongly recommend this series to any Romance reader.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

I really had trouble getting into the book initially and getting caught up in the emotions of the characters. The storyline was good, but it just didn’t stand out in my mind amongst other books in the genre. The blurb was great, but overall the book just fell flat for me.

Celina and Jack had been married but she hadn’t been enough for him. When she had walked into his Barcelona hotel room to find a woman she had waited around for excuses or lies ahe had left and filed for divorce Jack had done nothing to stop her nor had she heard anything from him. But Jonas- who was a prince- was marrying Hope and Jack was to be best man. Jonas offered to tell Jack he couldn’t be best man when Jonas came and told Celina. Jonas had found Celina and brought her back with him and helped her pick up the pieces of her life then helped her get a job with Maggie. Jack was to be best man but Celine said no. Jace was the singer, songwriter. And lead guitarist for the band South Face- one of the world's most popular rock-rhythm- blues bands. Celina found it hard to be dispassionate and indifferent to Jack. jack had always seemed larger and more vital than life and that hadn’t changed. Celina hadn’t seen Jack in two and a half years and she had been trying to convince herself the last six months that she didn’t know what she had seen in Jack. Celina knew she would see Jack eventually but just a glimpse of him let her know she hadn’t moved on as far as she had hoped as far as jack was concerned. Jack didn’t care about groupies he missed the woman he had married who had married him and left him. Jack had been deeply hurt when Celine wouldn’t talk to him or give him a chance to explain before she had left him and their marriage and that she hadn’t trusted him. Celina was doing her best to avoid Jack and Jack was doing his best to get away from the groupies/fans so he could talk to Celina alone. Maggie had known about Jack and Celina
I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick and easy read of a second chance romance. I liked the plot and pace.This book kept my interest with no problem. I do think Celina should have waited until she cooled off and talked to Jack before she had left. After all she had married Jack and marriage is a lot of work. Also if Celina loved Jack she should trust him enough to see what he had to say. If Jack really loved Celina should have gave Celina a little time and then found her and talked to her instead of giving her all that time to hurt and feel betrayed and he definitely should have got a hold of her before the divorce went through. I did like that we got to see both POVs. but also that Jack had gotten hurt and angry and didn’t just not care that he lost Celina. I loved Celina and Jack together. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend.

I couldn't make my self finish this book. It seems so predictable. .

This is the fourth instalment of the Royal Wedding Invitations series. There are four books that follow a story that started in the first book with Hope and Prince Jonas meeting and deciding to marry. Each book is written by a different author and focuses on a different couple from the main pairing of Jonas and Hope, to the two bridesmaids and finally the best man.

Written by Anne McAllister this book focuses on Celina Harris, aid to the Dowager Princess, and Jack Masterson, rock star and best man of the groom. He’s also Celina’s ex-husband. Celina and Jack had a misunderstanding two years before leading to Celina filing for divorce. They have not been in contact since that fateful night. Neither has stopped loving the other but can they put their anger aside and focus on a new beginning.

I found this to be a great second chance love story. It was light-hearted read with the right amount of angst. The characters are likeable and the story moves at a nice pace. I would recommend reading the series as a whole. While the books can be read as standalone, there are snippets of each romance in all the books.

Ahhhh Second chances... even for Rock Stars. Can this couple who were so right for each other... who loved and then lost due to a situation and conclusion made by the wife...Can these two years later actual communicate and clear up their painful past...

Rock star Jack Masterson hasn’t seen or heard from his ex-wife, Celina, in over two years and is surprised to find out she is attending his best friend’s wedding. But, Jack shouldn’t have been too surprised as Celina was also friends with Prince Jonas when they were in college. The biggest surprise is that Jonas kept it a secret that Celina was working as an assistant to San Michele’s Serene Dowager Margaret. Now if Jack can only convince Celina that he still loves her and wants her back, he will be a happy man.

Celina left Jack after walking in his hotel room and finding a girl in his bed. She didn’t stick around to listen to Jack’s excuses. She left, never looking back and filed for divorce as soon as she could. Celina is finally content with her life and doesn’t need a man in it. She gets the shock of her life when she sees Jack has arrived for the wedding.

Celina tries her best avoid Jack and not think about him. When Jack insists they spend time together it is hard for Celina to not remember the reasons they fell in love. And, the reason she left him. But Jack never got to tell his side of the story and hearing the truth just might change everything for Celina.

Jack and Celina never got to talk about what happened that night in that Barcelona hotel room. Celina just filed for divorce and Jack agreed to it. So I enjoyed when Celina finally found out the truth and was able to put it behind them. Their reunion was a bit tense at first, but I really liked seeing how they came to terms about the past and moved on to the future. The story was easy to follow and some areas surprised me. It was the perfect ending for this series.

Jack Masterson is a rock star with his share of groupies throwing themselves his way but he had never been interested in any of that. The one woman that did interest Jack had married him but left him two years before and he’s been living a lonely life since their big fallout. Now Jack finds himself being invited to be the best man at his friend, Prince Jonas’, wedding and wondering if he’ll run into his ex while there.

After two years Celina Harris is finally putting her life back together since her divorce. She’d taken on the job of appointment secretary to San Michele’s Serene Dowager Margaret and had tried a bit of dating with no luck. When Celina finds out that her ex-husband will be attending the royal wedding she’s a bit taken aback but knows she must do whatever she can to resist Jack’s charm and avoid heading back into the world of a rock star.

The Best Man’s Bride by Anne McAllister is the fourth book in the contemporary romance Royal Wedding Invitations series. The series consists of four books by various authors that follow a story that started in the first book with Hope and Prince Jonas meeting and deciding to marry. With each additional book though the main characters switch to another couple involved in the upcoming wedding and tell their story. With most romance series the changing of the characters means they are great as standalones but this one I’d suggest following from the beginning for the full story.

A bit of a different type of romance read with this installment of the series as it brings in a couple that definitely have a background in being that they were actually once married. Celina and Jack had a misunderstanding two years before with it leading to divorce and obviously from the first moments there is a connection there that never ended. Along with the relationship the book has some action and of course a lot of catching up with the wedding that had come about in the previous books.

In the end I found when finished this was a great addition and overall I enjoyed the whole series and how it continued the main story onwards in each book while having a completely different set up for each couple. I would definitely recommend checking out these quick romance reads that while different from one another it makes a great story when read together.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

The Best Man's Bride by Anne McAllister is the fourth book in the Royal Wedding Invitation. The first book was the story of the bride and groom with the last three books being about family and friends attending the wedding. This one is a second chance at love after the couple divorced two years ago.

Reconciliation is the theme of this book which has two likable, very human characters. Jack Masterson is a rock star and his former wife, Celina is now appointment secretary to San Michele’s Serene Dowager Margaret. Her job is perfect for her since she is well aware of egos and of people who are focused on their careers or responsibilities.

Anne McAllister does a fine job of showing all the trappings that come with celebrity status without portraying Jack as a bad guy. Still he is a better man now, wanting to win his former wife back. I can’t see this happening in real life, but it is a wonderful thought much like a fairy tale. Enjoyable read that you wish would happen more often in reality.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley.

This was a very enjoyable read! It's a great second chance story that is very well done. There are amazing characters that work beautifully together.

It's been two long years since Jack and Celie divorced but neither has really moved on. Mainly because they still love each other. When they are both invited to a royal wedding it's hard to deny that the sparks still fly between them but getting over the misunderstandings of the past will take some work. Are they up to it?

Definitely a book I recommend.

An invitation to a royal wedding for both Jack and Celina, who have not seen each other for two years after a misunderstanding that results in a divorce. Jack is a rock star, that can have any woman but he all he wants is his Celie back. Celie lives a solitary life working as a secretary for Michele's Serene Dowager Margaret, but her heart still belongs to Jack. Now can Celie resist Jack's charm to avoid hurt again.

A great second chance love story. Great characters that have been hurting and need to find their love again with communication. I highly recommend this book.
