This is a great series and I really enjoyed this story. I love the friends to lovers dynamic these two have together.

Molly's brother's best friend Sean is also her best friend.
She couldn't cross that line even though he was her biggest crush. But just this once they cross the line, can they go back?
Molly was having issues with her roommate and Sean couldn't stand her free loading roommate. So while they are attending Molly's brother and his best friends wedding, he moves her roommate and he moves in without telling her.
Molly has multiple jobs to pursue of owning a building and his roommate is not helping. When she comes back to her apartment, she finds her roommate gone but someone else moved in without her knowledge. She never thought Sean would move in. Sean is heir to Chicago's luxury chain hotel and he does have his own room but why would he move into her apartment.
Sean has very different idea of marriage. He has list of qualities he is looking for in a marriage but all his friends know he is not ready to settle with any girl he sleeps with and Molly knew that so well. She valued his friendship more than anything and she knew she would never be his ideal candidate. So she wanted him out and she heavily flirts with him but it backfires on her.
Now they will give in just once and go back to being best friends. They have crazy chemistry and everything is more than what they expected however once won't be enough for both of them. Will they last or is it just a fling?
Molly and Sean's chemistry is crazy hot and they are so perfect for each other even though Molly and Sean have their own issues they will have to deal with. Their friendship and love is so much better than her brother's. I liked this one so much better than the second one. Their banter is fun and sweet. It is great read for summer.
Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebook Casablanca for ARC in exchange for honest review.

Yay! A fantastic read from a new-to-me author! it was so fluffy and romantic. I can't wait to read more books from her!!

Just this Once, book 3 in Mira Lyn Kelly's Wedding Date series, is a wonderful friends to lovers romance. Sean Wyse III is the heir to a chain of luxury hotels, but when it comes to Molly he gets to just be himself, Sean. When Sean realizes Molly's roommate is taking advantage of her, he takes action by removing the roommate and moving himself in instead. In spite of Molly being the little sister of Sean's best friend, romance ensues. The way Sean and Molly juggle their friendship, family, and new found relationship makes this book a delightful read. I look forward to investing in the rest of the series.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

I'm really late with my review, but I can say with sincerity....AMAZING!! Do yourself a favor and start with the first in the series and continue to the last one. I promise you won't be dissatisfied or disappointed.

You can't go wrong with Ms Kelly.

I loved this book! Wonderful characters and lots of emotion. It was great to see all the other characters, This series is great!

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.

I really like The Wedding Date series so I was excited to get my hands on the third book! And it delivered a solid read. The hero and heroine (Sean and Molly) are fantastic and really make this book stand out. Sean could be infuriating at times but in a good way! And Molly was refreshing! I like how they came together. I'm not always a fan of friends to lovers but this was a solid one. Definitely recommend!

This book was enjoyable, if not entirely memorable. I will certainly check out other books in the series.

I really wanted to love this book. I really wanted to like this book. I just could not connect with it, at all. It just fell flat for me and left me feeling meh.

Friends to lovers. Molly has a secret crush on her brother's friend Sean. Sean is heir to a chain of luxury hotels and wants to marry someone of elite class.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

This was hard for me to rate. On the way the story flowed alone, I would have given it 4 stars. But, Molly ruined a big chunk of the story with her "OMG he couldn't really like me". Sean and Molly were friends for years, and it took Sean moving in for the feelings to come to the surface. I feel like Molly made it seem like Sean never had feelings for her, but when the "big reveal" happened, he talked about having feelings for her too. Maybe not since she was 15, but I felt like it was unfair to Sean that Molly acted like she did. Molly projected her insecurities onto the situation, and made Sean keep it a secret. She knew it hurt Sean to do it, but she didn't really think about his feelings. The whole "I'll make a decision for the other person because I know best" thing always bugs me. Molly should have had a discussion with Sean about everything instead of pushing him away. I REALLY wish there was a confrontation between Sean and his mother. That situation felt glossed over. I do think that Sean and Molly belonged together when Molly got over her self. I liked the ending, and I would like to see what happens with Brody.
I voluntarliy reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

I loved reading Thomas’s The Hollow Of Fear, but I was more-than-happy to sink into a thorough romance-romance, emotional, sexy, with a clear line to the HEA, littered with dark little moments. Though the day-job continues to be an albatross, I took a lot of time in my evenings to finish Kelly’s Just This Once, book three in The Wedding Date series. Like the others, Just This Once opens with the hero at the previous book’s hero and heroine’s wedding; it concludes with his own. A premise that’s a tad twee, but I forgive because the novels often win me over. In Just This Once, hotel-owning-rich-boy hero, Sean Wyse of the Chicago Hotel Wyse chain, is best-manning his guy best friend’s wedding, Max Brandt’s. His side-kick and ever wedding date is the friend of his heart and youth, Max’s younger sister, Molly. Sean and Molly’s friendship is immature, but kind of fun. He teases, she torments; they pretty much behave like two teens who secretly harbor crushes and take them out in silly pranks. Everyone in their friendship circle, the past and future heroes and heroines of Kelly’s series, look upon their shenanigans with affection and amusement. The silliness being given a critical nod, I liked how Kelly also built in true camaraderie, compatibility, and affection into the group’s relationships and a lovely tenderness between Sean and Molly, despite the occasional sophomoric behaviour.

While Max and Sarah marry, Sean has set in motion a protective action that he knows will have Molly going ballistic. He and Max have been on her case to kick out her freeloading roommate, which her softie heart resists. Sean has paid him off to leave and, with his hotel condo under renovation, has set himself up as Molly’s roommate, ensuring that the money she needs comes in the form of his rent money to her. Though Sean and Molly have always shared a physically affectionate relationship, the proximity of living together cracks the veneer of “just friends” to expose their friendship’s “in love” aspect that neither confronts. Once this sets in, Kelly’s novel moves from sophomoric to sexy gravitas, with vulnerabilities, fears, and needs on Molly and Sean’s parts that make for a much better second half to the novel.

Molly and Sean are likeable characters, especially when we get to know what motivates them to keep their friendship only a friendship, or when attraction and desire overtake them, friends with benefits. Benefits only doesn’t last long as neither is emotionally frivolous when it comes to the other. Sean is a man who has grown up in a cold, calculating family; his outlet for affection, family-feeling, and care has always been his friendship with Molly, Jase, Max, Brody, and now their wives. In particular, his friendship with Molly is his “I-can-be-me” safe space. He doesn’t want to jeopardize that. Molly, on the other hand, has kept her love for Sean and broken heart forEVAH. She wants him, but doesn’t want to lose his friendship. Moreover, the “class” particular to their lives plays a role in their now-more-complex relationship. Molly didn’t grow up destitute, but she definitely has to work hard to manage a viable living. Indeed, she works three jobs: creating websites, running her own cleaning company and doing a lot of the cleaning herself, and working nights at Brody’s bar. When she and Sean become lovers, her social and economic status insecurities see her keeping Sean at an emotional distance. It’s difficult to pull off a contemporary cross-class romance, but Kelly has done so. In an America where money is all, but class lines are still blurry “friendship-wise”, I believed Molly’s hesitations.

What begins as a fluffy rom-com turns into something a lot more interesting. The money issues between Molly and Sean aren’t dismissed. A hint of them lies in Sean’s cavalier assumption, to start, that he can take care of Molly’s money problems by bulldozing his way into her financial needs and fixing them. His original actions will come to haunt him, as their relationship transforms into something profound and necessary. While Sean looks like someone with some dick moves, Kelly manages to balance a great ratio of sexy alpha with emotional vulnerability in his characterization. Sean may be confident in the bed and boardroom, but his emotional vulnerability makes him all kinds of adorable. Molly, on the other hand, is emotionally-savvy, great at taking care of herself, and navigating Sean’s needs with her own sense of self and independence. She is helpless before her inferior social and economic status and Sean has to find a way to win her without sacrificing her dignity. It makes for a wonderful HEA. I loved the first in the series, May the Best Man Win, with its sparring protagonists; I wasn’t that crazy about the second, The Wedding Date Bargain, and adored Just This Once, the third. Am anticipating number four! With Miss Austen, we say that Just This Once is evidence of “a mind lively and at ease,” Emma.

Mira Lynn Kelly’s Just This Once is published by Sourcebooks Casablanca. It was released on October 2nd and may be found at your preferred vendor. I received an e-galley of Just This Once from Sourcebooks Casablanca, via Netgalley.

Cute story, not one of my favorites by this author. I like a good friends-to-lovers or secret crush book, but the Molly vacillated back and forth on her feelings about Sean kind of grated on my nerves after a while.

Molly used to have a huge crush on her best friend, Sean, who is also her brother's friend. But she's over it (not really), so when Sean moves himself into her place after kicking out her freeloading roommate, she's sure they can manage. But, can they really when those old feelings pop up and lines start blurring between them? And when they dive into a fwb situation, it has the potential to get ugly, especially because Molly refuses to let Sean tell her brother they're together.

While I normally love friends to lovers and brother's friend romances, I'm afraid this one didn't really do much for me. I just could not really connect with their story. I thought it was sweet, and I liked Sean, but Molly irritated me a lot. She was so wishy washy and hot and cold with Sean, and it drove me bonkers! So, while sweet, this one just did not work for me I'm afraid.

I enjoyed this book! I look forward to reading more from this author. I already followed on amazon and downloaded other books. Thank you.

Molly and Sean’s story in Just this Once was such a fun addition to the Wedding Date books!

Sean and Molly come from very different backgrounds but I loved their differences so much. Molly was so easy for me to relate to.

They were a fun a flirty couple, and Mira Lyn Kelly just knows how to come up with stories that are easy to read, flow seamlessly, and make you want to stay up way too late past your bedtime to finish.

Adored this story. Cannot wait for the next one!

I am so over the moon right now. This book had me on a high the whole time I was reading the story. I hadn’t read a book in one total sitting in a long time but this book was just impossible to put down. I was reeled in at the very beginning and with every chapter I just wanted more and more and more. Absolute one of the best books/series I’ve read of 2018. I would absolutely recommend this book to all book lovers out there and I’m so excited for more books to come from this series and this fabulous and talented author 😊

I really enjoyed this smart, funny, sweet rom-com and can't wait to read the other books in the Wedding Date series.
Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

A fabulous friends to lovers story that was heartwarming and sweet! and it has two of my favorite tropes: friends to lovers and forced proximity! Emotional, funny and sexy, this book ticked all the romance reading boxes I have, and I loved every minute of reading it.
