First off this was an amazing book and I highly recommend it. This is my first book by this author and I was not disappointed. It was a little hard for me to get into at the beginning, but I kept at it and ended up loving it way more than I thought I would. Addie and Tucker and amazing and so perfect for one another. I felt like I was on an emotional roller-coaster and found myself laughing (out loud) and even crying at certain parts. I struggled to find a connection with Addie at first, but as she slowly started to embrace her girlishness, I started to like her more. I wish the book could go on forever and would love for there to be more books to follow this group of friends... or even a follow up with Addie and Tucker.

Addie has been one of the guys for as long as anyone can remember. However they are growing up and girlfriends are coming into the picture and she is having to realize that this isn't the norm and deal with the fallout. The first in their group pops the question and convinces his fiance to allow Addie to be a groomsman.

Not only is this change happening but also one the guys, Tucker is moving home and she starts to see him in a different light. He has always been the one she got into trouble with as a kid/teen but now things just seem different.

Tucker feels it too, but do you take a chance with someone who your grew up with and is your best friend just to see if you can work. What if things don't go well?

I adored this couple. The author did an amazing job at pulling the reader in to make them understand the friendship between these two characters and also with the group. My heart hurt for both parties when decisions were being made and hurt words were being said. Mrs. Madsen made you feel for these characters and made you completely invested in the outcome.

This was a fun and lighthearted read. I enjoyed it,

I had such a great time reading this book. I liked the idea of Addison being the only girl in a group of male friends. They don't give her special treatment. She isn't fragile and doesn't need protection which is good and bad because sometimes they guys are a little bit rude to her. I always had a sweet spot for tomboys characters. Perhaps due to the fact that I grew up surrounded by boys (three male siblings that annoyed the hell out of me) and I was a tomboy myself.

This is one of those small southern town, everybody knows your business 'cause all they have to do is go to the town gossip, Mrs. Lottie, feel good stories. Even the Southern conversations are written correctly. I know, because I'm from the South and that's exactly how I talk. I just love authenticity! It's a quick read, the pages filled with laugh out loud antics and some truly gut wrenching moments. Grandma Nonna is a hoot! Take a trip to Uncertainty, Alabama and fall in love with the townsfolk there. If you're a fan of Cindi Madsen you can't miss out on this one and if you've never read any of her work "Just One of the Groomsmen" is the perfect one to start with!

This had all my emotions all tangled up. A sweet story of a group of tight knit friends. Addie and Tucker have been friends since childhood. He moves back to their small town and realizes how much he really missed Addie. His feelings have changed from more then friends and that’s when things begin to get complicated. It’s a sweet fun easy read.

Do you ever need that guaranteed book to make you smile? The one that delivers just what it promises? This is that kind of book.

It's a cute story about "one of the guys" who's really a girl. Addison has a tight knit group of friends who all just happen to be guys. She ends up developing chemistry with one of the boys when he returns home after being gone for a while. The friendship dynamic is challenged for both. They have to decide if the risk to the friendship is worth it and the risk to the dynamic of the friend group.

Honestly, at the beginning I wasn't expecting much from this book. Addison was a little too non girly and didn't seem to get that you can be one of the guys and still have a girlish side. It follows certain tropes and doesn't give you too many surprises in that. However, as the book progressed there was more character development than I was expecting. It's a fun book that is meant as just that. The friend group came alive. Addison also developed and also learned the value in having female friends that accept her for who she is. That was unexpected and enjoyable to watch develope.

All in all it was a fun read that delivered just what it promised. It's a friend to lovers story and I would continue to read on if the author wrote more about this friend group and we got to catch up with Tucker and Addison in the future as side characters.

I so enjoyed this story. The characters are so engaging and real. I love the closeness and the humor the author brings to life through each character during tough situations and oh my gosh such funny situations.
This is a story of friendships, of family, and of small-town life. How the five different characters, Addie a physical therapist, Tucker a lawyer, Easton town sheriff, Ford a firefighter, and last but not least Shep a superintendent of the local school district. As kids, they ran in a pack. Never once noticing Addie is a girl. She did all the sports they did. The district put their foot down at football though.
The town pick-up game is brutal she mans up and guys watch out she will ploy you down. Still does to this day plays a mean game. On this night a special poker night had been called than their regular game night and all members were to be there no matter what. She needed to meet with them. Addie was excited mostly because she would get to see Tucker.
Ever since he took a job with the law firm in the city, over two hours away, communication had been scarce. So, when she arrives on the houseboat early the impact is huge. It was like her lost puzzle piece that had been found. They find out as a group that it would be changing again because Shep asked Lexi to marry him.
Which worries Addie. If she will even be allowed in the group because Lexi barely liked her but now as her fiancé, it is now a totally different animal. Shep, asks them all to be groomsmen and they are all happy to do it but Addie especially when she hears she has to wear a dress like the bridesmaids and heels.
When Tucker plans a surprise home visit with his friends and on his way the are ladies on the side of the road he, of course, has to stop to assist. When he gets to the car there are a great pair of legs under the car in a pink dress with and all the other ladies are talking at once when the spokesperson for them says she doesn’t think the one under the car knows what she’s doing. When said lady speaks he knows the voice.
Holy Sh-t it is HIS ADDIE! When did she become a girl? No, it can’t be his Addie wouldn’t be in a dress. When she pops up and it is, saying they need a tow.
You will want to read this book. The story is cute. Like meeting for the first time yet you’ve known each other forever. But how well? There is a lot of humor, but the serious parts will gut you too.

This was a cute novel -- a bit overwritten and overly complicated in some parts, but overall a fun read. I thought the relationships were well developed and liked the location. Based on this novel, I might pick up the next book by the author.

Friends to lovers, one of my favorite tropes! This book had a great blend of humour, friendship and emotions that I was engrossed from beginning to end. The characters were well developed and the secondary characters had enough personality to add humour and interesting relationship dynamics to the story. While this was the first book by Cindi Madsen that I've read, it shall not be the last, and I truly hope that the other group members will get their own stories as well. Overall, a very enjoyable story. * I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a pretty good friends to lover romance. It was a little bit of a slow start for me. Addie is just one of the boys not very comfortable being a girl. Not, so sure she knows how These group of friends meet again when one of them is getting married and she is asked to be a "groomsmen" Addie is closer to one of the guys, Tucker than she is to others. These 2 begin to spend more time together and realize that they are sexually attracted to each other. I was a little disappointed in the fact that Addie had so much self doubt and many of her close circle fed into that. You can be one of the guys and girlie too. It's called being comfortable in your own skin. Its a quick read and does have some funny dialogue.

The book as a bit slow in the beginning but, the I stuck with it. The two main characters, Addie and Tucker, have grown up with each other and know each others secrets. Addie has always been "just one of the guys" in her group of close friends. William Shepherd is getting married and has asked Addie to be in the wedding - as a groomsman only she will need to wear a dress. Addie is reluctant to try wearing a dress, but will do anything to see one of her closet friends smile / on his blessed day of marriage. Tucker quits his job in the city and decides to move back to his home town - to be closer to his buddies and Addie. He has missed the closeness he always shared with Addie.

Addie has been introduced to the dentist - to date due, to he is the only eligible male that is single and around her age. The problem is that her buddies see him as a leech - someone who only looks at Addie as a conquest - to bed her. Tucker finds himself wanting to check the dentist - punch his lights out due to the way he looks at Addie. Addie is afraid that she will always be "just one of the guys" and never find a partner to love, marry and settle down and have children with.

Tucker is afraid to fall in love unless he has all his finances in order - he believes his parents broke up over this reason. What he learns though is love waits for no one. When it's real you make adjustments, and do everything you can to keep the love going, Tucker learned the hard way... and it almost cost him his happiness and Addie.

Please read the story and enjoy the journey.

This book was well written and had me at first read lol. I felt as if I knew these characters. Addie is best friends with many guys but is in love with one of her male best friends. The friendships and romance were interwoven perfectly. This was my first time reading a book by Cindi Madsen and it won't be my last. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this beautiful book.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a decent friends to lover romance. Addie is a tomboy with a close relationship to several childhood boys. She's especially close to Tucker who is now back in town for one of their friends wedding. Things get more serious between them when Tucker realizes he's sexually attracted to her. This novel would have been great if it weren't for the fact that 50 percent of the time Tucker has to remind Addie about how sexy she is and she has to deflate all the comments about her being less of a girl. Her relative even asked her if she was lesbian. Just ridiculous. And it took away from the story because she was self conscious about her appearance and her appeal to Tucker.
I just wish she was more confident and that those around her didn't question her appeal. Tomboy doesn't mean unsexy or gay.

Addison Murphy is pretty awesome. She's a lady and everyone seems to forget that.
Now, in their tight knot group of friends, she's a groomsman. She's comfortable in her skin, and comfortable with her skills.

Tucker sees Addison and would like to pursue her.
Things are bumpy, though and he kind of blows it.
Will she give him a second chance?
Tucker has a lot to make up for....

This is a classic best friends fall in love. We all have that one friend we grow close to and wish there could be more, but are so afraid of taking that chance and losing the friendship we have. This is what this book is like. Some of the feelings are retold which can get a bit old, but all in all it was a good read. Lots of emotions from both ends of the spectrum were used as well.

This was a feel good friends to lovers, the growing up pain when things change and what to do about it. I loved the story, the commradery of all the "guys" and most of the events.
There was the emotional turmoil which got rather old after repeating a few times and it loses my interest when all the mind thoughts take over, getting nowhere, so I may have skipped a few pages, but that may be my impatience.
This was about Tucker and Addison as the mains, but had a lot of Shep and Lexi with their wedding being planned. Addison and Lexi became friends, so all around I liked that those two got to be good female friends, something new and good for Addie.
There was a lot of humor infused throughout, which I love, and always adds goodness to anything.
I received an ARC thru NetGalley and am giving my honest thoughts freely

I have never read a Cindi Madsen book, but this will not be my only one. I loved every minute of this fun story. The chemistry between Tucker and Addie had me not wanting to put the book down. I also loved the side cast of characters. This group of friends seems like a group I would love to have. Small town charm and lots of fun! I hope there are more books in this series because I would love to visit Uncertainty, Alabama again!

I really enjoyed this story! Cindi Madsen is a new to me author & I will be reading more by her. I love her breezy way of writing & conveying emotion without being heavy handed. She managed to perfectly describe their bunch of friends & express the feelings of family that I sensed about them. It really illustrated the guilt they both felt about possibly crossing the line & if it would change the groups dynamics. What I loved the most was the relationship that developed between Lexi & Addison. Lexi started out with the bewilderment & suspicion that most women would have felt. The trust she gave to both Shep & Addison really moved me. It would have been easier to demand that Addison not be part of the wedding. This book was completely about relationships & the emotions they put you through.

Addison is the perfect tomboy fitting in with the rest of her gang. She’s just “one of the guys”. She loves the town she lives in & being there for her friends & family. She really loves her career, just not where she works. She’s stuck in a rut in all ways, including dating. Living in a small town limits the number of single eligible men that she is exposed to.

Her best friend & conspirator, Tucker, just moved back into town. After law school, he’d taken a job with a big firm & ended up disillusioned & burnt out. After quitting, he moved back & looked at Addison with new eyes. Should he make a move or respect the lines that have always been unconsciously drawn? After what happened between his parents, Tucker didn’t want anything serious until he was in a certain financial status. Doesn’t he know love never strikes when you’re ready for it?

Can your best friend become your boyfriend? Can you cross that friend to lover line and still be friends? These questions are asked and agonized over in Just One of the Groomsmen. Addie has been one of the guys since she was in grade school. Four guys, one girl, best friends for their whole lives. No one wants those dynamics to change. No one want their friendships to cross over into awkward. Friend? Lover? More? Read and find out! Great Read!
