Wedding planner Teddi is shocked to realize that the beautiful sister of her new client is none other than her own ex-wife’s divorce attorney. The one who helped her take almost everything from Teddi. But neither of them can deny the attraction between them.

Maybe they can move past it. But trouble appears when it becomes clear that one of them believes in marriage and the other doesn’t (twist! The divorce attorney is the romantic and the wedding planner is the cynic).

This was a sweet F/F rom com. I enjoyed the story, although I did get confused about some of the secondary characters. Each of the leads has a friend group and they are similar enough that I couldn’t always tell which group we were with.

Teddi always believe in happily ever after but since her divorce she been jaded and have to rebuild her life especially when she loses most of her assets. When she meets Kelly who needs a wedding planner she jump at the chance for the job because she needs it.

Leah wants her sister Kelly to be happy and she believes everyone deserves happiness despite her being a divorce attorney. When Teddi and Leah meet they don’t realize Leah is the attorney who represent her ex Julia in their divorce that nearly cost her everything.

While they spend time together planning Kelly wedding they both feels a attraction although Teddi is a bit piss at Leah she comes to realize she was only doing her job. I like the dialogue between them as they got to know each other and that both had supporting characters who were there for them. This will make great rom-com enemies to lovers themes because you’ll be rooting for them see they are perfect together.


I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Kelly Scott, 31, was getting married. Her older sister Leah, 39, couldn’t be happier for her. In fact, she was so happy and supportive of her sister that she was helping pay for her sister’s wedding planner, Teddi Baker. Shortly after all three women met, it was discovered that Leah represented Teddi’s ex wife in their divorce proceedings and left Teddi near bankruptcy.

I liked how the author portrayed these characters as mature and intelligent, and they acted accordingly. I enjoyed their thinking process throughout the story as they solved their issues, such as whether or not to get involved with each other. The author used the movie You Got Mail to help Teddi decide to take a chance with Leah. After careful consideration, Teddi realized that as a divorce attorney, Leah was just doing her job. It was not personal.

It was also nice to see that even though they were both attracted to each other, they didn’t have a sexual relationship until they felt the timing was right. They got to know each other with insightful conversations and opened up emotionally to each other, especially Teddi, who knew that was one part of her that was lacking in her marriage to Julia. The angst moment was also justifiable and relatable. In keeping with the hopeless romantic theme, it was resolved with a cleverly written scene.

The secondary characters were likable and diverse. Both women had close and supportive family and friends. Kelly’s future in-laws were not the nicest, somewhat judgmental in their thinking. I liked how Leah wanted to give them a piece of her mind, but Kelly’s pleading eyes stopped her in order to keep the peace. It was so realistic and relatable I felt like I was sitting at one of my family dinners!

Hopeless Romantic was a very sweet story, well written, and thoroughly entertaining.

An ARC was given for an honest review.

Seriously? One of her best. I loved Teddi! Her inner thought were hilarious to me and Leah was so sweet. The story was great and I love a enemies to lovers story line. It never gets old for me because the tension in the beginning of the book is always great. I’d give this more than 5 stars if I could.

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. I love Beers and was not disappointed with this book. The plot was so refreshing that I immediately was engaged into the story. Teddie and Leah's chemistry was amazing, and I loved the conflict that they had at the beginning before they worked it out. This was a great romance that I will be re reading again for sure!

The premise of this book was definitely an original for sure! When Teddi and Leah had their first meeting, the chemistry between the two hopped right off the page. Kelly, Leah's sister hired Teddi to be her wedding planner, which meant that Leah and Teddi would be spending a lot of time together. During their second meeting, with their chemistry floating in the air, the characters find out that Leah represented Teddi's ex in the divorce. Teddi nearly went bankrupt from the divorce and she was bitter and salty. Over time, she realized that Leah was actually just doing her job, with the help of rom-com, You've Got Mail (It's not personal, it's business). What follows is a really sweet relationship development between our two main characters. I loved all of the rom-com references as I've watched them all over and over. The supporting characters really helped spice up the plot. This was a really cute story that made me smile over and over.

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
