Super fun read! I enjoyed the enemies to lovers element of this story. Hadley and Will had great chemistry. I recommend this book if you are looking for a light-hearted rom-com.

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

this was my first Avery Flynn book and I will be looking forward to reading more titles from this Author. I had quite a few giggles and belly laughs with this fun easy to red tale. Hadley is a surprisingly strong character and stands up for herself, which I love, the cat and mouse between Hadley and Will was enjoyable throughout, you never quite know if it will work out. Highly Recommended. Easy to read hard to put down.

This is the fourth book in the Harbor City series, and while I hadn’t read the previous books I was able to dive into this one without any problems. I enjoyed this one so much I’ll for sure be going back to read the rest of the series though!

Our leading lady, Hadley Donavan has to go home to Nebraska for her sister’s wedding, something she is not looking forward to….because, well family can be a lot. Thanks to some poorly-timed food poisoning and a bit of conniving, instead of her best friend turning up to be her buffer, his brother shows up. And oh how she loathes every smokin’ hot inch of him. How two brothers (and twin brothers at that) can be so different is beyond her. But somewhere amidst all the pre-wedding events and family chaos, Will starts to shift from annoying to alluring.

This book was really fun, and y’all know how much I love an enemies to lovers trope, plus this book also has the one-bed situation which always spells trouble (in the best possible way)! I also thought the two main characters had great chemistry and there was lots of sassy dialogue (both spoken and internal), which I always enjoy. I’m not going to lie, there were a few times I wanted to slap the characters for doing dumb things, but there were also a lot of laugh-out-loud moments as well.

The book is told from both Hadley and Will’s points of view, which is great because you get to know what each of them is thinking, be a part of their ‘ah ha’ moments and see where they’re having miscommunications too.

In addition to really enjoying the main characters, I really loved Hadley’s family as well. Funny, sweet, no-nonsense folk I’d love to spend a weekend with. This is a great feel-good romance you should definitely check out.

The Wedding Date Disaster
By Avery Flynn

A fun enemies to love trope about a small town girl pretending to have made it with a perfect life and a boyfriend in tow. I thought the writing was fun and engaging with some lovely laugh out loud moments. I found that the characters had good chemistry and great banter. I enjoyed the secondary characters and Hadley's family and the attraction between Hadley and Will was just mesmerizing. Overall an enjoyable book and a fun escape read I had fun reading.

This is a cute in where Hadley Donavan needs a date for her sisters wedding and is expecting her best friend Web, but instead Will his identical twin brother is duped into going, Web is fed up of his brother and his best friend being at odds and hopes this trip sorts everything out.

Hadley has a big heart and has never known why Will has never liked her and when he tells he he thinks she is a gold digger and wants Web for his money she just ignores him and acts her usual self, to which Will finds intoxicating and falls hard for her.

It is only a missunderstanding (of course) aftermath getting together and starting being a couple that has Will reading and not letting Hadley talk and set him straight. In the end when they are back in Boston, it is Webb who acts as facilitator and best friend and brother to get the stubborn people in his life back together, though Will does his best to stuff up again.

Its a sweet romance, and PawPaw and his friends certainly seem like great secondary characters. I'm hoping down the line that Web gets a book too and that Hadley sister gets a HEA too.

Entertaining fun story of enemies to lovers. Enjoyed the characters and the farm setting. Hadn't read this author before - will be looking forward to reading more.

Hadley has enlisted her BFF Web to accompany her as her pretend boyfriend and date for her sister's wedding. When Web gets food poisoning, his twin brother Will shows up to take his place as Hadley's date. Will is convinced Hadley is a gold digger, and he is determined to keep her away from Web. The problem is that he begins to wonder if he maybe misjudged her as the sparks begin to fly proving that there is a thin line between hate and love.

Cute hate to love romance.

The Wedding Date Disaster is a fantastic fake dating, twin swap, and enemies to lovers romantic comedy. Hadley has been faking her lifestyle to her family, so when her sister's wedding requires her to come home, she enlists her best friend to pose as her boyfriend. Well, Will is Hadley's best friend's twin brother and take his place when he gets sick before the trip. Hadley and Will do not have a good relationship, but at the same time, they secretly lust after each other. As the journey evolves, Will and Hadley find out that they have a lot of misconceptions about each other as well as secrets from Hadley's family. Their attraction jumps off the page, and Hadley's family is so much fun! I enjoyed this read.

Hadley and her best friend Web’s twin brother Will have been at odds since the moment they met. As far as Hadley is concerned, Web is the good twin and Will is the evil twin. Web gets tired of his brother and his best friend constantly sniping at each other and decides to take action.

Feigning food poisoning, Web tells Will that he will need to fill in for him as Hadley’s fake boyfriend at Hadley’s sister’s wedding. Will reluctantly agrees to the scheme, much to Hadley’s displeasure when she finds out. Can two “enemies” get past their fears and realize that they are really perfect for each other?

I love a good pretending to be lovers and them falling in love story, but I just couldn't get into this one. There was zero chemistry between the characters and the dalogue was often cringey. I found myself actively rolling my eyes several times. Honestlky, I skimmed through most of the last quarter, I just wasn't feeling it.

Overall I quite enjoyed this book, it was a light fun summer read. I did like Hadley and Will and they certainly were entertaining but they also annoyed me a little bit. Almost all of their inner monologue seemed to be how much they hated the other person but ooo look at how hot their ass is at the same time. Will also really started to bug me with constantly thinking Hadley was a gold-digger with literally no evidence. All that being said it was still a fun read and I loved all of their interactions with her family, especially when they first go to see Paw Paw.

A very enjoyable enemies to lover story. Hadley and Will do not get along. He thinks she is after his twin brothers money but is attracted to her regardless. She calls Will the evil twin and is so frustrated by him. But is attracted to him regardless. Their chemistry is undeniable and will curl your pages. The road to HEA is a fun, bumpy one, and I'm hoping for a bool about Web.

Hadley Donavan is a Nebraska girl who left the ranch to live in the “big” city. She’s been working and loves her job, but her best friend’s brother shows up to an event that will make or break her next promotion. They are arguing, but end up getting caught kissing in the coat check and Hadley gets fired instead of getting a promotion.

Will Holt is a man who has been hurt by gold-diggers in the past. He is attracted to Hadley but refuses to admit it. He’s talked himself into hating her and treats her like shit. He is determined to get her away from his brother, Web, and prove that she’s just after his millions.

Web is supposed to be Hadley’s wedding date for her sister’s wedding in Nebraska. She wants a buffer so that her family won’t ask too many questions and she can have an excuse to not spend too much time with them. Unfortunately, Will ends up attending when Web gets food poisoning. Hadley is furious but has no choice but to deal with him for the week that they are in Nebraska.

I can’t say that I read too many haters-to-lovers romances and now I know why. I don’t like them. I don’t like that the “heroes” always end up treating the heroines like crap and it just makes it harder for them to redeem themselves. In this story Will really liked Hadley, but was jaded by his past and couldn’t believe that she was just friends with his brother. Because of this he was just mean to her, for most of the book (he was nice for about a chapter), I might add, and his groveling at the end didn’t redeem him in my eyes. He was an idiot up until the last couple of pages before the epilogue. Yeah, no, that doesn’t work for me.

I found Hadley annoying. She did get better once she got around her family, thank heavens, but even then, I didn’t really understand her. I get that she had portrayed her life in the city as perfect in order to prove to her family that she could make it. I get that she didn’t want too many questions asked by her family and that’s why she brought a buffer. But really? Hadley’s family was amazing and not the judgmental family I expected. They were not the type of family that needed things to be perfect – they were supportive no matter what. So her growing up in that family but yet not knowing them at all? Just weird. The puzzle pieces didn’t fit for me.

Unfortunately this was not a fun read for me and I found myself skimming a lot because there was a metric ton of introspection, which just got old after a while. I think I’m in the minority when it comes to my feelings on this book so you judge for yourself whether it works for you or not. For me, that would be not.

Rating: 2 out of 5

This book was hilarious. I loved these guys together. I love a good hate to love and this one ticked all the boxes. So great.

Now that was fun! Just a plain, old-fashioned enjoyable read about 2 protagonists falling in love. It's fun, easy and good.

I received an ARC to prepare my review.

This is enemies to lovers done just right! I love Hadley, want to knock sense into Will, and yeah, this story is just simply awesome! Just all of it is so good!

Hadley needs her best friend as her wing man to a family wedding but for some reason his twin brother that she deems evil shows up instead. As if this family occasion wasn't already going to be a stress now shes got to deal with him. After what he's been though Will is convinced that his brothers "Best Friend" Hadley is indeed after his money and needs to figure out a way to break things off and get rid of her. First step is to take his brothers place and keep them separated learn a bit about her and figure out how best to break things off between the two.

I love a good enemies to lover kinda book and this book was just perfect for me. I loved seeing the push and pull between the two. You can see Hadley was a genuine friend to Wills brother but he was just so convinced that she was a gold digger which was unfortunate. Then theres the whole romance that was blooming between the two you just can't help but root for them because its clear they both are really good people but Will has been left jaded from his past that he can't help but see the worst in others. It was nice seeing him soften towards her family and Hadley gave as much as she got with a bit of mischief. Things are not going to be easy for the two but it was just fun to watch how things turn out in this book.

This review’s gonna be short and sweet.


Contrary to the title, this book was anything but a disaster haha. In fact, I really enjoyed reading it. the characters were likeable, the book itself surprisingly deep/emotional (I was expecting it to be more light-hearted, but honestly? I think I liked it better the way it was) and a heck of a lot of fun!

I didn’t really get a good look at the cover until now - how cute is the cover?! I love the colour scheme! (Especially the hot pink).

Hopefully Avery Flynn carries this on for maybe another book or two (different protagonists though - Ooh maybe Web and Hayley’s sister?!) because I really wouldn’t mind diving back into these characters/their world.
