This is the second book in this series about three sisters who make a pact that whichever one isn't engaged or married by the end of the month would marry their parents' business partner's son, Aiden in order to save their family business. The books can be read as stand-alones but the first book is really good, too. Since Nell is engaged, Misty decides she'll be the one to go to London and marry Aiden. Nell and Charlotte don't want her to do that yet and to try to see if she can find a love at home. They know that the co-worker, Lucas has had a crush on Misty forever but Misty is unaware of that. She decides that she and Lucas will pretend to be a couple. He moves in with her (separate rooms) and they tackle Charlotte's list to see if they're compatible. As the week progresses, Misty begins to see that she might be able to have feelings for Lucas. She has secret dreams of going to textile school and he has dreams of opening a bookstore. He wants to support her dreams and she also decides that she wants to support his dream. Will they find love and be able to still support each other? There are funny things that happen on their way to love. I thought this was a great book. I'm looking forward to Charlotte's book. I received an early copy from Netgalley to read and review early. I'm leaving my honest review.

I am hooked on Ginny Baird stories. They had heat and depth and I love every character so much. They draw you into their lives and you want to be their friends, if they were real. Good story.

I am looking forward to Charlotte's story because I am really hoping Aidan is an amazing guy. Since all the sisters are trying really hard not to be the one to have to marry Aidan. This is Misty's story. I liked Misty for the most part but she had to grow on me a little bit. She seems pretty oblivious to lots of things around her, mostly Lucas. Lucas is a sweetheart that finally takes his big chance with the person he has had feelings for for years...Misty. He is so patient and kind with her, a true hero.

The is the second book in the series about a trio of sisters who must find someone to marry before the end of the month, or marry a millionaire, Aiden. I know, sounds horrid, doesn't it? Only thing is, all they know about the millionaire, is nothing other than he has offered to get their parents out of their financial problems. There are no pictures of him online. There is nothing about him.

In this book, the middle sister, Misty, figures she might as well marry, Aiden, and is just getting ready to agree and fly to London, when her sister puts up a billboard with her picture on it, and asks people to marry her.

To get out of marrying any of these random people who show up at her parent's coffee shop to propose to her, she says that she is already dating Lucas, a life-long friend and coworker.

So, the whole book is the slow burn of the friends to lovers, even though Lucas is already quite on board to be a lover from the get-go.

Light kissing, and word play, and nothing terribly tragic, though we don't know what will happen in the third book, to the third sister.

I guess we just have to wait for that one.

Second Bride Down continues Ginny Baird’s series about the 3 sisters who promise that the last one not to have found a mate by the end of the month will marry Aiden Strong to save their parents’ business. Misty’s sudden decision to be a martyr and go to London prompts sister Charlotte to plaster Misty’s image on a billboard on the highway into town…prompting fellow brewery employee Lucas to publicly announce the he and Misty already are in a relationship. Ms. Baird has written another sweet, funny story about two friends who each have dreams of the future that could involve them both if they can just be honest with each other. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.
