Fake Relationship
Friends to Lovers
Cozy, Small Town

If you’re looking for a fun, fast escapist read to small town New England Ms. Baird delivers just that. Her books are cozy, sweet romcoms that read like the equivalent of a feel good hallmark movie. I’ve tried a few from the author now and have found her to offer quick, charming reads with a HEA. The scenarios are hallmark-y in that they may seem a bit far fetched, but that’s what you’re signing up for the get away to the small town and simple, sweet romance.

I really enjoyed both our leads - Lucas especially, since I thought he was sweet. I loved the setting - I’m a sucker for small towns and Maine is one of my favorite New England locals. And of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this book featured a go to favorite trope for me as well - fake relationship!

Great pick for a beach read or if you’re like me a cozy weekend morning read with a cup of cocoa. I look forward to trying more from this author in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read an early copy. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

I loved this second installment of the Bride series. This was the story of Misty and Lucas, longtime friends and co workers. With the September 30th deadline to find true love fast approaching, the remaining two sisters, Misty and Charlotte, will stop at nothing to get engaged.
This book is beautifully written, the characters are great - like old friends, and I didn't know who to root for and who to feel bad for. Truly looking forward to the third book.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed revisiting Majestic.

Epilogue

I look forward to reading Charlotte's story.

I'm a total sucker for marriage of convenience stories and this series seemed right up my alley. I read its predecessor, First Bride to Fall, beforehand to better understand Second Bride Down. I'm glad I made this decision because I was sorely disappointed with the sequel. Nell's bubbly love story was so infectious and I expected the brightness to follow into the next book. Unfortunately, Misty and Lucas' relationship felt awkward and disjointed. I hate to say it, but a closed door romance without any chemistry is the kiss of death. There were plenty of elements present for this book to succeed like a bridal bet, forced proximity, and secret pining but Misty ended up nearly sabotaging her own happy ending.

My favorite person in this entire book was our love hero, Luke. He carried the perfect torch in the Friends to Lovers trope that is so often underutilized. In this particular dynamic, the amount of romantic interest felt unequally yoked. Luke was already completely devoted to Misty and she was too blind to see his dedication to her. It was a little aggravating to see our heroine totally oblivious to the heart eyes affixed to Luke's dreamy face. It took a very long time for the romantic shoe to drop and I was over it. It certainly didn't help either that Luke was doing all the heavy lifting trying to transition their relationship from fake to reality. She was more willing to agree on a bridal bet with a stranger over one who was already 100% invested in her happiness right in front of her wee face.

I'm always honored to receive advanced copies, but I'm not sure whether or not I'll continue with the Majestic Maine series. I have a theory that the last sister Charlotte will actually fulfill the bridal contract and fall in love with the intended mystery groom. I haven't made my final decision yet, but hopefully it aligns more with Nell's happy ending rather than Misty. I also believe I've grown too impatient for closed door romances and I want to dive straight into the hanky panky. I have plenty of room in my heart for slow and steady, but I was feeling too greedy this month. Thanks to Entangled Publishing for this spectacular opportunity and I'll do my best to support this lovely small publishing house. We had First Bride to Fall and Second Bride Down, who knows what's in store for Bride #3?

This book was sent to me by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher for the electronic copy. This author is talented at writing a cozy romance. The characters are likable and intriguing. The story moves quickly to a resounding end. I liked this book. I look forward to more from this author.

I gave this book 4 stars. It was just so good.

I want to say thank you to NetGalley for providing a digital ARC for an unbiased opinion and review.

I read this book so fast. Even though I am doing school right now I was able to finish this book in two days because I just couldn't stop.
It was funny, cute and just overall heartwarming.
I love Misty and Lucas together. I love how much they are willing to do for each other even willing to sacrifice something that really matters to them for the other person. Lucas was always looking out for her and supporting in everything.
I just want to say that I don't think friends to lovers is my thing. While I do enjoy it, I like it better when it is enemies to lovers or when it is friends to lovers where both individuals have feelings for each other. I really don't like one sided love. Lucas clearly liked Misty for a while which was evident in book one and in this book. But I loved how their relationship progressed. I love how Lucas never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. And they just worked perfectly. Lucas was always so understanding. He's honestly just amazing.
One of my favorite scenes was when Lucas <spoiler> played the trumpet and then they went on their morning run and just that whole day was perfect </spoiler>
Also another one of my favorite scenes was at the end when both of them <spoiler> presented rings to each other. Like that is so CUTE! </spoiler>
Something that I knew when I got to 65% of the book was that Charlotte was <spoiler> cheating on the photos and completing the 10 things list. </spoiler>
I seriously cannot wait for Charlotte's story. I want to read it so bad. I just thought that it would be cool if Aidan would come and they didn't recognize him because they are expecting a guy who is not good looking since there are no pictures of him online. But then Charlotte likes him and then realizes that he is Aidan or something like that. And then it could just roll from there.

I absolutely love this series. It is about three sisters who make a pact. The last woman who isn't married or engaged gets to marry Aiden, in order to help save the family business. The first book was Nell's book and this one is Misty's. I enjoyed everything about it. It was entertaining, funny and so much more. The story pulled me in from the very beginning and I honestly could not put it down. I am looking so forward to reading Charlotte's story. Thanks NetGalley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

A Majestic four-star read. This is number two in the Majestic Maine series, but they can be read as stand-alone, as they each tell their own sister’s story. This is whimsical and fun, with an odd, arranged marriage undertone, but maybe its just me that finds that part off. I like Misty, and she seems to have real passion, Lucas was nice, but I don’t know he could have been a little more. Overall a good story, just missing a couple of points.

Second Bride Down is the second book in the Majestic Maine series by my favorite author Ginny Baird.

The book is perfect for friends to lovers romance readers and follows Misty who is feeling the pinch that her sister is engaged and decides to do something desperate so she doesn't end up alone. Thanks to her sister Charlotte who puts her plight on a billboard she then discovers what has always been in front of her, The plot is incredible, the characters are well developed and the romance swoon worthy. Recommend it.

This is the second book in the series. It's a engaging read.
Three sisters make a bid, that
effects their family’s future.
Misty, is ready to do her part
for the family. That is till Lucas,
said he would help Misty,
try to find out if this is what
she really wants to do.
I enjoyed reading this feel-good
& moving romance!!

Second Bride Down by Ginny Baird was an enjoyable read for me. Such a cute book! I liked the characters and the story was lovely!

The Delaney sisters would do anything for their parents, so they don't lose the house or the family business. And when the solution comes in the form of a five-year marriage of convenience, they have to decide which of them is going to be chosen one
.
Three sisters and a groom waiting at the end of the altar for whoever loses the bet of finding their true love in one month
.
With the oldest of the three engaged, only Charlotte and Misty remain in competition. The two most competitive of the family, but when the story reaches everywhere and the suitors for Misty begin to line up and chase her throughout the town Lucas Reyes, her lifelong friend and store manager declares that she is already with him taking her by surprise
.
Misty accepts his help pretending to be dating while she decides what to do with her life. But sharing so much time together and so much about them in a way that neither had been with anyone could bring new feelings
.
This second book is sweeter and more tender than the first, but it has all the magic of the small town in Maine that I wanted so badly to return to and I can't wait to see what happens with Charlotte. The Delaney sisters and all the characters in the town were amazing and really can't wait for the next book
.
Thanks to Ginny Baird and Entangled Publishing LLC for give me a copy of this beautiful book in exchange for my honest opinion

A light, read full of drama, whimsy and romance. Fun for the beach, vacation and book clubs,

Misty is in a race against her sisters to get engaged so they don't have to marry the son of their family's rivals. One sister has already won the race, so Misty is starting to get desperate-- until she gives up and decides to just take one for the team and marry the guy. It's only for five years, after all. But Charlotte, the other sister still in the running, won't accept her forfeit and takes out a giant billboard ad advertising Misty's need for a husband.
In the face of all the men who show up-- Misty's exes, other men from around town, and strangers who saw the billboard on the highway and decided to come shoot their shot-- her longtime friend Lucas steps in and pretends to date her. It's totally just to save her from these men, and not because he's been in love with her since high school...
Second Bride Down is a sweet friends to lovers fake relationship that turns very real over the course of a week. Lucas and Misty are definitely meant for each other, and their interactions throughout the book are incredibly sweet. Lucas is the perfect guy, and there's a lot more to Misty than meets the eye-- she's got a few secrets she's keeping for no reason other than wanting something that's only her own.

There are a ton of both sweet and funny moments throughout the book, though at times Misty's inner monologue about falling for Lucas got a little repetitive.
Toward the end of the book, Misty finds out she's been accepted into her dream design school, and is offered the scholarship that'll make it possible for her to go. But she tries to turn it down, because she can't stand the thought of leaving Lucas (who at this point she's only had feelings for for a few days). He shows up to surprise her and ends up talking her into enrolling in the program, but her willingness to give up her lifelong dream for a guy she's just barely started dating definitely lost me at the end.

Overall, though the ending did bother me enough to drop a star, I liked this book as much as the first one in the series (maybe even more), and I absolutely cannot wait to read Charlotte's story-- I have a feeling it'll be my favorite of them all.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 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' friends’ son, Aiden in order to save their family business. This can be read as a standalone as well. I adore this book and could not put it down. It you want a cute witty Rom Com this is for you.

This book wasn't what I thought it was gonna be... It was so much better . There's romance and drama . I loved everything. About it . I don't want to give it away but you will be very happy when you read it . Great job.

This is the second book in this series about three sisters who make a bet that whichever one of them isn't engaged or married by the end of the month would have to marry their parents' friends son, Aiden, inorder to ave their parents coffee shop. After Nell gets engaged to Grant, Missy decides that she will go to London and marry Aiden. The sisters take out a billboard advertisement to help Missy find true love.
Lucas has been in love with Misty since he first met her, and the billboard prompts him to take do something about it. Misty and Lukas decide to pretend to be in love and give Charlottes list a try to see if they are compatible.
Second Bride down was an ok read for me. It is a cute read about 2 friends and their journey as they become more. Lucas was a sweetheart, loved he supported Misty and her dreams.

A cute read !
