This was such an enjoyable and refreshing read! The characters were well developed and experienced a level of personal growth and self-awareness that is sometimes lacking in romance novels. I loved the amount of communication between the two love interests, even when the conversations were tough. They exercised healthy boundaries throughout, and seemed to really take into consideration the impact their words made on their partner. While neither lead is perfect, they certainly make each other better, which was lovely to read. I devoured this book quite quickly; it struck the perfect balance of light and easy beach read with real depth. Excellent!

Nicolas DiDomizio has crafted another amazing and magical romantic comedy with Nearlywed!

Nearlywed follows Ray Bruno, a relationship writer (think male Carrie Bradshaw), as he gets closer and closer to his wedding day with the very handsome Dr. Kip Hayes. Everything seems to be going perfectly as they gear up for their "Earlymoon" at a stunning resort that Ray's parents went to before they got married. However, when they get there things don't go according to plan and then all of a sudden the soon-to-be grooms are fighting and debating the walk down the aisle.

Nicolas DiDomizio knows exactly how to get me ramped up with emotion in his books. I was ENAMORED with this couple. Ray starts with such ideals and I truly loved his character. His energy is infectious and so full of love and he had so much room to grow. I think that ability to add depth is one of my favorite parts of DiDomizios' characters. They start so loveable, but they also have areas to grow in that don't change how you feel about them. I think that is truly a testament to the writing style in his books and I know readers love it (I LOVE IT).

I feel like this book gives you two very different sides of an argument, however, I found myself flip-flopping back and forth and not knowing which side I was on. Another testament to how enthralled I was in this story, but I was rooting for both characters and changing sides because I wanted to see them find a path forward for their differences. This story was just so dynamic and fun!

Throw in all the funny wit and jokes that Nicolas DiDomizio is famous for and you has this next great love story! Check this book out, you won't be disappointed!!
