I have never read anything by this author, but I will be looking out for other books they write in the future. I really enjoyed the story as well as the pacing of the story.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

This was a super sweet romance with closed door! I enjoyed both of our main characters, Vale and Sloan. I am always a fan of friends who have secret feelings/marriage of convenience stories. The only drawback is this book was not presented as a series, and I am pretty sure there are other books with our side characters featured. Parts of the story felt like I was missing details even though we were given glimpses of things. I still may go back to see what I was missing to fill in those parts. Still a fun read!

3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley for this opportunity! So like the book I’m going to just dive right in. This book was very middle ground to me. I didn’t realize that this was not the first book in the universe. This is also a marriage of convenience trope which in my opinion needs to start out with a little resistance before the romance. This relationship didn’t have the kind of resistance I was looking for. It was still enjoyable to watch them grow together. It was also an easy read. I love anything hockey related.

This is a sweet romance about two friends that secretly have feelings for each other, and use an excuse of needing health insurance to get married spontaneously in Vegas.

Very cute, sweet romance (fade to black/behind closed doors type), but it probably would have helped if I had started with book one in the series.

Giving 4 stars because there were a couple things that could have been wrapped up better.

2.5/5

This book had so much potential. However, once the sister showed up for the honeymoon. I lost interest and the book was difficult to finish from there.

CUUUUUUUUTE

This was a perfect little romance which had no spice! I truly enjoyed the characters, their stories, and the love story. It was the perfect after christmas read.

I loved how it included some discussions on ADHD and the struggles that it brings. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a lighthearted and funny read!

Thank you to Netgalley, Grace Worthington and Poets and Saints Publishing for this arc

It was an amazing book to read. The dynamics between all the characters in the book was good and fun. I love how he always took care of her and wanted to make her life better/easier. It was a well written friends to lovers/marriage of convenience book and I can't wait to read more of Grace Worthington's books.

Perfectly Wedded is a lovely story for friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, hockey romance, and small town lovers! I enjoyed Sloan and Vale's friendship and the inevitability of them revealing their feelings for each other. This is a feel-good, friendship- and family-oriented story where you can't help but cheer for the characters. The characters all endeared themselves to me and I look forward to reading more of their stories.

Thank you to Xpresso Book Tours for gifting me with an ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

Absolutely brilliant book!
I am a big fan of this author and love the writing style!
I cant wait to read more!

This book is told from dual points of view and is part of a larger series. While I haven't read the other books, I never felt lost or out of place, as each installment in the series focuses on a different romance. It’s marketed as the first book in the series, but it isn’t technically the beginning, as the two main characters' siblings have already married each other in a previous book.

I really enjoyed the dual POV, as it gives readers a glimpse into both characters' thoughts and emotions, making the romance feel more real and relatable. The story centers around a marriage of convenience, but it’s clear from the start that these two characters are meant to be together. Their connection grows naturally, and their chemistry makes for a sweet and engaging romance that keeps you hooked throughout.

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

I liked this book a lot.
I enjoyed the Marriage of convenience at first and it did genuinely feel like Sloan and Vale were friends first.
I didnt really understand why their brother and sister went on the honeymoon with them because I dont think it really added anything to the story but I did enjoy reading about the honeymoon.
It was a fun romance and a speedy read

I wish I could say I liked this book more, because I was really excited to read it because of the blurb, but it just didn't work for me. I liked Vale, but I didn't feel I really knew him and I didn't feel a connection to Sloan at all. She felt very immature and it didn't feel like she had grown at all. I know her character was supposed to be impulsive, but it didn't come off that way, just immature. This felt like a couple where he was going to be giving his whole life and she would be taking, and not just because of her illness. Now my not liking this book might all be because I am battling a bad cold, so maybe my foggy brain just didn't connect and if that is the reason, I apologize for this review. 3.5 stars.

I adored this book! Perfectly Wedded is the first book in Grace Worthington’s Perfect Crush Hockey Romance series. This is the first book that I have read from her and it will definitely not be the last. This was just too cute!
I really felt for Sloan as she tried to make sense of her life and deal with her health difficulties because of the accident she had suffered. She was strong but she was struggling to carry the weight of everything on her own. It was sweet to read about her learning to trust Vale and letting him into her life. She had liked him for a while but she had to learn to break down her walls.
Vale was such a big teddy bear for Sloan, he would do anything for her. I loved getting to know him and seeing him fall more in love with Sloan. He had to learn to let her in too and see that they were a team. He had to work through his own fears and it was sweet to see how they connected.
The romance was sweet and perfect! I loved reading about Vale and Sloan realizing their feelings for each other. Marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes and Worthington wrote it so well. The side characters were a lot of fun and I need to read the other books now.
I would totally recommend Perfectly Wedded! It was just what I wanted to read! The characters felt real. Perfectly Wedded is a closed door romantic comedy.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

I devoured this book in a couple of hours. Very easy to read through and immediately fell in love with the characters. Vale not even hesitating to marry Sloan so she could get the medicine that helped her illness. I relate more to books like this where the main character isn't the typical "perfect" person and they have something going on that the love interest accepts them. Books like these show that everyone deserved to be loved! Definitely will recommend!

Tropes:
Friends to lovers
Marriage of convenience
Fake marriage

What a fun and cute story!

I loved the main characters, side characters and the tropes.

I enjoyed the banter and the flirtation between the mmc and the fmm. Their relationship was sweet and I loved seeing it grow into love and an HEA.

If you are looking for a cozy read that you will devour in one sitting this is it!

Closed door romance with dual POV between Vale(Hockey Player) and Sloan(College Ice Skating Coach) who are friends to lovers who then have a marriage of convenience in Vegas so Sloan can get better health insurance(which I found realistic in today's economy).

I enjoyed this book but I had a few issues with it.
1. Sloan discusses her relapses of her TBI but never really what that looks like or explain what it means other than she doesn't want it. This book had an opportunity to discuss what invisible disabilities can look like for people but instead it fell kind of flat.

2. A quick google search says that AHL(American Hockey League) players say that members must make a minimum of $52,000 a year(some could make more, obviously but I don't think it's that much more). Vale continues to act like money is no object(Tiffany Ring, discusses how he has tons of money but rents a room?) I'm not implying 52K is something to sneeze at but it's very much implied that Vale has tons of money and can fix Sloan's problems.

Let’s face it ladies if it has a hockey man on the front I’m going to read it it’s like a magnet.
I enjoyed this cute little read, marriage of convenience. Friends to lovers.
These tropes are cute especially when they both have been pining after each other for so long not knowing the other has always felt the same.

This is t the first book and I haven’t read the first one but it didn’t take away from the story and never effected the read

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2.5/5 stars

This is a protective cinnamon roll hero meets chaotic pixie contemporary romance with lots of slow burn. LOTS of slow burn. A maddening amount of slow burn. It's been a long time since I've read anything marketed as a "clean" romance, and I have to say that I wasn't really a fan. The book has a lot of buildup and what feels like no payoff. I was hoping at least for a wedding night scene. (Maybe I've been reading too much extra-spicy romance?)

What I liked:

Vale: Despite his name (which made me cringe about 75% of the time I read it), he is delightful and well-written. He struggles with communicating with Sloan for understandable reasons. What I don't understand is why he doesn't talk to his twin brother about what's going on with him! However, Vale is lovely, patient, and sweet. He's a protective cinnamon roll, and I love that in a hero.

Sloan: I don't think I really understood her as a character. This may be since this is the second book in the series, which I was not aware of when I received the ARC. She comes off as one-dimensional and confused, and I'm not exactly sure why Vale fell for her in the first place.

Overall, this was an okay book. I would go back and read the first book in the series for context, but would not read this one again, and am not likely to read the rest of the series.

Thanks to Netgalley, Poets and Saints Publishing, and Grace Worthington for providing the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Tropes: Hockey romance, he falls first, marriage of convenience, fake dating, fake fiancé

I found the story to be good and enjoyable, but I felt that the other characters took up way too much space in the book. While this wasn’t a huge issue, it sometimes distracted from the main storyline.

That said, the story itself was realistic and entertaining, with enough charm to keep me engaged. I’d still recommend Perfectly Wedded for anyone looking for a light, enjoyable read!

This book had such a cute marriage of convenience, but they were secretly in love the whole time. Grace wrote a sweet found-family that definitely made the book! And the way Vale calls Sloan “my wife”… this was definitely a sweet, easy read!
