This story is an irresistible blend of humor, heartbreak, and swoon-worthy romance. I listened to it as an audiobook, which did a great job of bringing it all to life with delightful energy.

Narrated by two talented voices, the performances elevate the characters' chemistry to another level. The snarky yet vulnerable tone of Sloane, whose life as a wedding writer has become a mix of professional success and personal trauma after being abandoned at the altar, really comes through well, and Wilder's character was narrated perfectly, coming across as mysterious and brooding, easily making your heart flutter and stomach drop in equal measure.

The story itself is a rom-com lover’s dream: slow burn, delicious tension, and plenty of moments that will have you smiling or cringing (in a good way). I loved how the wedding industry setting — and the protagonist's complete aversion to it — offers a hilarious backdrop for the romance. The witty banter between the leads keeps the pace moving, and the occasional moments of steamy tension are perfectly timed in the audio version, making each chapter feel like a mini cliffhanger.

The audiobook really captures that light, yet emotionally charged atmosphere, where you'll find yourself rooting for the characters despite their flaws.

If you’re looking for a fun, easy listen that mixes humor, heartbreak, and a hint of drama, “Jilted” is a great pick. The audiobook makes it an even more immersive experience, thanks to the fantastic narration. This one’s perfect for long drives, lazy afternoons, or anytime you need a good, feel-good escape.

I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio and am voluntarily leaving my review.

The MMC was insufferable, and the audio narration made him sound like a cheesy radio announcer. The storyline felt paper-thin, and the surprise pregnancy trope is one I rarely enjoy. As for the spice? Full-body cringe. Unfortunately, this one was a total miss for me.

Delightful! I really enjoyed Vi Keeland's Jilted.

Such great characters, and what a wonderful story. Romance, feels, physical romance - the whole package.

The audio version of Jilted is performed by Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt. I'm a fan of both of these narrators and they work well together.

Just finished the audiobook of Jilted and… whew. My heart is still recovering. This story pulled me in from the very first chapter. The narration brought so much depth to the characters—I felt every ounce of heartbreak, hope, and hesitation like it was my own. You know those books that make you pause, take a breath, and really feel something? This was that. It’s raw, emotional, and honest in a way that doesn’t try to sugarcoat the messy parts of love and loss. But at the same time, there’s this beautiful thread of healing that runs through it all. And the romance? Slow-burning, soulful, and so worth the wait.

If you're into audiobooks that give you all the feels, this one’s definitely worth a listen. Just maybe don’t play it while you're in public… unless you're okay with tearing up at random.

JILTED by Vi Keeland has all of the elements of a romance that I fell in love with when I first discovered the genre — a great premise; solid character development; good prose; plus, it’s fun and funny but also has it’s serious side.

The heroine is journalist for Bride magazine who was left at the altar. So it stings when she is still covering weddings as part of her beat. The MMC is a former rugby star who is trying to put together his own professional team. He falls for her, even though he is a serial dater, while she is still licking her wounds after being jilted. This concept just works.

This book features slow burn, second chance at love, enemies to lovers, male yearning like you would not believe, forced proximity, and 2 pepper spiciness.

I am definitely looking forward to Ms. Keeland’s next book.

Thank you for my gifted #alc of Vi Keeland’s Jilted. This audiobook paired nicely with my Canadian Icewine tasting and kept me entertained on the long roadtrip north of the border. Sloane loves all things wedding related. She writes for Bride magazine featuring over the top events filled with bridezillas, humongous wedding parties, amazing venues, and a handsome gentleman. When her current wedding bride is so over the top she finds herself dressed in a purple gone with the wind inspired dress and horned fastener one would cry but she finds humor in it alongside a blue eyed groomsman, Wilder, all because there is a connection to her boss. She promotes the event on social media only to realize it’s gone viral with an inappropriate picture and her boss is on his way to speak to her when she is back in the office. As I panicked for her thinking she might lose her job and benefits, which she needs for her diabetes medication, good news is delivered that she will be doing a multi wedding story featuring the groomsmen’s weddings over the course of the year and her blue eyed, Wilder, with his British accent will be in her life more than she hoped. Did I mention she had been left at the alter before the bridezilla wedding so she has sworn off dating for a full year. Wilder wiggles his way into her life through these weddings and his research into her life and her podcast. The family dynamics that they have made me love this book that much more. While this is a slow burn you can’t help but be swept up in the magic of these weddings and time sent between Sloane and Wilder. Happy pub day to this book and thank you for the listen in exchange for my review.

There was a lot that I liked about "Jilted," but I also found it too steamy for my tastes.

Sloane has been dreaming of weddings practically of her life, and her job working for Bride magazine seemed perfect until her own perfect wedding wasn't. Left standing at the alter, she's still feeling the pain of that rejection. But her job requires her to cover all these amazing weddings, and a girl's still gotta work!

As she begins a new series for the magazine, the bridezilla at the first of 12 weddings convinces her to stand in for a missing bridesmaid at the last minute, pairing her with the hot hunk, Wilder Hayes. Too bad, he's as infuriating as he is handsome.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Wilder is in every one of the upcoming 12 weddings, and there's no way to avoid him for the rest of the year. But to make matters even worse, he's also the boss's son, which she doesn't learn until *after* their little unintentional rendezvous in the coat closet.

As the two navigate the next year, there's a lot of time for deep conversations and misunderstandings.

Overall, I enjoyed the story, but could have definitely used a lot less of the steaminess.

Thank you Vi Keeland, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for an advance review copy.

I really liked this one! It had the perfect amount of romance, action, and cringeworthy scenes. I laughed and smiled my way through the listen and honestly could go for book 2 with more of the family. I loved the pursuit and the final give-in, I was so happy. The narrators did an amazing job bringing to life the characters and really did a fantastic job!

PHEWW! That was spicy. 🥵. I love the whirlwind romance. I love the family connections. I feel like Wilder was almost eye-rollingly perfect and Sloane was a bit too go along to get along for me but the story flowed really well and was enjoyable. The narration was great.

What a great audiobook and another enjoyable romantic story from Vi Keeland. Thank you Netgalley for my advanced listeners copy.

I have listened and read to a few books by this author so was already pumped to have a listen. Our FMC is in all things bridal and had a not great personal experience with her almost husband. She meets the MMC when attending a future wedding. They have great chemistry at their initial meeting, but once they cross paths again she’s way more cautious. The second chance romance is really well done because you get to see how their histories play out and impact their relationship, while they also recognize and forgive one another having matured from their previous experiences. The narrators also do a great job of embodying the characters emotions - playful to impassioned -throughout the story.

[Jilted by Vi Keeland]

This was such a fun, easy romance that I absolutely couldn't put down. I binged it in a single day! It had the best banter and a slow burn that had me desperate for them to get there while also kicking my feet with the anticipation.

I really loved both main characters. Sloan was hurt and hesitant from her past experiences, but I loved how she found herself as the book continued. And Wilder was the most perfect mix of cocky athlete, alpha in the bedroom, and huge softie on the inside. I fell for him instantly and loved him until the very end! I love how Vi typically saves a piece of the characters for you to discover closer to the end of the book and this was no exception. It tied to book together perfectly!

This would be a fantastic beach or vacation read. I enjoyed it so much!

Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow were fantastic together in this audiobook. Andi is always fantastic and I think she was the most perfect fit for Sloane. Aiden has this big growly voice that was perfect for our big, rugby playing Wilder. I really enjoyed them together!

Thank you to Vi Keeland and Macmillan Audio for this gifted ALC.

I always enjoy Vi Keelands books! She’s a go to for a solid romcom story that’s not too cliche. The characters were relatable and the banter was well written and made me smile throughout the story. The narrators did a good job as well. It’s a nice easy listen that’ll leave you smiling.

Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this audio book.

This was a fun, cute read with just the right amount of spice for me! I adored the MC's and was rooting for them. I would read more by this author.

Pick up this lighthearted romcom if you like:
- Witty banter
- Slow burn romance
- Weddings!

Sloane and Wilder are great characters, and this was a fun read to see if Wilder could win Sloane's heart. Their meet-cute occurs when they are both in a bridal party (Sloane doesn't even know the bride or groom), and then Wilder pulls Sloane into his orbit through her work. This was a sweet story, and the narrators were perfect!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. Once I started, I didn't want to stop until the book was finished. Both voice actors were really great. I'll upload a more detailed review to Instagram. I'll also update with a link once it's posted.

The book Jilted by Vi Keeland was such a fun romance read!
Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt are two of my favorite narrators, and they did an amazing job bringing this book to life.

Highly recommend!

Wedding season is right around the corner…are you ready?
Sloane endured the most humiliating moment of her life. She was left at the alter. Yikes!
Putting it behind her wouldn’t be the easiest thing, to say the least. Especially given the fact that she’s a writer for Bride Magazine, showcasing bridal events. Ironic...don't ya think?💁🏼‍♀️

Her latest project puts her right in the middle of a bridezilla moment when she’s directed to substitute as a bridesmaid to replace a missing one.

No worries, Sloane can roll with it. That is until she’s matched up with the most handsome and self assured groomsman in the wedding party. No, no, no! Sloane is not ready to take another chance at love.

Come on Sloane… take a bold step and just give him a chance!

This was a fun, spicy rom-com. I enjoyed both Sloane and Wilders’ characters. The chemistry between the two worked!

🎧 The audio was narrated by Andy Arndt and Aiden Snow. Both did a fantastic job with their characters!

Audio review
Narrated by: Andi Arndt and Aiden

Main characters
Sloane
Wilder

Loved loved loved Wilder. He comes off as a bit of a jerk but he is hiding a wild past and major insecurities.
He has the rep of a player and it was earned. He went all in with Sloane. The way he took care of her was more than swoon worthy.
Sloane had her own insecurities. After her fiancée left her at the alter, she went on a man diet. She gave herself a year free of relationships. Wilder came in early in the game. He was willing to put in the work to show her he was worth it.
A easy read. There are a few moments of angst. Overall a fun read. The supporting characters were pretty awesome too. The younger siblings hs were cute and added humor.

<I>Jilted</i> was a fun and unique storyline that grabbed me right from the start. Being left at the altar did not turn Sloane into a cynical bride, she has a job to do afterall. This story takes place during wedding season. Sloane works for a bridal magazine and the boss's son has the best idea to have his whole friend group featured as they are all getting married. The boss's son also turns out to be the incorrigible Wilder who she now can't get rid of.
Sloane and Wilder's banter is entertaining. There's a serious love/hate relationship for Sloane and Wilder is a very male oriented character who is full of ego, has no shame and does not care what he says or does.
I listened to the audiobook and was thoroughly entertained throughout. I never felt bored and I enjoyed this slight change to the normal romances that I seem to read.

Jilted is a slowburning romance full of witty banter and wedding chaos. The story of a jilted bride stuck working with the groom’s son is both funny and heartfelt. The chemistry builds nicely and feels real, even if it takes its time. Perfect for anyone who loves clever, swoony romance with a side of humor.
