I love a good romcom with great banter so I had so much fun with this one! Sloane and Wilder had amazing chemistry and were totally swoon-worthy!! Perfect slow burn tension! The side characters were also so fun and well rounded.

The narrators for this audiobook are a couple of my favourites to listen to! They are so good at bringing the characters to life, making you feel all the emotions, the vulnerability, the passion, and the humour! This was such an enjoyable listen!!

OK, giving this 3.75 stars so the epilogue really saved this ending for me and brought it up that .75 stars. I absolutely love both of these narrators and they did a great job with the characters. However, I wish the male narrator actually had an English accent like he’s described as having in the book. I will say that the MMC felt gross to me for most of the book just because of the things that happened to him in life doesn’t give him the right to act like he did towards women. If I had found out someone I was talking to had promised that they would wait for me and then did some of the actions this MMC did There is no way in hell I would associate with that person anymore. And the FMC never even found out. I did enjoy this FMC a lot and all in all the book was pretty good. I laughed quite a bit. Thank you to NetGalley for this arc. This is my honest review.

Spicy, sweet, and endearing... the book info said this is 27 Dresses meets The Hating Game... YES! Sloane was left at the altar, and since she is a writer at Bride Magazine, she is around them all the time. She ends up needing to stand in and is matched with a handsome groomsman Wilder. He is funny and they have a moment, but she is definitely not ready for anything. Wilder is a rugby pro with a ton of money and he was a little misogynistic at some times, but he learned and totally grew on me.

Super Cute, sexy and I LOVE when the cocky MMC falls first... The different weddings were fun and the Bridezilla moments had me chuckling.

Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt were perfection in this dual POV narration - such emotion and the banter was voiced PERFECTLY!

Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the chance to review this ALC in return for an honest review.

I Love love love these two narrators! They are BOTH a favourite to listen to! Amazing soothing voices and tones that draw me in to the story.

I LOVE Vi Keeland books! When i first discovered her a few years ago i read absolutely everything I could get my hands on and she never disappoints! Sloane and Wilder’s slow burn was fun because it was definitely amusing to see how Wilder pined and wooed Sloane. It’s actually a really sweet story and I absolutely enjoyed this one so much!

I received an advance listening copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So much fun!

Sloan was stood up at the alter and has declared a year of swearing off men. Fortunately, *insert sarcasm* she is a journalist for a Bride magazine so she is frequently surrounded by hopeful, happy brides. When she has a moment with Wilder in a coat closet at a wedding, sparks fly and threatens her “moratorium”. But Wilder knows what he wants and he’s willing to work for it and what he wants is Sloan.

I giggled and swooned my way through this sweet and spicy story. Read it so you can fall in love with Wilder too!

The audio narration was fantastic performed by Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt

Thank you Netgalley, McMillan Audio, and the author for this ALC in exchange for my honest review. This book will be available for purchase on May 6, 2025

My new fav Vi Keeland! This has everything I love about her books. Spice, emotion, swoony banter. The audio was top tier and just great!

3.5 stars.

"Jilted" by Vi Keeland is the perfect palate cleanser book. It's full of humor, sass, and spice. I laughed quite a bit while reading this because the main characters, Sloan and Wilder, have some terrific banter with one another. I enjoyed this one as a whole, though I did feel like I wanted a bit more spark between Sloan and Wilder. It is a slow-burn, but once the burn gets going, it's fiery! Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt give the perfect narration performances here. They completely embody Wilder and Sloan as characters. They both give great performances full of excellent pacing and diction. I particularly loved how growly Snow was.

Thank you to NetGalley, Vi Keeland, and Macmillan Audio for the complimentary ALC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

This book went down so easy. I finished it in basically one sitting, it’s exactly what you want from a BRAD (beach read after dark). Vi Keeland never leads me astray in the romance department.

Jilted had me from Page One! Funny, all the feelings, clever writing and banter, endearing characters—sign me up!

Sloan has been obsessed with weddings since she was a little girl, so it’s fitting that she’d end up as a Bride magazine writer. Until her fiancé gets to the altar and says “no thanks” and crushes her heart. So these days, she’s on a man moratorium—a yearlong hiatus from dating to figure things out for herself.

But then she bumps into Wilder, who has the most gorgeous eyes she’s ever seen, at a wedding. She can ignore the instant chemistry, right? Maybe. But the banter starts right away, and they’re both feeling something, though neither wants to admit it. Wilder has his own baggage, but Sloan’s got him tied up in knots and rethinking his outlook on love.

I could absolutely feel the tension between them, the connection they had, and loved reading their interactions, the buildup of the relationship, the way Wilder showed up for Sloan (most of the time) and built her up, the way she did the same for him. They were both genuinely wonderful people, each with some baggage and hangups, but not ridiculous or annoying. They worked through things like grownups (again, most of the time). When they screwed up, they figured it out and admitted it.

The author did an incredible job bringing Sloan and Wilder together and having them push through things in a relatable, charming way. Plus the steamy scenes were perfect. I was sad when Jilted was over—I wanted to keep hanging out with Sloan, Wilder, and Sloan’s whole family.

And the narrators? Perfection! Definitely get the audiobook if you’re going to read Jilted. Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow were masterful.

I so enjoyed the audio of Jilted! It was a fun story with excellent banter. I loved the way they met and continued to meet up along their friends' wedding journeys. Great story!

ALC Review
Jilted by Vi Keeland
Dual Narration by: Andi Arndt & Aiden Snow

I will always love Vi Keeland books. This one was a lot of fun. Sloan absolutely loves weddings and is actually a writer for a bride magazine. She meets Wilder at a wedding she is covering. It is well known that he is quite the playboy - so of course, after being jilted, she is super wary about pursuing anything.
Oh but this man is quite persistent. He became SOOOO mushy and I was here for it.

The narration was top tier. Andi and Aiden were an excellent combination for this duo.

Pick this one up if you enjoy:
* Jilted bride
* Former rugby star
* He falls first
* Rich playboy
* Long distance mixed with slow burn

Such a feel good rom-com! It has so many tropes that easily flow into each other. I loved the diabetic representation! The FMC did not seem weak because she has diabetes, but yet the author did not make it seemed like it wouldn't affect her life.

The duo narration for this book made the flow of the book seamless. They kept the book hard to put down.

Thank you MacMillian audio for providing me with the advanced listening audio for this book. I enjoyed every minute of it.

What a cute romance! Loved that this took a slightly different spin than I had originally thought. I listened to the narrators and enjoyed the multi cast female/male duo. Thank you to Macmillan Audio. And NetGalley for the ARC.

This was such a great palate cleanser! I thought the story was super well done and the narration was excellent. I love a rich man who is down bad for the FMC and Wilder was exactly that. He took care of Sloane and spoiled her endlessly and it was so fun. The quick wit and banter between these two had me smiling and giggling the whole time.

The audio was fantastic, which is not a surprise with Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow as narrators. I have never met a book I didn’t like with those two in my ears. I am not sure I would have chosen Andi as Sloane if I was reading with my eyes but I think she did a great job!

This was a quick, easy listen that I will definitely be recommending to friends! It’s my first of Keeland’s romances and will not be my last.

2.5 ⭐️

I had such high hopes for this one, but unfortunately it was not for me. I really liked the FMC and would have been happy with solely hearing her POV. I thought the MMC was sleazy and misogynistic. The relationship between the characters seemed very surface lev l and based simply on attraction. The narrator’s voice was also very deep and a bit cringey. Especially so when his accent was inconsistent throughout the book.

This one was a fun listen—rom-com vibes with just enough drama to keep things moving. While the storyline didn’t completely pull me in, I think that’s more about the writing than the performance. I didn’t feel as connected to the characters as I usually like to, but it was still enjoyable for what it was.

The real highlight for me was the narration. Aiden Snow’s voice? Deep, steady, and exactly what you want in a romantic lead. Andi Arndt is consistently great, and together they made the listening experience smooth and well-paced.

If you’re in the mood for something light with strong narration, this one’s worth queuing up—even if it won’t land in your top five.

It was a hot week for new books to be brought into this world! I recently finished JILTED by Vi Keeland and what a fun book this was! First off, there was refreshingly open communication between the main characters which does not happen in most rom-coms/romance novels. I was so happy with this. The next thing I like in a romance is good banter and this book had it. Great mix of banter and spice. Honestly a great cocktail of a book!

Sloane works for a bridal magazine and meets Wilder, a groomsman, in a bridezilla style wedding. The day banter lead to evening flirting & kissing. Sloane, jilted and previously left by her fiancé, has no intention of getting too close to Wilder but things don’t always work out that way. Wilder is a heartthrob and it’s hard not to love his character. The chemistry between this pair is perfect.

If you loved 27 Dresses, I highly recommend this read! Also, perfect for fans of Emily Henry.

So many thanks to @macmillan.audio for sharing this audiobook with me! Another great find that might not have been on my radar if it wasn’t for them.

Jilted by Vi Keeland
Contemporary romance. Alternating POV chapters.
Sloane works for Bride magazine. She’s a little burned out since her own fiancee left her at the alter, and the number of bridezilla she deals with seems overwhelming. When one particular groomsman’s eyes seem to follow Sloane all day, she rebuff’s his comments but is pulled into his orbit for a night of passionate kisses. Seems he’s the son of the magazine’s owner and Sloane is now attending a couple dozen weddings over the next year with that irresistible man. Sloane isn’t ready for a relationship. But Wilder isn’t taking no for an answer.

🎧 I listened to an audiobook copy of this story narrated by Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt. Both did a fantastic job with their POV chapters. Emotions practically jumped off the pages. Aiden’s voice was a bit lower than I’m used to, so I had to slow down and turn up the volume during his chapters. In general I listen at a speed between 1.5 and 1.7.
This couple (of narrators) turned up the heat and made the story and characters come alive for me. I will definitely put them both on my favs list.

Loved the inclusion of family, cops, and firefighters, as well as Parkinson’s.
Sloane and Wilder live in different economic levels but they make it work with easy acceptance. The banter between the couple is entertaining and often laugh-out-loud funny. He’s clearly smitten and isn’t trying to fight it. His flash back chapters are clearly to give the reader more background on him and his romantic history but it’s wasn’t strictly needed. IMO.

Captivating story. Swoon worthy romance.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley and publisher Macmillan Audio.

I really really enjoyed both this story and the audio!

There came a point in this audio where I could not put my ear buds away, and that never happens! I've been open about my issues with audio, but this one was so good I couldn't stop. I enjoyed both Aiden Snow as a narrator and the story. It was the perfect amount of funny and romance. I enjoyed both Wilder and Sloane as characters and particularly loved the representation of a character with diabetes. I really enjoyed the tension created between the two characters created by Sloane's moratorium. Wilder is my new favorite book boyfriend and Vi Keeland is now an autobuy author for me!

Such a cutesie rom-com giving all the Spring time vibes, a perfect way for this bakery owner to kick off into wedding season.

Vi gives us a retired Rugby player, playboy, with a history of troubled relationships who lost all ability to trust in women- that is until he runs into the beautiful bridal magazine journalist Sloane, at a wedding and it is lust+ at first sight. He quickly realizes he will stop at nothing to get this girls attention.

Sloane is an ex bride recovering from her fiancé leaving her at the alter of their wedding, pushing through her, at one time, dream job writing for a bridal magazine and helping to look after the family bar. Next thing you know she finds herself assigned to cover 11 weddings over the next year- all of which will have the dreamy guy she ran into in attendance.

If you’re looking for two really fun characters, with really good chemistry and whitty banter, I think you will fall in love with Wilder and Sloane. On top of the many weddings, and caring for family members, we also get some medical drama thrown in- a huge guilty pleasure of mine. 🤭 Who doesn’t love when the big burly man comes to the rescue and takes care of the weak damsel in distress (just for a minute)?!

This was such a quick and easy read, made even quicker with the audio version read by Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt- two of my all time favorite narrators. They both did an amazing job portraying both of the characters as well as our side characters. I could listen to either one of them all day long (and I often do).

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
