The narrators were fantastic. I love AIden Snow and Andi Arndt.

The story was entertaining and emotional at the same time. I love when the MC falls first and becomes a big mush for the FMC. I liked the small glimpses into Wilder's background with the reveal at the end. It really helped explain why he is the way he is. Sloane was strong, independent, and resilient.

Sloane fantasized having the perfect wedding since she was a child, but after being left by her fiancé on her wedding day, she has since sworn off men.
That could all change when Sloane runs into Wilder, a handsome groomsman with eyes as blue as the sea, that she can’t quite seem to get out of her head.
There’s just a few problems, he’s a serial-dater with an ego almost as big as his rugby career who lives in the UK, while she’s the serial-relationship type with insecurities and a still healing heart and lives in the US.
Not thinking about him is about to get a lot more difficult when Sloane finds out she’ll be working the next 11 weddings that Wilder will be attending as a groomsman.


I absolutely adored all aspects of this audiobook, it made my cheeks hurt from smiling. Jilted doesn’t feel like just another romance novel, with help from the author and narrators, it brings something different to the table. There’s so many laugh out loud, relatable, and heart-warming moments as you watch the characters grow and get to know each other.
Both narrators have very pleasant voices and did a fantastic job portraying and differentiating the main and side characters, which really brought everyone to life and showed off their unique personalities.
It only took one sitting for me to finish Jilted, I did not want to stop listening, the narration has a consistent flow that makes it very easy to listen to, understand, and enjoy. You really feel like you’re in Sloane and Wilder’s shoes.
I cannot recommend this book and audiobook enough! I would even listen to it twice just to feel all the feels again.


“You placed your trust in someone that shattered it. When that happens we’re left with the fragments of a promise that once carried a lot of weight in our hearts.”

“I was tired of staying in and reading self help books to figure out who I was, it was time I figured it out by living.”

“You can’t be afraid to take chances because you got hurt. Life is all about taking chances Sometimes we jump off the cliff and splatter to the ground, but sometimes we jump off and fly.”

“There was no getting a little hurt- because (he) was big love, the kind that doesn’t just take a piece of your heart when he leaves, but punches a gaping whole right through it.”

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Bramble giving me the chance to listen to this amazing story! I can’t wait to check out more by this author and narrators

I enjoy all books by this author. Jilted was my latest favorite from her. It's full of great characters, witty banter between characters, fun laugh out loud moments and a lot of heart tugging emotions. I became invested in the characters from the start and feel like I'm waiting on pins and needles for the ending! I liked every bit of the story and it left me feeling happy when I was done. What a perfect romance! I received an advance copy of the story from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Thank you to Vi and Macmillan audio for a copy of the audiobook!! I really enjoyed this!! It kept me drawn in and was a very quick read, which was great!! I feel like the extra trope towards the end didn’t need to be added to make the book good, but it didn’t make it worse so that’s a bonus. I would totally recommend this to romance readers and can’t wait to see what people think!! Thanks to the publisher and the author again :)

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for providing me an early copy of this audiobook. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved the premise of this one! Sloane has always been in love with weddings, so much so she now works at a Bridal magazine. But 6 months ago she got left at the alter, and that love has definitely dwindled. She ends up being thrown into the Bridal Party at one of the weddings she is attending for her job, and meets cocky commitment-phobe, Wilder, who is quickly smitten and hatches a plan in which he gets to see her at a dozen weddings over the course of the next year.

I mean, so fun!

Even though the sparks fly immediately between these two, the burn is still definitely slow, and the sexual tension is so high while we wait for these two to finally give in.

The third act will probably throw off some readers…👀 And I’m not sure I’m the biggest fan either. (I also didn’t LOVE the constant talk about Wilder’s past with women…) but overall I still binged the whole audiobook in a day, and had a good time with it!

Audiobook notes: Fabulous! 👍 Both narrators did a great job!

Parts of this story I enjoyed and other parts left me questioning why. Why did the spicy scenes feel so raunchy and not in a good way? The storyline of this book was fun. Sloane and Wilder meet at a wedding where Sloane is writing a Wedding Journalism piece. Sloane is dealing with some of her own stuff as she was left at the alter 6 months prior. This felt very 2000’s romcom (think 27 dresses paired with misogynistic views and sex.) I cringed at a lot of the spicy scene’s word choices. Not my style. The number of weddings Wilder attending and Sloane wrote about was a lot. Some of the banter was fun to read and I enjoyed the dual POV and dual narrators in this audiobook.

I loved this book so much! Both main characters are very relatable. I also loved the way their story evolved; both of them had wonderful character development and growth. The storyline was fun, sexy and an all around good time. This was my first book written by Vi Keeland and it definitely won’t be my last. 💖 I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did a fantastic job. I could listen to Aiden Snow read the ingredients on a cereal box and be totally enthralled. 😂

I would like to thank Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for giving me an ARC (which did not sway my opinions or review).

I really enjoyed this book. This is a fun slow burn romance that takes place over several weddings. Our heroine Sloane is doing a feature for a Bridal magazine, on a group of college friends that are all getting married over the course of the summer. Sloane used to love her job, but it has soured when she was left at the alter of her own wedding. During the first wedding of the series, Sloane has sparks with one of the grooms-men Wilder. Now they will be seeing each other at many weddings over the summer.

This was a fun, breezy story. I loved seeing the different weddings. I loved the slow burn of it all. Wilder had to really woo Sloane over the course of the book, it was fun to watch.

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the advanced listener copy. The Jilted audiobook has two of the best narrators in the biz, Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow. It was a great listening experience.

I highly recommend this book, for fun, and flirty vibes this wedding season.

I read this book early first and just finished listening to it as well. Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow really brought Sloane and Wilder to life! It made the story even more enjoyable than just reading. They are amazing!!
4.5 stars! I really loved the storyline and Sloane and Wilder are just adorable together. He is persistent to say the least. I am glad he doesn’t give up because they have chemistry for days and are the perfect complement to the other. Both have baggage that threatens their ability to have a relationship, but being up front about what they want and honesty and trust goes a long way. The other characters like Sloane’s dad and brother, Wilder’s biz partner Andrew, and Sloane’s work partner Elijah are all great characters as well. This book is steamy, sexy, flirty, funny, and emotional. Totally worth your time! I loved it!

ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

i tired so hard to listen to this but just couldn't push myself to suffer through this.

thankful i got the audio arc

YESSSS!! Vi Keeland really knows what the people wants! this was such a pretty story, and I love when it all comes full circle.
For me, it was the twilight reference, how he falls first (CHEF'S KISS!!!), his acts of service and his level of attention to detail? ughhh from remembering her favorite food to noticing her insulin pump!! I am so happy for this HEA

Now, for the audiobook part, I really think they are a good match to the characters and so engaging!! His voice was just perfect for Wilder!!

Special thanks to Netgalley, Macmillan Audio and Vi Keekand!

Let’s start with the narration: I’m in the minority here, but I just can’t with Aiden Snow. He sounds like he’s trying to sound sexy, which is ewwwww. Andi Arndt, on the other hand did a great job as Sloane—natural, engaging, and easy to listen to.

As for the story…, this one wasn’t really my jam. The “billionaire falls in love with an average girl” trope doesn’t do much for me, and neither does insta-love. Wilder’s got big “I get what I want” energy, and not in a good way—more in a pushy bordering on red-flag kind of way. He steamrolls over boundaries, and if you think too hard about how that might play out long-term, it’s a little ick.

That said—if you suspend disbelief, squint past the questionable behavior, and focus on the pacing and banter, it’s kind of a fun ride. I especially liked Wilder’s little brother Lucas, who stole every scene he was in.

Sloane has loved weddings since she was young, and her career is not focused on them. Despite having her heart broken at the altar, she still spends her days surrounded by brides of all styles and personalities as she documents their special days for a bridal magazine. After a Bridezilla wedding where Sloane finds herself roped into joining the wedding party, she lets loose for a night with the handsome groomsman she was paired with, figuring she’ll never see him again. As luck would have it though, that groomsman was her boss’s son and she is assigned 11 more weddings that he will also be attending.

Wilder is a playboy, always up for a little fun, but finds himself drawn to Sloane. He is used to a life of privilege, though he fits in with Sloane’s “normal” life pretty easily as their friendship builds. For being described by his friends as a playboy, though, he falls for Sloane hard and fast.

Because they live in different cities and Sloane has sworn off men for the time being, they strike up a friendship. But 11 weddings is a lot of time together and Sloane starts to wonder if she hasn’t unknowingly let Wilder in, instead of keeping him at arm's length.

I listened to the audio, and enjoyed Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt’s interpretations of the characters. These two are strong narrators and the way they brought Wilder and Sloane to life was perfect.

This was a fun, witty story full of emotional growth and development and so many lighthearted moments. It held the perfect amount of humor to keep things from being heavy. I loved the side characters, and the closeness of Sloane to her family. It did feel like there were a lot of tropes flying around for a bit, but in the end it all worked. I enjoyed the banter and the rom-com bits throughout. This was another fun, relatively quick standalone from Vi Keeland!

This precious book absolutely jumped up and made my day. I listened to almost the entire book yesterday while I was doing all the "house stuff" (laundry, meal prep, planting flowers, unloading the dishwasher... iykyk), and it kept me chuckling and smiling all day.

Sloane and Wilder are enemies to lovers, but they're not enemies for long. He falls first, and it's just as cute as his nickname for her (it's Cupcake).

They both have past issues to overcome and there are lots of weddings to attend before they can try to take on a life together, but it's a fun ride and made me want to get dressed up and go to a wedding.

There is one spicy scene that the book honestly didn't even need in my opinion, but, overall, I couldn't help but love it.

It's sweet and sassy and full of banter, and the audio has a great dual narration that really brings the story to life.

First of all, love anything Vi Keeland writes. It's easy, good pacing, and the couples are not 2 dimensional. They're sassy, spicy, and have lots of fun. This is about Sloane, who has her perfect wedding in mind since 7 was left at the alter, and changed her perspective on love and men. Then you have Wilder who's a playboy to the core, literally run into the love of his life. Both knew it's not 'normal' for them to feel this way, but they do. They deny themselves, fool themselves, kid themselves, but the chemistry is palpable. I love those two so much.

I love that Sloane has a strong family as her support. Wilder's dad is not as much as an asshole as we all thought. But good news is that they know it's love in there. Their hearts knows it sooner than their heads, so there's alot of catching up and it's fun to watch/read.

My biggest complaint, the 3rd act, how they come back together: Sloane did not put up much of a fight. She should after the way he acted, and the resolution came too fast and too quick. I could've enjoyed Sloane making Wilder work for the forgiveness in couple more chapters.

Thanks to NetGalley & Macmillan Audio for the ARC. I love Andi Arndt & Aiden Snow.... man, Aiden make the spicy scenes spicier, that's for sure.

Thank you to Netgalley, Macmillian Audio, and Vi Keeland for the ALC.

Sloane is a journalist for a bride magazine, and she loves her job until it becomes a painful, daily reminder of being left at the altar. But covering weddings has some benefits, like meeting a former pro rugby groomsman named Wilder Hayes. Wilder falls instantly for Sloane, but Sloane needs someone who will be gentle with her still healing, broken heart.

This is my first Vi Keeland novel, and I will be back for more. I enjoyed the story. However, the character development of Wilder Hayes could have used a little work. At times I felt like he was being modeled after Christian Grey – ridiculously wealthy, use to getting what he wants, and a times a little possessive of his love. I think Hayes could have stood on his own two feet without paying homage to Mr. Grey.

3.75 out of 5 stars

Thank you to @macmillan.audio #MacAudio2025 and @netgalley for a copy of this ALC.

I thought this book was really fun! I enjoyed Wilder and the banter that he and Sloane had throughout the book. This was a bit of an insta love book but I had a good time with it. I thought the dual POV made it even more interesting to get both perspectives.

🎧: I thought both narrators did an excellent job. The female narrator did a great job of giving the MMC a slight british accent and that was a nice touch.

I absolutely loved Jilted. This is hands down one of my favorite books that I’ve listened to this year. Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow did a phenomenal job bringing this book to life. Aiden’s voice turned me into a puddle of mush. His voice is deep and hot. He is the perfect Wilder. These two knocked it out of the park.

The writing was top notch. The character growth was fantastic. So much great conflict in this story from start to finish. The emotion hit me in all the feels! I finished this audiobook in a day. I did not want to stop listening. The tension between Sloan and Wilder was sizzling hot. I loved what a goner he was for Sloan. I loved that the weddings tied them together. This is just a fun summer romance!
I received this audiobook from Macmillan Audio and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I may be wayyyy behind on this but I didn't know Keeland wrote romance. I thought this was okay. It kept me entertaining but it was not memorable. I don't really get the instalove on his part but happy for them.

I am a fan of Vi Keeland so I was excited when NetGalley approved me for the ALC of Jilted. Right off the bat, this book is narrated by the amazing combo team of Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt and they brought these characters to life. This opens with Sloane. She works part time at her dad’s bar and is a writer for Bridal magazine. She is on her way to a wedding she is not looking forward to attending. Here job has been made more difficult since she was left at the alter by her fiancé who wanted to give his ex another shot. When she arrives and the bride is the ultimate bridezilla. When she is coerced into covering for a bridesmaid she is paired with the Azure eyed hottie, Wilder. They have an attraction and an instant dislike that ends in a make-out session in the coat closet. When he is suddenly revealed to be her bosses son, things get interesting.

Vi Writes with so much emotion and heart and this book is no exception. I loved Sloane and Wilder as they try to navigate what “could be” between them. Wilder is a committed bachelor and hasn’t been in a relationship longer than a few months since college. Coupled with Sloane’s obvious pain at being left at the alter 6 months ago, this road to a relationship is bumpy. What I loved about them both is that they tried, even when it was hard, and even when it seemed impossible. They both had some huge emotional baggage. I loved so much about this book and the side characters are just a great as the main one. Great Listen with a great story. Definitely worth adding to your TBR.
