Have you read the blurb for this book? I did! And I was hooked! I couldn't wait! Bought myself a copy! Swiped to the first page and again...hooked! Especially when Chloe and Agent Liam Esposito see each other for the first time. Hello! Talk about explosions. Okay, maybe explosions might not be the best descriptive word there, then again it might be. But when two people who have been letting off fireworks (and avoiding said fireworks because of a work relationship), have a falling out (a pretty serious falling out), and suddenly find themselves face to face again...definitely explosions. Of course those explosions aren't necessarily visible to everyone else in the room, but most definitely recognized by the two creating the explosions. And, did I mention the falling out? So again, not necessarily the best type of explosions. More like anger, hurt, betrayal, I want to seriously come after you and let all my frustrations out on you, type explosions. Don't worry, no agents were hurt in the making of said explosions. ;-)
Chloe has spent the last year of her life picking up the pieces, and honestly hiding them and the hurt deep down inside. The last person she wants anything to do with has suddenly reappeared in her life. Not only that, but the fun keeps coming, she gets to work with him again to protect her cousin.
Chloe's character was fun to read. The mystery surrounding the event where her friend was killed keeps surfacing. She is grieving. She's trying to move on with life and do something that makes her happy and uses her skills, but not everyone thinks she should be an 'undercover bridesmaid'. Chloe loves helping brides by being hired to help with any little thing they need, but most importantly to help remove the nerves and stress that can come with a wedding. I loved watching her in that role for her cousin and the little asides we'd get about different weddings/brides she'd helped. I also really enjoyed watching her interact with the myriad of characters in the book. It was fun seeing how she handled different situations.
There was quite a bit happening throughout the book. FBI, jewel thieves, Chloe learning how to identify diamonds, keeping a bride happy, avoiding a very handsome agent who is too charming-ummm scratch that, he's trouble-, lots of family dynamics (all fun, especially the grandma-hee hee), and trying to discover the who, why and what of everything before the wedding happens and trouble strikes.
I was trying to piece together all the little clues that I could pull out of the story for who the bad guy was. Surprisingly, I guessed right! It's actually not very obvious, the author did a great job casting doubt on multiple characters and leaving little breadcrumbs for us readers to follow if you're paying attention. Very well done!
The grandma was cracking me up throughout the book. She reminded me of both of my grandmothers, both of whom passed away years ago. While reading, I was thinking back to my wedding and one of my grandmas wanting to have a snowball fight with me and my husband, because well, we're all a bunch of teases. She decided not to because we were all dressed up but she was really tempted since it was the first snow of the season and she loved a good snowball fight. Well, jump ahead a couple weeks later and we were at another wedding and another great snowfall had happened. As we were walking to the cars, my grandma pulled me aside, picked up a handful of snow, made it into a snowball and grinned at me as she sneakily went up to my hubby and nailed him. Oh, it was awesome and a cherished memory. My hubby's face...total shock that sweet little grandma would catch him unsuspecting, then he realized the snowball fight was on. Chloe's grandma has some great comedic relief lines and is full of spunk. A great character for sure!
I'd be remiss if I didn't say that I loved all the moments between Chloe and Liam. Yes, I said explosions earlier in my review referencing these two, and yes, there are explosions throughout that have to do with these two. And I loved every minute of it. I didn't want to set this book down, and I honestly didn't want it to end either. I need more Chloe and Liam please! Oh, maybe a little novella about them when they first met???? Just throwing that out there. Hee Hee!
I was a very happy reader with how everything came resolved in this book. If you enjoy clean romance, suspense, humor, weddings, not too crazy brides and a whole lot of family and fun...then I highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Content: Clean. A few moments of peril but nothing graphic. Kissing but nothing more.
Happy Reading!!!

I downright adored THE UNDERCOVER BRIDESMAID by KIMBERLY MONTPETIT!
Is there anything harder than being a bridesmaid for hire? Yes, there is! It’s being a bridesmaid for hire at your own cousin’s wedding, while working undercover for the FBI agent you hold responsible for the death of your best friend!Chloe has built a great business and reputation as a very discreet and perfect bridesmaid for hire! Her days are filled with being the perfect personal assistant to the bride to be, making certain all the details for the wedding of her dreams will come off without a hitch. Her weekends are filled with making certain her brides get hitched with all their wedding dreams coming true! What an imaginative way to make a living!Chloe was a rising star in the FBI until she saw her best friend left to die in an operation gone bad. She holds Lead Agent Liam Esposito personally responsible for her friend’s death. Now Liam shows up to be her handler on this coerced mission!I downright adored THE UNDERCOVER BRIDESMAID by KIMBERLY MONTPETIT! It is easy to read in a few hours. It does require some thought about “WHODUNIT”, which I didn’t figure out until it was revealed in the book. The writing is good, and the plot remained suspenseful throughout! The characters are superficial apart from Chloe and Liam. The wedding and robbery are just the background for bringing them back together.I definitely recommend you pick up a copy of THE UNDERCOVER BRIDESMAID by KIMBERLY MONTPETIT. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!I give THE UNDERCOVER BRIDESMAID by KIMBERLY MONTPETIT four cups of steaming hot Reviews by Room With Books Coffee.©September 30, 2018Patricia, Reviews by Room With Books
