A runaway groom. A cautious neighbor. Too many sexually fueled run-ins to speak of.
I LOVED the GD Taylors!!
As soon as Willow Aster and Laura Pavlov announced this series, I knew they would make a fabulous writing duo and I was not wrong! Wanted Wed or Alive was an incredible start to what I know is going to be a favourite series this year. I fell so hard and fast for the Taylor brothers and I cannot wait for each of them to get their own HEAs.
The story is most definitely a rom-com. There were endless scenes that had me in fits of giggles, but not only is this a rom-com it is heartfelt and there is a ton of swoony, steamy moments to fall over too. I couldn’t get enough of the love, the friendship, and hilarious banter.
Jesse is a runaway groom. He was steps away from making the biggest mistake of his life by marrying the wrong woman for him when he finally comes to his senses and flees from his wedding in Chicago to New York to join his brothers in their construction business. They own an up and coming Condo in New York, and each brother have their own condo unit in the same building. This is where Jesse meets Mya and the moment they do there were instant sparks! The chemistry between them was palpable and the way he was drawn to her and fumbling over his attraction to her was so damn adorable!
Mya is also from Chicago, and has moved into the same building. She has recently been betrayed by an ex-boyfriend in an unforgivable way and she is starting over in a new city and a new job at the law firm her bestie, Emma works at. Mya is extremely cautious after having her heart obliterated the way she did. Jesse has his work cut out for him wearing her down but he does not back down and when they finally give into their attraction is was off the charts, sexy!
I adored Mya’s bestie, Emma so much! She had Mya’s back in every way. She is feisty, strong, stubborn and outspoken and I just know I am going to love her even more when we get her story.
The only thing I didn’t love was the conflict that arose and the lack of communication between Jesse and Mya. They could have handled it much differently if they had just communicated but it in no way takes away from how much I adored this story, and highly recommend it!
