That Time I Kissed the Groomsman Grump Book Review

Now Available on Amazon!


Ⓑⓞⓞⓚ Ⓡⓔⓥⓘⓔⓦ


What a sweet romcom! This is the first book that I have read by Julie and I am hooked! It is book 2 of the Time of Your (Love) Life Series but can be read as a standalone. 


In the previous book, Brady and Natalie worked together to get their siblings together. While doing so, sparks started flying between them. They stole a few kisses from each other but ultimately decided it was best for them to part ways. Afterall Brady works at the town’s vet clinic with plans to go to veterinary school and eventually take over the business. Natalie never really thought that she fit into life in their small town and she took the first opportunity to leave going to college and now plans to move cross country to live closer to her brother and his new wife-to-be. 


Fast forward six months, Natalie comes home for her brother's wedding and plans to stay as far away from Brady as possible. Only the universe had other plans that kept pushing them together. The more time they spend together, the deeper their connection becomes. They start sharing their secrets and dreams that no one else knows about them.  


Brady & Natalie are just perfect for each other! It was lovely to see their relationship grow into something more. It was annoying at times when their family pushed them into other relationships but they really handled it with grace. While I do appreciate their dedication to their previous commitments, I wanted to just shake them like crazy thinking that they were possibly missing out on the love of their lives! 


I enjoyed all of the craziness and the bantering in this book! It is truly a fun (and sometimes frustrating) read. These side characters had me laughing with their shenanigans. Big Mama was one of my favorite characters - I loved her speech at the rehearsal. Am I the only one who was irritated with the bride & groom and their little secret? 


I look forward to reading more of Julie’s work and can’t wait to see what is next for this group!
