Welcome back to another WWW Wednesday. If you are new, this is a weekly book meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words. Each week we answer the three W’s.

Let’s Get Started!
I’m currently 3 chapters into Best Man by Katy Evans. This is going to be a fast read for me. I’m intrigued by this storyline and the characters. I can’t wait to dive back in.
Blurb:
When the wedding of your dreams is just around the corner, everything needs to go as planned. Only problem is, the groom didn’t get the memo.
Aaron forgot the rings, and Lia is determined to make the long drive home to get them in time for their “I do’s.”
But there’s a catch. There always is with Aaron, isn’t there?
Aaron is too hungover to come, and sends a replacement.
The best man.
Miles Foster. The cocky, arrogant, sexy best man…and the last person Lia wants to be trapped in a car with for hours.
But Aaron insists, and Lia wonders if there’s another reason Aaron wants Miles tagging along–aside from sticking her with a hot, surly babysitter.
Yet how bad can it be? It’ll be over before she knows it, and she’ll never see him again. Just like in college.
But when secrets are revealed, and Lia’s whole world is turned upside down, she realizes she’s been living a lie–and so has her groom.
Miles is supposed to be the best man at her wedding.
But what if he is simply the best man she has ever known? The best man for her?
This week I finished three advanced copies! The first being The Lineup by Meghan Quinn. Meghan Quinn is one of my go to authors when I’m in the mood for some serious character chemistry with a few laugh out loud moments. It saddens me to say, The Lineup was a like for me but not a love. I had a difficult time connecting with the characters and the storyline. I wanted to love this one but I couldn’t get over the lack of connection between Jason and Dottie.
Blurb:
Want to know a secret?
It’s about that girl over there.
Don’t look, but she’s the one in the power suit—with the long, black hair and the serious expression, the one I’m about to go on a date with . . .
Yeah, according to her, she “accidentally” donated an obscene amount of money to my charity — The Lineup — to win said date but I found out the truth. Miss. Button Up Blouse has a secret, passionate crush on me.
I didn’t know her name until two days ago, despite the friends we have in common.
Was I oblivious? Probably.
Was I blind to it? Definitely.
But I’m no fool, I see it now. The High Heel Harlot wants more than just a date with Jason Orson, she wants to be able to claim the best butt in baseball as hers.
Here’s another secret . . . she has no idea I know.
I also finished an advanced copy of Insolent by Cynthia A. Rodriguez. This was another ‘Just Okay’ read for me. If you didn’t know Insolent is a part of The Sinister Fairy Tales Collection and is a retelling of Brave…. and I’m learning I really need to catch up on my fairytales because I have no clue what or who Brave is… Yes, I’ve been living under a rock. But with that notion set aside, I wasn’t a fan of this novel. I liked the writing and the story in itself but the chemistry was lacking and I found myself a bit lost and confused on Moira’s backstory. I needed a bit more detail.
Insolent
By: Cynthia A. Rodriguez
Blurb:
There’s a girl screaming at the top of a hill,
Burdened by a duty she was born to fulfill.
There’s a quiet killer lurking nearby,
Watching as she wishes only to die.
She’s tasked by her mother to marry a man,
Until the demon from hell puts a wrench in the plan.
Their fates will twine in inconceivable ways.
But where one goes, the other cannot stay.
How could she fall for such a man, you ask?
For the girl with no heart, it was the easiest task.
And lastly, I just finished an advanced copy of House Of Scarlett by Meghan March! All I have to say on this one is… Cliffhangers are a bitch!!! You can check out my full review HERE!
House Of Scarlett
(Legend Trilogy #2)
By: Meghan March
Blurb:
Gabriel Legend is unlike any other man I’ve ever met.
He came into my life like a hurricane, shattering all my assumptions and preconceived notions.
I wasn’t prepared for him. I wasn’t prepared for any of it.
But life doesn’t wait until you’re ready.
Whatever happens next, I know one thing for certain.
I will never be the same Scarlett I was before I met him.
I’m bummed you didn’t love The Lineup, but Scarlett makes up for that. 😉 I hope you get all the answers in A Gift of Time!
