Release Blitz + Review: "The Wedding Dilemma" by Mariah Ankenman

I'm happy to take part in today's release blitz celebrating "The Wedding Dilemma" by Mariah Ankenman, book #1 of the Mile High Firefighters series.

"The Wedding Dilemma" was a funny, steamy forbidden romance between waitress/aspiring artist Tamsen Hayes and her future stepbrother, firefighter Parker Kincaid. Their incredibly awkward first meeting had me both laughing out loud and experiencing secondhand embarrassment on Tamsen's behalf. Tamsen had a tendency to ramble when she was nervous, and handsome Parker certainly made her nervous at first! Once she got past those initial feelings and they got to know each other better, their relationship was a lot of fun. I enjoyed their silly bets over things like whose team would win at pub quiz, and their flirty, witty banter made me smile.

The book also featured a number of likeable, entertaining secondary characters who added a great deal of depth and humor to the story. I was particularly intrigued by the relationship between Parker's fellow firefighters Ward and Diaz. Their bickering was so funny, as was the fact that they both seemed to be completely oblivious to their true feelings for one another. I hope they will be one of the couples featured in an upcoming installment of this series.

Overall, I really enjoyed "The Wedding Dilemma" and recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I will definitely be picking up the next book in the series.

About "The Wedding Dilemma"

My life has always been pretty predictable. Run into burning buildings, save those in distress, be a hero. Shoot the shit with my fireman buddies, come home, and do it all again tomorrow. Little did I know that a random SOS call from a woman stuck in a plaster cast with nothing underneath (I swear I only caught a flash of skin) would throw me for a complete loop.

Until I see the flighty artist again. At my mom's engagement party. To her dad.

Suddenly the unpredictable woman I couldn't stop thinking about is my soon-to-be-stepsister. Yeah, the same one I mortified when I accidentally saw her a tiny bit naked. This should make family gatherings way more interesting.

Except when your mom's as loaded as mine is, you can never fully let your guard down when a guy comes sniffing around. So I can't help but be suspicious, even though his daughter's the perfect blend of beautiful and wild. As we spend more time together, prepping for our parents' wedding, we both agree that maybe there's nothing wrong with having a little bit of fun in the meantime. But if she knew I was investigating her dad on the side, she would never forgive me...
