Falling for the Groomsman by Diane Alberts is another hot addition to the Brazen imprint. This book is also part of the Wedding Dare series, which centers around the upcoming nuptials of Kady and Colton, which is being held at the Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado. This story focuses on the relationship between bridesmaid Christine Forsythe, an investigative journalist, and groomsman Tyler Dresco, an emergency room physician. Christine and Tyler spent some time together while vacationing in Mexico eight years ago, where one night of passion turned into a lifetime of happiness, only they did not know it yet.Not only is Tyler Kady's older brother, he is also one of the groom's best friends. Christine and Kady met in college and have been best friends, as well as roommates, ever since. After Mexico, they avoided each other at all costs, which was easy because they did not live in the same state.  Now they are forced to confront their past and deal with their beckoning attraction.I loved how Ms. Alberts evolved Christine's character.  When Christine arrived at the week-long wedding soiree, she had every intention of fulfilling some of her sexual fantasies with some random men, before she moved back to her hometown in Maine. She even made a list to ensure that her wants were not forgotten.  However, after a single kiss from Tyler, her lustful memories from the past moved into the present and she no longer wants any other man.Tyler is a nurturing man who always puts the needs of others ahead of his own. Ms. Alberts expands his narrow-mindedness about emotion and love very gracefully, which adds a deepness to Tyler's character that is very enlightening. He is an alpha male and what he wants, he gets. Tyler wants Christine very badly and will do whatever it takes to make her his.I really enjoyed this book and the entire Wedding Dare series thus far. This is a slightly emotional, nicely-paced, sexy romantic read. Overall, a well-written book from an author that always leaves me wanting more.Complimentary copy provided by the publisher.
