A wedding is not the only thing Tyler  and Christine have to get through. They have eight years of air to clear after an encounter where Tyler took Christine's virginity and ran off right after. I love these kinds of stories because you automatically know that with him being the brides brother and her being the best friend to the bride that they can't avoid this come to Jesus moment.Tyler and Christine were a really fun couple to fall in love with, and it was effortless. The chemistry between them right away was evident so I knew I was in for a treat. Christine has done well for herself as an investigative journalist and has spent the last several years building her career without any time for serious relationships. It's hard to build something else when you know the one that got away was the one you were meant to be with right? Christine was the kind of woman I love to get behind. She was determined, as was evidenced by her choice in career. She was fiercely independent, proven by how she fought Tyler almost every step of the way and she was loving. The way she talked about her brother showed how special their bond was. It would have to be after losing her parents to a drunk driver when she was a freshman in college. That was the catalyst in the story, On a trip to Mexico 8 years prior in order to try and have fun and forget about her pain is when she hooked up with Tyler. Having a crush on Tyler already, plus being young and vulnerable only added to the circumstances surrounding their first connection. She needed comfort when Tyler found her crying trying to get into her hotel room and at first he offers just a shoulder but one thing lead to another and 8 years later, BOOM! Here we are.Although he was a stubborn ass at times Tyler was a great male character that made me swoon and he just melted my heart overall. He became a doctor and not only does he save lives but he also helps out overseas with the "Doctors Without Borders" program. That right there is a big win in the swoon worthy traits category. Aside form that though his genuine character came out in the way he cared for others around him. Not just his sister but also the time he took to care for Christine and prove to her he's a different man than he used to be. Being a young doctor on the cusp of leaving to head overseas 8 years before, Tyler wasn't ready to settle down and Christine made him FEEL ALL THE THINGS! Of course he probably could have handled letting her down a little better than running out the door with his pants around his ankles but I digress. In his defense though taking someones V-card is a big deal and that can mess with a guy's head it seems because he's beat himself up over it for years. I loved Tyler from beginning to end and didn't stop. Even his moments of being bossy with Christine, I just wanted to pull off my Granny panties and tie them to his FACE! UNFF!Surrounding the wedding of Kady and Colton, whom we met in Dare To Resist which is the setup for the stormy Christine and Tyler are pushed together repeatedly in a cosmic alignment of the stars. The wedding activities that are setup for the entire week have them in close proximity several times even when a scavenger hunt takes them off the beaten path for a night under the stars. Albert's had my heart in a constant state of pitter-pattering watching her two fiercely hardheaded characters TRY to resist each other but with the past connection they shared and the current heated passion jolting through them it was inevitable they got hot and heavy. One of the main things I usually love about Adult romance is the moment where the characters finally give into their feelings and throw caution to the wind. That moment between Catherine and Tyler was hot, twice. In the beginning I thought Albert's was going to drag out their sexcapades seeing as how Cathrine would run off and was more gun shy than a deer during open season, but thankfully she gave me what I wanted in a relatively pain free time frame. Couples who have fun together always make me feel like relationships can't be all bad. The way these two laughed together and played when they stopped being so concerned about feelings made me feel connected to them. They were real and didn't seem as if I was being told a story but experiencing their love affair first hand and that's a great way to write a story in my opinion. They had moments where they frustrated each other and me but seeing the outcome made all that craziness worthwhile.The Wedding Dare series is an interesting way to bring several authors together and establish characters and you would think it would be difficult to work out all the logistic but Albert's managed to write characters that felt authentic as well as characters established by another author seem genuine to who they were. I'm anxious and excited to see how the other books flow into the others as I continue in this wickedly sexy series. Falling For The Groomsmen was very sexy and fun, with two people I couldn't imagine not being together when the story was finished. Albert's wrapped me in a warm cocoon as her story came to a close and left me with a sweet gooey feeling.
