Baiting the Maid of Honor by Tessa Bailey is one more sizzling addition to the Brazen imprint. This is book two from the Wedding Dare series, which revolves around the upcoming marriage of Kady and Colton. The week-long celebration is being held at the exclusive Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado. This story focuses on the relationship between maid-of-honor Julie Piper, an event planner, and groomsman Reed Lawson, a SWAT commander. Julie was born into amazing wealth and grew up with the best of everything. However, her life was forever changed when her older sister was killed in a car accident a few years ago.  Tyler is Julie's complete opposite, he grew up poor and his childhood was anything but joyful. Both just happen to live in Atlanta.Sweet Julie is the ultimate party planner. She is beautiful, always smiling and puts the needs of others ahead of her own. She has planned this wedding down to the very last detail and the bride's happiness supersedes anything that is going on in her own life. Reed has never had a long-term relationship with a woman, because he is married to his job, which he loves. When they meet for the first time, there is an instant chemistry that cannot be denied. Reed is a true alpha male and brings out Julie's wild-side both in and out of the bedroom. Emotion and giving does not come easy for Reed, but with Julie by his side, he learns to express himself.I did not enjoy this book as much as the others from the Wedding Dare series. Julie and Reed's connection seemed forced to me. I liked them both as individuals, but not so much as a couple. Overall, a quick-paced read with a cast of characters that are interesting and engaging.Complimentary copy provided by publisher.
