1 Wedding. 4 Bridesmaids. 4 Groomsmen. 1 dareThe third book in the Wedding Dare series was a book that grew on me. It had all the elements Katee Robert always brings us in her books - tension, hot guy, sexy shenanigans and the touching moments, but I must confess it took me a while to warm to Regan and Brock.Why? Regan Wakefield is a ball-buster, in business and pleasure. Opinionated and stubborn she needs to be in control and can be harsh with it. But underneath her steely faade is a woman who actually does wish for love and all that comes along with it and Kady and Colton's wedding reinforces this. Brock McNeil oozes southern charm. Wealthy, observant and tired of being second best to his family, Regan intrigues him. Problem is, she has her eye on the Best-Man, Logan McCade; he is everything she believes she needs in a man and she's not adverse to using Brock in her tactical plans. But Brock won't play second fiddle anymore.And this is what I struggled with for the first half of the book. I love a strong feisty female lead, but Regan's attitude felt cold and she infuriated me. As fabulous as she is to her friends, the way she treated Brock frustrated. And Brock, he may be a man of few words and as lovely as his Southern gentleman-like personality was, he needed to man up and stop letting his family shape him.But when they stop fighting it they did endear themselves to me; Brock actually understands Regan perfectly and as they get to know one another and the pent up feelings are unleashed it is hot and heartfelt. Out of the window went the frustration and through the door came all the feels and love for this couple.So, whilst it's not my fave of the series, it's still a good sexy addition, with a superb epilogue and Scarlett and Peaches get 4 stars from me.I received a copy of this courtesy of Entangled Publishing for an honest & unbiased opinion****Reading order:Dare to Resist (Wedding Dare #0.5) - Laura KayeFalling for the Groomsman (Wedding Dare #1) - Jen McLaughlin/Diane AlbertsBaiting the Maid of Honor (Wedding Dare #2) - Tessa BaileySeducing the Bridesmaid (Wedding Dare #3) - Katee RobertBest Man with Benefits (Wedding Dare #4) - Samanthe Beck
