My Thoughts:Baiting the Maid of Honor, by Tessa Bailey, was a Brazen Title at its best!  This book lived up to its steamy hot cover, and intriguing synopsis!  It took me on a sensual and erotic escape.  If you are in the mood for a sexy, and steaming hot erotica novel, I highly recommend, Baiting the Maid of Honor.  This story was a real page turner, and I was left completely satisfied.Reed Lawson is a sexy, dangerous looking, Swat Officer, with a hard outer shell.  He had a rough childhood, where money was tight, and love and affection were nonexistent.  He doesn't do relationships, and is uncomfortable with talking about feelings and cuddling.  When he is asked to be a groomsman in his childhood friend, Colton's wedding, he accepts.Julie Piper comes from a very wealthy and prestigious Southern family.  Julie is very giving, and always doing things to help others, without any thought to herself.  Her best friend, Kady, is getting married, and as the Maid of Honor, she has planned many fun events for the week leading up to the big day.  Julie enjoys planning things out, organizing, and putting events together, because she likes making others happy.  However, Julie harbors insecurities of not being good enough.

The first night when everyone is introduced, Reed is taken aback by the beautiful and elegant, Julie Lawson, and decides he has to have her in his bed.  Julie is attracted to Reed, but thinks he's arrogant, and plays hard to get.  She decides that she is going to seduce the best man, Logan, by surprising him, and being naked in his dark room.  However, things go topsy turvy and Julie is the one in for a surprise when unbeknownst to Julie, her friend, Regan, switches Logan's room key with Reed's!Baiting the Maid of honor had interesting main characters, a fun plot that never got dull, and a beautiful ending.  It was entertaining, light-hearted, and scorching hot!  I loved how the other characters from this series were in the book.  After reading this story, I treated myself to the rest of this series, and can't wait to read them all!The four bridesmaids, Julie, Christine, Regan, and Sophie decide to make the most of their stay by each going after one of the groomsmen.  They stake their claims, and are ready for a little bit of fun!  However, things get interesting when groomsmen, Reed, Tyler, Brock, and Logan decide to stake their claim on certain bridesmaids as well.  Each of the books in, The Wedding Dare Series, can be read as a standalone, and are companion novels.My Rating:Baiting the Maid of Honor, by Tessa Bailey, was one hell of a hot whirlwind ride!  If you are looking for a sexy, steamy, fun, and entertaining read, look no further!  Ms. Bailey never disappoints, and is the perfect example of erotica at its best!  I give, Baiting the Maid of Honor, 5 Dirty Talkin', Smokin' Hot Touchin', and Take Charge Lovin' Filled Stars!!!My Favorite Quote:" 'You said in the forest, you don't know who you are with me.  I hated it at the time.  But the truth is, I don't know who I am with you, either.  I only know I'm so much better.  Stronger.  Happier.' " (eARC, Loc. 1823)~Reed
