Baiting the Maid of Honor is the second book in the wedding Dare series. Not only is it another great book in this series but yet again another great book by Tess Bailey. I pretty much read this book in one sitting and loved every minute of reading. Bailey has this way of hooking me with her stories and I cannot stop reading them until I finish.Reed is a tough Atlanta cop with a bad back story. He does dirty talking with the best of them, I did not expect any less from one of Bailey’s men though. The only problem I had with him was that he went all ‘MINE!!!’ after his first encounter with Julie. This is something I do not like in ANY novel, I do not find it hot, and I find it really off putting and it is slightly creepy. I am just not a fan of the ‘caveman’ trope that so many authors seem to be fond of.I enjoyed Julie as the heroine but I did not have any strong feelings for her. She is the typical good girl, who likes making people happy, while that is not a bad thing it is something seen a lot in romance, I mean the innocent good girl trope. I don’t feel that her backstory did anything to help make her unique or something we have not already seen.Despite the couple of issues I had I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the last two in this series as well as more books by Tessa Bailey.**I received an ARC of this book from Entangled Brazen for an honest review.**
