Book four and I haven't read the first three. Shocker...not

This book was a little all over the place. I’m glad I’ve never been that drunk that I lose a whole weekend. He was super sweet and she was a wreck. There was plenty of hot sex (most of which she doesn’t remember at first). Their friends are hilarious.

Well I thought this was such a funny, humorous, knee slapping book. We have Mysti May, a former beauty queen and her three best friends, Percy, Becky and Sammi. They are having a last hurrah, in Tijuana Mexico,before Mysti marries Norbert. Becky's Brother Brandon is in Las Vegas to get married to Henrietta on the same day as Mysti. It's great to read a romance novel that can take you overboard and to the extreme. This book is full of sex with a great story line. If you are uncomfortable with sexually explicit PDA and open bedroom scenes than this is not the book for you. Norbert has forbidden Mysti to drink because she always get wild if she is drunk. Eventually Mysti's gal pals wear her down to have a shot of tequila. Well, there is the one then another and so forth and so on. The next thing Mysti knows she wakes up with a massive hangover and a naked man beside her. She is surprised that the naked man is the man she has had a crush on since college. The man is Becky's brother Brandon. It's just that Mysti can not remember anything after the shots of tequila in Mexico. How and why she and her friends got to Vegas is a mystery. As Brandon awakes he is all smiles and acts as if there is nothing strange about him and Mysti being in bed naked. Mysti turns to Brandon for answers. But Brandon is going to let Mysti unravel the mystery herself as he told her she would not believe him if he did. So Mysti and her gal pals get together to unravel the last twenty-four hours. One thing leads to another and they go from one place to another to uncover the previous days events. Let the escapades begin. Oh the trouble these women got themselves into. Brandon of course was keeping an eye on them as they trekked along the Vegas strip. Brandon wanted Mysti to remember that they married each other for love and that they were meant to be together. The women got into situation after situation and I could not help but smile and laugh reading about their exploits. This is a very entertaining book and I enjoyed reading it.

I couldn't put this book down. In fact, I read the entire book in one sitting. Brendan and Misti had wanted each other since they were introduced, but never acted on it. Mainly because he is her best friend's brother. One would night, that she can't remember, changes everything. But for how long and is it for the better or a is it changed for the worse?
When we first meet Brendan, he walks into his hotel room, on the eve of his wedding, to find his fiancee in a very compromising position. She tries, and fails, to get him to believe it isn't as bad as it is. Enter Misti, who sticks up for Brendan, and then gets him to leave with her. But why is she in Vegas when she is supposed to thousands of miles away getting ready for her bachelorette party?
The next morning is when chaos ensues and memories slowly chime back. Still wanting to marry her fiancee, even after finding out a bombshell, she rushes to find answers. Brendan can help her with some, but not all. With the help of her girl friends and Brendan, we go on a night of fun, drinking, and hilarity (kind of like The Hangover, only with female lead characters).
I was hoping that they would admit how they felt about each other, but enjoyed the slow build up to their true feelings. When Misti demands something from Brendan, you know he doesn't want to give it, but he agrees on one condition. If she remembers the end of the night and what brought her to Vegas by five p.m., he will honor her wishes.
Will she remember everything and still want what she asked him for? Will Brendan get the girl he had been secretly in love with, or will he have to let her go? Just what did happen in Vegas?
This was the first book I have read by these authors, but v it won't be the last.

This book is a MUST HAVE READ.  Simply priceless the things that happen - I thought "No way!"  But, oh yes! They did do that.  Two marriages were supposed to happen but when Brendon walks in on his fiancée sleeping with not one but several men.  Mysti, his sister's best friend forever, walks in and uses her handbag as a weapon [as all us females know it is and that's why there is so much necessary 'stuff' in our handbags].  This , in many ways, is like a Carry On film with an abundance of humour, plenty of red hot steamy sex that will make your toes curl and you'll need your fans/air con set to max cool as this is HOT.  Daphne Dawn and Natalie Knight are an amazing team of authors that keep writing best seller after best seller for us all to enjoy! I loved this story so very much that I just had to buy my own copy as this is one story I will be wanting to re-read again and again.  Just my type of humour, with great characters, delicious comedic situations, sexy main characters and supporting characters that I love too!  Please keep on writing these fabulous stories for us to read.  I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!  I bought my own copy as I loved this so much.

IF IT DON'T FIT FORCE IT!!!
OK guys, I'm just gonna put it out there. If you're looking for steamy hot sizzling action, this is it. If you like some humor to go along, right again. If you like it when a bomb is dropped right in some unexpected persons lap, yep, you guest it. This is the trade mark for a full fledged uh oh. Light hearted, hot as hades, steamy sex scenes that make it hard to think. This bad boy right here will definitely lift anyones spirit. You'll laugh out load, everyone will know you've lost your mind. They'll look at you funny and you'll just laugh harder because of the expressions on their faces. This duo has a knack for bring out the sinful in all of us. The characters are realistic and relatable. Their personalities are well developed and balanced just right. With their individual qualities and the transformation into the roles they play are intriguing and full of surprises. Twists and turns abound with all the drama a sane person can handle. Good thing I'm not sane. The scenes so vividly detailed makes for perfect backdrop. Great job guys, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the fourth book in the Billionaire Hangover series. In this book, Mysti May finds love and then can't remember. Mysti was engaged to Norbert and was supposed to have her last girl's weekend, but Norbert didn't want her drinking, dressing slutty or getting too out of hand. When Mysti met up with the girls she learned Becky's brother Brendon was also getting married. Mysti had feelings for Brendon since college and she wished it was him she was with. Brendon called off his wedding when he caught his future wife in bed with a lot of different men at once and then when he learned Mysti was in Las Vegas also, they met up. When Brendon and Mysti woke up together naked, she couldn't remember the night before and Brendon wanted to try to make her remember. Brendon knows what happened, but won't tell Mysti because he wants her to remember everything and the reasons it all happened. Mysti enlists the girls help to retrace the night and figure out how much trouble they got in this time. This was a good conclusion to this series and was funny as well as steamy. There is a lot of sex scenes in this book that will have you hot. Good one.

This was a fair romance read. The blurb held more promise than the story actually gave. What I read about previous escapades of Mysti May, Brendon (or Brandon) and their friends just didn’t do it for me. They didn’t come off looking so good. The bedroom scenes held right proper promise with sizzling chemistry and steam. I enjoyed those parts of the story but the actual interaction between the main characters seemed disjointed or not connecting in order to bring a smooth reading experience. Its a lot of debauchery, booze and sleep arounds that had me wishing there was somewhat more of a plot. I liked what was provided, it just needed to be more connective and smooth flowing. There are a lot of crazy things going on while going to the alter but it just seemed could have been done differently with a better result. I would still read these authors again, this story just didn’t really work for me .

My Rating: 3.9 stars *****

This is Mysti May's story and its even better than the others in my opinion.

Mysti May wakes up next to a man that isn't her fiance and can't remember what happened the night before. Brendon is supposed to be getting married the same day Mysti is but when he finds his soon to be bride in a very compromising position. When he sees Mysti again after so long these turn into a wild ride for the both of them and their friends. The next day the gang goes on their usual fact finding adventure to find out what happened, who with, why they have a certain things in thier room and so many of unanaswered questions. Mysti is determined to get everything straightened up so she can marry Norbert but will Brendon be able to convince her he is the right one for her?

This book will have you laughing out loud. I couldn't put this down once I started it. The chemistry between Brendon and Mysti is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommednt his book to any reader.

'I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. I enjoyed it so much I bought my own copy.

The book blurb for this novel was intriguing. Unfortunately, for me, it failed to live up to my expectations. The more I heard about previous escapades of Mysti May, Brendon (or sometimes reads as Brandon) and their friends, the less I liked them. Actually the book seemed like a whole lot of sex scenes joined by smaller pockets of unbelievable escapades. The sex scenes were so repetitive that I started majorly skimming. If you like characters who find drinking to the point you don’t even remember what happened the previous night, one-night stands with whoever takes their fancy, making out with a member of the same sex, public displays of sexual antics and who barely blink when their suite is trashed and strangers in various state of undress are found throughout their suite, this book is for you. I just didn’t feel the love.

I received an ARC from Booksprout in return for posting a review.

Ok, I have a complaint. You see, The Better Bride is the first book in the Accidentally Married series that I’ve read, and the first I’ve read by either of its authors Natalie Knight and Daphne Dawn. I feel cheated. Why because this book was totally yummy, and since it’s book 4 that means that I missed three tastes of yumminess before it. I’ve got to fix that ASAP. This was one totally fun billionaire romance. I frankly adore Brendon and Mysti are a great couple and I loved watching along as they came to realize and act on their tie to each other despite the odds. The rest of the cast of characters is pretty amazing as well. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend.

Brendon &Mysti
Well Brendon is to marry Henrietta. So Brandon goes to Vegas to meet up with his so to be bride and what does he find ( well read and find out this part) he doesn’t go for what he finds and breaks off the wedding and makes her leave the room. Then Mysti and her crew of Becky( Brandon’s sister),Sammi,& Percy they all jump on a private plane to Tijuana for the bachelorette party that is so lame that the girls are like so upset and once Becky spills that her brother is getting married the same weekend in Vegas all he** breaks loose in Mysti head because Brandon was her first crush and she can not stop comparing him to Norbert the man she is to marry. The next thing all the girls know is they are waking up in Vegas the next morning and Mysti has the big di** in her face and this sexy voice saying things to her and she is like I know that voice but.... read the book like voluntary did and enjoy.

The reviews on all the books in this series show as mixed, some loved the books, others, not so much. Personally, I loved every, single freaking one of them & couldn't get enough of the wickedly, hilarious banter and the steamy, sexy encounters were oh so hot! The imagination of these two authors is unbelievable as I thought several times when reading the various books in this series, 'How did these two authors dream this sh** up` (and said with all due respect and love). Book 4, The Better Bride is also the final book of A Billionaire Hangover Romance - Acccidentially Married series which is disappointing, would have loved to see one more book checking out where all the couples are 5 years later, and of course, on a crazy vacation. The Better Bride I thought is by far the best book in the series and even if you didn't love one or more of the previous books in the series I would seriously recommend one-clicking this final, phenomenal read!

What an adventure! Great group of friends and liquid courage really get them into the swing of Vegas. Their antics are hilarious and even a bit dangerous. Brendon is Mysti May's stability, she just needs a little convincing. They are definitely sexually compatible, she just has a few...skeletons lol. Their one night in Vegas is full of enough drama for a week, lol. Way too many outlandish mysteries for me to even begin to think I can figure out what happened, they are shocking and entertaining. It was more of 3 1/2 star read to me because I just would have preferred more focus on the couple instead of their re-enactment of their hungover antics dominating the plot, they had plenty of sex...need a bit more romance to support their love match.

Thank you Natalie for writing a great last book of a series. I always love reading a story that continues on with other characters. This book is fast paced and upbeat. You could easily read in an evening.

Misty is marrying Mr. Norman Butts, a man that likes to keep her on a short leash. He even has rules for her and her friends at her bachelorette weekend. But, she has a difficult time being a good girl. Even though she has always had feelings for someone else.

Brandon is the brother of Misty's bff and he is engaged to the wrong girl. He finds this out when he catches her with 12 male erotic dancers the night before their wedding. So he calls it off.

Just when he decides to leave, in walks a drunk Misty and she demands that he go with her. You can probably guess what happens next, but you need to read what happens next. You'll enjoy this oh-so-steamy novel.

OMG! This is the funniest, sexiest hottest books I have read in a while! This is an action packed, hysterical roller coaster ride! Four best friends try to piece together the last 24 hours when they wake up in a Las Vegas hotel suite! Mysti May wakes up next to her college crush, her best friend's brother Brendon. They are supposed to be marrying other people later that day, but when Mysti May realizes that she is now married to Brendon, the laughs and the hotness begins! The story with them, and their friends took me from laughing out loud to fanning myself over the super hotness that is Mysti May and Brendon! There are smashed rental cars, tigers, lobsters with cocktail swords, male dancers that are slowly coming back to their fuzzy memories. Throw in a crazy ex and the hotness is amped up!! I highly recommend you click this one now!!!!

This was not as good as I had hoped. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into the story. I found myself skimming through pages just to get it over with. I had hoped for a more enjoyable read but I was disappointed. At times the story just reminded me of the movie "The Hangover" but with the girls who had gotten wasted and couldn't remember the things they had done. I rarely give below a four star review on any book that I have read but with this one I had to debate whether or not I even felt comfortable giving it three stars. I'm sure this would be a good and enjoyable read for some but sadly it was not one for me.

Raucous romp! Four "funky" best friends (BFFs) and one friend's brother on a Patron adventure. Hilarious hi-jinks that border on the absurd. Even so, they are highly entertaining. The four BFFs are certainly exceedingly quirky in nature; not mainstream at all. Quips, banter, repartee, do not take away from the family-type friendship the females share. Action, adventure, drama, mystery, romance, twists and turns, all unfold into an unforgettable adventure. Extra steamy love scenes abound throughout this novel. I think I certainly will remember this novel for it's uniqueness!

Cudo's to Ms. Knight and Ms. Dawn .... you are on my hit list and I mean that in a most positive light! :) J.

While this book was fairly exciting and had lots going on, I just couldn't get into it. I really wanted to like this book because the summary sounded good initially, but unfortunately I did not. This book had a lot of promise and the idea of the story was interesting but I didn't really care for the delivery. There just seem to be too many crazy ridiculous moments that even for a work of fiction seem too far-fetched. It just was unbelievable. I didn't find the writing too bad but I think a lot of the story was just too many elements and too many crazy things. This reminded me of a female version of the hangover, but for me it didn't work.

I’d say it was the female version of hangover but it’s not, really. Just that trying to describe it makes you think of that. It’s actually much better. Not just because it has sex scenes that will make you wet, but because there’s even more action! The characters are awesome, which makes me want to read the rest of the series to get to know the other husbands better. If they are half as awesome as Brandon, their stories will be superb!

As an independent reviewer for Romance Authors that Tock, I can only give it four hearts although it would get 4.75 if I could do partials! I didn’t have any tears at any point but that not because of any lack on the writers part. It’s just not the tear jerker type of a story! It’s a feel good story with hot guys and fun times! Enjoy!!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
This was very exciting book to read. Brendon and Mysti , just before their wedding Bredon finds his girlfriend in bed with 12 male strippers, while Mysti goes out of her hen night and once the tequila comes out, who knows what happens. Mysti is having second thoughts as Norbert is very controlling and tells her what to do, what to wear and how to be behave. When she meets up with Brendon who is her best friends brother, sparks fly and its gets very interesting. This is a great book and the story flowed easily and was easy to flow. Great book by Natalie Knight. This was the first book in this series that I read and I will definitely look now at the other books. Highly recommend

But for that one little word...

You know the word I mean. The one we are inundated with, from every form of media, everywhere we look.
That one special word that shows a decided lack of imagination. The go-to word lazy writers use to sound, well, however it is they think it makes them sound. The one word, without which, this so-called 'romance' wouldn't be 3 pages long! This overused, overrated, unimaginative word, writers fall back on, when they lack actual writing skill.
And this book uses it, in spades.
I reached my saturation point at the 16% mark, and deleted it from my kindle.
If you haven't yet had your fill of that one, oh so special word yet, you might very well get enough of it here.

3 Stars

While I appreciate the great efforts these two awesome writers took in writing this romantic comedy masterpiece, it didn’t tickle my fancy.
Don’t get me wrong, this book is hilarious and chock full of c&@k.
Lots of crazy antics on behalf of four besties lead by Misti May the Texas beauty queen who can’t grow up. Toss in a hot stud of a man named Brandon and tequila and you guess it. Chemistry explodes all around on the way to the altar. DNF.

Against her friends wishes Mysti May is getting married the next day to her possessive fiancé and she will soon become Mrs. Butt, but first she gets to enjoy her bachelorette party.

Brendon is engaged to be married as well until he sees his fiancée with another man, so a drink is in order or maybe a lot of drinks.

What a difference a day makes when they wake up the next morning married and in bed together. A journey filled with humor and twists ensues as they try to put together the previous evening as well as what they want in the future. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Mysti May will put with just about anything from her fiance even his name Norbert Butts because he is super rich. The night of her bachelorette party he gives her a list of what she can and cannot wear, drink or do. She has always been on the wild side and all her friends are the same. She still has a big crush on her best friend's brother, Brendon. He is also getting married on the same day as her. All that changes when they wake up the day of their weddings in bed together. This is a quick fun read with the feel of "The Hangover". It is a lot humor and sex scenes. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

The Better Bride will have you laughing from page one. This is a fantastic romantic comedy with a well written story line and amazing characters filled with mystery, action, comedy and a steamy romance.
Mysti May wakes up on the day of her wedding next to a naked man who isnt her fiance. Brendon cant believe that the woman he has been attracted to for a long time is his wife. But Mysti May cant remember anything from the day before. Its up to her and her friends to piece the mystery together with a little bit of help from Brendon and the other husbands.

Closer to 3.5 stars...

The Hangover meets Crank, meets Bridesmaids all with a serious dose of porn worthy sex... Every few pages. The story started out great, fun, feisty, though somewhat predictable. Though I read all kinds of romance novels, and enjoy all kinds of kink, the sex scenes got tedious and started to detract from the story. Honestly, they're were a few times I just skimmed over them. That and the fact that Mysti May was so annoyingly insistent that she fix things with Norbert, her intended fiancé. Even though he sounds like a total whiney, controlling, putz. Overall, it was a fun story though and had a redeeming HEA which is what earned it the 3.5 ⭐ from me.

Wherever she goes trouble follows. He longs to be the one who cleans up the messes and safeguards her heart. The mystery is not how they feel about each other, but can they survive the fallout of it all. Dawn and Knight are a temptation. Always over the top their blend of extreme seduction and enchanting emotion makes for irresistible fun Mysti May and Brendon are recklessly in love, their bodies know it, now their hearts need to catch up. The Better Bride is a feast for the hormones and a punch to the heart. (3.5 stars)
