I have enjoyed the previous books in this series and the author has loads of potential but this one wasn’t as good it felt rushed and the connection between the two main characters wasn’t coming through.

Bailey is a professional bridesmaid helping couples have the wedding of their dreams and although she believes in love and soulmates she just doesn’t believe in it for herself. But recently she has noticed a wedding crasher, tall and handsome man that sneaks in at all her weddings, she is curious to find out why, will her discovery lead her to love or heartache?

Axel is a rich, successful business man who has recently taken to sneaking into weddings at his hotel, only so he can watch the woman who stole his heart with one glance. He’s been trying to gather the courage to speak to her for months so when she approaches him he believes it is his destiny, will he reveal his reasons for his behaviour and if so will she stay or run?

It’s a cute read. Will I read this author again the answer is yes but this one wasn’t a massive hit with me. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this book. 3 🌟 read.

Bailey is a professional bridesmaid/groomsmaid and she's amazing at her job. After seeing her parents breakup she never thinks she'll be married but is happy helping others down the aisle. However she has noticed a crasher to her weddings and never gets a chance to question him. Yet when she is out with her current clients Parker and Anthony she sees him again and points it out to the guys. The push her to find out who the mystery crasher is. When she learns that he is a billionaire that lives in the hotel this makes her even more curious about him. Axel has been drawn to Bailey since he first saw her but he could never get a chance to talk to her. So he went about crashing the weddings she put on. When Bailey finally meets him he acts like he doesn't know her until he whispers a little something in her ear that sets her off. Will Axel come clean about why he keeps crashing the weddings? Can Baily see that he is the one for her?

This is an amazing story that will hook you from the first chapter and leave you wanting more with the last. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

As a self proclaimed professional bridesmaid Bailey doesn't think love is for her.
While at a breakfast meeting withher gay couple her mysterious wedding crasher appears..
He is incognito.
Now the mission to uncover the man who crashes all her weddings.
Turns out Bailey os afraid of love because she had bad role models.
So when het mystery guy Axel the billionaire sets his sights on het she freaks and bolts.
When she finds a note in a stack of presents for her gay couple she asks them about it and there a little tentative about telling her it was from Axel. They didn't want to tell her about it because they were unsure of what axl had said to her to make her bolt like she did and then she realized she may have messed up the best thing that ever happened to her. This is where her friends come together for an intervention. Turns out she didn't mess things up after all Axel is still pursuing her and doesn't blame her for any faults. This is a quick little read it's funny it's clean and it's a great little romance of finding happily ever after.

Bailey's a professional bridesmaid/groomsmaid. Her job is to make sure everything's perfect on her clients' big day. And it is. From the cake to the decorations to the mother of the bride/groom's dress, everything is as it should be.

The only hitch is the wedding crasher who shows up at every wedding she's in.

Axel's that wedding crasher. He's a somewhat eccentric billionaire genius who happens to own the hotel where most of Bailey's weddings happen. He might say he sneaks in to taste the quiche, but really he sneaks in to see Bailey.

Bailey and Axel's story is short and sweet with a few hiccups as they gain ground with each other and what they feel for one another. I struggled with those growing feelings they had for each other though. They felt largely superficial, like they needed more time to develop deeper roots. But even that lack of in this story won't keep me from reading another by Ms. Sweet.

Bailey was a professional bridesmaid. It was her business and she had done very well at making weddings the best they could be. She was confident, independent, curvy woman. Axel was a wedding crasher.He was at every wedding that Bailey planned, but was never on the wedding list. Bailey was going to find out who he was and why he kept showing up. Axel was a very rich entrepreneur and he wanted to meet Bailey but was too shy to introduce himself. When they finally connected with each other - It was the beginning of the end. Axel knew he wanted to marry Bailey and he told her this. Bailey wasn’t as positive. Did they both want the same thing? Did they have the magic? Even though there was a big age difference, did that really matter? It was a very entertaining story with very interesting, quirky, funny characters. I think you will enjoy the read!

This was a fun book to read about Bailey and Axel. Bailey was a 21 year old student, professional bridesmaid/“grooms maid” and wedding planner who didn’t believe in marriage. Axel was a 40 something tech genius billionaire who lived in the hotel where most old Bailey’s wedding receptions took place. He would crash the weddings, eat the food, and lead the chicken dance at the reception. He finally admitted he was doing this because he had fallen for Bailey. Could the older billionaire and young student and professional bridesmaid find true love and happiness?

I enjoyed this instalove book which included epilogues to see what the future contained for these two. I recommend this short, fun story.

Bailey was a professional bridesmaid. She noticed that the same man was crashing all of her weddings at the hotel they were held at. Axel owned the hotel and was a very successful older man. He had determined that Bailey was the woman for him but he didn’t know how to let her know. Taking a chance Bailey confronted her wedding crasher and discovered he was working up the nerve to talk to her. She could not believe it. He is handsome and successful, why would he want a curvy girl like her. Great easy read.

Slick was book 3 in the Curvy Ambition Series by Phoebe Sweet and I loved it. I will have go grab the first two. Slick is about Bailey and Axel. Bailey is a student and wedding planner that doesn't believe in HEA's. Axel is a reclusive billionaire who also loves to crash weddings as a hobby. Bailey is shocked when she learns the identity of mystery wedding crasher. She had idea he was wanting to ask her out. If you enjoy insta love, you will love Bailey and Axel's story!

Taking a chance Bailey confronted her wedding crasher and discovered he was working up the nerve to talk to her. She couldn't believe it. He's handsome and successful, why would he want her?
Axel just has to show her he wants all of her and to give them a chance. Don't let the past shape your future.

Bailey was a professional bridesmaid. She noticed that the same man was crashing all of her weddings at this one hotel that she worked. Axel owned the hotel and was a very successful older man. He had determined that Bailey was the woman for him but he didn’t know how to let her know. Fun and cute read.

A sweet, short insta romance.

This is Bailey's story. Can be read as a standalone but best to have read Abby's & Ash's story to get the back stories of their friendship etc.

Looking forward to reading Cecily's story.

This was an interesting read. A professional bridesmaid calls out a wedding Crashers, who happens to be a billionaire. The characters were good as well as the secondary characters. Love Anthony and Parker. The story flows.
