He’s there to stop a wedding.

Lorelei Spencer thinks Tiff has finally found the right man. When Tiff asks Lorelei to keep Max occupied, she takes her job seriously. Too seriously.
They never expected to wake up married. Can this unlikely couple unravel what happened in Vegas? And when they uncover the truth, will they really want an annulment?

Melinda Curtis
258 books1,297 followersPrior to writing romance, award-winning, USA Today Bestseller Melinda Curtis was a junior manager for a Fortune 500 company, which meant when she flew on the private jet she was relegated to the jump seat—otherwise known as the potty. After grabbing her pen (and a parachute) she made the jump to full-time writer. Between writing sweet romance and sweet romantic comedy, Melinda finds time to bond with her husband over home remodeling projects. She recently came to grips with the fact that she’s an empty nester and a grandma, concepts easier to grasp than jet-setting on a potty.

How is this series so good?? ⭐️⭐️🥰
December 1, 2016
They just keep getting better! This new edition to the Bridesmaids series is funny, romantic, and has an element of mystery.
Lorelei Spencer wakes up to a man's voice answering his phone. The problem is that the man's voice seems to be in the same room! Worse, she recognizes that voice as Maxwell Bonander's. Max, the man who she's convinced doesn't even like her.
Max wakes up to his phone ringing, but there's someone else in the room! It's only when he dares to open his eyes that he recognizes Lorelei. What could she possibly be doing in his room? And, why is she holding what looks to be a wedding dress? And, worse, why does he have a ring on his finger!
Max and Lorelei are in Las Vegas for a candy convention and mysteriously wake up married. What happens in the pages that follow is a hilarious romp in their efforts to unravel the events of the night before and how they ended up tying the knot. However, as they work toward a solution, do they really want to undo it?
In addition to the laughter and mystery is an underlying story of two individuals who reach out to the other with true compassion and support.

You May Now Kiss the Bridesmaid is the fourth installment from The Bridesmaid series. What a fun read! I laughed so hard reading this, that I was brought to tears. Max and Lorelei are two characters a reader doesn't want to forget.
A great, fun, clean and romantic book!
5 plus stars.

This book started off so well, I really thought it was going to be the best in the series so far but I was disappointed. The writing of them going from place to place became really boring.
The 2nd star was for the fact that I did like the character development of Max throughout the book.

This is a fun, entertaining, quick read. Max and Lorelie are interesting, relatable, intriguing, entertaining, complex character. I enjoyed them as individuals and their romance – with all it’s twists and turns. Curtis once again packs a lot into less than 100 pages. This story works and I didn’t feel like I was missing anything. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story. I loved that we got to see the characters from the first book in the series. The story is easy to read and get into.
I enjoyed the audio version of this story and the narrator.

Another winner for Melinda Curtis
I loved this book as much as the previous three and look forward to reading the fifth one very soon. The bridesmaid series is very enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

This was great. Waking up married in Vegas and not remembering. Then walking from place to place you were putting the pieces together. One of these places was a strip joint where the groom did a horrible strip dance proposal. So funny.

Great book!
I am reading the series and really enjoying every book!
This one was so much fun from the beginning. I love it so much.
I do think the entire series should be read, but I think each book could be read separately.

Full of Vegas cliches, but it was cute with a few funny moments. I do wish we got more insight into the characters themself. But was a quick little enjoyable read.

This is probably the cutest of all the stories this series, at least for me! I love it because it reminded me of that one Friends episode that I love so much. 🥹

What do you get when you throw an uptight CFO, and absentminded scientist and a man who seems to be in many places at once? A charming, funny and romantic romp that will keep you turning the pages until you come to the end, which comes all too soon.
When Lorelei Spencer wakes to the sound of lifelong acquaintance/friend/crush Max Bonander’s voice in a motel room that isn’t hers, she starts to panic. When she sees the humongous ring on her finger and the wedding dress on the floor, the craziness ensues. As Max and Lorelei work to trace their steps and find their belongings on their way to get an annulment, they start to recall the night before and their very real feelings for each other. But Max has been toeing the family line for so long, will he manage to put his happiness before family obligation. Or will he lose the one woman who makes him tick before he ever really has her?
This book is another delightful addition to Melinda Curtis’ Bridesmaid series and I loved, loved, loved it. Rodney was a hoot as the comic relief. It would actually be fun to see him get his own story as he breaks free from his crazy family business.
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. I voluntarily reviewed it with my honest opinion.

Cute story.

Max, the CEO of Bon-Bon Chocolates, is sent by his father to stop his sister's wedding. Max, still seeking his dad's approval, flies out to Vegas to stop the marriage per dad's orders. Tiff has a bad track record where men are concerned, but thinks she's finally found "the one". Their father, who used to run Bon-Bon Chocolates, nearly ran it into the ground with his overspending and poor management. Tiff is now the head of the company with her brother the CEO. Tiff, knowing Max is on his way, begs her best friend Lorelei to stall him.
Lorelei has had a crush on Max forever, but knows he sees her as more of a "sister". Upon graduating from college, Lorelei earns a position in Bon-Bon Chocolates research division. She's developed varieties of chocolate that are to curb the effects of alcohol in your system so that you don't get drunk and drive. She and Tiff are at a convention in Vegas to showcase the new chocolates--that Max knows nothing about. When Max arrives at the convention to talk sense into Tiff, Lorelei stalls him by having him try the chocolates--which she accidentally exchanged with another prototype....Needless to say, after one too many drinks and chocolates they end up married and in bed together! As they backtrack and try to figure out what happened, they begin to realize that they WANT to stay married.
This was a HILLARIOUS, quirky novel. The hoop wedding dress that wouldn't fit through the door, the blue suede shoes, Max singing and proposing to Lorelei on stage all contributed to the funniest wedding experience two people could have. I loved it! I haven't had the privilege to read the other novels in the series, but will go back and read them now. I read a gifted copy of this novel and all opinions stated are my own.

Lorelei Spencer and Maxwell Bonander have a cool professional working relationship. He is the CFO of Bon-Bon Chocolate where she works in research. He seems to disapprove of everything that she does. Their families may have known each other for years, but they've grown apart. Where has her childhood hero gone? After a chocolate taste testing mishap, she finds herself married to Max. Neither can remember exactly what happened, but Lorelei is secretly overjoyed. She has loved him forever. I cared for Lorelei. She's a wonderful mix of brilliant and spontaneous. Max is all about pleasing his father even though it doesn't make him happy. Only in Vegas could this craziness happen. Their romance is definitely non-traditional. I laughed at the wedding dress from hell and Max's eye-catching attire. Only Melinda Curtis could combine heartbreak and humor. I cared for this couple and wanted them to get the HEA that they deserved. I love The Bridesmaid Series.

Lorelai and Max definitely have an interesting history together. Nevermind the fact that Lorelai has had a crush on Max as long as she can remember. She’s also the bride-to-be’s best friend and Max is the bride-to-be’s brother. So when they wake up married right before Tif’s wedding with no memory of how it happened, things get a little bit tricky to say the least.
Having read all the other Bridesmaid books in the series to date, I have to say that this is my favorite one so far. This was such a fun story! I enjoyed the flashbacks to the night before so that we get glimpses of how the story unfolds little by little while also getting chunks of the story in present time. There’s just something so fun about a wedding that you don’t remember! While it does take on a bit of a “wild goose chase” feel, it’s a great ride and a very entertaining story. And as always, the writing is excellent. Even if you haven’t read any of the other Bridesmaid books in the series, I highly recommend you pick up this one!
(I received an ARC of this book. The above review is my honest opinion.)

This was a delightful, fun novella! I enjoyed it very much and read the whole thing in one sitting! This whole series has been such a fun series to read! I love the humor! The characters and situations they get themselves into are hilarious! You find yourself laughing out loud! This book opens up with Lorelei and Max discovering they are in hotel room in Las Vegas MARRIED and have no recollection as to how they got that way! Max was sent by his father to Las Vegas to talk his sister, Tiffany, out of getting married to a man she's only known a short time since she's been engaged and hasn't gotten married several times already! He and Lorelei work together at his family's chocolate factory. She is the science "nerd" that discovers new products. No way would he ever marry her so WHAT HAPPENED???? You have to read this book to find out how they go from that hotel room to retrace their steps from the wedding chapel on to see if they can untangle the mystery! It is a hilarious adventure! I loved it!

A sweet, short and fun read! I loved everything about it.
But what happens in Vegas absolutely doesn't stay there for Max, bachelor son of the world renowned Bonander Bon Bon's.
Waking up married certainly wasn't something Max had expected. Or not remembering how it happened. And certainly not to nerdy Lorelei Spencer. He had known her since she was a little girl and had always thought of her as a sister. Well maybe not always...but never had he dreamed of marrying anyone, especially her.
Lorelei has always secretly loved Max. But never in her wildest dreams did she think to wake up next to him married. Or without remembering. If only she could make sense out of what's happening.
As these two traipse around Vegas on a wild goose chase, they become increasingly close. They see a side of one another that makes the other seem better. And when things come to light will they be able to go back to the way they were before or will their spoof of a wedding g make more of a mark on them that either expected.

This is the fourth book in The Bridesmaid Series by Melinda Curtis. It is a fun romantic comedy series and if the brides, bridesmaids, grooms and groomsmen are going to find themselves in a funny and uncomfortable situation it is probably in one of these stories!
Everyone knows that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? WRONG! Lorelei Spencer and Maxwell Bonander wake up from a night of drinking and eating chocolates finding themselves married and neither of them can remember what seems to have been the most epic night of their lives. While they can't remember it at all, it seems to have been plastered all over social media and their friends and family are demanding answers.
Max's plan is to get this all taken care of, but it's not that simple for Lorelei because she has loved Max for years.
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
