It Takes Two by Jenny Holiday book review

This is book #2 of the Bridesmaids Behaving Badly series and it's a perfect romantic comedy.  After reading the first book, I was ready to see who the next couple would be.  The settings are fun because weddings can be crazy and the author can do a lot of things with the characters that you can't do in an everyday contemporary romance novel.  In this book Jane is getting married to Cameron.  Jane is all about a low-key wedding because the last wedding they all planned was anything but low key.  However, when the bachelor and bachelorette party turns into a competition, it is anything but low key.  In fact, the running joke is that the bride is trying to be "low-key".  Jane's best friend, Wendy Liu is in charge of planning the party.  She is competing against Jane's brother, Noah Denning. 

They are both high powered attorneys.  Noah practices law in New York and Jane practices law in Toronto.  They used to be close and they grew up together, with Noah always protecting Jane and Wendy.  However, when Noah stood Wendy up at prom, he shattered her heart and she has never really gotten over that hurt.  From that point on, Wendy has made it her mission to see Noah as little as possible.  That becomes a bit difficult during the wedding festivities.  The reader can clearly see that the arguing and witty comebacks between Wendy and Noah are filled with sexual tension.  Wendy is all about one night stands, but Noah is more of a serial monogamist. Noah also has a thing against sleeping with his sister's best friend. Wedding shenanigans force the two together and they have to deal with the new direction their relationship is going.  A funny, steamy, sexy wedding romance is a perfect pick for this summer's wedding season!
