But when she ends up officiating an unplanned wedding for a newly engaged couple in a park, her life is turned upside down. The video of the ceremony goes viral, and she finds herself in the unlikely position of being a sought-after local wedding officiant. Spending her free time overseeing\u00a0\u201cI dos\u201d isn\u2019t her most strategic career move, but she enjoys it, except for the type A dude-bro wedding planner she\u2019s forced to work with.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Former pro-football event manager Lear is a people person, but after his longtime girlfriend betrayed him, he isn\u2019t looking for love. He knows how to execute events and likes being in control, so working with an opinionated and inflexible officiant who can\u2019t stand him is not high on his list. He\u2019s never had trouble winning people over, but RJ seems immune to his charms.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Surrounded by love at every turn, their physical attraction pulls them together despite their best efforts to stay an arm\u2019s length apart. Lear refuses to get hurt again. RJ refuses to let herself be vulnerable to anyone. But when it comes to happily\u00a0ever\u00a0after, their clients might not be the only ones saying \u201cI do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Sep 6, 2022<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>RJ<\/strong> is an up-and-coming divorce attorney who reached notoriety when she officiates a wedding. Now everyone is reaching out wanting her to officiate their upcoming nuptials. She doesn\u2019t mind as long as it doesn\u2019t interfere with her career. The biggest snag is working alongside a hotshot event planner that makes her blood boil.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lear<\/strong> is a former football events manager who has switched gears just a bit and started working as an event planner. He has his share of heartbreak but that doesn\u2019t stop him from working weddings as well. He is naturally competitive and that comes into play with RJ. She brings out his competitive side and the two bicker back and forth on every single wedding they attend.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">This was a fantastic fun read. I enjoyed RJ and Lear\u2019s relationship from beginning to end. They went from enemies to friends to lovers in an organic way.\u00a0 I love a good enemy to friends read and this one fit the bill. Both RJ and Lear were kind of grumpy together which was different than the normal sunshine and grumpy pair.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The steam factor was level 10. They scorch the pages. The author does a great job building it up and letting all the intensity from them their day-to-day fights spill out into the bedroom. I loved it all! However, she relied too heavily on the sex instead of the emotional connection. The characters don\u2019t develop until the very end when they finally stop fighting and let their guards down to express themselves.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, I enjoyed this fun read. I recommend this for fans of contemporary romance lovers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2GSFjV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3qj3xvQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/do-you-take-this-man-denise-williams\/1140672920?ean=9780593437209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/do-you-take-this-man-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Denise_Williams_Do_You_Take_This_Man?id=6zhTEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Divorce attorney RJ would never describe herself as romantic.

But when she ends up officiating an unplanned wedding for a newly engaged couple in a park, her life is turned upside down. The video of the ceremony goes viral, and she finds herself in the unlikely position of being a sought-after local wedding officiant. Spending her free time overseeing\u00a0\u201cI dos\u201d isn\u2019t her most strategic career move, but she enjoys it, except for the type A dude-bro wedding planner she\u2019s forced to work with.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Former pro-football event manager Lear is a people person, but after his longtime girlfriend betrayed him, he isn\u2019t looking for love. He knows how to execute events and likes being in control, so working with an opinionated and inflexible officiant who can\u2019t stand him is not high on his list. He\u2019s never had trouble winning people over, but RJ seems immune to his charms.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Surrounded by love at every turn, their physical attraction pulls them together despite their best efforts to stay an arm\u2019s length apart. Lear refuses to get hurt again. RJ refuses to let herself be vulnerable to anyone. But when it comes to happily\u00a0ever\u00a0after, their clients might not be the only ones saying \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Sep 6, 2022<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>RJ<\/strong> is an up-and-coming divorce attorney who reached notoriety when she officiates a wedding. Now everyone is reaching out wanting her to officiate their upcoming nuptials. She doesn\u2019t mind as long as it doesn\u2019t interfere with her career. The biggest snag is working alongside a hotshot event planner that makes her blood boil.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lear<\/strong> is a former football events manager who has switched gears just a bit and started working as an event planner. He has his share of heartbreak but that doesn\u2019t stop him from working weddings as well. He is naturally competitive and that comes into play with RJ. She brings out his competitive side and the two bicker back and forth on every single wedding they attend.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">This was a fantastic fun read. I enjoyed RJ and Lear\u2019s relationship from beginning to end. They went from enemies to friends to lovers in an organic way.\u00a0 I love a good enemy to friends read and this one fit the bill. Both RJ and Lear were kind of grumpy together which was different than the normal sunshine and grumpy pair.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The steam factor was level 10. They scorch the pages. The author does a great job building it up and letting all the intensity from them their day-to-day fights spill out into the bedroom. I loved it all! However, she relied too heavily on the sex instead of the emotional connection. The characters don\u2019t develop until the very end when they finally stop fighting and let their guards down to express themselves.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, I enjoyed this fun read. I recommend this for fans of contemporary romance lovers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2GSFjV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3qj3xvQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/do-you-take-this-man-denise-williams\/1140672920?ean=9780593437209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/do-you-take-this-man-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Denise_Williams_Do_You_Take_This_Man?id=6zhTEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28383"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28825,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28383\/revisions\/28825"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
