This was a cute book, a best friends to lovers book. We meet Tyler who is coming back home after trying it as a big city lawyer and hating it, he wants to come back to all that he misses including and especially his bestie Addison. Addison is so excited that Tyler is coming back but her other really good friend is getting married and she is going to be one of the groomsmen in name only, she will actually be a bridesmaid and going to have to wear a dress something she detest but atleast she is being included since if any of the guys ever have a girlfriend those girl tend to never really want to accept Addie's relationship with them. Tyler can't believe that he seems to be checking out his bestfriend, a tomboy someone who knows all about him and he does not want to rock the boat in that relationship because not only could that mess them up but it could mess up the relationship with all the other guys and they would never forgive him. So even though they tried to avoid their chemistry they eventually give in, but she is offered a job 2 hours away and he doesn't want to hold her back so he breaks her heart, breaking his at the same time and now he has to fix it before the town crucifies him along with their friends..Enjoy!

Just One of the Groomsmen by Cindi Madsen

Things are changing for Tucker and Addie. And between them.
Friends to lovers story. A charming contemporary romance filled with poignant moments of self awareness and changing emotions.

Addie has been a tomboy all her life. Her best friends are the four men she grew up with. She plays football, plays poker and generally feels the most comfortable with them. But now that one of the four is getting married, she’ll need to wear a dress and heels to the wedding and take dancing lessons. It’s a new experience for her. But once Tucker catches a glimpse of her legs under a car, he suddenly sees the sexy female instead of his best friend.

Excerpt:
“You look great,” he said, and it warmed her from the inside out, even though she told herself she’d asked, and he’d simply answered a question. The “you look like you,” he added left her wondering what exactly that meant. Of course she looked like herself.
When she caught her reflection in the window of Ford’s truck, she decided that for all Tucker’s talk about not liking having to lie, he was a big fat liar. The last word she’d use to describe the girl in the reflection with the grass-stained clothes and lopsided ponytail was “great.”
Not that she cared.
She used to not care.”

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. I also purchased a copy to share. ( )

Cindi Madsen is the queen of feel good books. She writes these amazing characters that I can relate too, and feel for. This is the perfect vacation read, fun, uplifting, sexy and filled with good vibes.

This book centers around a man Tucker, who left his small town to practice law at a big city law firm only to find it didn't make him happy. He moves back home and runs into a pair of sexy legs sticking out from under a car that happen to belong to his childhood BFF and one of "the boys". This attraction just can't be, it might ruin their group dynamic, right? Addie, the girl with the legs is a tomboy to the bone. She has some tingly feelings of her own that don't go with the BFF one of the boys history. On top of that one of the boys is getting married and he wants Addie to be a "Groomsman", which is why she was wearing the dress under the car. The struggle is real, trying to stay in the friend zone while the tingles are happening and getting stronger. Fun times, watching them fight not to cross lines, knowing it's inevitable. These two fight a good snarky fight.

The other characters in the book all support the story perfectly. Each character's personality was developed and each had their own little moments. The friendship tis group has is so positive and uplifting.

Feel good baby ! Yes I ended it with a smile.

I received this book from the author for an honest review. ( )
