Review: The Last Bride Standing by Ginny Baird

Synopsis

Opposites attractā€•and go head-to-headā€•in this cheerfully irresistible small-town romance.

With just ten days left till her folksā€™ loan comes due, ever-pragmatic Charlotte Delaney is officially throwing in the towel on the bet that she made with her sisters. It looks like itā€™s up to her to save their parentsā€™ cafĆ© and beloved home with a marriage of convenience to her familyā€™s rival. Itā€™s time to get the in-name-only nuptials over with. Of course, Charlotteā€™s never been one to easily admit defeatā€¦

Aidan Strong has exactly zero intentions of marrying one of the Delaney sistersā€•even Charlotte, his first crush. Heā€™s come to Majestic, Maine, to make things rightā€¦only Charlotte has other plans.

Sheā€™s challenging Aidan to a new wager. And the prize? His billion-dollar coffee empire. Now the tiny seaside town of Majestic is about to witness the ultimate game of heartsā€¦and winner takes all.

Review

This is the third and final installment of the Majestic Maine. I have enjoyed all three books and find the sisters lovable. It's a fun and lighthearted romance novel where two opposite people find each other attractive but annoying at the same time. The story is all fun and games, and it's a good relaxing read. Not something with a complicated plot or many twists or turns, it is for people looking for a sweet and clean escape into romance.

Charlotte lost the bet with her sisters and is now trying to come to terms with her impending marriage to Aiden. Someone they knew as children but haven't seen in a long, long time. However, when Aiden comes to Majestic he has a surprise. He doesn't want to marry her or any of her sisters, for that matter. But instead of making her happy, this rattles Charlotte. She feels like he has been playing games with them. Now, she wants him to pay.

Aiden thinks Charlotte will be relieved and happy. Instead, she is angry with him and has placed a new bet. And he finds himself unable to refuse. With the stakes as high as his coffee empire he absolutely must win. But what happens when he spends more time in Majestic, getting to know his childhood crush?

The story is happy and heartwarming. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to all romance lovers, especially if you enjoy contemporary romance.

P.S. Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book.
