About The Wedding Crasher and the Cowboy:
Kennedy Martin is shocked when her ex calls days before his wedding, expressing serious second thoughts. Doesn’t he see his fiancée's actually the glaze to his doughnut? Now she’s got no choice but to crash his wedding and convince the man he’s with the right woman.Instead, she crashes into the absolute last man she ever wanted to see: Maverick Owens, her old college nemesis. Maverick is still as awful, infuriating, and just The Worst as ever—even if he looks way too sexy in his cowboy hat. And of course he’s convinced she’s actually at the seaside ranch to ruin the wedding.
Now the only way to get some face time with the groom and save this marriage is to participate in all sorts of pre-wedding events…with Maverick. Stuck on a canoe, making small-talk at cocktail hour, and even a hoedown with her worst enemy? This just might be the longest week of her life…

**My thoughts**
It's an absolutely formulaic story, and yet this one is so well written that you almost don't even realize it.
Kennedy and Maverick were absolute rivals back in college. They essentially hated each other and then blissfully didn't run into each other again for years. And then when Kennedy comes racing to a ranch to help out a friend at his destination wedding, they run into each other again. Maverick's family owns the ranch.
The whole cover story that Kennedy and her best friend Andrew use to explain why they are at the ranch for the wedding is flimsy at best. I don't see how anyone fell for it or didn't question them more along the way.
But our focus is on Kennedy and Maverick and how they go from enemies to lovers.
You know that when people proclaim to hate each other but are constantly competing that there is a passion there that easily translates into something else.
But what I appreciated with this pairing was that even though it was only a week together, it still had that feeling of a slow burn and laying a foundation of friendship prior to wanting to rip off each other's clothes. We got to know them as they got to know each other again and it just felt real.
You've also gotta love Maverick's family and the small town where he lives. I can use a lot more stories coming from here, especially with Maverick's single siblings. I want to get to know Kennedy's sister Ava better. And who knows who else could come to town? (And maybe a happy ending for Andrew as well?)
Another heartwarming book from Robyn Bielman.
