Which leads to some very real attraction and a steamy night, post wedding reception. Which turns into her pretending to be his fake girlfriend. Once they’re out of the elevator, he spontaneously asks her to be his date to the wedding, and she accepts. But then Drew starts telling Alexa the details of the wedding, and she finds him charming… and maybe a little desperate to not face the wedding by himself. They’re immediately attracted to each other, which seems crazy. But the power goes out, and Drew and Alexa are trapped together in this elevator. Drew is in town from LA for his med school friend’s wedding… who also happens to be marrying his ex-girlfriend, and Alexa came over from Berkeley to celebrate her sister’s promotion to partner at a law firm. In The Wedding Date, Drew Nichols and Alexa Monroe get stuck in an elevator at a swanky hotel in San Francisco by chance. So I finally did it – I picked up The Wedding Date. I figure I can dip into the fluffy contemporary romances with her and then move on to some other authors who have been writing diversely for years (paging Alyssa Cole and Beverly Jenkins, among others). And (aside from Alisha Rai, whom I also love and will continue to read voraciously) I knew the place to start was with Jasmine Guillory.



You know how I’ve been complaining that I want more diversity in my romance? Well listen, I’m going to try to stop complaining and start reading the good stuff.
