"The Woman at My Wedding" by L.G. Davis is a gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. The story follows the protagonist as she prepares for her upcoming wedding to Nathan, the love of her life, only to find herself caught in a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal.

Davis's writing is fast-paced and immersive, drawing readers into the protagonist's world of mounting paranoia and fear. The tension builds steadily as mysterious events begin to unfold, leaving the protagonist questioning her own sanity and the motives of those around her. The twists and turns of the plot keep readers guessing until the final shocking reveal.

One of the novel's strengths lies in its well-drawn characters, particularly the protagonist, whose vulnerability and determination to uncover the truth make her a compelling and relatable heroine. The supporting cast, including Nathan and his mother Debbie, are equally complex and intriguing, adding layers of depth to the story.

"The Woman at My Wedding" is a pulse-pounding thriller that will appeal to fans of the genre. With its gripping storyline, spine-chilling twists, and unforgettable characters, L.G. Davis has crafted a suspenseful tale that will leave readers breathless until the very last page.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for an advanced copy to review for my honest opinion.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of The Woman at My Wedding. I Loved the Nanny series and I was so looking forward to this series but it was a disappointment!!!! I kept with it hoping it would get better but it didn't, and now I am going to read the sequel to see if that will make up for this one. The conversations were childish and not believable and one of the biggest questions I had was Why did Brynn NOT tell Nathan about his mom???? Of course it all comes together at the end but I would consider this a young adult read.

I legit read this in less than a day. I truly thought I knew what was going to happened, but was so surprised. If you love a million twists mixed with drama, then this book is for you.

This book had so many possible suspects and I loved the way it kept me guessing the whole time! The ending took a crazy twist I did not see coming; however it was a little chaotic and far fetched. But it definitely kept me entertained, and left me wanting to continue on to the next book!

Thank you #netgalley and #bookouture for allowing me to read this ARC!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC!

I thought I knew who the stalker was and that she was attempting to ruin Brynn's well-organized wedding. I was so, so wrong! The plot took several unexpected turns, and it appeared that each participant had a backstory and a motivation to prevent the wedding from taking place. I adored how the writer connected all of the characters and tied the plot together with a ton of amazing twists and turns! I read this book in a single day and really loved it!

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending and I look forward to the next one in this series.

This book was fantastic! It took me in so many directions-it was definitely a roller-coaster ride! It was full of twists and turns. Every time I thought I had figured something out, it twisted again. I've read books by this author in the past, and loved them just as much. There's a sequel to this book that I can't wait to dive into!

I received an arc copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. This was another amazing book by this author and I could not put it down. I have been approved to read the followup book and I am so excited to get started on it today. Her books are always filled with twists that you don't see coming. I always think it's so easy to figure out the twist and I'm always wrong. I love how this author can write such an amazing thriller without the use of all the foul language. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Brynn and Nathan are about to be married. Nathan’s Mom comes to help. Things take a twisty turn from there. Someone doesn’t want to see the happy couple walk down the aisle. But who is it really? Great twists in this one. I can’t wait to read the next one! Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and the author for the arc of this book.

The Woman at My Wedding by L.G. Davis is the first book in the Broken Vows series, and I am so thrilled to have this addictive tale continued.

Brynn cannot wait to marry her perfect fiance, Nathan. But in the lead up to the wedding of her dreams, a series of unfortunate events threaten to derail her happiness. With Nathan, a lawyer, immersed in a big case, Brynn must rely on her best friend, her wedding planner and her mother-in-law for guidance and support as she prepares to walk down the aisle. If you think you have this cracked, think again.

This was a fast-paced read that had me guessing until the very end. I cannot wait to see where the twisted narrative will lead next. 4.5 stars

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

Super quick read. Predictable and repetitive in spots but a page turner with a satisfying twisty ending. Getting ready to read the next in the series now.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and all opinions expressed are strictly my own .

Say WHAT?!? That was a wild ride!

30 days until Brynne's dream wedding, and somebody doesn't want her to get married!!

This one kept me guessing the entire time. I thought I knew, but the ending was a whole lot of crazy! This was a fast read, and it kept me wanting more. The ending was a bit abrupt, but I am looking forward to the next one!

3.5 stars rounded up.


Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy for me to review!

If you think you know what’s going on in this thriller think again. My mind changed over and over as I read each chapter. Brynn was excited about her upcoming wedding and was dealing with the remaining details while her fiancé Nathan, a lawyer, was trying a huge out of town case that could launch his career if he won it. Brynn had a wedding planner so she wasn’t worried too much about the last remaining wedding details until disturbing things start to happen and her soon to be mother-in-law shows up unannounced two weeks before the wedding and decides to stay with Brynn while Nathan is out of town. Everyone around Brynn is hiding secrets, including Brynn herself. The secrets that are uncovered will leave you with your jaw on the floor.The author did a great job at slowly revealing each characters secrets without revealing too much right away. This I feel makes for a great unputdownable read. Thats for the deliciously wild ride!

The story had a really intriguing premise but was unfortunately a miss for me. I have a lot of thoughts that I’ll try to share in the most constructive way possible.

First, the writing didn’t feel descriptive, immersive, or emotional because it lacked a “show, don’t tell” approach. Brynn’s friendships aren’t demonstrated through actions or rich dialogue - we’re *told* that she and her friends are close. The conversations between Brynn and Nathan don’t flow - we’re *told* the conversations flow. They don’t show each other love or have a natural chemistry - we’re *told* they love each other through various repetitive declarations of love. This left me disconnected from everyone and everything that happened because I wasn’t able to decide on my own how I felt about anything based on the merit of the character dynamics, dialogue, or plot.

In the same way, Brynn’s descriptions of the other characters were way too much exposition, and many of the details weren’t relevant to the story - it felt like information that should have been solely for the author to use to understand the characters’ motivations, as opposed to including all of that background in the book.

The dialogue was flat and repetitive, the characters seemed really robotic, and I didn’t love the pacing. The reveal of “the woman” was also anticlimactic and honestly, none of the characters even seemed to care who it was either. There was a pretty interesting twist towards the end but the lead up wasn’t executed effectively so it just seemed really far fetched, random, rushed, and, at times, didn’t add up. The ending was also odd and no one was held accountable for their actions.

Although the story takes place in a small beach town in Florida, terms like “chemist” instead of pharmacy, “poorly” instead of sick, and the constant calling people “darling” all stuck out to me and felt very out of place. Much of the word choice and mannerisms were not reflective of North American culture.

I really wanted to love this one and it was a quick read, but unfortunately needs some work. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC, and I genuinely hope this feedback was helpful in some way!

This book was a quick, entertaining read! The first half felt a bit slow, and the author's intent on changing who you'd suspect as "the woman" was obvious, but the book's second half had lots of twists and ended on a perfect note for a sequel.

Thank you Netgalley for my copy.

Oh no! I don't realise this was part of a duology. Now I HAVE to go and find it to see what happens next.

I liked this book. I enjoyed the twists and was even blindsided by one which I really didn't see coming. I liked being right about my speculation on the others too. The characters were all terrible, vapid, annoying and horrible people and I loved to hate them all. Even the goodies.

Looking forward to reading more from Davis

Decent thriller with plenty of twists right up to the end. The style of writing I found hard going at times and maybe a few unnecessary twists lengthened the story. I didn't like the main character,she was overly wholesome,with no bite to her, I found myself wanting her to fail which was maybe the authors end goal
Many thanks to the publishers and netgalley for the ARC

This book had me addicted from the start! It was so intense that I could not wait to see the twist. Authot knows how to deliver the breath taking, draw dropping twist that we all know and love and never expect the ending. I believe this book is her best one yet but I say that everytime I read one of her books. Thank you for allowing me to read your book in advance.
