My brother’s fiancée should have been mine.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, and it’s not quite as bad as it sounds. Linc was running late for their first date and he begged me to stand in until he could get there.
I only went to tell the girl to run. To warn her about my brother’s selfish ways and promise she wanted no part of it.
But then I saw her. The stunning woman with auburn hair, sky blue eyes, and freckles I wanted to memorize.
The hour I spent with Audrey was hands down the best date of my life. Until my brother showed up.
Now, I’m covering his butt again. This time at their wedding rehearsal, because Linc hasn’t learned a damn thing. Work still comes first and that says a lot, doesn’t it?
So, sure… I’ll hold Audrey’s hand at the altar. And I’ll look into her eyes and wish like hell she would realize she deserves so much more.
I should have told her to run that night two and half years ago. Because all I want to do now is what I wasn’t bold enough to do then… Steal her away for myself.

*There is NO cheating in this book! Also, Kissing My Brother’s Bride is Book 1 of the multi-author The Kissing Games series, so be sure to check out the others!!

Kissing My Brother's Bride, Book 1 of The Kissing Games series, was about 26-year-old Audrey Krause, a marketing director, and 25-year-old Liam West, a lieutenant firefighter. Side Note: Let me be clear: despite the title, there was NO cheating in this story. NONE! Not by the former groom, not by the bride...and not by the brother of the groom with the bride. Also, yes, the FMC had been intimate with the MMC's brother. They had been living together and were engaged/in love, after all. However, they had not been intimate for more than two months prior to their wedding date. Audrey was engaged to Lincoln West, Liam's older brother, and they were having a destination wedding. All the members of the wedding party and guests had arrived at the venue...except for Linc. He never showed up but sent a text message to his best man for him to tell Audrey she deserved better. Numb from the rejection and humiliation of being left at the altar, she got slightly drunk. When Liam went to check on her later, they both drank more champagne and before she knew it, she was kissing him...and he wasn't saying no. However, he did stop things before they went too far. Liam and his brother didn't have the best relationship. They had spent years feuding between themselves, but Liam had no idea why Lincoln seemed to believe he (Lincoln) was better than him (Liam). All he knew was that his brother tended to look down on him no matter what he said or did, and it drove a wedge between them. Falling in love with his brother's (now ex) fiancee didn't help matters either. After arriving back home, Audrey and Linc met up, talked things out, and they both agreed that his breaking things off was the right thing to do. They ended things in such a way that they remained friends. He left her in their home so she could pack her things in peace and move in with her sister. While she was doing that, Liam showed up to assist her. While together, he let her know he hadn't regretted the kiss they'd shared. But she wasn't ready to start a new relationship with anyone at that point, so she finished moving in with her sister, Charlie. Although Liam and Audrey were "talking" about a possible relationship between them, neither one acted on it other than a kiss and hints. That went on for a full month from the date the wedding between her and Liam's brother fell through. It was almost two full months before they were intimate, and then a few more weeks before they went public with their relationship. However, before they could talk to his family about anything, Liam was injured while on a search-and-rescue call. Audrey got the news in the wee hours of the morning and she rushed to the hospital to be with him. Although he was not in too bad of shape, the doctors kept him overnight. He convinced Audrey to share his hospital bed (no spicy stuff now) for the night, which is where his parents found them the following morning...and so did Linc. It was a bad way for everyone to learn about their relationship, but there was nothing to be done at that point but to go forward. There was a lot of angst and drama in this book. The author didn't rush the relationship between the two main characters, which was a nice change of pace, especially since Audrey had only recently thought herself to be in love with Lincoln, only to realize he wasn't the right West brother for her. It was nice to see them take their time and actually work through issues they all had as they would have in real life. The characters were all well-rounded and mature, with room for each one of them to grow. Not just the main characters but the secondary ones as well. It was unusual for a romance novel to have a lot of conflicts but have no bad guys/gals and still be enjoyable. This story definitely fits that bill. Even the former fiance was a good guy. Thankfully, no one cheated on anyone. Although he called off the wedding, Lincoln didn't do so because of cheating on anyone's part. He just knew they were getting married for all the wrong reasons. Liam and Audrey never acted on their feelings until the wedding had been canceled...and then not until almost two months after the fact. The emotions of the story were ample and had plenty of twists and turns. There was a bit of suspense that gave the book an added depth that kept the reader glued to the pages. All in all, it was a very well-written story that earned a five-star rating and a place in my Keeper for the Shelves collection.

    Good read without any third act separation drama, Instead there was conversation 👍
