Book Review: Jilted

By Melissa Amster

After getting ditched at the altar, every “I do” makes me want to scream.

Which is a problem, considering I’m an associate editor at Bride magazine.

Just when I thought my job couldn’t get any worse, I got roped into being a last-minute bridesmaid... and paired with Wilder Hayes.

Gorgeous, smug, and maddening. Cue the bickering, the sparks, and one very unexpected coat closet moment.

Not my finest hour… or was it? Because that kiss? Easily the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced.
At least I’ll never have to see him again.

Until Monday rolls around, and—surprise!—he’s my boss’s son and my new work shadow for the season.

It's a match made in heaven...or hell. Only time will tell. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

Jilted is my first Vi Keeland experience and I really enjoyed it! Sloane and Wilder were interesting characters and I loved their chemistry. The story had a Pretty Woman feel at times. There was even an armchair adventure involved. Plus, lots of open door heat! 🔥🔥🔥

I am glad we had both Sloane and Wilder's perspectives and I enjoyed getting to know both of them throughout the novel. I liked that Sloane had diabetes as the story brought more awareness to what is involved when someone has it. 

I felt like things came too easy with Wilder being so rich. Like he could just throw money at any problem and everything would be fine. This was my only concern and it didn't take away from my enjoyment. 

Overall, it was a romantic and entertaining page-turner and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys rom-coms.

Wilder: Fabien Frankel
