Sophie Steinbeck's friend, Asha, hires wedding objector, Max to stop Sophie from marrying Stuart, who has been cheating on her. It works so well, that when Max comes for his money, Sophie and Asha invite in to celebrate with them. Sophie learns more about what it takes to be an objector, so when Max calls her with a wedding objector opportunity, Sophie agrees to accompany him to the wedding, and they both have so much fun that they start to become friends. The more weddings they attend, the closer they become, so when Sophie declares that doesn't believe in love and Max states that he's not interested in a relationship they think they are safe, but their chemistry is undeniable. Happily Never After is such a fun romance with an unusual set up. Sophie comes off as a little unlikable at times but redeems herself by the end of the book, and it's clear that there couldn't be any couple more suited for one another. Many laugh out loud moments populate the narrative as we slowly get to know the characters through their banter. The pacing of the plot is extremely well done, developing a natural progression of the romance. The story would have benefited from more time spent on the hilarious roommates, Larry and Rose. Also, the ex-fiances, Stuart and Lily are underdeveloped. Overall, however, Happily Never After is a page turning, entertaining read. I was thrilled to receive this ARC through a Shelf Awareness giveaway promotion. Lynne Painter is one of my favorite rom-com writers for good reason. This story of Max, the Objectioner, and Sophie who hires him is funny right from the start. The dialog flows between the two and heat jumps right off the page. Entertaining from beginning to end. 4⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley, Shelf Awareness and Berkley Publishing Group, Berkley for this complimentary ARC.

HTML:Their name? The objectors. Their job? To break off weddings as hired. Their dilemma? They might just be in love with each other. When Sophie Steinbeck finds out just before her nuptials that her fianc has cheated yet again, she desperately wants to call it off. But because her future father-in-law is her dads cutthroat boss, she doesnt want to be the one to do it. Her savior comes in the form of a professional objector, whose purpose is to show up at weddings and proclaim the words no couple (usually) wants to hear at their ceremony: I object! During anti-wedding festivities that night, Sophie learns more about Max the Objectors job. It makes perfect sense to her: he saves people from wasting their lives, from hurting each other. Hes a modern-day hero. And Sophie wants in. The two love cynics start working together, going from wedding to wedding, and Sophies having more fun than shes had in ages. She looks forward to every nerve-racking ceremony saving the lovesick souls of the betrothed masses. As Sophie and Max spend more time together, however, they realize that their physical chemistry is off the charts, leading them to dabble in a little hookup session or twobut its totally fine, because they definitely do not have feelings for each other. Love doesnt exist, after all. And then everything changes. A groom-to-be hires Sophie to object, but his fiance is the woman who broke Maxs heart. As Max wrestles with whether he can be a party to his exs getting hurt, Sophie grapples with the sudden realization that she may have fallen hard for her partner in crime.
