BIsynopsis

She has a plan. He’s about to change it.

Regan Wakefield is a headhunter in both name and personality: driven, motivated, and unafraid to pursue what—and who—she wants. Naturally, she’s thrilled when her friend’s wedding offers her an opportunity to score Logan McCade, the practically perfect best man. Unfortunately, groomsman Brock McNeil keeps getting in her way, riling her up in the most delicious of ways. But Brock’s smooth southern charm isn’t part of the plan…so how exactly did they end up having searing-hot sex?

Regan may pretend the erotic electricity sparking between them is merely a distraction, but Brock knows better. She refuses to see beyond the devil-may-care façade he presents to the world, while he sees straight through hers. Changing her mind—and getting under her skin—is a challenge he can’t resist. And when he wins, Brock will do whatever it takes to convince Regan that the best man for her is him.
BIreview

Wow! This series just keeps getting better! I want to go back and read them all over again just to find little things that I missed the first go around!

 

Yet again, this was a first by this author for me! This series has definitely been eye opening author wise! I can’t wait to dig deeper and find other books to read!

Katee’s writing style is so natural and real. I honestly kept forgetting that I was reading a story, it just felt so real to me that I found myself imagining that I was a part of it.

Seducing the Bridesmaid totally lived up to my expectations when it comes to this series. After this many books that all cover the exact same week and have the same set of people…well let’s just say that I am a tad bit attached! I have always loved books that do a dual POV, I just feel that you get a better understanding of the characters and the situation when you can see it from both people’s perspective. That being said…you can probably imagine my IMMENSE JOY when reading these books… seriously…I get to see the same week played out by EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER?!? Oh my gosh I think I just peed a little from excitement!! Don’t judge me!

Okay so on to this particular book and my thoughts…

Regan is a strong, independent and yet surprisingly vulnerable woman. She stands up for what she believes in and hides it when something or someone takes a chunk out of her. This was a character I could totally relate to! Brock…mmm….yep…it’s another male character that just leaves me drooling and forgetting what I was supposed to be talking about! I mean come on! It’s a sexy as sin southern boy?!?

Oh yes m’am sign me up for that!

He is what you would expect from a well raised southern gentleman! He opens doors, says m’am and treats a woman with respect…he is there to save you when you don’t want him to and oh so much more! Southern boys are just great…right?!?

Sure, Brock has his issues and isn’t perfect…but who wants a perfect man? When these two characters get together saying that “sparks fly” is a major understatement! More like fireworks fly and buildings blow up! Their personalities are just so good for one another…it was tough to read when they were being silly..I just kept wanting to smack them!

I mean really, did Regan honestly believe she was meant for Logan? (Besides, I bet Logan isn’t as perfect as his polished exterior seems…hmm..next book here I come!) She would be bored with someone so much like herself! She needs someone that is going to spice things up…and Brock definitely fits that build!

This book was amazingly humorous, filled with romance, and so easy to read and fall in love with! The story line was epic and melded with the other books pretty well. There were a few differences in conversations but that could have just been times where the other person was focused on their relationship issues and not focused on the convo right?

There were moments in the book that I hated both Regan and Brock for their hard-headedness…but they quickly made up for it! I found their romance to be endearing and sweet where as a lot of the others in this series were rough and tumble type scenes. I loved that Regan and Brock did the sweet stuff…well except for that first time! Goodness gracious…bless their little hearts for that one! lol

I will say that I am a bit confused and upset by the lack of development with Regan’s woods fear. I felt like there has to be more to it than a dang book! It seemed like it was going to take off and be a way of bonding at one point…but then it was just dropped! Well until Brock made an ass of himself..anyways! I guess I was just hoping for a little more explanation than the blow off one she gave Logan during said “ass of himself” scene.

Overall, I adored this book! The ending was just perfection! I just can’t even put into words how I feel about how Katee chose to end her story. After all that both Regan and Brock have been through in their lives…this was just a sweet moment! If it gives you a better idea of how relatable her characters are…I literally CRIED (I mean real, big honking “bless your heart” tears) while reading it! Kinda glad the hubby didn’t walk in on that one!

Describe your book/series in 15 words or less!

 
A Southern playboy sets his sights on a driven NYC headhunter. Sexy chaos ensues.
When did you start writing? How did you come up with your books name?
 
I started writing this particular book… Oh man. I think I wrote it in like November or December. I’m honestly not sure where the title came from. I’m notoriously terrible at them!

We all need a hero! Tell us about your protagonist(s)? Was there a real-life inspiration behind him or her?

 
So I knew Brock was a sexy beast, but the inspiration for him came when I was scrolling through FB one day. Smexy Books had posted a pic of this guy and he was OMG HAWT and had these laugh lines and this body and…AHEM. Anyways, he was instantly my Brock. He’s Beto Malfacini

What is something about yourself that most of your readers don’t know?

 
I’m pretty transparent LOL. If you follow me on Twitter, you know all the things! But fun fact — I get serious anxiety talking on the phone with people I don’t know. It’s so strange.

How do you spend your time when you aren’t writing?

 
Reading. Video games. Sometimes my family even drags me outside the house and into nature.

What do you find most challenging about being an author?

 
The non-writing stuff. Sometimes I wish I could just lock myself in my room for weeks on end and just write, but there’s so much more you have to do beyond that.

What do you find most rewarding about being an author?

 
The fans who say things like “Man, I was late for work/lost sleep/hid in my room to finish your book!” I kind of feel bad, but that’s such a high compliment! I love that these characters who lived inside my head are now playing out for other people and they’re enjoying reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

What book are you most proud of so far?

 
That’s a tricky question, because it’s always changing. Each book challenges me and stretches my comfort zone. :)

What are two of your favorite characters in your books/series written by other authors?

 
I LOVED Sophie. God, she’s such a normal person and I want to hang out with her! And, well, Reed. That man is sex on a stick and I’d like to…hang out…with him, too.

Was there a music playlist for you while writing? If so can you share a few songs from it?

 
This is one of those rare books that I didn’t have one. I did, however, have Vampire Diaries playing in the background. That counts, right?

 
​What’s next for you?​
 

I’m so glad you asked! 😉 Remember how Brock’s got issues with his older brother? Well, Caine gets a book. Regan may or may not send her matchmaking friend down to Tennessee to get him a wife. It’s part of Entangled’s new Lovestruck line and it’s releasing July 21st.

 
OMG I am so on it guys! I want this book…can I have it? PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP??? I mean seriously Katee, my birthday is on the 19th! Don’t you want to help me celebrate??? hehe

Now for the silly stuff!

Katee even sent us a "Silly Selfie"!

Ask me one question…any question at all and I have to answer it no matter what!
Because I’m mean…. Favorite book? [There can be only one!!! ;)]
 
Oh wow…you are E.V.I.L!! Umm…favorite book and I can only pick one?? Wow! Uhh…ahhh…ummm… *clears throat* I’m not going to take the easy answer and just say the Wedding Dare series as a whole (While I did adore it…that seems like I would be cheating!) If I had to choose right now, I think I would say 2B Or Not 2B? by Stephanie Witter. That book was amaze-balls and had me choked up from tears and laughter throughout! I will say that my favorite book changes almost weekly, I tend to read A LOT and I love them all so much for different reasons!
If you could have any one toy what would it be? Why?
Do cards count? I’m going to say they count. I’m a horrible card addict. I play all the time. And I have a badass card trick that no one can figure out! Yes, I’m proud of that LOL
If you could have one super power what would it be? Why?
I’d be telekinetic. Because I’m inherently lazy and being able to move stuff with my mind would be a great way to freak strangers out.
What would I find in your refrigerator right now?
Leftover pizza and eggs. Because I’m a grownup!
If Seducing the Bridesmaid was a dessert, what would it be and why?
Lemon bar. A little tart, but overall pretty sweet.
What do you think about when you are alone in your car?
“This song is so great! *sings* Man, GET IN YOUR OWN LANE! *shakes fist* OH! I love this song! *sings more*”
What song best describes you? Why?
 
I had a friend say that every time she hears Florence + The Machine’s “Girl with One Eye” she thinks of me…. But I plead the fifth because I have NO idea why she’d think that. AHEM.
 
Thank you so much for having us! 😀
