Never the Bride Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 139 ratings

No strings attached to diamond rings...


Divorce lawyer
Vanessa Hill was content with always being the bridesmaid to her sister or her “insane” friends. She never wanted to be the bride. Marriage wasn’t for her.
When her ailing grandmother invites Vanessa to discuss the terms of her will, Vanessa faces a dilemma, get married or lose everything. When under pressure, she invents an engagement with her neighbor and friend with benefits, Josiah.
Josiah Thomas, a no-nonsense celebrity tattoo artist, has already been through the marriage thing. He was done with diamond rings until Vanessa propositioned him. He’d do anything for the sexy girl next door and a promised two million dollars wouldn’t hurt.
Now Vanessa and Josiah will be doing the one thing they swore they would stay away from, marriage.
When hearts collide in lies, they just might belong together.

NOTE: This novel contains content for mature adults only.

    Love this book. Vanessa and Josiah were soulmates. Vanessa fight love with all her might because she believed it made one weak. Josiah fought it for a different reason. Having lost his wife to suicide he didn’t want to be put in the situation of loving someone again, so he became a playboy. That is, until Vanessa.
    This book takes you through up and downs, valley’s and mountains, life and death and a gambit of emotions, with an HEA at the end.

    I enjoyed this book a great deal. Vanessa and Josiah are compelling characters that drew me into the story from the first page. They both have issues in their past that make them hesitant to love. The writing is good, and I loved the plot/story-line. Vanessa thinks the only way to be successful is to prove to everyone that she is worthy, and Josiah is closed off due to the death of his first wife. I totally get both perspectives and have struggled with some of these same issues. There are a few editing issues that pulled me out of the story, but I absolutely adored the characters and the growth they both experienced. Good book Janae Keyes!

    This book was everything. It touched my heart but then had my heart beating fast from all the heat that was pouring from the words. Janae has a way with words that makes you feel every single word.
    The connection I have to this book is off the charts. Being able to relate to Vanessa. Wanting to have Josiah as my own. This book was everything, plus so much more.
    Must Read!!!!

    Two people who vowed to never have a relationship was already connected and didn't know it. The chemistry between the two of them is off the charts. They were each other everything and didn't know it.

    The funny thing about no strings attached ties us up in knots, and there no way around chemistry and love!
    This is a great book about how opposites attract and through perseverance, pain, and determination...love wins every time!
    Vanessa and Josiah, are a wonderful couple, and I highly recommend this sweet read.

    The book was pretty good. I’m happy Vanessa was able to overcome her issues. She desperately needed therapy. I liked it but probably wouldn’t reread it!

    From friends with benefits to true love which each one denied for years. Everyone saw it but them. It was quite an eye opener when they did. An unusual love story but it worked . Janae Keyes is an excellent author

    This is my first time to receive an ARC from Janae Keyes, and although the storyline of this one isn't something I haven't read before, I must say that I enjoyed it!

    Having a physical relationship with someone will always, always lead to feelings. I mean I get that guys can separate their emotions like how a baker separates the yolks from the whites, still feelings are bound to surface sooner or later... whether it's a bit or more, there will be feelings... and especially if you're neighbors coz duh, you see eachother all the time! Feelings are inevitable... well unless you're a heartless pig who does it for sports.

    It has more drama than a normal romance would have but it doesn't leave a heavy feeling like how other angsty, drama-filled romances does. (Shivers) ugh I hate those... lol

    For those fans of unexpected romances, badass long-legged esquires and sexy tattooed heroes, this is the book to pick up next.
