Ratings and reviews

Three years ago, Asher and Carter eloped and got married on a mountain in Colorado. Now they live in a cottage on Asher's family property. Carter now wants to have a big wedding and Asher can't see the point. They argue about it and to make matters worse they find out that their not legally married. Things keep falling apart until they realize that things in their marriage needs to change. I really enjoyed this book.

4,5 * What happens when you marry the love of your life after being together 'for a while' and you find out it is not legal especially after you had words and said in the heat of the moment that you would not marry again? Carter is losing his confidence in his relationship with Asher and they have to grab their second chance. I liked all the snarkiness and the romcom vibe with two seemibgly opposing men, who can not be without the other eventough they class and love as hard. The naughty 'older southern ladies' with their opinions and ideas spread throughout the story give it an extra fun layer. I have read the other two books in the Southern Discomfort series. I however do not feel that that is a must. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
