Waiting on Wednesday # 22 - Fractured: Happily Never After?

- 1:01 AM

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My pick: Everyone knows a fairytale or two. They’re the kind of stories that seem to stick with you. Maybe it’s the magic. Maybe it’s the handsome prince. Or maybe they’re just the absolute perfect place to lose yourself for a little while. But what would happen if Snow White were around today? Would Cinderella still need a fairy godmother? And would the Little Mermaid show up on YouTube?

My Big Fat Beach Wedding by Melanie Summers

- 12:00 AM

My Big Fat Beach Wedding Melanie Summers Publication date: April 24th 2025 Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance The plan was simple: fake the wedding, save her career. Then she met the best man. Vivian Whitlock’s social media empire is about to crumble. She’s closing in on thirty, and her fans are moving on to their ‘weddings and babies’ era. About to be dropped by her management team, she pretends she and her secret boyfriend are ready to take the plunge. There’s just one problem: he doesn’t exist. Enter Dominic James, a charismatic actor working at the idyllic Paradise Bay Resort. He’s got Broadway dreams and the perfect cover story. The two strike a deal—he’ll play her doting fiancé, and she’ll launch him into New York stardom.

Surrounded by swaying palms, oc...
