The Paid Bridesmaid is a light, clean romantic comedy that has a fun plot, romance and characters that you will have so much fun with.

Going into the book, I knew what to expect from this author. I've enjoyed her books in the past and knew this would be a fun one. I know the plot from first glance might present itself to be simply predictable but there's an engaging plot that slowly unravels making it a cute read.

Rachel Vinson, who is such a likable character, has a bridesmaid for hire business. When a popular Instagram influencer hires her for her wedding, this is just the break she is looking for. With discretion being such a key to her success, Rachel finds herself in a challenging situation when the best man, Camden Lewis, can't seem to reign in his curiosity.

Camden is the best friend to the groom. He charming, funny and is definitely the swooning type. As he chats it up with Rachel, there is something about her that piques his curiosity. Some things aren't adding up and he can't quite figure her out. Considering his relationship with the bride and groom, he's determined to find out what she might be hiding. As time goes on, and their guards let down a bit more, they find themselves growing fond of each other. Only one problem, she has one rule that she is adamant on following. Will this ruin her chance at finding love or will she live up to the cliché, always a brides, never a bride?

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There is something fun and engaging with Sariah's books that make you not want to put them down. The plot was light and fun. The banter between the characters brought out so many laugh out loud moments, especially those with her mother. The slow simmer romance was cute to follow. I love fun vibe female characters that make you want to be invited to their lives. This was a standalone and I'd recommend checking it out.
