Prove to Lia I’m the one she should be with instead. Which means, there’s only one thing left for me to do. Not her angry fiancé who thinks I’m growing too close.Īnd not the looming deadline of her nuptials. Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia’s wedding. No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization. And when she’s upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.Īnd before I know what’s happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. She’s always been beautiful to me, but now… I find myself staring a touch too long. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I’m starting to see my best girl in a different light. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting–aka, man of honor–and take matters into my own hands. With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets. Yeah, neither has my best friend’s soon-to-be monster-in-law. Steamy, laugh-out-loud, and full of charm, these two best friends heat up the pages while proving true love might be right in front of you. From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a witty take on a romantic comedy classic, My Best Friend’s Wedding. He’s draped over a chair in a sprawl that looks uncomfortable as fuck. The thumping base line pulses loud enough that we can hear it and feel it from the dance floor, and Ash taps his foot along with the beat. We talk business in the back room while the bartenders and bouncers run the club for us most of the time. The club is a legit business, but we also use it as a front for money laundering, working with various shady organizations in the city. My three best friends and business partners are here too, sprawled over furniture or leaning up against the walls, relaxed the way they always are when we’re in our domain. It’s good to be able to keep an eye on things even when we’re not out there in the thick of it. Sin and Salvation is one of the most popular clubs in this part of Detroit, so shit gets pretty rowdy and trouble could pop off at any time-something we do our best to keep from happening. We had the office areas soundproofed just enough that we can hear ourselves think while we go over business and shit, but not so much that a riot could break out on the dance floor or something and we wouldn’t be able to hear it. The musicfrom the main part of the club is more muted at the back. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Other creatures are also inventive and fun, which is a nice change of pace from the grotesque Jinoo. The action scenes are stunning and dynamic, while the monsters themselves are just as visually interesting. This is especially true across scenes or when shifting from one setting to the next. Their emotions shine through every panel which is wonderful for setting and conveying tone. The people, regardless of their importance to the story-line, all have incredibly expressive features. However, regardless of where the story is based, that isn’t common in horror comics. Part of this might be attributed to the realness of the setting. His characters feel like real people caught up in a fantastic situation rather than something completely detached from reality. Things move so rapidly, in fact, that I find I enjoy Volume 1 more with each read through. Despite this, the story and plot move quickly. As one might expect, the historic setting gives the series, at least up to this point, a very nostalgic feel. I really can’t say enough good things about Bitter Root.
