I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Bridget is in Vegas to celebrate her upcoming nuptials, her last time to party as a single woman only things aren’t going too well when one of the guests loses, her luggage and then when she can’t get hold of her fiancé, she starts to worry but what really ruins the weekend is when she discovers that he is cheating on her. It’s a night that she wants to forget and even more so when the morning after she wakes up in another man’s hotel room and that man is her best friend and brother to the groom. Years ago, she had wanted nothing more than to be Jordan’s, but he had made it clear that he had only ever seen her as his friend. But now that she is single the way that he is looking at her is anything but friendly more like she is his. Could she have been about to marry the wrong brother or is she about to lose the love of her life and her best friend?

Jordan has been in love with Bridget for as long as he can remember but when she announced that she was with his brother when they got to college, he knew he had to bury his love fir her and moved across the country. He couldn’t watch his brother and her fall for each other knowing that he was too late. Years have passed since that day, and they are about to celebrate his best friend marrying his brother but when he receives a call from is brother in panic and discovering that he has been cheating on her he knows that he needs to find Bridget and find her as quickly as possible. Only the night doesn’t end as he expects and the morning after neither can remember what happened but as they piece together the night before will they each discover their true feelings and could a HEA be on the cards in Vegas after all?

This was the final book in the series, and it finishes the series perfectly, each one has been a short and fun read, although each are standalone, I would suggest reading them in order. 4.2* Read

*sigh. And now the end. It’s the bride to be’s turn in this funny short story. One phone call, one night out, one drunken night and waking up wondering what happened the night before. The brother of the groom, Jordon, helps Bridget find what happened to them the night before. Loved all of the stories in this series and so glad all go their HEA that they needed. Loved all of the characters and the story. Each unique in their own way but culminating on happiness for them all.

This is the fifth book in the Bad Bridesmaids series each book can be read as a standalone, but they connect via the bridesmaids, each one gets a little more hilarious than the one last one, now we get to read about the bride and once you start you won’t stop until the last page has been turned. Bridget is about to get married, but we have all expected her fiancé was cheating but no proof now we have it, running from it all numbing the pain by getting to wasted and waking up next to his brother/friend with a hangover that just won’t stop but not before getting arrested 😊 just like her bridesmaids before her. Jordan sexy as all get out brother to the jerk who hurt his friend, his longtime crush really he has been in love with her for a while and saving her wasn’t a question nearly killing himself to get to her and one night of unthinkable fun leads them to same room waking up next to one another and trying to retrace their steps to see what they had got into while intoxicated but it also lead to truth them finally communicating how they really feel about each other but where does that leave his brother, will their feeling get in the way of the two brothers or is it a wake up call, and will she get the happiness with the right man?.

Bridget and Jordan's Mystery . . .

Bridget is in Vegas with family and friends for her bachelorette celebration. Unfortunately, she discovers that her fiancé, Michael, has been cheating on her when a strange woman answered the phone to say Mikey was in the shower. That sort of explains all the times he insisted on changes that forced her to postpone the wedding date. Drowning your sorrows in booze, however, is not the best way to deal with adversity. And she wakes up in bed with Michael’s brother, Jordan! And why does she have black ink all over her fingertips?

Neither of them can remember the previous night and how they happened to be together in bed. The last Jordan remembered, his brother phoned him in a panic that Bridget found out about the cheating, and Jordan rushed to comfort her and help her deal with the painful news. So they team up to follow the clues and find out exactly what happened here. Step by step, they reconstruct what happened. And they make a few discoveries along the way. Will Jordan confess that he has been in love with Bridget since high school? Will the two of them give their new love a chance?

The morning after adventure

RUNAWAY BRIDE is the fifth and final book in the BAD BRIDESMAIDS series. The bride is finally getting her story and it does not end with the groom she expected. Bridget is the bride who with four bad bridesmaids flies to Las Vegas for a bachelorette weekend. What was supposed to be a great weekend instead quickly degenerates starting with her not being able to reach her groom, and then having another woman answer his phone she she finally does get through. So with a cheating groom blowing up her weekend of fun what is a girl to do.....end up married to his brother.
This story made me laugh out loud and then swoon over Jordan as these two try to trace back the events of the night before only to discover they are married and maybe they just stay that way. I really loved this last story in what has been a wonderful series....Definite RECOMMEND READ for the entire series.

Lana Dash's Bad Bridesmaids series has been my favourite of hers, and the concluding installment, Runaway Bride, just might be the best book of them all. Bridget, her sister, cousin and friends are in Vegas for her bachelorette party - but the morning after their arrival, she wakes up in bed with her future brother-in-law and no memory of night before. Jordan's memory is equally as fuzzy. As they work together to put the pieces together, a bunch of truths come out: including the fact that Bridget's fiancé cheated on her, and Jordan has been in love with her for years. Are things about to work out the way they were always supposed to?

A super fun, entertaining, steamy and swoon-worthy read, this entire series is a must-have for your collection!

Runaway bride to the right groom! Finally, this is about the bride, Bridget, and Jordan. Every book before this told the story of her bridesmaids, Jessie, Claire, Veronica, and Beth, but now what we all suspected that her fiancé must be cheating on her came to light, and now she wakes up next to her future “brother-in-law” and old friend. After a night of drinking, because a woman answered Michael’s phone, she ended up being arrested just like the rest bridesmaid team, but Jordan was there to get her out even if it meant he was hit by a cab… what interesting things happen in Vegas. The story is great, and even if, in the end, there is no forgiveness between Michael and Bridget, the relationship between the brothers never dies. Love to see she ended up with the right one!.

This series has been so much fun to enjoy! We finally get to the brideto be, Bridget. She and her bridesmaids are in Vegas for her bachelorette party. Only, nothing goes as planned.
At some point and time all of her bridesmaids go MIA but she doe not notice too much because she is unable to get ahold of her fiancé. After some serious drinking, Bridget wakes up in bed with someone else and no memory of what has happened! Together, they try to piece together what happened. So much comes out!
This book was definitely worth the read! I have always loved reading Lana Dash’s books and this series has been so much fun!.

I have been excited for this book after reading the rest of the series and I was not disappointed! This book is “The Hangover” meets “Bridesmaids” combined with steamy romance. Bridget is the bride to be and the reason they are all in Vegas. After struggling to reach her fiancée during the other books, I had a feeling which direction this book would take but was still really surprised about the outcome. She wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of the night before. Luckily she recognizes the guy with her as her friend Jordan. Follow along as these two trace back their steps to find out where the night took them. One place this place will definitely take them is to some steam and a sweet ending.

Bridgett's trip to Vegas for her bachelorette party isn't going as planned and then the worst happens. She finds out her fiancé is cheating on her. The next morning, she wakes up hungover in her ex's brother's hotel room. Neither remembers what happened the night before all that well so they start retracing their steps. The air sizzles around them and Jordan is hoping Bridgett will finally see him as more than a friend. Will he get his woman before their search for memories is over?

This is a great story that will draw you in from the first chapter on. This is a well written and very entertaining story. It's a book that any book lover would enjoy.

When she wakes up next to her ex's brother, their story takes you on a journey of realization, truths and discovery as Bridget and Jordan retract their steps from the night before.

Another amazing story and a great addition to a series that is a delight to read.

Excellent conclusion of this evening in Las Vegas
4.5
Finally, in this series, the story of the stressed bride-to-be who was borderline hysterical because she couldn't reach her fiancé while she was having her bachelorette party in Las Vegas. I had really liked the previous books that told the stories of the bridesmaids and I always wondered where and why Bridget disappeared from the club. I was not disappointed to discover her night. Her story is excellent, all hungover at the start, for this tender story.

Bridget and the girls are in Vegas for a bachelorette weekend, when she finds out her fiancé has been cheating on her. She goes with the girls to get wasted, next day wakes in a strange room, there is a man in the bed.

Jordan has been in love with Bridget since he met her, but his brother beat him to her. When he calls him to rant about her finding out he has been cheating. He will drop everything to help her, he wakes up next her the next morning.

Can they piece together what happened?.

Love lost…Love found…Redemption!
A cute short-story that packs a lot of action in a short amount of time. But it’s just long enough for Bridget and Jordan to reacquaint and go forward to an HOA. Reading from stat to finish takes less than 30 minutes. Great for reading over your lunch hour.
I’m definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment.
PEACE.

Jordan was in love with Bridget since college, but his brother made a move on her and she fell for it. He left them behind and transfered to another city. Now Bridget has her bachelorette party in Las Vegas where she meets him again after discovering that her fiance cheated. Jordan finally has the guts to tell her how he feels and she fell hard and fast. Not my favorite story... I thought Bridget wasn't very likeable,but that's just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sweet, romantic and with a sweet HEA😍😍

The author has given us the final story of this series by pulling us into the lives of Bridget, the bride, and Jordan, brother of the groom. When they wake up in bed with each other, neither has any memories of the night before. The story keeps us turning the pages with humor, unrequited love and hope.

This was great book. I really enjoyed Jordan and Bridget together. These two have longed for each other for years but they didn't get an HEA until it was almost to last. I enjoyed this book, and I am so glad that Bridget and Jordan got their sweet and much deserved HEA.

This is the last book in the bridesmaid series and just like the others it is funny, fast paced, engaging a little steamy and has a great HEA. This time the bride, Bridget, gets terrible news and goes on a bit of a drunken rampage while the man who’s loved her for years tries to minimise the damage.

Even the bride manages to get arrested in Las Vegas after having to much to drink. She discovered her fiance was cheating on her, and her future brother-in-law tried to rescue her. He had been in love with her all along. A fitting ending to this over the top series.

Absolute Perfection! This series has got to be one of the funniest and outrageous storylines I have ever read. So glad each received a HEA, and that Bridget got the right groom. Fantastic ending, and what a wonderful parting gift to all the Bridesmaids.

After finding out her fiance has been cheating on her, his brother Jordan winds up waking up in bed with Bridgett. These two have the sweetest story when they finally remember the crazy night that brought them together. I love Lana's bad bridesmaid series.

Quick easy read

This was probably the most believable of the stories in this series. Although it was predictable, it was still enjoyable and I liked how all the girls reconnected at the end to share how their night went.
