and the
sparks

that threaten to derail them
Ani Avakian is the Bay Area's least well-known wedding planner. She's got a paltry roster of weddings, a crushing load of secret debt
from a couple who scammed her, and is not even close to being over her ex-girlfriend Kami who dumped her two years ago. Now, she's headed to meet a new potentially luxurious wedding client who wants to have her queer wedding at a new Armenian winery in Napa, which could be Ani's only chance to get out of debt and put her name on the map.

When she arrives at the venue, she meets the rather sexy owner of the winery, Raffi Garabedian, infamous Armenian playboy slash
the Bay Area's most eligible Armenian bachelor. Unfortunately, despite his dashing looks, the two instantly clash. Raffi is a snob,
and Ani isn't afraid to let him know it.

When the couple arrives, Ani meets the bride she's been in contact with, an indie movie actress. Then, the second bride steps out of the car. Ani's ex. Kami.

But Ani needs this job. And little does she know, Kami is also Raffi's ex, and that Raffi has reasons of his own for needing this wedding to not just go smoothly, but go big. Ani and Raffi decide to set aside their differences and their emotions about planning an ex's wedding and work together to create the wedding of their ex's dreams.

Along the way, Ani discovers that Raffi is entirely different from the womanizer she'd built up in her head. He's vulnerable, thoughtful, and sweet. And Raffi realizes that for the first time since dating Kami, he's interested in dating someone again. He wants to know Ani and be there for her in every way.

But Ani is terrified that Raffi is going to simply use her and leave her, while Raffi can hardly keep up with his growing feelings. Then
overnight, the indie actress bride turns into an A-lister, bringing paparazzi and sensational news to the forefront of the wedding,
especially as things keep going wrong. Ani and Raffi will have to pull off the wedding of the year while facing obstacle after obstacle,
including their own undeniable feelings.

This book is everything I look for in a queer romance. The dreamy California wine country setting creates a stunning backdrop for the shenanigans and sexy times that unfold as Ani and Raffi fall in love over the shared horror of working their (shared!) ex's wedding. This is bi-chaos perfection written by one of my all-time favorite authors!

Voskuni's Our Ex's Wedding reminds me of everything I love most about the Harlequin Presents romances I grew up witha rich, hot former playboy meets his match in a scarily competent wedding planner, set against a lush Napa backdrop. Only this version is queer, modern, and grounded with two characters you'll root for separately and together. From the minute I got to the premise of this bookmy jaw dropped when they realized they'd BOTH dated the bride-to-be!I couldn't read fast enough to see how it would all unfold.

Taleen's stories about love and family, identity and finding your place in this world, are as hilarious as they are tender and affirming. Her books have me laughing one minute and swooning the nextand loving every second of it. I can't wait to read what she writes next!

Shining. is Voskuni's love for the Armenian American community, and it's a pleasure to get a glimpse of their culture through the story.Rom-com fans will giggle and swoon through this novel.

Voskuni returns to the same winning blend of humor, romance, and culture that made her debut, Sorry, Bro (2023), so unputdownable, but her latest feels like a natural evolution of all her best traits as a writer. With sparkling chemistry, plenty of nods to classic rom-coms, and a welcome dose of spice, the end result is a slow-burn love story that heats up at the perfect moment... This raucous and riveting romance is Voskuni's best yet.

Funny, wise, and tender, Our Ex's Wedding is a deliciously tense romance. I loved watching Ani and Raffi fall in love in the most unlikely of situations. A pure romantic delight!

Our Ex's Wedding is a breathtaking and sexy escape to California wine country. Readers will laugh, cry, and toss back the popcorn as this cinematic romance unfolds between an event planner orchestrating what could be the messiest wedding of the season and a new-to-the-game vineyard owner with more than a little dark edge. Nosy Armenian families, a dash of mystery, and spice that absolutely singes gild this emotional and high-stakes romance that delivers on passion and true connection.
