Jilted by Vi Keeland (May 6, 2025) Huge thanks to Macmillan Audio, Bramble Romance, and Vi Keeland for the #gifted advanced listening copy of this fun, flirty, and surprisingly heartfelt romance!

Sloane has always loved weddings. She works at Bride magazine, hosts a wedding podcast, and started planning her own big day when she was a kid. But after being left at the altar, her relationship with weddings is… complicated. While covering a truly chaotic affair involving spray tans, hoop skirts, and peak bridezilla energy, Sloane is somehow roped into the wedding party. Enter Wilder – a groomsman with eyes you can’t ignore, an attitude you wish you could, and chemistry that crackles like champagne bubbles. One coatroom kiss later, they’re entangled in more ways than one.

When Wilder pitches a story to his dad (who just so happens to own the magazine), Sloane is assigned to cover a series of weddings he’ll be in. Cue an entire wedding season filled with close encounters, undeniable tension, and reluctant vulnerability.

This was my first Vi Keeland book, and I’m officially hooked. I loved how the story blended laugh-out-loud banter with real emotional depth. Sloane and Wilder are opposites in all the best ways: he’s no-strings; she’s forever-and-always. But beneath the surface, they’re two people carrying heartbreak and trying not to believe in love again. The slow burn here is so worth it, and the complex family dynamics add a layer that elevates this beyond your typical rom-com.

🎧 Audiobook Thoughts Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt are perfect in this dual narration. Their delivery of the flirty, fiery dialogue had me grinning the whole time. Total audiobook win.
