Former quarterback Lance Quaid just inherited the most losing team in the NFL. He's got only a few weeks until draft day to turn things around, and after firing more than half his staff, he can't do it alone. Thankfully, his HR manager is more than capable, if only she'd stop focusing on "due diligence" and stop looking so sexy while she's yelling at him.
Charlotte James has made a life out of following the rules. But nothing could have prepared her for Lance Quaid—he's a human resources nightmare. The man is brash, has no filter, and, as her new boss, is constantly relying on her to cover his ass. Which is admittedly quite nice.
When Lance begs her to join him on a trip down the coast for his brother's wedding so they can finalize details—on a strictly business basis—she agrees . . . after they fill out the necessary forms, of course. Away from the office, though, sparks start flying as the team starts coming together. But both of them know anything more than the weekend would be a colossally bad idea—after all, the extra paperwork would be a nightmare.
Contains mature themes.

4.25/5. This is my second Cindi Madsen book and I am not going to stop any time soon. (Gave 5/5 stars to "The mistletoe trap")
I loved how Charlotte goes by the book, following the employee handbook to the letter and loves her forms and every norm. And she's a coherent and consistent character throughout the book.
And as a result of that, I loved their relationship dynamic. How they brought the best out of each other, how they respected and backed their backs constantly. Man, it was nice to see a non-toxic relationship :') (and oh my the tension and the sex scenes!!).
The thing I wasn't as fond of...was Lance. I mean, don't get me wrong. I did like him. Actually, I thought I was going to hate him and ended up liking him instead. But despite that, he's the reason I'm not giving this a 5/5. It mainly has to do with the final scene.

Charlotte and Lance are as opposite as opposites can be. She's a stickler for rules and Lance looks for every loophole. So of course when Lance takes over managing a NFL team that has been struggling to stay on the field he has to make HUGE changes and he's not willing to be gentle about it. Charlotte is the HR manager and it's her job to listen, hold hands and put out fires. Only Lance is starting up fires faster than she can put out. But once he realises he needs her on his side Lance is willing to go above and beyond, including taking her on a 'work trip' as he attending his brother's wedding festivities. SO Charlotte pulls out her forms and he signs anything he needs to, to keep her by his side and his family and co-workers off his back. He just didn't realises that he's signed up for more than he bargained for.Advanced Review Copy provided by #NetGalley for voluntary review consideration.
Rating: 4This was a cute book, easy to pass the time but I would probably pick something else, why? well while I did love myself some Lance and thought he was funny and a sweet geeky guy, Charlotte although smart kind of annoyed me sometimes and I also found this book to be a little slower than I tend to like. We have another fake romance who we know will eventually lead to the real thing..Wished we had an epilogue probably would have given me what I felt was missing.Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions

Rating: 4Cindi Madsen “The Wedding Deal” was a lot better than I originally expected. The opposites attract approach to this sports romance was a favorite of mine and despite how different Charlotte and Lance were, they were able to fit like a puzzle piece and balance each other out. They were a mature couple filled with flaws whom were able to persevere and create a bonding connection. A heartwarming read filled with relatable characters and promising storyline.
Rating: 5
