GRR Reviews The Wedding Trap (Second Service) by Adrienne Bell

The Wedding Trap managed to combine two very different romance genres: romantic suspense, and rom-com. However, the result is a bit wanting.

Beth Bradley is attending her best friend's wedding... Sans her plus one... Because "Charlie" doesn't exist. Her imaginary boyfriend, with more and more embellishment over the years, obviously can't attend the wedding. And her ex will be there to complete her humiliation, in front of everyone she knew. // Alex Tanner is at the Kensington Hotel in search of a traitor who was selling out to a foreign nation, that nation's rep is using this wedding as a cover to meet with the traitor. He needs an inside connection to the wedding, even as he searched for more intel. When he was busted by Beth checking out one of the cars, Beth blackmailed him into posing as her boyfriend "Charlie". Alex smiled, it's exactly where he needed to be... close to the wedding as a bridesmaid's BF. But when Beth stumbled into seeing the traitor's face (she didn't know it at the time), she became a target for assassins... and the only one who can keep her safe is Alex/Charlie...

The mix sort of works, but not quite. Some of the attempts on their lives were inept, and the ending was way too simple and too fast.
