Publisher Description
In this hilarious romantic comedy from a USA Today bestselling author, a road trip proves opposites don't just attract—they ignite.
"Intense, heartfelt, mature and sexy as hell." —NPR
Gia Gallo is officially in bridesmaid hell. Stranded in New York with her best friend's wedding dress, Gia has six days to make it to Florida in time for the ceremony. And oh-so-charming best man Bennett Buchanan has taken the last available rental car. Looks like she's in for one long road trip with the sexiest—and most irritating—Southern gentleman she's ever met ...
Bennett's pretty sure that if there was ever a woman to break his "no flings" rule, Gia would be it. Sure, she's stubborn. She's also funny, smart, and the attraction between them is getting hotter with every state line they cross. While Bennett doesn't do casual, Gia doesn't do "relationships." But if they break the rules, this unlikely pair might discover that their impromptu road trip could turn out to be the best ride of their lives.
"Pure fun." —Publishers Weekly

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It’s hard to imagine a cuter meet-cute than the setup of Three Little Words, in which a bridesmaid and a best man—both single—take an unexpected road trip to save their pals’ wedding. But the third installment of Jenny Holiday’s Bridesmaids Behaving Badly series gleefully (and satisfyingly) flouts frothy romance conventions. Holiday’s characters are as quirky and likable as your own friends, her story takes unexpected turns, and the dialogue is consistently clever. Best of all, the book’s central conflict doesn’t assume that relationship choices boil down to all-in commitment or no-strings-attached hookups, plus it stomps all over gender stereotypes.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Holiday's third Bridesmaids Behaving Badly novel (after One and Only) combines pure fun with surprising depth for a contemporary rom-com. After a massive storm in New York City derails model Gia Gallo's plans to transport her friend's wedding dress to Florida for the ceremony, she joins forces with the best man, philanthropic chef Bennett Buchanan, who's charged with delivering the wedding rings. Renting the last car available an impractical turquoise Mini Cooper the two set off for Florida on what might be the most important ride of their lives. Along the way, they wrangle with family estrangement and reconciliation, an eating disorder, relationship fears, and the desire to atone for the past, wrapping up with a thoroughly enjoyable happy ending. Gia is anything but the stereotypical vapid model, and Holiday's sensitive portrayal of her multifaceted personality (particularly her penchant for Polaroids) is deeply enjoyable. Bennett's riches-to-rags backstory tugs at the heartstrings, particularly when he and Gia make an unplanned stop to connect with his parents for the first time in more than a decade. Leavened with witty banter, Holiday's sweet-hot tale captivates.)
Customer Reviews
Three Little Words
Highly descriptive; the author provides narratives from both the female and male prospective. Very detailed passionate encounters; sometimes bordering on the vulgar. Is a bit long winded. Good read if travelling.
