Queer joy at its finest, D'Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding left me smiling, and in a better mood then when I started. The premise is one of fake dating, Kris and D'Vaughn are on a reality show and have to convince their families they are getting married in six weeks! (They are complete strangers!) If they get to the altar they have the choice to either get hitched or get a fat check. 
 Kris and D'Vaughn have the STEAMIEST chemistry. From the moment they met at the party whenever they were in a room together the temperature rose like 10 degrees. All of the spicy scenes had me swooning, I very much would love to be on this reality show. 
 I swear just the description of Kris had me giggling and kicking my feet. Kris was so mature and thoughtful, I loved how healthy the communication was in this. I also found this to be one of the best depictions of Spanish in a book, I loved the Afro-Latinx representation. 
I was so sad when the book ended, I wanted to keep reading! 
Oh and I thought it was really cool how it took place in Houston! (H town whoop whoop!) 
<i> Perfect for fans of romance, queer stories, or really just fantastic representation. </i>
