Too Good to be True

by Danielle Sibarium

Love at First sight is just a myth-or is it?

Bailey expected a proposal. Instead, she was handed a broken heart. So much for happily ever after. The last thing she wanted to do was go to her best friend’s destination wedding by herself and put on a happy face. But as the maid of honor, she had duties. Too bad falling in love wasn’t one of them.

Tim’s overworked and overtired. He doesn’t expect a midnight collision with a beautiful, albeit almost naked woman to turn his world upside down. Of course, the crash happens in a hotel hallway, and his world is a pile of towels. At least that’s the start of it.

From the moment their eyes meet, Tim and Bailey have a magnetized attraction that tugs at Bailey's battered heart. But she's been wrong before. Is Tim everything he seems to be, or is he too good to be true?

Chapter one page one of this book and I had 3 highlighted annotations! A strong start like I’ve never seen. I loved the emotion of this book. I felt everything they felt! Better than a chic flick , this is why I read!!!

The two main characters are healing, there’s some good hurt comfort writing. There’s a bit of a mystery surrounding the MMC which adds a fun element. There’s a surprise element and some angst at the end. Overall I really enjoyed all the elements that pulled together a body positive healing romance!

Tim is keeping important facets of himself from Bailey, then doesn't deal with a sticky situation very well. in the end, it's all too good to be true for Bailey! I loved this story.

In Too Good to Be True, Danielle Sibarium delivers a delightful and emotionally resonant romantic comedy that explores the age-old question: is love at first sight real, or just a beautiful myth?

Bailey arrives at her best friend’s destination wedding heartbroken and alone — a maid of honor without a happy ending of her own. Her dreams of a proposal were crushed, leaving her to put on a brave face amidst love and celebration. But when a chance (and hilariously awkward) encounter with Tim — a frazzled, overworked man just trying to get through his day — throws them into each other’s orbit, sparks fly in ways neither of them expected.

From a literal hotel hallway crash to a series of serendipitous moments, Tim and Bailey’s chemistry is instant and undeniable. Sibarium weaves a story full of witty banter, swoony moments, and emotional tension, asking readers to question whether the heart can truly heal in the presence of something new — or if it’s simply too risky to try again.

Bailey’s vulnerability and resilience, paired with Tim’s charm and hidden depth, make this romance feel genuine and relatable. There’s heartache, hope, and plenty of humor as these two navigate what might be the beginning of forever — or just another heartbreak waiting to happen.

A perfect read for fans of feel-good romance, witty meet-cutes, and emotional healing, Too Good to Be True is an irresistible story that leaves you wondering if sometimes, love really can be as magical — and messy — as it looks in the movies.

On the eve of her best friend’s destination wedding, Bailey is expecting a proposal, but has her heart shattered instead. Bailey is the maid of honor, and now alone, but she has two men vying for her attention, but which one will she choose?
This is a well written story which is an easy, and quick read, with friendships, emotions, a tad angst, healing, secrets, surprises, and love, which leads to an entertaining page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

This was a fast short novella that is packed with love at first sight. Her boyfriend breaks up with her right before her best friends wedding leaving her to have to attend it alone. She reluctantly goes and has 2 men vying for her attention. One turns out to be crazy and the other has secrets. Mr Secret turns out to be a basic celebrity who's engaged to be married for a family business deal! If you want a short story with instalove this would be your book.

Loved this read!
Bailey gets delivered devistating news from her partner literally days before they are meant to depart for her best friends wedding and now she has to make the trip mon her own and broken hearted..
Devestated and alone she makes the destination on her own to support her best friend no matter that her heart and her dreams for the future have been crushed. Little does she know fate is waiting around the corner with other plans.

Tim, a Billionaire who is also staying in the hotel runs into Bailey when she thought no one would be awake, she slipped out of her room in a bathrobe and the connection they shared was instant.
I adored this book, Bailey and Tim had all the feels and you will have to read it to see if they got their HEA.

5 stars!
