A New Romantic Comedy from Shelly Meyer
Stuck in the Middle with You is my newest contemporary romance novel, and it blends everything I love about a good rom-com: sharp banter, emotional tension, wedding-week chaos, forced proximity, and two people who might not be as over each other as they pretend to be.
If you enjoy second-chance romance books, friends-to-lovers romance, forced proximity romance, or a swoony wedding romance novel, this story was written with you in mind.
At the heart of the book are Maren Cole and Eli Hart, two former best friends who once knew each other better than anyone. Then one disastrous wedding three years ago changed everything. Their friendship was shattered, feelings were buried, careers were damaged, and neither of them walked away the same.
Now, they’re both stuck working the same lavish destination wedding on Middle Key.
Maren is a successful wedding consultant who knows how to create the perfect day for everyone else. She can handle demanding clients, high-profile guests, impossible timelines, and all the behind-the-scenes drama that comes with a luxury wedding.
What she can’t handle quite as easily is Eli.
Eli is an immersive-event designer, Maren’s former best friend, and the one person she never expected to see again, especially during the most important wedding week of her career.
Avoiding each other would be ideal.
Unfortunately, this is a destination wedding romance, and there’s nowhere to hide.
What to Expect in Stuck in the Middle with You
If you’re looking for a new rom-com release with heart, humor, and a happily-ever-after, Stuck in the Middle with You has all the good stuff romance readers love:
A high-profile wedding.
A tropical resort setting.
A former best friend who knows exactly how to get under her skin.
A wedding consultant trying to keep everything perfect.
An event designer determined to make everything meaningful.
Old wounds.
Unresolved chemistry.
Forced proximity.
Banter, longing, and one very complicated second chance.
This new romance book release is full of romantic comedy moments, but it’s also about healing, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to be honest with the person who once knew you best.
Because the thing about old feelings?
They have a way of showing up at the worst possible time.
Like in the middle of someone else’s wedding.
Why I Loved Writing This Wedding-Week Romance
As a romance author, I love writing stories about love, healing, second chances, and the messy, beautiful ways people find their way back to themselves and each other.
Stuck in the Middle with You gave me the chance to write a wedding-week romance filled with humor, heart, and all the tension that comes from being trapped with the person you swore you were over.
Maren and Eli’s story is about more than romance. It’s about friendship, heartbreak, trust, forgiveness, and realizing that sometimes the person who hurt you is also the person who still sees you most clearly.
It’s for readers who love contemporary romantic comedy, emotional friends-to-lovers romance, and stories where the happily-ever-after feels earned.
