The Best Men

by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely

Release Date: January 18, 2022

Review

This was pure fun and sex.  A larger than life opposites attract story of a stuffy wall street type (on the outside), single dad, and a rich ex-footballer (soccer), always out for a good time.


They get a dramatic start when Mark goes on a drunken rant in a group thread about Asher and his perfect abs and his smugness, not to mention the anticipated demise of his sister's wedding to Asher’s BFF Filipe.


When these two get roped into heading to Miami early to coordinate the wedding plans, their poking and button pushing leads them to a Wedding fling.


One problem..the more time they spend together, and get to know each other, the more they may not be satisfied with 4 days.


They are a lot of fun and super interesting guys.  I loved how straight-laced Mark is nothing of the sort in bed, and confident, famous Asher isn’t confident he’s worth loving in a forever kind of way.


Also, bonus points for Spreadsheet humour!! LOL


It made a really good audiobook, narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan.  They do an excellent job at capturing the characters and the story.

Synopsis



Bestselling authors Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely team up for the first time in an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, irresistibly sexy standalone romance between the best man and the other best man!

In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a life-long penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send ten drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake.

If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman.

I also used the phrase “super hot wingman,” so I’d like to die now.

Instead, I have to plan a wedding with the aforementioned hottie and share a too-small guesthouse in steamy Miami.

Three days in the sun with the cocky, charming former athlete who likes to push my buttons? Fine, two can play at that let’s-infuriate-each-other game.

Until Asher ups the stakes with one wildly sexy suggestion. A no-strings fling, then I go back to my single dad life in New York, and he returns to his star-studded one.

Sign me up.

But the more nights I spend with the other best man, the more I want days too, and that just can't happen. Especially when I find out the real reason why…

Contents Include: First times, a secret to-do list, champion-level flirting, fast cars, #eggplants, and two men who look good in formal wear.

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

REVIEW: Once Upon a Second Chance by Davidson King (Once Upon a Holiday Story Series)

  ONCE UPON A SECOND CHANCE Once Upon a Holiday Story Series by Davidson King Release Date: November 15, 2024 Review What a wonderful holiday romance. Small-town vibes, two really great guys, a little hurt comfort, an age gap, and a lot of tenderness. Aaron - a young man who’s known struggles more than he’s known safety and comfort and home.  Daniel - an older wealthy man with a heart of gold and deep ties with the small-town, but with the sting of lost love weighing on his heart. The tentative friendship, turned fling, turned so much more is sweet and patient. I love how important they become to each other so quickly and the healing they each help with. But equally beautiful was the town's role in their story. The common element to the series - The Hook’s Book Nook - is fun, though a small part - the two women who run it are wonderful, I would love a series about them and their travels.
