Goodreads
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.
One brother who will do anything for his sister and one super hot wingman leads to a delightful read! The Best Men is the story of, well, the best men at a wedding, what else?!
Mark is the kind of nerdy single dad brother of the bride. I just loved him. His complete opposite is Asher-a super hot, athletic photographer best friend of the groom. He is flashy and well known. This really is a perfect opposites attract story and I loved every minute. There is great banter as Asher tries to bring Mark out of his comfort zone a little. Honestly, the story is written so well I couldn’t really tell who wrote which parts (and I tried) because it all just works. The Best Men will have you laughing and swooning in equal measures as you root for Mark and Asher.
There is a prequel story you could pick up called Super Hot Wingman. It isn’t necessary to read, but it is also enjoyable. It gives insight into Mark and his initial thoughts on the “super hot wingman” in his sister’s wedding.
