The Summary
Lilly Walsh is used to keeping things buttoned-up and aboveboard. After all, the last time she hooked up with someone in a wedding party, it nearly cost her her wedding planning business. Thankfully, those rules don’t apply when she meets a handsome stranger in a hotel bar. One bad pirate joke leads to the best night of her life, but come morning, she’s got a wedding to plan.
Lincoln Reid never imagined he’d see the woman who rocked his world last night and then ran out on him ever again. But there she is, planning his best friend’s wedding with the same passion and drive that brought him to his knees. She’s adamant that wedding planner and best man can never mix, but that just means he’s got four weeks to make her see him as more than just a one-night guy. Because he’s itching for more than one night...or five, or ten…
My Review
Leading with the sex in chapter one, we meet our heroine, Lilly, trying to gracefully escape a scorching one-night stand. Not the type of girl to do that on the regular (are they ever?), Lilly believes she'll never see Lincoln, our tall-dark-and-sexy hero, again. But she's in for one manly surprise when Lincoln is the Best Man for the wedding Lilly's company is planning. Oops!
I loved both Lilly and Lincoln right off the bat. They're both funny and sexy, with sparks flying. They have great chemistry, which is ratcheted even higher when Lilly refuses to continue a relationship due to her rule of "No dating clients or client-adjacent". But Lincoln is determined to get Lilly to break her rule and slip back into his bed.
This is a quick, light contemporary romance; the second in a series of stand-alones centered around the same group of characters. There is just enough tension, both due to Lilly's self-imposed rule and past relationships to keep the reader engaged. And of course, the sex is hot, and it never fades to black. Sweet, sexy, and a rockin good time, The Best Man Problem is one you will want to solve.
Final Rating
Excerpt
“Here’s your coffee, ma’am.”
Lilly ignored the barista as he set her to-go cup on
the counter, Lincoln’s words ringing in her ears, clanging out warning bells so
loud they drowned out every other sound.
“What do you mean you’re not visiting?”
He had to be visiting. The only facts she had on her Lincoln-is-bad-on-paper
list were that he was the best man in one of her weddings, he didn’t do
relationships, and he didn’t live here. One issue would be resolved in a matter
of weeks, and the others had to stick because he’d insinuated that he didn’t do
long-term. She did not want to fall for a guy who was just up for a fling,
because Lilly knew herself. She didn’t fling, she fell, and something told her
falling for Lincoln Reed would be a very bad move.
“I live here now,” he clarified. “Just moved into my place
this week.”
“Well that’s just perfect!”
He chuckled. “Are you sure? Because you don’t sound like
it’s perfect. You kind of sound like you want to throw your coffee on me.
Please don’t, by the way. I burn easily.”
Oh, ha-ha, look at Mr. Sexy and Funny being all attractive
and available and ruining the perfectly good wall she had in place for starting
any kind of relationship with him.
But he doesn’t do
relationships.
Yes, she had to keep reminding herself of that very important
fact.
Maybe I could just
have a fling with him. A sexy, naked fling. I didn’t fall after one night.
What’s the harm in a few more?
No she couldn’t! Could she? No. Absolutely not.
“You… I…just… Ugh!” She was so frustrated she couldn’t
even think of a good comeback. Why was this man constantly throwing her off her
game? She had to get out of here. Grabbing her coffee, she turned and headed
toward the door.
“You forgot your cream and sugar,” Lincoln called
after her, laughter in his voice.
Resisting the urge to flip him off—he was still a
member of her current wedding party—she waved a hand in the air, speaking
around clenched teeth. “I’ve got some in the
office.
Thanks.”
His deep, infectious laughter followed her out the
door and into the midday air, which had gotten even chillier in the ten minutes
she’d been in the coffee shop. Even his laugh was sexy. Perfect. Now how was
she supposed to resist him?
