Today’s review is on The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa. It is a 356 pages and is published by Avon. The cover is a teal green with a wedding cake on it with a bride shoving the best man off of it and the groom looking confused. The intended reader is someone who is interested in romance, strong female leads, and a humorous premise. There is mild foul language, sex and sexuality, and no violence in this novel. The story is told from first-person close of the two main characters Lina and Max. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- You are cordially invited to witness the worst best man get what he deserves.
A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn't lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blood from her past, Lina’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There's just one hitch... she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his Mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. But then he learns he'll be working with his brother's whip-smart, stunning -absolutely off-limits- ex-fiance. And she loathes him.
If they can nail their presentation without killing each other, they'll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina's ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn't interested in falling in love, and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again …
Review- A cute rom-com about fun characters who are not looking for anything but find it anyway. The novel starts three years in the past with the wedding jilting of our heroine Lina and how she handles being left at the altar, which is surprisingly well. We pick up in the future where Lina impresses an important woman who has been given an important job at her hotel, which is to branch out into offering wedding services. Seeing an opportunity to move up in her career Lina takes the chance but she has to work with a marketing manager who happens to be her former fiancé's brother. From there we get very normal rom-com, one-upping each other and playing pranks that kind of thing but they eventually work past that to really speaking to each other and moving into a friendly professional relationship and then into more. At the climax we find out that Max was not as involved in his brother jilting Lina at the altar and that is my one dissatisfaction with this novel. We never discover why Lina’s former fiancé left her. But it is a nice popcorn romance and if that's what you're looking for to read I do recommend this.
I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
