The Best Man (The Manly Series #1) by Teddy Hester

   Convincing her To Give Him A Chance

Leo DePaul is a divorce lawyer and  Juliette is a wedding planner. Leo believes in love and Happy ever after whilst Juliette doesn’t believe in it at all.  They meet when she has to fit his tux for him to be best man at his brother’s wedding to Juliette’s best friend.  The sparks fly left, right and centre between them and he is struggling to get her to give him a chance and , maybe, a HEA of their own.  Teddy Hester has created these two wonderful characters for The Best Man which is the first book in The Manly Series.  There is laughter, romance, passion. suspense, and mystery throughout this book by teddy.  This is the first book of what I think will be a really good series and I look forward to reading the rest!   I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Bridesmaid for Hire: A Valentine’s Day Romance by Chance Carter

  Bridesmaid + Best Man = HEA

Chance Carter is a fantastic author whose writing is really developing greater depth and I love the way that he pens such great plots and characters that practically leap off the page to the reader. In this book we meet Frankie who developed a business based on her marriage’s downfall where her supposed best friend [chief bridesmaid] had an affair with Frankie’s husband and ran off with him when her trying to sabotage the wedding didn’t work. So she decided that she would do her best that no one else had to go through with their ‘best friend’ ruining their wedding and so she is wedding planner, ‘best friend’ of the bride and she makes all the planning go smoothly.  She meets Levi who is the groom’s best man and brother at the latest client’s wedding. The two families are business competitors and Levi makes it clear that he doesn’t trust the bride’s family and especially Frankie! The air crackles with the intensity of the  chemistry between these two when they meet but they both have past issues and Levi certainly has trust issues and does not want to be in a relationship.  However, they’re like two magnets that are drawn together and can’t keep apart so they are either verbally sparring and Levi trying to cause problems with the planning as he is so grumpy OR they are getting hot and dirty between the bedsheets!  This is a fun read – no doubt about it. It was so easy to fall in ‘love’ with Levi and Frankie is the perfect foil to him. My imagination was captured on page 1 and Chance kept my attention focussed on their love story with it’s ups and downs till they fell for each other.  It was a fabulous ride and I thoroughly encourage you to grab yourself a copy of this book and enjoy.  If you’ve read books by Chance you will know how entertaining his books are. For those of you to whom he is a new author, you are in for a treat and have so many wonderful stories to catch up with!!  A book that I will be adding to my collection as I will want to re-read this in the future as it’s so good.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
