The Best Men by Lauren Blakely, Sarina Bowen
5.0
Panty melting hotness mixed with giggle out loud laughter. The Best Men combined the best of both worlds which made for utterly divine reading.
The powerhouse duo of Blakely and Bowen absolutely blew the roof off this book!! From beginning to end I couldn't put the story down. Yes, this book was hot, pure molten lava fire HOT! But, these boys, sorry men, were also flushed out, well developed and supremely well written that I was right there living every moment with them. I was completely immersed in their world and never wanted to leave.
Mark Banks is a single, divorced father. He works on Wall Street in a high pressure job and he's the main caregiver to his 6 year old daughter. It doesn't leave a lot of time or basically any time for dating or relieving the stress of his life. He's not bitter about where he is in life, per say, he just never thought he'd be single with his only companion being his hand late at night dreaming of wicked fantasies he'd one day like to have that didn't involve just his palm and five digits as dates. When Mark meets Asher St. James, a man who exemplifies the single bachelorhood lifestyle, Mark instantly and outwardly loathes him, but also inwardly he wants to mount him and introduce him to his late night activities. It's very confusing to his steady late night date.
Asher is a fun, former athlete - now professional photographer. His smooth personality wins everyone over, everyone except Mark Banks. Basically Asher's that guy that everyone in the room likes and he can't understand why Mark Banks doesn't seem to like him. Asher shouldn't take it personally, it really isn't him per say. Well, it sort of isn't him. Asher isn't used to flirting with straight men, but is Mark straight? All signs of his divorce and six year old daughter would say yes, but the very confusing things Mark says to Asher would say otherwise. Don't take it personally Asher...there is a very specific reason Mark is the way he is...Lucky for both of them, a week in Miami planning a wedding for Mark's sister and Asher's best friend should help clear things up, or at least clear out Mark's excel spreadsheet.
A fun, totally steamy, opposites-attract great read!!
