sassysono 's review for:
The Worst Best Man
by Lucy Score
READ IN THE BEACH READS BOXSET
To me, this book felt like two books in one. Each part on its own was fine, but together it felt like a very disjointed read.
Act one: straight-up rom-com, OTT characters played for laughs put in crazy situations with an enemies to lovers / cold billionaire vs sassy girl next door vibe.
Frankie is a down-to-earth, hard working Brooklyn girl who is maid of honour at her rich best friend's tropical destination society wedding. She is a fish out of water, but doesn't let it phase her. She just wants her best friend's day to go off without a hitch.
Aiden Kilbourne is a businessman. Successful in acquisitions / making money etc. He is the groom's best friend and best man. Quiet and bored, he hasn't ever had a really serious relationship but when he meets Frankie he is intrigued. She is the complete opposite of the ditzy, waif-like debutantes he usually dates. She is self-assured, gorgeous (in a busty, size 8 way) and doesn't take any crap from anyone, especially him.
After initially getting off on the wrong foot, they band together to ensure the wedding is a success. A challenge at best with the bridesmaids and groomsmen constantly drunk and disorderly and the groom kidnapped and used as leverage against Aiden.
After the wedding and their holiday fling, Frankie and Aiden return to their lives in New York. This is Act two.
In New York the book becomes like most other regular contemporary romances. Aiden feels pressured by his father as head of the company to find a more 'suitable' girlfriend. But he decides that Frankie is worth the antagonism. He romances her and gets to know her family (who run a successful deli in Brooklyn), making friends with her brothers over family dinner and basketball games. He begins to realise that he needs Frankie to make his life complete.
Meanwhile, Frankie is afraid to go all in with Aiden. Knowing they are from completely different worlds, she doesn't want to feel cheap or someone "less than" in the relationship. Though Aiden is giving and open about wanting more, Frankie is holding back. She doesn't acknowledge it herself, but when her friend calls her out for her behaviour and she has her come to Jesus moment, she and Aiden commit to all in.
There is the requisite third act breakup. They work through their issues in the end and have a neatly packaged HEA.
This book contains multiple descriptive love scenes.
