The Best Worst Honeymoon Ever

**Copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie by DreamSpinner Press for my reading pleasure in hopes of an unbiased opinion, a review was not a requirement.**

The Best Worst Honeymoon Ever is a stand-alone book by Andrew Grey. If you’ve read this author before, you know he typically writes sweet love stories and this book is no exception.

I liked Tommy, Grayson and Petey and thought they made a wonderful family. When Tommy is left at the altar, he struggles with figuring things out and hearing from friends and relatives their true feelings on his almost husband. His friend Grayson talks him into taking his honeymoon and Tommy insists that Grayson and Petey join him so they can have a vacation. Tommy was not quick to throw away his feelings for his ex-fiancee and for me, that dragged on a little too long but, he does move on. The vacation made him and Grayson spend more time together, which didn’t allow them to continue hiding their feelings for each other.

This was an enjoyable friends to lovers story with little angst. The ex did turn up to try and make things difficult but, fortunately, Grayson was there to keep Tommy together. Grayson was a terrific friend and didn’t allow his feelings to interfere with what was really best for Tommy or for Petey.

Be assured that when you buy this, or any Andrew Grey book, you’re going to get likable, genuine characters. I love the books that include children in the story, and this author does it so well. He creates a family with a strong relationship. He allows anything that stands in their way to just make them stronger together. With this book you’re going to get a HEA, a relaxing vacation read, and learning about a new (to me) area.

REVIEW BY JAY @ Kimmers' Erotic Book Banter: https://bit.ly/2sAQZTf

You can’t always see what is right in front of you. Andrew Grey’s 'The Best Worst Honeymoon Ever' is just that situation. Heartbreak at the altar provides two long-time friends the opportunity to discover what has been there all along.

Tommy Gordon is a wealthy game designer who appears reclusive when he is absorbed in his work. He is generous to a fault, wanting those in his life to be happy. Seeking love, he believed he had found his life partner, Xavier. However, on his wedding day Xavier turned out to be a gold digger with a conscience. Left at the altar, Tommy feels heartbroken, ashamed, and destined to be alone.

Grayson Phillips and Tommy have been best friends for almost a decade. Grayson is a ferocious protector of those he loves. He has never acted upon secretly harbored feelings for Tommy, because the timing was never right. He filled his life as a dad to his son, Petey.

Petey Phillips is a smart, stable, and amazing young boy. His matchmaking abilities shine as Tommy and Grayson take their friendship to the next level. Petey is loyal and protective of those he loves. At one point (actually several) he tells Xavier exactly what he thinks of him for hurting Tommy.

Grayson and Petey are right there to support Tommy and to help him get over Xavier’s betrayal. Since Tommy’s honeymoon in Bonaire is already planned, these three decide to make the trip together. Once there, they interact as a family, going on underwater adventures, seeing the sites, and generally enjoying themselves.

Then the gold digger is back. How he found the money to take a last minute trip to Bonaire is anyone’s guess, but alas there he is. Yes, Tommy has been having issues with the heartbreak and mess Xavier has made of his life, but the introduction of Xavier on their island paradise just ratchets up the tension and angst.

'The Best Worst Honeymoon Ever' is a cute friends to lover’s adventure that warms the heart. Two men who have been there all along, and who are perfect for each other, finally get their chance – which makes the timing believable. Add in a sassy young boy, and their clan is complete. With love, support, and family, this feel-good romance once again shows how everything happens for a reason.
