The Worst Best Man

This is a sweet nail biter where you keep wondering if either guy will get it right. Christopher without even meaning too seems to make the same mistake of not talking the while story which makes things look bad. And August while professes to want to start again still clings to a lot of the past hurt which makes jumping to the wrong conclusion really easy. But somehow time and help form friends finally really communicate and give themselves a choice.

August O leary is a wedding planner in London. One of the best. He is chosen to plan the wedding of the year for a socialite family and is shocked to see that the best man and the man that will be helping Libby is his ex and the man he still loves, Christopher Burke. Christopher has never gotten over August and has made up his mind to look him up and try to work things out when fate steps in opening that door.

The Worst Best Man is a predictable but fun to read story. The characters are believable, and the story is enjoyable. I really liked the English settings, the English voice and the movement from different holidays though the story did quickly span a year.
If you like sweet romances, wedding planners, charming characters, socialites, second chances, cute dogs and a sweet ending this is for you.

August came to London from Boston for college and met what he thought was the love of his life with Christopher. They were in love all through college and planning their life together until Christopher dumped him. Even though it was about 8 Years Ago, August has never really gotten over it . He lives his life as a party planner and still lives in London, he has great friends and loves his job . August has never really had any other relationships since. He thought Christopher was his forever until he wasn't. Christopher realized as soon as he let August go that it was the worst mistake of his life. He knew they were from two different worlds but that did not stop them from falling in love . He let his family tell him what to do and he let all him go . He also has gone on with his life but has always wished for a second chance with August . When his best friend Libby gets engaged he goes with her to meet the wedding planner . When he walks into the office and see who the wedding planner is , he cannot believe his eyes . When August sees Christopher he cannot believe it either and gets angry . Over the past comes back to him and he can't believe that Christopher has come back into his life . From there Christopher believes he can get a second chance with August . August has been hurt so bad in the past from Christopher that he is not sure he wants to give him a second chance. But Christopher wears him down and they decide to try again. There were some good love scenes in the story but I did feel from this point on it went way too fast between them. I love August's straight best friend and how he tried to protect August from being hurt again. I did enjoy the story but as I said I felt it moved way too fast . There is definitely some additional angst in the story as well when August feels that Christopher has not changed when it comes to them being from different worlds . They break up for a second time and August leaves . I would have loved to see their story stretched out a little more and learn how they get over past hurts and start again . Overall it was a good read. Received ARC from publisher for honest review. Reviewed by Jodi for Alpha Book Club.
