A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning—absolutely off-limits—ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.
If they can nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again...

Review: The Worst Best Man is a funny, heartwarming romantic comedy. I loved the ironic, no-nonsense way in which it is written. I also loved the interesting insight into the lives of second generation immigrants, mixing two different cultures and trying to uphold the traditions of the countries their parents were born in, while at the same time blending in with the rest of the society.
The plot? Well, it started amazingly well but at some point lost part of its charm. I never felt a deep connection between Lina and Max. I read the words about their attraction, about how they became involved, but somehow those words did not translate into feeling, into any sort of magic spark. And this is the reason why I can't bring myself to rate The Worst Best Man with more than four stars.
Still, if you're looking for a fun book and don't mind an essentially predictable plot, then you'll enjoy The Worst Best Man very much.
Happy readings!
