Being the best man is a lot to live up to …
When troubled army veteran and musician Josh Robertson returns home to Nashville to be the best man at his younger brother Chad’s wedding he’s just sure that he’s going to mess it all up somehow.
But when it becomes clear that the wedding might not be going to plan, it’s up to Josh and fellow guest Louise Giles to make sure that Chad and his wife-to-be Maggie get their perfect day.
Can Josh be the best man his brother needs? And is there somebody else who is beginning to realise that Josh could be her ‘best man’ too?

Review
Here Comes the Best Man is part of Angela Britnell’s
Nashville Connections series and is the sequel to her earlier book The Wedding
Reject Table, which I have read. This book can easily be read as a standalone
as its focus is on two different characters Josh and Louise, rather than the
previous book which focused on how Chad and Maggie met and there are enough
hints throughout the story to work out what happened earlier.
It’s Chad and Maggie’s wedding in Nashville and as best man
Josh has reluctantly made his way home from living in Colorado. Louise is Maggie’s
godmother’s assistant and has come over from England to help Audrey out with
her stay. When Chad and Maggie’s wedding plans start to go wrong it’s up to Josh
and Louise to overcome their pasts and come together to put things right. Gradually
as these to spend more and more time together they each realise that the other
one could be the answer to their happiness.
It’s obvious from the start that these two have a chemistry
but what was lovely to read was the reluctant they both had to start a
relationship, I found this very endearing. Whether its because Josh is older,
he’s been in the army and more cautious with his emotions or just because he’s
come from a good family and been brought up with manners his attitude and
actions towards Louise were very honourable and made a refreshing change to
read about. He doesn’t even push her to speak if she doesn’t want to. Louise
herself was clearly hiding from something in her drab blending in clothes and I
love how with a few compliments from Josh she gains some confidence and turns
herself into a real sexy beauty.
Despite its short length this novella packs in a great deal
of character development and I really felt I got to know the characters as
well-rounded individuals which is often missed in shorter books. This is a
story which has some lovely moments and is perfect for anyone who wants to read
about true romance.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Choc Lit for sending me a
copy to review and to Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to be part of
the blog tour.
