Could the best man be her best option?The last person Meredith Turner expects to see at her best friend’s wedding rehearsal dinner is the guy she had a one night stand with. What’s worse, Lincoln Forrest is the best man and as maid of honor, her partner. To add insult to injury, she has to leave the rehearsal dinner early, and Lincoln is the one to help her with a deeply personal problem. The aftermath of that night brings big changes for them both.
Lincoln Forrest has helped his best friend meet the woman of his dreams, but recently he’s made a series of bad decisions, the biggest being leaving his career with the Army. Now the former K-9 handler is looking for a new career and trying to get his life back on track. Helping Meredith in her time of need connects her to him more than he expected. On a mission to right the wrong he created, Linc will do whatever is needed. But when the attraction that first drew them together flares to life again, will the obstacles between them be too much to overcome? Or has the matchmaker met his match? AMAZON 3 STARS
Good main characters and supporting friends, Ethan and Isabella. Ethan is Lincoln's best friend and Isabella is Meredith's. I found out later that Ethan and Isabella have their own story in Book 1 called "Blind Date Bet". It also explains a bit more about the title for this book.
Two strangers meeting, being attracted and having a one-night stand has been written before. Also seeing each other again unexpectedly was explained in the information about the book. But then a major twist happens that I didn't see coming and you don't often see in a book. I liked those unexpected moments.
I liked both Meredith and Linc and wanted to see them get together for more than just a good time. Linc was a good guy, a solid kind of person who was there for Meredith even when things got tough. Meredith had been pushed aside so many times in her life that she had to struggle to find happiness. She was tired of being an after thought in people's lives. She wasn't that though in Isabella's life. And Isabella also helps pull her through some tough stuff when she needs help. Then the story kind of slowed down. Meredith in particular re-hashed some things over and over. That was done a bit longer than I would have liked.
Something else that I want to mention that I liked was the different dogs introduced into the story.
Towards the end of the book Meredith has her "moment of stupidity" that almost ends them.
But a H.E.A. does happen for Meredith and Linc followed by a satisfying Epilogue.
