~ Goodreads Monday: The Worst Best Man (02/01/21)~

This is a weekly meme where any one can choose a random book from their Goodreads TBR and highlight it. Once you choose a book and create your post, make sure you link and reference the creator, @Lauren’s Page Turners. Eventually, I will try to find a rhyme or reason to my choices, but for now, each week will feature a random one that I mean to read soon!

This Week’s Selection: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

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 managed to make other people’s dreams come true as a top-tier wedding coordinator in DC. After impressing an influential guest, she’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.

Tired of living in his older brother’s shadow, 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 survive the next few weeks and 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.

But even the best laid plans can go awry, and 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…

A novel that’s been on my TBR even before its 2020 release. Similar to The Royal We, it came back on my radar when I started thinking of novels to help complete the 2021 Popsugar Challenge (post eventually to come to post about my progress).

As I did not get fully back into reading until April 2020, this one was released before I started getting to read ARCs and other ebooks. Instead, I originally came across this book when randomly wandering around a Barnes and Noble with my friends and I remembered it looked fun to read. When I started my Goodreads account, I randomly remembered it and my TBR list gained another listing.

This story has received many mixed reviews so I’m very curious what my thoughts will be once I finish it!
