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.… (mere)

Not for me

Liked the wedding planner idea but thought the “dating brother of the man who left me at the altar” to be ridiculous and nothing at all happened in the story to make me believe in this couple.

Hmm. I read this so long ago that I struggle to rate it... but I recall that I was frustrated with the "bad guy" and his behavior. And not in a good way; rather that if it were real life, that guy would've got decked time and time again, but he came out on top in several of the interactions in the book.

Max and Dean were the highlights for me. I liked Lina but felt I never really got into her head and therefore that makes me slightly more partial to our bros. Cute book and not as bad as some reviews painted it to be. ( )

Lina was left at the alter three years ago. When her job pairs her up with the best man who convinced her groom to leave her, sparks fly! Loved this rom-com! Devoured it in a day! ( )

The Best Worst Man
3 Stars

Up and coming wedding planner Carolina Santos is offered the opportunity of a lifetime to audition for the position of official wedding coordinator for an up-scale hotel. Unfortunately, she is forced to work with marketing expert, Max Hartley, her former fiancé's brother, who drunkenly convinced his sibling to leave Lina at the alter. As Max and Lina battle against their mutual animosity and their unwanted attraction, they soon realize that more is at stake than their jobs. They may just be risking their hearts as well...

An ethnically diverse cast of characters, an interesting cultural context, and a potentially delightful enemies-to-lovers romance - on the surface, The Worst Best Man has the perfect ingredients for an entertaining read. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite hit the mark.

Lina is an admirable heroine with a well-developed backstory, and one cannot help but feel for her predicament, especially considering the obstacles she has had to overcome as a woman of color in the business world. That said, she comes across as rather childish and immature in her attitude and actions toward Max. Yes, he played a role in her wedding fiasco; however, the groom made his own decisions and is no great loss.

Max is charming, respectful and caring. He seems to be the perfect hero, that is until the humongous chip on his shoulder comes into play. It takes him too long to get over his feeling of inferiority when it comes to his brother, and the game of one-upmanship between them is annoying. Some of the points that he raises as to why he should not be with Lina actually make sense and that is, I'm sure, not the author's intent.

The most significant issue with the book is the lack of chemistry between Lina and Max. Their banter is supposed to be witty and snarky, but actually comes across as juvenile and ridiculous. When they eventually give in to their attraction, the situation is more awkward than intimate and the dirty talk is particularly cringeworthy.

In terms of the portrayal of Brazilian-American culture, I cannot judge as I am neither Brazilian nor Brazilian-American. There are numerous reviews here on Goodreads that can offer a much more nuanced evaluation.

Finally, the narration of the audiobook is a mixed-bag. Rebecca Mozo is excellent with a wide vocal range, but Wayne Mitchell's pronunciation is problematic as his "s's" make a distracting sibilant sound almost like a lisp.

In sum, The Best Worst Man has its moments but does not completely live up to its potential. ( )
