he thing about the best man's proposal is that i don't actually remember him proposing anything. because the whole thing that gets niki and grant living together is niki's sister and new husband's doing. it's super awkward because niki and grant had just had the best one night stand, and now they are supposed to be roommates.

it's a temporary thing though. grant is selling his house to move back to upstate new york, and niki has a job offer that could have her moving to london. everything they want for their future is the complete opposite. grant wants to work back on his family's farm and find a way to serve his community—he's a firefighter in miami. and niki wants the city life. she wants thrills and excitement.

but for all that they want opposite things, they also want each other. being in each other's space all the time only brings out the blazing hot chemistry they have. but how can they have a future when there is no middle ground to compromise on? how can they make it work without one of them having to give up their dreams?

grant is always ready to save the day for niki, but he already gave up his dreams for someone once, and he doesn't have it in him to do it again. even though niki is worth it. but are her dreams really what she wants? or have her dreams changed?

there are lots of questions here. and they do all get answered. niki and grant have something worth fighting for. as roommates they fit into each other's lives just so, so there has to be a way to figure it out long term.

Had never read this author before but, will read again. Was a hot read. Great characters and who can resist a romance storyline? One of the vetter reads of my 2017.

This booked pulled me in and I could not put it down.

I loved how both character where trying to figure life out and how the other could fit into their life.
Niki is fresh out of college working her dream job, with an amazing chance to move out of the country (to London) to start fresh. At her sisters wedding a steamy one night stand turns into more. When the Best man (and the guy she slept with) takes her in right after she is basiclly asked to move out. Things are great and akward, but both start to fall for each others. Life happens and things get conffused, soon Niki is off to London and Grant is off to New York. Can these two figure out their crazy lives and come together to live happly ever after?

This is my first book by Wynter Daniels.

What I didn't like:
Niki

I had a hard time staying interested in the story.

Two people who seen so wrong for each other are somehow also perfect together. It's a story about opposites and how they come over their differences simply because they know that their love is worth all that. I loved it! And I think their story is truly amazing. It's a must read for every contemporary romance fan. I enjoyed it a lot, with so many laugh-out-loud moments and swoon-worthy romantic scenes.

Niki wants to get out of under her sister's shadow. What more she wants to work and love in Europe. It has always been her dream and she is willing to endure a few hardships now and then if it means that ultimately she will be moving to London. Also after a few bad experiences she has decided love is not in the cards for her. She just wants to focus on her carrier and achieve what she has always wanted in her life. Until she meets Grant.

Grant is a country man, he is waiting for his house to be sold so that he can move back to take care of his family's farm. What he and Niki has can go no further than friends with benefits. But for some reason he wants more, after a long time he has felt this way about someone, and he just wants to give it a try.

Although, they both have decided that they are wrong for each other and any relationship between them will not work, but the fate has something else in mind....

I love both Niki and Grant. The author has done a great job with these two characters, they're very well written. Niki is exactly the kind of heroine I like most, and well, Grant is definitely something to talk about. Together they are simply perfect and the chemistry between them is off the charts hot. I quite enjoyed reading their story and I hope others do too.

Niki Hamilton on the rebound, hooks up for one night with Grant Powers at her sisters wedding never expecting to have to see him again. Turns out her sister thinks it’s a great idea for Niki to stay in Grant’s spare room after she loses her room. We follow Niki and Grants attempts to stay as platonic housemates, which gets harder as they get to know each other.
I found some of this book a bit repetitive and fraught.

Another great story from Wynter Daniels, the more I read the deeper I fell into this story.

Niki, dumped via text by her now ex the day her sister is getting married, dressed in what she describes at best flamingo look, she may very well blend into the locale which is Miami. She's just started a new job and her boss is a real jerk, and will soon find out she has no place to live. She's living at her sisters condo while it's up for sale until she can find another job. The hitch here is that giddy beyond belief the happy couple make an announcement that the condo has sold and Niki has two weeks to get out. And no place to go. So in her sister's need to "fix" and the new husband going right along problem solving for Niki, they talk to Grant, Joel's firefighting best man and since Grant's house in for sale and he has an extra room, he's slowly sucked into agreeing Niki can stay there. They're both resistant to the idea
Grant is still extremely gun shy and bitter after moving to Miami with his wife because of her career, leaving his job, friends and family and the only life he's ever known to move to Miami and he hates it.
That's why the house is for sale, he wants to return to his family's farm to help his parents.
He and Niki seem to get along quite well, their love of old movies and much in common, but he holds back especially where his ex is concerned. Grant resents the way Niki's boss treats her and dangles the carrot of something more in front of her. Grant takes Niki up to his parents for the grandparents 60th anniversary when Niki is called home the day before the party which she helped plan. She's good at what she does. When she arrives she discovers her boss didn't need her at all. But the carrot still dangles.
Grant decides to lower the selling price in hopes of selling sooner and Niki doesn't know until the real estate agent tells her. This leads to all sorts of crazy thinking and then when his beloved cat runs out the front door, her world goes to hell.
It's a great story that has two people stuck in their own mindsets who finally meet in the middle. Middle of what? You have to read the book to find out. Grant is dreamy and I liked Niki.
Put this one on your TBR list!
4.5 stars

I am a sucker for any Entangled books. This one was not different.
Niki Hamilton is kind of a sad sack. She is living rent free at her sisters, while working a new job she hopes lands her in London. She kind of has a "poor me Vibe" that I didn't love, because she was a grown up, but putting that aside, she was ok.

Firefighter Grant Powers, recently got divorced. He is selling his Miami home to move back to his family's farm in NY. He is done with city life. At his friend's wedding he hooks up with Niki. It was supposed to be a one night stand, until his friend asks is Niki can stay with him while she is looking for somewhere to live (again.... kind of sad a grown women is treated and acts like a child). He agrees and one night turns into love.... with some bumps along the way to happiness.

How romantic and sexy. Fighting attraction isn't always what it is cracked up to be. When you meet some one that has goals that are different than yours what do you do? Do you change your goals or do you realize those goals you had are actually not what you want. Grant and Niki meet and when they do is it fate, destiny, or disaster?
Thank you NetGalley and Wynter Daniel for allowing me to read and write a honest review of this book.

4/5 stars! Loved the sexual tension in this book, but was expecting a little more than I received based on the description. The animals in this novel is what bumped my rating up so high and made me fall in love with the book! Well done!

‘The Best Man’s Proposal’ doesn’t quite seem like a title that would fit the blurb at all. Nonetheless, the premise—of life pulling people in 2 different directions and the compromises needed to close those 2 opposing ends—sounded interesting enough for me to put in a request for it. But not having read the first book, I didn’t quite know of any history between Grant and Niki and there are hints that something else had happened in the prequel for this story to begin with the morning after walk of shame that ended up as a forced-roommate situation.

Admittedly, it did take me a while to get into the book as there was quite a fair bit of repetition from the start: the best sex of Niki’s life, her inability to stop noticing how hot Grant’s body is, her inability to think when he was near. She did come across as a disaster at times: insensitive, self-absorbed, presumptuous about the way Grant might think and also too much of a damsel in distress who can’t seem to handle herself without needing Grant to come to her rescue. In fact, Niki didn’t seem to know what she really wanted except to go to Europe and live in London, to the extent where she did nearly everything that her manager dangled in front of her—with the London job as bait—while treating her like crap. That she finally grew a spine towards the end redeemed her a mite bit for all the indecision that plagued her.

Apart from an undeniable attraction, I couldn’t find very much that would make Grant and Niki an equal (let alone well-suited) pairing, the differing maturity levels being the most glaring point for me along with their contrasting living preferences. But this perhaps also has to do with the fact that I liked Grant a lot more than I liked Niki which clearly affects my rating of the book. Grant’s sweetness towards his geriatric cat was adorable though (cats are my weak spot; men with cats slay me) and to be absolutely unfair, that shot him up in my esteem immediately.

In short, it wasn’t quite a story that resonated with me, particularly when a protagonist stood out more than the other. I only wished I enjoyed it much more than I did, especially since the only mental takeaway I have here is a picture of Grant with his beloved Orange cat.

4/5 Stars
Wynter Daniels has written another fantastic book! I really enjoyed the "The Best Man's Proposal". Niki and Grant have a one night stand at Niki sisters wedding thinking they weren't going to be running into each other after that, but how wrong they were. Niki moves into Grants place till she can get back on her feet again. As their romance goes on we get to see them really start to find true love with each other and mend their broken hearts. There are many funny moments in this story and of course the fat cat named Sarge... I would totally recommend this book for anyone who wants a great love story that is light hearted.

This book has mostly mild cursing (one single f-bomb) and one on-screen sex scene that is short enough that it could be skipped over easily. If those things will cause you to leave a negative review, you might want to skip this one.

This was my first book by Wynter Daniels and although I wasn't really sure about the premise, I was very impressed that this story was so character-driven. While Grant and Niki had a ton of chemistry, Ms. Daniels wrote this with a ton of smolder without it turning into a giant sex-fest that would have sacrificed the story or character development. I loved that the calamity, the humor, and the drama were really well balanced. And Grant was the perfect book boyfriend – his relationship with Sarge was literally the big fat cherry on a very sexy, very perfect sundae. I loved him.

If you enjoy a love story that starts out in an unconventional way but that ends in the best way possible with a bunch of laughs and some angst along the way, you will enjoy this book. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

I requested and was generously granted an ARC of this book via NetGalley and the publisher. I was under no obligation to write this review, I did so because I enjoyed the story.
