I thought this was going to be a book about a maid of honor and best man hate to love and I was fully okay with that but this book was so much more! I laughed out loud so many times. Lucy’s writing is genuine, so funny and relatable. Navigating college friendships as we age and of course parents and their never ending quest from grandchildren. The characters were so real and honestly the book brought a real smile to my face. The banter and tension between Frankie and Aiden was spectacular. I understand why Lucy Score is an autobuy author for so many people!
On a side note the names of the rich people had me cackling. This book is so much more than you expect and definitely worth every second.

Lucy Score has done it AGAIN! I am absolutely obsessed with The Worst Best Man. It will make you laugh out loud, swoon, and make you want to read Lucy’s entire backlist.

Franchesca is the maid of honor and she takes her duties seriously. Shee needs to make sure that the best man fall in line for the wedding.

I love the sparks and the sass. The banter is terrific. Love the chemistry between the 2 main characters. I love how it moves so quickly. No boring parts in this book! The characters are terrific. Lots of fun.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

The Worst Best Man started stronger than possibly any novels I’ve ever read, engaging straight into the plot and these amazing characters. It then slowed a bit once they left the Carribeans—and that’s the only reason I removed one star; because I was hoping for that pace and laugh-out-loud scenes to go on forever. Still, great story, compelling and very likable set of characters, and amazing writing.

What a fun story! This book starts out action packed with an abduction of Frankie’s BFF’s groom. Then you get the story of Frankie and Aiden trying on their relationship for real. Aiden is a big marshmallow and I loved him.

I didn't realize it was a rerelease (I like the new cover) and I had it sitting in my kindle in the TBR already!
This was a fun, fast-paced, cute story. I liked the adventure of the first half and the funny and cute family story lines in the second.

I generally enjoyed this book, but found that the power/money imbalance wasn't really addressed and I think that ultimately this couple would not find their HAE without a lot of therapy.

I didn’t realize this was a re-release and I’ve already read this book in late 2022. I love the new cover. Everything Lucy Score writes, I grab!

I love her focus on character development with the enemies to lovers trope and the slow burn of getting those main characters to realize they need to give into their attraction.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book!
4 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley, Bloom Books, and the author for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

Franchesca aka Frankie is the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding. She loves her best friend and the groom and would do anything for them both. Frankie is not a fan of the rest of the wedding party. They are everything that she is not -- Rich, stuck-up, and shallow. Then there is the richest of the richest, the best man, Aiden Kilbourn. When the groom gets adult-napped a day before his wedding in Barbados, Frankie and Aiden have to work together to save the wedding.

This was such a fun and cute read! Aiden and Frankie couldn't be more different from each other. Aiden is the CFO for his family's successful business in Manhattan, Kilbourn Holdings. Frankie works full time, goes to grad school, and lives in Brooklyn. What I loved about Frankie is that she reminded me of myself -- stubborn, has no filter, told it like it was, and independent. Aiden was a strong hero, enough to handle her. I loved the banter between them both and their chemistry was off the charts. The characters and this story were hilarious. This book was different than Lucy's other books, but I still enjoyed it! As always, I look forward to reading more of Lucy's books!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Bloom Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I didn't realize that this was a re-release of the book. If I can remember correctly, I believe I read this book when it was first released (borrowed from a friend) and I don't believe I ever finished it. I first starting loving Lucy Score's books last year (2023) when I read the Knockemout Series!! Since then, I have been reading all of her work!
I am happy that I got the opportunity to read this book again and refresh my memory along with enjoying a classic Lucy Score book! I feel that there is just something missing between Aiden and Frankie, but just can't put my finger on it. Due to that, I would have to give this book a 4.5/5 stars!

I was a bit confused at first at who was what and did what but when I started to get into it, it was a funny story. Greta characters. A heroine with back bone. A great storyline that flowed well.

Lucy score has never disappointed me! I will forever read her books! And these new covers are just absolutely gorgeous!

I loved the spice between Aiden and Frankie. I loved the family elements between the two of them and how different they were. I did have difficulties here and there with the story line, and I did not like that every skinny person except Aiden’s mom was a b****. It was a good read just not quite a 5 star for me. I hope to read more by her and love it.

I didn’t realize this was a re-release when I requested! I read this a couple years back, during lockdown I believe, and while I enjoyed the story the plot was a little too chaotic for me and didn’t like the MMC very much.

While matron of honor in best friend Pru's destination wedding, Franchesca "Frankie" is paired with Aiden, "The Worst Best Man" ever! Or is he? Will she change her mind once she's spent quality time with him?

This story started with a destination wedding, a rich/snotty/snobby wedding party, and a kidnapped groom. Throughout the first third or so of this book, I was equally bored and irritated but at about 40%, the romance between Frankie and Aiden finally picked up and then I was hooked. Frankie was a breath of fresh air in a rich man’s world, and I loved the banter between her and Aiden. She was real and authentic and didn't censor her thoughts and feelings while talking to him. Lots of steamy love scenes too, both in and out of the bedroom.

Lastly, after listening to Maggie Moves On (4 stars) last year, I was excited to read more by this author, and I'm definitely glad I own a bunch more!

Location: Barbados and New York City

I received an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I love the way Lucy Score writes! Her characters are dynamic and engaging. Frankie and Aiden captivated me and I loved seeing them fall in love. Aiden kind of reminded me of Lucian in her knockemout series, but they had their differences too. The beginning was a little too much for my tastes, but overall I enjoyed this book!

This book is beautiful inside and out. I have loved everything from this author so naturally, this one didnt dissapoint. I loved Aiden and Frankie's banter and it made for some good rom-com moments. Really recommend for anyoine fans of the good ole' wedding rom-coms you'll really love this!

Lucy Score is the Queen of the Hot and sexy romcom. I love the new cover on this book! The story is wonderful.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

I love me a hood Lucy Score book so when I seen The Worst Best Man I jumped on it fast! I love a good strong FMC and Frankie delivered. I also really liked how Aiden after one bad encounter really tried to show up for franky. I really enjoyed their banter.

Now, what made me give it 3 stars was Frankie pushing away a lot and third act break up. Also, Pru is supposed to be Frankie's best friend yet let her bridesmaids talk to her like she was garbage because she wasn't rich. The girl fights a stereotypes werent it for me.

I still love Lucy and her writing style. Thank you for the arc.

I was provided a free advanced copy of this from @read_bloom and @netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
This is an older @scorelucy that is getting a revamp!
When Francesca agrees to be her rich best friend's Maid of Honor she tries her best to make it a perfect day, even if that means playing nice with the grumpy rich bachelor Best Man, Aiden Kilbourn. But when things begin to go awry the night before the wedding, and Aiden helps her fix things, she decides to give him a chance, but only on a limited basis. Will she be able to hold him back from going all in and falling in love? Will she be able to stop her feelings for him?
I loved Francesca. She was spunky, a do it yourself girl, who knew how to stand up for herself! Having read her Knockmeout series, Aiden was similar to Lucian (rich and broody), but not quite the same. I think I'm still a bigger Lucian fan, although Aiden and Francesca didn't have the long history like Lucian and Sloane. Still a good story, and lots of steamy scenes! 🫣
If you're a fan of Lucy Score, definitely pick this one up! If you've never read any of hers and don't mind some bedroom (or limo, or... other locations) scenes, check it out!
