Thank you NetGalley and publisher for opportunity to read and review this arc honestly.

This was an enjoyabale read. It started out a bit different than I expected (not in a bad way) then tapered off to a normal humor filled rom com type story with a bit of spice. I enjoyed the quick wit of the main character though sometimes her personality left something to be desired (however there was great character growth-and even the annoying parts, were understandable why she behaved the way she does). I absolutely loved the supporting characters Chip and Pru as well as a few others. I felt totally immersed in their world and enjoyed the ride. Overall will recommend to others!

Maid of Honor Francesca is ready to tackle anything for this wedding. Everything except a best man with a big ego and bigger pockets. After chaos ensues at the rehearsal dinner, the two of them keep getting thrown together. Getting to know Aiden wasn’t part of the plan, but it just might have to at this rate.
I really enjoyed this book! Although it wasn’t my favorite Lucy Score, it still had that signature charm that all of her books have. The elements she added into this book made it different than the other books that I’ve read from her. I loved the writing style, as well as the plot and the characters.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for an eARC of this book

What a fun, sweet story about love between two people from different "worlds".
When Frankie meets Aiden for the first time, there is no love lost between them. He is the ultra rich best man, while she is the maid of honor who worked two jobs to be able to afford attending the wedding. This book is their story, and it is a fun and wild ride. Lots of humor, friends, love, and forgiveness.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Oh man, this book was so unhinged and chaotic, and I loved it. This was the first book that I've read by Lucy Score and it definitely won't be my last. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book initially--basically all of the characters (except for Frankie) were entitled, rich brats and I hated them. I suppose having those types of characters was pretty much the intention of the book, but we could have gotten the same story out of less-annoying characters. I thought the wedding aspect would take up much more of the book, but I'm so glad it didn't. I enjoyed everything after the wedding. The spice was spicin', I loved the banter, and it was just so fun. Frankie was definitely hit or miss at times and a lot of her decisions didn't really make much sense to me, but I'll forgive it because overall I really enjoyed it.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Lucy Score knows how to bring the spice. Her books don’t disappoint if you’re looking for a quick enemies to lovers trope. The two main characters in this story had tons of witty banter to keep you on edge throughout the story. This one started quick with an interesting plot line following a wedding party of the 1%. I also love how her books are rooted in family, trust, and overcoming differences.

Putting this one down was very challenging. 5 ⭐️, I never feel like I’m actually reading a Lucy score book but watching a series unfold.

In The Worst Best Man, Lucy Score crafts a hilarious and heartwarming tale of a wedding party gone wrong, featuring a Maid of Honor, Franchesca, determined to save the day from the Worst Best Man, Aiden Kilbourn. With a doll-like bride, a perfect groom, and a nightmarish wedding party, Franchesca takes on the challenge with wit and sass.

Aiden, a successful businessman with commitment issues, meets his match in the smart-mouthed Franchesca from Brooklyn. The story unfolds with kidnapping antics, rude attendees, and a Best Man with a big attitude. Despite Aiden's playboy past, the sparks fly, and the reader is taken on a journey filled with humor, drama, and unexpected love.

Despite initial reservations about the hero's past, which came off as a bit of a serial monogamist, I found myself enjoying the dynamic between Aiden and Franchesca. The heroine's strength and intelligence were refreshing, and their evolving relationship was surprisingly sweet. The title may suggest a focus on wedding antics, but thankfully, that aspect is limited, allowing the story to delve into the complexities of the main characters.

The narrative transitions from a faux wedding scenario to a friend with benefits relationship, exploring the challenges of dating a wealthy and high-profile individual. While I wished for more depth in character intricacies and a departure from the typical rich-arrogant-man-meets-scrappy-woman plot, the humor and chemistry between Aiden and Franchesca kept me engaged.

In the end, The Worst Best Man delivers an enjoyable romantic comedy, blending humor, drama, and a touch of unexpected sweetness. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted read with a strong and witty heroine, this might just be the book for you!

Lucy Score has the ability to suck you in with her writing, wondering where time has gone. "The Worst Best Man" was such a delight to read. The dynamic of the wedding party was so vast and funny it made for a quick read. The romance was perfection and left me smiling. Loved this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for the ARC!

Lucy Score has done it again! I flew through Frankie's and Aiden's story. I enjoyed the tropical setting and action in the first part of the story (it warmed me up in the middle of this cold winter). Can't wait to add another Lucy Score book to my library's collection.

Aiden is my new favorite book bf. An adorable story of two hard headed strong people who find each other and make it work even when everything is against them. Yes I realize it’s a billionaire bf trope but I can’t hate on that dream. I might go so far as to say my favorite Lucy Score bf yet!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Adult • Romance

💍 billionaire romance
💍 close proximity
💍 opposites attract
💍 dislike to love
💍 best man/maid of honor
💍 found family
💍 HEA

📍 “I’ll be whatever it is you want me to be.”

My goodness, Aiden Kilbourn is the original book boyfriend *sign* *swoon* *fan*

But let’s rewind a bit. This book started with me laughing my rear end off. To say the dialogue between Aiden and Frankie is hilarious might be the understatement of the year. I wasn’t just smiling. No. I was full blown laughs reading Frankie’s comebacks 😂

📍”It felt like something had broken inside him, and now there was light getting in through the cracks.”

The way they go from best man/maid of honor to spies to stealth recovery mission was the literary gold I didn’t know I was missing in my life.

And when they go back to “real life” and we get Frankie’s brothers?! Ah. Pure perfection. I was fiercely rooting for Aiden. For him to get his girl but also friends like her brothers. I was rooting for him to tell his family all the things they needed to hear.

But that he didn’t. No. Frankie did. Because she might be Frosty the Snow B sometimes, but she’s ALWAYS the feistiest defender of those she loves. She goes to battle for every single one of them. Frankie doesn’t live in halves. She doesn’t care in moderation. Her heart is as ruthless as it is big.

📍 “Don’t argue about not belonging to me. I belong to you. I’m yours. All in, remember? It goes both ways.”

From Lucy’s “before TWNGO,” this is probably my new favorite 🥹

Lucy Score knows how to do a spicy romance! I loved how this book developed from a rom com to a billionaire romance. And Aiden’s character arc from most eligible bachelor to all in with Frankie was beautiful!
The banter is strong between these two and doesn’t let up! Frankie holds her own and I love a FMC who takes care of herself.
Strong 4.5 stars from me! I love an enemies to lovers trope and Lucy Score knows how to did it well!

Frankie is the sole “regular” bridesmaid in her best friend’s wedding. The others are pampered socialites written as charicatures but stays on this side of the line of going too far so it’s funny. Aiden is the best man who typically goes for shallow relationships but sparks fly when Frankie overhears him insulting her early on. At the destination wedding they’re forced to work together to try to save the wedding day and get closer. As they meet each other’s families and try to figure out if they can overcome their past hurts and blend very different lifestyles there’s a diverse group of supporting characters, which I enjoy. The bride doesn’t mind telling her MOH when she’s messing up.

A great, fun and easy read! Not my favourite book by Lucy Score but still enjoyable. As someone who has been to Barbados, I appreciated how accurate some parts were. As many books don’t take the time to research the destination like in this one.

this book is about frankie and aiden, whose romance takes place at a wedding which is like my favorite trope!!
it was pretty instalust which i didn’t mind because i really liked how slowburn it was.
the third person pov made it kind of stiff but i went past it and i still enjoyed the story!!
not gonna lie it was kinda a lackluster at some point but it was really funny in a romcom way.

overall i really liked it, it’s a cute read but it’s not mind blowing

Laugh out loud funny, sexy, and romantic! Everything you’d expect from a Lucy score movie. I just wish the chase at the end would’ve lasted a little longer and Marge needed a whole lot more of humble pie. But Frankie and her family jump off the page and are so relatable it makes everything so much better. I fall more in love with Lucy score books with every read!

Romance. Comedy. Drama. Even some suspense. This was a fun and steamy read by what I’m discovering to be one of my favorite authors.

Thanks to NetGalley for this book in exchange for my honest review. The Worst Best Man is out now!

Unputdownable! Is that a word??

Bridal party duties thrust Frankie and Aiden together ... well that and a little kidnapping! And that is just the beginning.

This book had a little bit of everything, spice, humor, family secrets, friendship and love. My first Lucy Score book, but definitely not last.

Aiden and Frankie meet for the first time at their respective best friend’s engagement party. Frankie, the Maid of Honor, is a Brooklyn girl through and through, working two jobs while in school getting her MBA. Aiden, the Best Man, is the billionaire bachelor known for working hard and his revolving door of cookie cutter women. The two of them go together like water and oil but Frankie refuses to let anything ruin her best friend’s big day and tries to sheathe her claws when she’s around him.

The night before the wedding, they find themselves the only sober ones in the group, a kidnapped Groom and now have to work together to locate and rescue him before the wedding.

Only, the Groom isn’t the only thing Aiden is looking for now.

Frankie has caught his attention and the more she turns him down, the harder he plans to fight because Kilbourn’s don’t lose. Frankie just might be more than Aiden bargained for. She’s fierce and scrappy and protects those she cares about but she’s also guarded and Aiden will have to use more than his board room take over tactics to win her over.

Lucy Score writes the BEST enemies to lovers banter! The chemistry between these two was off the charts and I found myself laughing and squealing out loud an embarrassing amount of times 🤣 this one is definitely my new favorite by her.

Frankie and Aiden’s story is a rollercoaster ride of fun balanced with just the right amount of spice. Lucy Score pens strong female characters & gives them a male counterpart who appreciates them just as they are.
