Her Best Man

Cruising for Life with Forgotten Tickets

Clearly, no person wants to be the clown of their social circle,  nor the brunt of rumors on their wedding day.  Yet life can and does overtake us at times, leading us to situations which can only be survived from the perspective of a Charlie Chaplin or a Buster Keaton.  Especially when it means we blossom from a timid mouse into a vibrant wholesome personality.

Synopsis:

For Sarah, her life fell apart assisted by serendipity the day she was left at the alter.  And from there, it was only a down hill slide into full love.  The genuine problem -- can Sarah survive the inadvertent hapless lovers syndrome that crosses her path the day on the cruise liner when she finds Will in her honeymoon stateroom?

Sarah thinks she is taking advantage of the unused honeymoon cruise to forget about her disastrous love life, a clingy mother,  and just maybe unsupportive friends.  Will hates what his brother has done to Sarah, and besides his instinct is to preserve Sarah at all costs.  The only brotherly thought in his head:  that his brother deserved a second chance at Sarah.  What better escape for him than to use his brother's unused honeymoon cruise ticket?

Suddenly the situation is definitely NOT NORMAL, with two people desperately trying not to fall in love and failing miserably.

Impression:

Her Best Man, is a romping love packed tale, which the reader simply can not put down.  Reminiscent of the style of PG Wodehouse, the characters  attempting to avoid at all costs crossing social boundaries find themselves unwittingly participating in slap stick events. 

The reader anxiously awaits each new escapade, breathless with the possibility they too can help Sarah figure out her loving dilemma.  If only Will were not so hard headed as Sarah herself maybe the reader could just convince them to stop and just talk to each other. 

The ability to bring the characters to life so vividly, is the material from which movies are made, and this one richly deserves to be there.

If you are looking for an afternoon or evening to lose yourself totally, then this is the book for you.
