We have missed a few "Warm Up Wednesday's", but since there is snow on the ground here in PA (note: It's March 20th!) seems like a little warming up is due! Not to mention there is snow in the forecast two more times in the next 10 days! I am beginning to think this Groundhog should be fired or shot! Early Spring my foot! He does reside in PA, you would think when he says early Spring he would at least be talking about her own state. Well enough about horribly inadequate weathering predicting groundhogs....
Every girl dreams of her wedding day; the flowers, the music in the air, the dress flowing down the isle and the smile of pure happiness from her fiance waiting at the other end of the isle. What Faith Holland did not dream about was the anxious look on her perfect fiance's face and the sudden interruption from his best man! Several years after being thrown into a reality she never even dreamed aka dumped at the alter, Faith returns to her family's vineyard ~ Blue Heron Winery! I mean, talk about a family made in heaven, what girl wouldn't love to come from a family of wine makers. It's like perfection in a bottle! Except, what Faith returns to is hardly perfection; a town that is expressing their sympathies for being left at the altar at ever turn, a family full of more drama than ABC's Thursday night prime time, an ex-fiance who is the perfect town doctor/owner of Lyons Den Vineyard and the constant impinging with the greatest "Best Man" a wedding has ever seen. Yes what's not to love about the one and only, Chief of Police Levi Cooper, wedding crasher extraordinaire. Of course, then there are those sleepy green eyes (who cares if they are giving you a 8 on the boredom scale when they look that good), the tousled hair and who could miss those arms.
Levi, although not bad in the looks department, sure has some serious aversion to feelings. (There were many night I wanted to reach in the book and smack him "upside his head") After a short failed 3 month marriage, to which his wife just up and bailed one day, Levi has decided women aren't worth the effort. That is until the reappearance of Faith Holland starts questioning his resolve. Sure there was that one time, 8 years ago, where they had a little spark, but they were just kids and she is his best friends ex for goodness sake (Seriously, man code or not, when your best friend "the ex" is rooting for you, then stop being an idiot) Of course, nothing test a man's resolve like a woman in distress, especially when that distress means she's hanging halfway out of a bathroom window with basically just a bra on. The Chief of Police can't just leave her hanging, right?
I don't want to say much more other than this was our first book with author Kristan Higgins and I must say I was not let down. Of course when you are good friends with Jill Shalvis (my new hero), you are sure to write a good story. If you are looking for a good love story (this one is not even smutty), with several twist and turns you don't see coming go check out "The Best Man" by Kristan Higgins. I will definitely be checking out her other books.
