Description:
Three days before Erin Bellini’s wedding, her fiancé breaks up with her–in an email! Hurt and embarrassed, she decides to have a fling with veterinarian Jason Callum, who’s both the best man and the hottest guy she knows. But Jason wants a lot more than just a one-night stand with the woman he’s cared about for years. So he’s taking things slow. And hot. And showing Erin what real love can look like.

Suddenly Erin finds herself spending a lot more time with Jason than she intended. Feelings she never planned on having again are wrapping around her heart, refusing to let go. Erin isn’t sure she can trust her instincts, though. After all, she made a terrible choice with her ex-fiancé. But Jason intends to convince her that he’s the best man for her, and that what they have together is a real love that will last forever.

Review:

The Best Man Plan by Jaci Burton is the first book in her new Boots and Bouquets series.  Erin Bellini, our heroine, is devastated when her fiancé breaks up with her three days before the wedding.   Erin’s family runs a vineyard, and they also handle weddings, as the girls (sisters) are wedding planners. Erin is determined to still have a party, since their venue is now available, and she puts on a strong face.  Erin decides she wants revenge sex, and looks at her best friend, Jason.

Jason Callum, our hero, has always loved Erin, but was willing to step aside to allow his friend Owen to woo and win Erin’s heart.  Now with him gone with the wind, no one can understand why Owen left Erin holding the bag without talking to her, having sent an email. Jason has always been there for Erin, and now with her falling all over him, he doesn’t know how to handle her advances, assuming she is acting on the rebound.

Erin has an amazing family, great group of friends, including Jason, and they all are there to help support her.  I also loved both Jason and Erin’s puppies, who were so cute.  This is a friend to lovers’ story, and Erin has no idea that Jason has always loved her.  She is determined to have friends with benefits with Jason, as she finds him very sexy; but of course, no plans to become a relationship.  Jason himself is trying his best to avoid Erin’s advances, as he feels she is acting irrationally.  Best laid plans.  Lol 

I will say that Erin and Jason were fantastic together, as they made a super couple, with sizzling chemistry.  Erin begins to realize that what she had with Owen wasn’t love, and Jason is the man for her.  Will she step out of denial and own up to her growing feelings for Jason?

The Best Man Plan was a fun, sweet, enjoyable story.  Besides Jason and Erin, I loved all the other wonderful characters, whom I expect to find more stories in the future books of this series.  I also loved the vineyard and wedding planning background.  Once again Jaci Burton gives us another wonderful romance, and a series I will need to keep reading.  I wholly recommend that you read this book.
