From Booklist
Having set out for new territory after being left at the altar by her high-school sweetheart, Jeremy, Faith Holland has returned home to work at her family’s vineyard and help her widowed father find love, even though she’s been unlucky in love herself. Back home she’s forced to confront her former fiancé’s best man, Levi, now the town sheriff, who precipitated their wedding-day breakup by revealing that Jeremy is gay. The old animosity between the two gives way to chemistry, especially when they become neighbors and friends, helping each other heal from past heartbreak. Popular romance author Higgins has crafted an appealing novel about second chances. Faith’s family is quirky and charming, and her efforts to set up her father and rekindle the romance between her bickering grandparents are heartwarming. But readers will really swoon for the surly-turned-sensitive Sheriff Levi, who proves that he cared about Faith and her feelings right from the start. --Aleksandra Walker

Not much of a romance
By Kristin
I really felt that this book was a HFN story rather than a HEA story. Levi was nothing but mean to Faith for most of the book, and for no plausible reason. It is plain as day that he flat out doesn't like her. He only seemed to like her boobs. I don't think he liked her much even after they started having sex (I won't say dating because they never dated. It was just a booty call relationship.). I think Faith was just dazzled by her first foray into the joys of heterosexual sex so she didn't want to notice that Levi had the emotional depth of thimble. How many times does a guy have to look at you with disdain before you get a clue and move on. I see them becoming her grandparents someday. Not very romantic for a romance. The best part of the book was Faith's evolving relationship with Jeremy. That part felt emotional and real to me.

No "relationship" in this romance
By whimsical1
Do not purchase this book if you are looking for a traditional romance. I persevered through reading it simply because I wanted to be able to review it; giving it the benefit of the doubt. Higgins humor is amusing at first although the rhythm of the book never seemed to be in sync. At times there were sections of hi-jinks from the cast of characters that comprise the Holland family that were supposed to be funny but devolved into more irritating than anything else. Higgins also tried really hard to make this world seem like something out of a Disney Channel show whacky-family-friends story. It got to the point that it started to feel contrived and tiring. The "tension" of the story was so thin that it did not need 350 pages prior to the big "reveal"-by that point I didn't really care.
The characters of Faith and Levi could have been something but Higgins never created any kind of "romance" between them. I read past 200 pages and it was still at the point where Faith doesn't know if he (Levi) can even stand her and when it is told from Levi's point of view it's the same story. There was no true-romance between the two. Levi is depicted as a monosyllabic character that communicates mostly through stares and Faith is annoyingly perky and upbeat. Levi actually has more dialogue and shows more empathy for his gay best friend Jeremy who happens to be the man that dumped Faith at the alter.
Overall I would not recommend this book unless you want a story about a family of seemingly "loveable" characters and two protagonist that have a fling on the periphery of the story that somehow turns into a "relationship" with no explanation as to why or whether they could even stand each other and no true interaction between the two. This book was a test of my endurance to get through-I will not be picking up a Higgins book anytime soon.

I loved and hated it at the same time
By Marisa
I absolutely loved and hated this book at the same time. There were times I just wanted to just chuck this book and call it a day but I didn't. Then there were times I was so glad I didn't chuck the book and wished it would go on and on. So here is what I loved and hated about the book. Spoilers below.
~Loved~
Levi is such a man's man. He isn't afraid to take charge and do things no matter how mundane and sometimes not in his job description it may be. He is pretty messed up and definitely has some abandonment issues but he doe not at all let them limit his life. He makes lemonade whenever life throws him a lemon. He has sooooo much oozing sex appeal that would make any woman want to purr when he is around.
Faith is able to have a sunny outlook on life no matter what is thrown at her. Fiance who comes out of the closet just before vows, dead mother and all. And when she let's down those walls, oh nellie, boy does she feel. And it is so beautifully emotional.
When there was an emotional scene, ie, the airport scene when Faith breaks down after her almost marriage and a few others after that I cried right next to her. Those scenes are what redeemed the book for me. They were so right in flavor and character and feeling that I sniffed and wiped tears while turning pages. I loved that about the book. Even when Levi finally confronts his past. Man. Just perfect.
The seizure training that was imparted to the reader was unusually great. It is so hard to break the misnomer that items need to be shoved in someones mouth if having a seizure. I love how Kristan Higgins even writes how it is not important to call 911 unless the seizure lasts more than five minutes. It has shocked more than one person when I have instructed them of this. To just watch and be with the person seizing and make sure they don't get hurt and put them on their side so they don't asphyxiate. She didn't mention the possibility of losing control of stomach, bowels, and/or bladder but the quick information was wonderful to see in a book. It's terrifying to witness first hand, yet how the characters respectfully handled it, even when in High School. I was impressed the subject was used for a main character.
And lastly, again about Faith seizures. Her being epileptic didn't make her weak. It didn't make her family scared of their own shadow when Faith was around. They didn't treat her like a china doll in any respect. No one in her circle did. They were so real and so loving and just there and protective of her enough to let her lead a normal life that it was admirably written.
=Hated=
The towns people really got on my nerves. They seemed way too needy to be able to live on their own. Who seriously calls the police because a dog is under the house with their chicken? I mean seriously. And then the about town chatter. I guess it is supposed to be reminiscent of small town, which makes me so grateful I do not live in one.
Jeremy is just too likable. Everyone just absolutely loves him and he is always around. Granted we don't really get to meet him til almost 200 pages in but by then we hear how he walks the world with a cape flapping in the wind carrying his medical bag. He just really had the personality of a Golden Retriever. Such a lovable puppy. I get how he broke Faith's heart and he is an important plot point but by the time we got 200 pages in I was so over it.
The sad jokes that were used in the book from the gold digger not girlfriend to the transvestite almost hook up. To the herbivore carrot killer who shows up in a brown sack of a dress and proceeds to turn her veggie tray into mulch before everyone's eyes. Even the scene when Faith tries to crawl out of the bathroom window and her "boobage", not my word, is just hanging out.
Blue, Faith's lovable companion sounds just like a dog who isn't getting enough exercise but you still love him. Unfortunately at almost 3/4 of the book he starts humping everything and it is now part of all of his commentary? That just got on my last nerve.
Faith's grandparents. Seriously, why did they have to be written so acidic? I wanted to like them but couldn't.
Sometimes when there was a large group the background chatter basically made me feel like I was reading static. It was just a bit on the too much side. The better scenes were when there were just a few people present and there was not too much filler noise. I get the whole "trying to give the book color" business but it was more distracting then anything else.
Lastly, and this is a big one for me. Epileptics while they can drink an occasional glass or two, they should never get drunk. On more than one occasion Faith breaks these rules and she is a medicated epileptic who has had her dog therapy trained. This is in my opinion, irresponsible writing.
~=~=~=~
Like I said earlier I loved and hated the book. Now I cold go on and on. Point by point but I won't. All-in-all I come in at the middle ground for star rating of it. The emotional level of the book is very high and felt so real. Yet, the things I found annoying or despicable made me feel like giving it up. Given how I feel pulled in both directions I feel it is safe to say The Best Man is really a three star book. Dead center. Middle of the ground. But those tears will come if you read it.
I received this free ARC from Amazon Vine for my unbiased and honest review.
