Lowlights: Some of the antics felt like a bit much/over the top but I still smiled a lot. I loved that she had a passion and talent for something kind of different than anything I’ve read. Faith’s career as a landscape designer really took off and felt real. The family winery business and all of the related parts of the town were great. Highlights: Again, my favorite type of romance! I’m a huge fan of the small town setting in general and this one seems like a nice place to explore. She wore him down and he ended up being so sweet. They balanced each other out and really felt strongly for each other. Levi was so grouchy because Faith was always chipper and positive. I looooved the banter and major hate-to-love feels. Romance: This was truly the slowest burn romance I’ve ever read. I liked watching her realize she needed to be home and get over her ex. She dealt with a lot of guilt over her mother’s death and struggled to move on years later. Heroine: Faith was a really good character! She got herself into some funny situations and tried really hard to please everyone. She returns home to find that the “best man,” Levi, is now the town sheriff and just as difficult as he was when they were teens.

Quick summary: When Faith is ditched at the alter because her fiancee is gay, she moves to San Francisco to break away and start over. If she can find a minute amidst all her family drama to stop and smell the rosé, she just might find a reason to stay at Blue Heron, and finish that walk down the aisle. The only catch is she’s having a hard time forgetting that he helped ruin her wedding all those years ago. There’s a lot about Levi that Faith never noticed, and it’s not just those deep green eyes. Like Levi Cooper, the local police chief - and best friend of her former fiancé.

After all, there’s some great scenery there. Now a little older and wiser, she’s ready to return to the Blue Heron Winery, her family’s vineyard, to confront the ghosts of her past, and maybe enjoy a glass of red. Sometimes The Best Man Is The One You Least Expect.įaith Holland left her hometown after being jilted at the altar. Published by Harlequin on February 26th 2013

This was also another audio binge with the narrator Amy Rubinate. Many of the stories also star those family members and their love stories. The main characters are all generally surrounding the family that owns the Blue Heron Vineyard. This series I took my time with a little more (just because my podcast addiction is still going strong), but it was a worthy series binge! This time, the books are set in Manningsport, New York. I adored the Black Dog Bay series and listened to all of them, one after another. I’m clearly a sucker for companion series set in small towns with unique characters and charm.
