The Worst Best Man Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 33,265 ratings

"Newsflash. You don't buy me, a$#%^*e. You earn me."


The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They're the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double Check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the Best Man? More like the Worst Man.

But Maid of Honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She's got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a Best Man with a big attitude and an even bigger...checkbook? Yeah, there's no way she's going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend's wedding. No matter how sexy he is. (Well, that's the plan anyway...)

Aiden Kilbourn doesn't do long-term relationships. He's busy ruling the business world, and has yet to find a woman he can tolerate for longer than a month, two at the outside, anyway. Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter. And he hasn't met a challenge that he can't win. But Franchesca Baranski? This smart-mouthed girl from Brooklyn may just be his downfall.

5 out of 5 stars
Amazing!
Oh my gawd this book was so freaking good! I laughed out loud throughout and completely fell head over heels with Frankie and Aiden.Here’s what I loved:The characters are amazing. Franchesca Baranski is my newest girl crush! Aiden is unbelievably perfect. He’s the type of character that you don’t forget. Absolute perfection! The way he cared for Frankie despite not wanting anything serious was everything my romance loving heart wanted. It is swoon city!Aiden and Frankie’s chemistry is off the charts hot! The steamy scenes are hot enough to melt your kindle. I seriously did not expect the level of hotness that unfolded on the pages.I laughed out loud the entire time I read this book. The rescue scene was particularly hilarious! Frankie’s family dynamic and the shenanigans the couple experienced were so much fun! Frankie’s mom was a particular favorite!The writing is impeccable, smart, and socially conscientious.**Audiobook review - excellent narration, great timing. Absolutely worth a credit.Overall, I was not only entertained by THE WORST BEST MAN, I was IMPRESSED! I highly recommend this book and author!

    You know that feeling on Christmas Eve? That anticipation you feel as you lay your head down on your pillow thinking of the awesomeness that awaits you in the morning? That’s me waiting for new Lucy Score books. I have never made a secret of my love for Lucy Score’s work, but this book was even better than what I hoped for. This book is everything. It is rom-com perfection while also being deeply emotional. It is hilarious, sweet, and sassy all tied up in a bow and topped off with the perfect happy ending. I seriously went through all the feels while reading this.

    In the beginning, I was laughing so hard I was crying. I mean, this book is so funny! And the characters! There were characters I absolutely loved to hate and characters that found themselves in the most outrageous situations, but I could picture it all as if I was there, and I loved every minute of it. There were also characters I loved to love. Not only did I adore both Aiden and Frankie, I loved Aiden’s mom and Frankie’s entire family. Her mom was a riot, and her brothers were not only perfect, protective older brothers, they were also great friends to both Frankie and Aiden. I also loved Pru and Chip. They all had me on the edge of my seat swooning and waiting to see what would happen. Never before have I read a book that was both this funny and this deeply romantic with the perfect amount of angst and tension.

    Frankie and Aiden were completely perfect. In the beginning, it seemed as though Frankie was all fire while Aiden was ice, but there were so many layers to both of them! Frankie is such a strong heroine. She was driven and determined to a fault. She was smart and sassy. And while Aiden was a kijillionaire playboy, there were layers upon layers to peel back on him throughout this story. He was also vulnerable and kind and caring. And the chemistry between these two was off the charts!! They had the most fantastic banter and couldn’t keep their hands off one another. While they tried to fight the attraction, there was no way to ignore it. While they seem like an impossible match at first glance, they are really two puzzle pieces that were made for one another.

    I love that while this book begins with a destination wedding gone awry, things don’t end there. We get to follow our characters home and see what things are like in their real lives as well. This is not your cookie cutter billionaire romance. Boy doesn’t just meet girl, sweep her off her feet, and live happily ever after. There were so many twists and turns and layers of emotion in this book that I didn’t want to put it down for even a minute. And just when I thought I knew what was coming, there would be a little surprise waiting for me.

    I am “all in” when it comes to Aiden and Frankie. Buy this book. Buy a copy for all your friends while you are at it. You won’t regret it. I absolutely adore everything about The Worst Best Man!

    I was looking for a read that would make me laugh and I knew a Lucy Score book would hit the spot. The Worst Best Man was just what I needed. This was such a hilarious and sexy enemies to lovers slow burn romcom. It had me laughing out loud throughout. I both read and listened to this one and it almost felt like 2 stories in one. The first half was filled with wedding hijinks and certain details gave me lots of Pride and Prejudice vibes. The second half focused more on the progression of Aiden and Frankie's relationship and reminded me a lot of Pretty Woman. I loved how Frankie always held her own and how she pushed against Aiden's white knight complex, choosing to be Aiden's partner and equal instead. Frankie's family was absolutely over the top and a highlight any time they were on the page.

    I will admit that I was intimidated by the length of this book (the audio clocks in at almost 12 hours!). I thought the story meandered at times making it feel overly long. The family issues and drama caused by Elliot's reveal at the end were predictable, but didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book. Natalie Duke's narration was fantastic! She pulled off Frankie's snark and Aiden's swagger so well. I especially loved the voices she used for the Baranski family. Her comedic timing made the barbs sing and I enjoyed her performance so much. The epilogue brought the story beautifully full circle and was the perfect way to bring things to a close.

    *Note: The ebook has a link to an extended epilogue (it takes place a year later) and I definitely recommend it.

    This is the first Lucy Score book I’ve read and I loved it! I laughed out loud like ten times. Not like a chuckle but a full on belly laugh/snort. Her characters are awesome!! This had everything I love in a great RomCom.
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
    I really wanted to love this and judging by how quickly I read it, I did like it.
    Was it filled with humorous lines that I’ve attributed as being solidly an expected Score trait? Yes! A relationship that starts with the guy solidly hating on our heroine? Yes! Solid ride or die female friend who believes in all things romance? Double yes (we can argue that Gio and Marco serve as that other BFF).
    So what exactly is the problem?
    Besides the preposterousness of it all? A kidnapping featuring trust fund heirs and socialites wouldn’t have gone unnoticed or unreported. These people were in their 30s I kinda expected more. That catering job pays less than minimum wage with the expectation of tips. Frankie would’ve been working a whole lot more to be able to afford the things she claimed she was paying out of pocket for. I can’t get behind the introduction of characters and then not even mentioning them again until it’s convenient again. Also, if Frankie was due to graduate in May, her thesis would’ve been turned in several times over by the end of March of her final year. She wouldn’t have abandoned the idea and start anew from scratch. Brooklyn is south/downtown of Manhattan, to go from BK to manhattan is going up.
    Am I being overly harsh? Possibly. But all in all this book wasn’t quite unique or endearing enough (honestly other than Frankie’s brothers did we care about any of the supporting cast?) for me to think this was a great piece of romance fiction.
