This book was kind of infuriating. Nobody confronted Erin about how much of a user she was except her sister, and it was just the once! Jason deserved better.mindfullibrarian's review against another edition

(free review copy) I adore wedding planner books, I adore Jaci Burton and then DOGS?!? I was all in, head over heels ❤️ This is a major win series for me and I absolutely can’t wait til the next one! If you have read the Play by Play series, know that the heat is WAY lower in this one

This was a good, steamy read- a great distraction book.
Erin’s fiancé breaks up with her in an email just days before her wedding. Jason, who’s loved her in silence for years, is ready to give her everything.
There’s puppies, there’s heat, there’s drama. I did see the “twist” coming from a mile away, but I wasn’t fussy about it. This is a smooth, easy read and you won’t be sorry.

This is the first book in this series for Jaci Burton and it was a great read so I am looking forward to the other books in the series. It was the type of romance where you keep on reading because you know who is going to get together in the book and you just want to read about it happening. There were many times when I wanted to give the main characters a push so they would just get together however it was much more fun to read the whole story! I liked the twist with the ex fiance, however there were many hints throughout the book so the twist did not come as a huge surprise. It is a great HEA book and an awesome beach read!!!

I really liked The Best Man Plan! It was a cute story and I’m always a sucker for a romance.
In The Best Man Plan, Erin is planning to marry her fiancé Owen. Then, just a few days before their wedding, he breaks up with her over an email. She is devastated and understandably furious about it. So, she decides to get revenge by sleeping with Owen’s best friend Jason. However, she is surprised and confused when she finds herself falling in love with Jason. She is unsure of how to navigate the new relationship she finds herself in but knows that before she can truly commit to anything long term, she needs to get closure with Owen. That’s easier said than done when Erin finds out the real reason Owen broke up with her. He is sick and getting treatment and she is devastated all over again. Feeling a misplaced sense of guilt, Erin begins spending more time with Owen and putting her relationship with Jason on the backburner. So, she has to decide what and who it is is she truly wants.
Overall, I liked this book and loved Jason and Owen because we stan emotionally mature male love interests

The Best Man Plan is a fun romance about a girl left at the alter. Erin is furious, and sets out for revenge with the Best Man and her longtime friend, Jason. But is it just revenge, or is there more between the two?
I really enjoyed this book, for the most part. I loved the build up of the relationship between Erin and Jason, not quite a slow-burn, but still a bit of tension at first. And there was plenty of witty banter and fun times. However, I didn't really buy the reason her fiancé broke off the wedding just days before it was set to happen. This part felt a little too forced for me, and it also felt a bit rushed by the time we got there.
I would still recommend the book to romcom lovers, as not everyone will feel the same about the ending. And it definitely didn't ruin the book for me, just lowered the star rating to a 3.5 (which is rounded up to 4 for the full star review sites, as I did really enjoy the book overall).

It's been a hot moment since I've read a contemporary romance with so much fun and light angst overall.
I enjoyed it quite a lot, the family dynamics, the friends to lovers plot, great banter and steamy scenes, everything was well mixed for a great few hours of reading in a Saturday afternoon.
It actually felt like seeing a Hallmark movie with a happily ever after.
I'm looking foreword to the next books in the series because the secondary characters have done a great impression on me in this book.
Very grateful to the publisher and NetGalley for my review copy.

A fun, saucy read. I found this an easy read, although the ending seemed to run a bit flat for me. I really enjoyed it until Owen came back, just didn't flow as well for me. But a nice easy, quick read.

When I read the blurb for The Best Man Plan by Jaci Burton it sounded exactly like the book I'd enjoy. Fiancé breaks up a few days before wedding, heartbroken and angry heroine decides to have a whirlwind rebound romance with the guy supposed to be best man at her wedding - oh yes, that's a fun premise! I love a good romance and am not even bothered by cliches and those typical tropes used in a lot of romantic fiction, as long as it is well executed. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for The Best Man Plan.
The writing felt disjointed with repetitive dialogues and a choppy pacing. The chemistry was seriously lacking between the two main characters, Erin and Jason. Frankly, nor did I buy the romance between these two, nor was I satisfied by how Owen's (the ex-fiancé) breakup and the reason behind it was handled, particularly the aftermath and Erin's behavior after she found out about it.
And finally, I know I read an uncorrected proof, and damn I hope this gets fixed in the final copy, but damn was I irritated by the damn number of times the word "damn" was used in the first half of this book! I don't DNF but this itself would have been reason enough to stop reading before the book even reached the halfway mark.
Sadly, will not recommend nor would be continuing with the series.
