The Best Laid Plans by Karla Sorensen

5.0

It's been a REALLY long time since I last had to put together a Power Point presentation, but I'd be more than willing to dust off those skills in order to properly explain just how much I adored reading Karla Sorensen's The Best Laid Plans. This book had a slow-burn romance with healthy doses of wit and humor and some much appreciated angst. (What can I say, I'm an angst addict at heart.) There was well-thought-out and clear development, both for the main characters and for their story, with a great deal of emotional growth, especially from Burke. Knowing Burke's and Charlotte's back stories highlighted why there was some caution and trepidation in terms of involving themselves in a romantic relationship, choosing instead to engage in a fling with a pre-acknowledged end. I loved seeing these two fall in love, and they certainly had some noteworthy support from those nearest and dearest to them, with special mention going to Charlotte's godmother, Daphne, and Daphne's non-boyfriend, Richard, and Tansy, Burke's sister. Speaking of Tansy, dare I hope for her to get her own happily-ever-after, maybe with a certain builder named William? And I'm definitely eager to see what awaits Liam and his co-guardian. While waiting to see what's next in the Best Men series, I'm happily handing the first best man and the woman who made him even better five stars.
