Jules hopes that this is a new beginning for both of them, as they become less dependent on each other, and as Jules re- thinks her future plans. What she didn't bet on was the best man, Stefano, the groom's handsome, brooding brother. Stefano cannot understand why his brother Dante, is rushing into marriage. Lizzie is lovely, but Stefano knows first hand that marriage just doesn't work in their family - just look at what happened to him and their father. Being roped in to help with the wedding, Stefano never expected to be attracted and fascinated by the unusual maid of honour. But the more time he spends with Jules the more enamoured he becomes. As he grapples with his own tragic past, Stefano pushes Jules away and hurts her in the process. As the wedding day approaches will Stefano realise that he has a second chance at life with Jules? And will Jules be able to overcome her traumatic childhood, and allow herself to fall in love?

BEST MAN FOR THE BRIDESMAID by Jennifer Faye is a wonderfully entertaining, contemporary romance and I happily devoured every page. Jules and Stefano are both damaged souls, who are allowing their tragic pasts dictate their present and their future. As they try to ignore their new feelings for each other, it is fascinating to watch their inner struggles. The author's description of Rome and the vineyard, effortlessly transported me there, and I could almost smell the city and the country. I highly recommend BEST MAN FOR THE BRIDESMAID by Jennifer Faye, and I am so glad to have discovered this author.
