Shania’s Stubborn Independence Nearly Cripples Her, But Sean’s Patient Ways Allow Her The Breathing Room She Needs.
This is book three of the Lover Boys series. Lover Boys was an eighties-era throwback rock band that disbanded a decade ago. Noah, Will, Sean, and Theo chose to quit while on the top and still the best of friends. They have each reinvented themselves in a new career path. Dream Lover, book one, is Pepper and Noah’s story. Book two, Unexpected Lover, is Will and Sam’s story. In Surprise Best Man, Sean and Shania’s story is told. It reads perfectly as a stand-alone.
Sean Maddox, a.k.a. DJ Mad-Ox, is a mellow, go-with-the-flow guy that is not easily frazzled. When faced with something daunting, he tends to procrastinate and get lost in his head. The former bassist for Lover Boys turned to DJ’ing after the band’s breakup a decade ago. Arriving home in LA from a grueling three month international tour, he is ready to take it easy. The heavy partying is getting old.
In all his years of one nighters, there has only ever been one woman that stuck in Sean’s memory. He has thought of her from time, wondered what she was doing. The shock of seeing her again recently hasn’t changed that. She is even more beautiful than she had been in college. The upcoming wedding of his buddies means that he will continue to see her around. They hadn’t really spoken yet. They had an unspoken agreement to avoid one another and he had no plans to break it.
Shania Simms, thirty-three, took a few years to figure out what she wanted to do after graduating pre-med from UCLA. Several years ago she became a massage therapist at Circus Maximus, a day spa catering to the rich and famous, and quickly knew she had found a career that made her happy. Her dream is to open her own day spa that caters to everyday women, making therapeutic services more accessible to a larger segment of the population. But with the cost of living outpacing her pay increases, Shania’s nest egg is dwindling and her dream is drifting out of reach.
Watching her friends’ happiness and success doesn’t make her jealous – she is incredibly happy for them – but it does remind her that she has nothing to show for herself. If things keep up she might even need to consider roommates. What makes things even more confusing is the fact that the man who took her innocence in college and never spoke to her again happens to be in the same friend group that two of her best friends are marrying into. It will be impossible to avoid him altogether.
When Noah, Pepper, Will, and Sam decide to have a double wedding and ask for Sean and Shania to be the best man and maid of honor, they both know they have to get over the past and work together to make their friends’ day perfect. The problem is that once they start talking, their insane chemistry returns in full force, and neither wants to risk any personal issues interfering with their friends’ happy day.
Sean and Shania’s touching story is a nice addition to the series. Sean’s laid-back attitude is put to the test. He is forced to face his fears when he contronts his own feelings. Shania’s reluctance to stand up for herself makes her vulnerable. Her stubborn independence nearly cripples her, but Sean’s patient ways allow her the breathing room she needs to think things through. The couple earns a lovely HEA.
There are some issues that may bother some readers. First, even though the timeline is mostly vague, it still doesn’t appear to quite add up. It is seemingly inconsistent with the last book in the series as well. *Spoilers* Additionally, it felt as if Sean did not fully appreciate his interference with Shania’s job, even in spite of his excellent intentions.
This story is nicely-written; my review copy has only a occasional error – and the final copy will likely be cleaned up. The plot is fairly simple. The characters are well-developed. They feel like real people. The POV alternates between Sean and Shania. I rate this book four stars.

I thought this book was a great read! Shania and Sean were the perfect characters. Light and fun, this story worked around a small group of friends, mostly rich and famous, and their weddings bringing them all back together. Shania and Sean met again after a 10-year, one night stand. The heat was right there and we got to share their ride of light hearted banter, steamy sex, and the truth that they couldn’t hold this secret with all their friends of what’s happening! Love!
A second chance after a one night stand after ten years. Sean and Shanna had a one night stand in college and he left college the next day with the guys in his band and became famous. She was angry that he just up and left and not said anything over the years. Now ten years later she’s working at a masseuse at a spa and she sees the man on her table is Sean! His band broke up and now he’s a famous DJ and just back from touring in Asia. He’s getting a massage and realizes it’s Sean and he jumps up and runs out. She’s shocked to see him and runs too. Her boss changes her life from them on. She runs into Sean and they have to plan weddings for four of their best friends to each other but she’s also got to find a way to make a living as she’s being blackballed by her old boss. Will the attraction they are fighting lead to them being together again?

A good second-chance book about Sean and Shania. The two meet again after ten years removed from the one night they had shared together where neither one had really forgotten the other during that time apart. The chemistry still sparks white-hot between them but now they need to decide if that is all there is or could this be something that will last?
Well-written and keeps the reader interested throughout the book.

Another great fun read by this very talented author her books always flow well are usually part of a series with common characters but each reads as a stand alone This is Sean and Shania’s story

Sean has just returned from an overseas assignment as a DJ something he took up after leaving his very popular band he can barely move his arms and shoulders so heads to a roman themed massage parlour to get the full works Only problem is that Shania is the masseuse sent to work on him and he flees causing problems with her boss.

Ten years later, they meet and have to spend two weeks together in order to plan a wedding where Shania is the maid of honor and Sean is the best man. They have to figure out how to get along and Shania tries to keep her heart from getting broken again. Ms. Wright has created a room/com where the characters are relatable. You also go through a variety of emotions while reading the book.

I just adore the stories of the Lover Boys. Now that we have seen Noah and Will paired up with Pepper and Sam, it was time to see Shania and Sean paired up.
The slow awkward heat that built up between them was mesmerizing. The way they first dealt with it was comical and then combustible.
The way Sean pulls Shania out of her shell and encourages her to pursue her dreams is touching.
This is a must read in the series. Could not put it down!!!

Story with Shania and Sean who knew each other in college I fact she gave her virginity to him but never heard from him again until their mutual friends get married. Loved the way they tried to stay as far away from each other but was drawn to each other. There is much more going on in this story and I really enjoyed every page.

Sean and Shania are thrown together at times due to their friends being in relationships. They are also keeping it a secret that they have a history from college. This gets harder as their attraction keeps roaring to the surface. Intense affair (especially while they try to hide it) and rough times ahead!
Sean and Shania have a past history somewhat and it will become an awkward imposition when they find out about an upcoming wedding. When Shania took the job as a massage therapist, she never expected to come across the one man that devastated her in college. Now the two will have to work together to make it through the wedding process. Will they make it? This story will draw you into it right from the start and have you cheering this couple on to finish line!

Surprise Best Man is a very fun and enjoyable love story. It’s about Sean, a DJ, and Shania, a masseuse who had history in college. They pretty much ignored each other when they met in LA years later, but suddenly they were thrust into togetherness as best man and maid of honor at a double wedding of their friends. Quirky and a fun read, this was enjoyable because it isn’t the usual plot line. Well written and a delightful story. Recommend this one for sure.
