I enjoyed Lilly and Sally’s love story in The Best Man Problem by Mariah Ankenman, book two in the Mile High Happiness series. Wedding planner Lilly Walsh likes to play it safe and avoid getting too involved. That’s because the last time she hooked up with someone in a wedding party she almost lost her wedding planning business. So no worries when she meets a handsome strange in a hotel bar. Bad pirate jokes lead to the best night of her life, but come morning, she escapes before he wakes because she has a wedding to plan. Lincoln Reid never expected to see the woman who rocked his world the night before, but there she is, planning his best friend’s wedding, with the same passion that brought him to his knees. But, Lilly has a rule that the wedding planner and the best man can never date. With only four weeks until the wedding, Lincoln pulls out all the stops to make her see him as more than just a one-night guy. Somehow, these two keep running into each other, interacting and hanging with the almost-bride and groom. Waiting until the wedding is over builds the anticipation for when they can spend another night together, and another, and . . . These two opposites complement the other and fit like a hand and a glove. They have off the chart electricity and a magnetism that keeps drawing them together.
Ms. Ankenman wrote a fun, and sexy romance that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sexual chemistry, humor, and endearing characters giving Lilly and Lincoln a chance at love, and forever together. I highly recommend The Best Man Problem to other readers.

The Best Man Problems by Mariah Ankenman a five-star read that isn’t a problem. This is number two in the Mile High Happiness series and they can be read as stand-alone. Lilly Walsh was a character I wanted to alternately pat on the back for being a superhero and gather into a massive hug and tell her that there were people in the world who cared about her and loved her and showed her that you don’t have to be afraid of love, even when no one has shown you how. This was such a funny story, even if it did have the worst jokes, some of them were so bad they were actually funny. Who knew a pirate joke could change a life. This is a great story filled with compelling characters that you need in your life.
