Publisher's summary

Faith Holland left her hometown after being jilted at the altar. Now a little older and wiser, she's ready to return to the Blue Heron Winery, her family's vineyard, to confront the ghosts of her past, and maybe enjoy a glass of red. After all, there's some great scenery there....

Like Levi Cooper, the local police chief - and best friend of her former fiancé. There's a lot about Levi that Faith never noticed, and it's not just those deep green eyes. The only catch is she's having a hard time forgetting that he helped ruin her wedding all those years ago. If she can find a minute amidst all her family drama to stop and smell the rosé, she just might find a reason to stay at Blue Heron, and finish that walk down the aisle.

Critic reviews

Can’t help smiling like crazy

Definitely worth the listen. Not too cheesy or cliche. Very well written with depth that keeps your interest.

My new favorite romance author!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Best Man to be better than the print version?

Not better perhaps but on a par with the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Pru and her sexting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes definitely.

Any additional comments?

Why are there only three of Kristan's books for sale on audible???!!!

Simple Is Better

Any additional comments?

The basic plot of the story was great.... Young woman left at the alter because her fiancé was gay then falls in love with his best friend. But adding in the epilepsy and the crash that killed her mom went too far. Sometimes a more simple story is better.

A nice storyline . I especially enjoyed The dog.

I liked the occasional flows of dialogue that weren't interrupted with who said what. You knew who was speaking and it moves The story along.

Good beginning to a series

Any additional comments?

This is the first book in a series and is a good beginning. Faith was jilted at the altar by her amazing boyfriend. The jilting came about with pressure from the Best Man! Faith was devastated since she had loved her fiancé for years and they were perfect together. Her fiancé and the best man were long time best friends, They were from different sides of the railroad tract (the best man was from the bad side). Faith left town and stayed away for years. She eventually returns to town and is confronted with both her former fiancé and the best man. It is very difficult for her to deal with either of them but she must do so since it is such a small town. This book takes you trough the heartbreak and ends with Faith knowing how to deal with the two men. Really a good book!

Feel good light read.

If you could sum up The Best Man in three words, what would they be?

Feel good romance

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This was a cute read. Yes it made me both laugh and cry at times.

Any additional comments?

This was a nice light read. Loved the family dynamics and how the dog played such a leading role.
