The Best Man

Unfinished Business

De: Malcolm D. Lee, Jayne Allen - contributor

Narrado por: January LaVoy, Jakobi Diem, Zenzi Williams

The beloved characters from The Best Man movies and hit television series reunite for a sexy and soulful, heartbreaking and hilarious reckoning of love.

Recently divorced and fresh off a Pulitzer Prize win, Harper Stewart is in a new era. He’s working on a movie and living the ultimate bachelor life in his Brooklyn penthouse. But still, something is missing. What else explains the stubborn creative block? The carousel of women? And seventh-wheel status with his friends?

Jordan Armstrong had to flee New York. First, to give herself distance from Harper and, second, to escape the corporate grind. In her beachfront Malibu property, the façade of a “healed” Jordan flourishes. Yet she finds herself unmoored. Despite the physical distance, she still feels Harper’s magnetic pull.

Meanwhile, in Ghana, Robyn has gone full bohemian restaurateur. She has finally found peace and won’t let another man ruin it—that is, until a handsome local entrepreneur commands her attention. But it’s all too much change for her daughter, Mia, and when she secretly calls Harper with an emergency Robyn would rather hide, their world is shaken and relationships are tested once more.

Book one of The Best Man trilogy follows Harper, Jordan, and Robyn as they try to establish lives away from the hurts of the past and come to realize that some love is impossible to break. With support from their close-knit crew of chosen family—Quentin, Shelby, Lance, Murch, and Candace—they fight for a future that proves one’s second act can be the extended chapter worth it all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An absolute treat . . . soulful, sexy, fast-paced! What a delight, catching up with beloved fan favorites Harper, Jordan, Robyn (and a dazzling supporting cast) as they navigate relationships and their careers all around the world—only to discover that some bonds can never be broken. Unfinished Business is an utterly propulsive, stylish read with so much heart.”—Tia Williams, bestselling author of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde

“This felt like catching up with a group of beloved friends I hadn’t heard from in a while. The complicated relationships, angsty passion, and doses of humor I’ve come to expect from The Best Man franchise . . . it’s all here! Such a treat! This new story is just as cinematic as the movies themselves, maybe even more so.”—Farrah Rochon, New York Times bestselling author of Pardon My Frenchie

“When you’re as close to the characters as I have been, you think you can predict what’s coming around the corner, but this kept even me on the edge of my seat. The Best Man: Unfinished Business dives deeper into the lives of these characters revealing what has made them who they are, the good and the bad. From a second chance romance to wrestling with heartbreak and purpose, Malcolm and Jayne have given the best men and women new life. Emotionally engrossing. Seductive. Impossible to put down. It’s the perfect summer read, full of heat!”—Taye Diggs

Sooo GOOD!!

I love this!!! The narration of this was amazing. I could feel each character. I could visualize the characters from the movies. I hated that it had to end.

Ohhh my gawwwwwd!

I see what Malcolm and Jayne are doing here and I like it. Just give it all to us by any medium necessary. Big screen, small screen, now book form. I’m here for it all. This continuation of the drama amongst this friend group did not disappoint. Harper still Harpered. Robyn still Robined and Jordan Jordaned. This book was a rollercoaster that I couldn’t stop listening to. I was left with my jaw dropped to the very last word. Can’t wait for the next installment.

An awesome continuation of their story

This was a great pivot to be able to continue this group of friends stories and to help shed more light on their personalities. I will say it was a slooow start but once it picked up...it was on!

inside of a roller coaster

wow. getting the full inside story of jordyn Harper and Robyn was something serious. I would definitely call this an entanglement!! but dang I want to know who baby it is!?! book 2 yes?

narrative voices or the characters

Loved it. I am waiting for the next book to come out. The story did not end left me wanting more.

Exceeded my expectations!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It kept me engaged from the beginning. Can't wait for the next one!

This was sooooo good! Just like the movies and series before it, this book held my attention and kept me captivated. I love a good cliff hanger and chillllldddd where is the next book?

The crew is back, and I’ve got thoughts. Let’s talk The Best Man: Unfinished Business 🎧✨

“Some love is impossible to break.”

I have anxiously awaited the release of this one on Audible and it did not disappoint. I felt like I was welcoming old friends back that I had not seen in a while.

This installment focuses on Harper, Jordan, and Robyn. The other characters make cameos but the focus is definitely on Harper coming to accept who he is. Jordan standing flat footed for what she wants and Robyn getting adjusted to life in Ghana.

Harper’s indecisive, back and forth, I don’t know what to do next behavior absolutely got on my nerves!! But it was a necessary part of his journey.

Now Malcolm Lee needs to be shook real hard for that cliffhanger!!

When is the next one coming out?

In love with this book!

I’ve followed Malcolm Lee & the characters portrayed in the Best Man films, miniseries, and now this book since I was in my 20’s. I know these characters well. I am now in my 40’s and I have grown up with these characters over many years. I came across an interview and immediately preordered this book! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book! The textured layered storylines kept my interest. While some portions of the character’s journeys were predictable, other storylines left me in awe and suspense. The brilliant depiction narrated by three artist who each uniquely captured the essence of these characters through inflection, tone, and intentionality. Each illustrated their depth of understanding of the complex characters as well as their commitment to the reader. The cliffhanger ending to this book has me looking forward to the next installment! Great job Malcolm!
