Dill Best has a wedding to plan, a family business to save, and no time for straight guys with hard muscles and soft kisses.

Dill:
I’m fed up with the Walker family. It seems like everyone has their own agenda for this high-budget wedding that’s supposed to catapult our family business to the next level. And then I find out my one-night fling was the best man, Griff Walker. The groom’s brother. Who’s not out. And we’re stuck together with his simmering gaze and wandering hands… all week long.

The Best family’s first rule? Don’t get involved with the wedding party. But I can’t keep my eyes—or hands—off him.

Griff:
I hate being back in town. I ran to Arizona to get away from these small-minded, big-spending bigots. I only came back for the bride’s sake; my sister-in-law is the closest to real family I’ve got. I want to protect sassy little Dill from the rest of my family… and cherish him… and maybe even love him. Oh, crap.

I’m supposed to be leaving in a week. Now that I’ve found something with Dill that feels real, I want to stay. But my family has other plans… and the truth might just shatter this fairytale wedding.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Zoe Dawn's Best Laid Plans, the first book in the Best Men Inc series, is a beautiful read. Overall, this is a story of a whirlwind, one week romance. Griff and Dill are seriously hot together, with amazing chemistry.

The instant attraction between Griff and a stranger leads to a one night stand. But the fun starts when Griff discovers his one night stand is actually his brother's wedding planner.  What follows is  crazy and off the rails, and I love it all!

I love these men and their complex lives. Griff's family sucks; he struggles with all of them, as they are pretentious and consider him inferior. There is no way he can ever come out to them. But Dill provides a breathe of fresh air into Griff's life. 

Griff and Dill have a strong connection, sizzling chemistry, and become partners in crime against Griff's crazy family. Their relationship includes plenty of sneaking around, some hot masturbation, and a major conflict of interest. 

This is a family wedding, with a whole slew of family issues. As Griff and Dill are attracted to one another, there are plenty of obstacles and complications in their way. Included in this story are some suspicious characters, as well as twists and turns to keep one on their toes. 

For Dill it all comes down to the fact that his family's business needs this wedding to happen. But Dill knows he should stop the wedding. It's a great idea for a story and the author carries it out perfectly.

The writing is super, with a great flow, and interesting characters. Told in alternating 1st person pov, the characters are fully brought to life, with the emotions front and center. 

Best Laid Plans is a sweet, tender, and crazy romance that had me riveted throughout. Zoe Dawn will left me delighted with story of two men who open each other to a new kind of life, all with love.
