Rusty Best never expected The One to be his total opposite: an older, inexperienced, shy geek with two left feet. Swoon.
Rusty:
I’ve taught plenty of wedding parties to dance in my brothers’ family business, but this father of the bride stopped me in my tracks. He wants my help getting better at being gay, so he doesn’t embarrass his daughter. How can I say no?
From the moment I put my hands on him, our friendship is raring to turn into more. But can I get those shy eyes to see how I feel about him in time for the big night?
Tom:
I want everything to go perfectly for my daughter this week, even if she is marrying the jerk of a Walker kid. After all, I spent two decades raising her before her mother and I split up. She and my ex-wife keep telling me to start my new life, but I felt like I missed my chance to fit into the gay world. Until I take one look at the dance instructor and find myself wanting to move in ways I’ve never tried before.
But I’m the wrong side of 40 for the outgoing, touchy-feely, redheaded man who sweeps me off my feet. How can I ever keep up with him—while keeping my eye on the jerk my daughter’s about to marry?
The Best Men, Inc. trilogy (Best Laid Plans, Best Foot Forward, and Best Served Hot) are low-angst, high-shenanigans stories about the craziest wedding of the summer! No cheating or love triangles, and everyone who deserves a happy ending will get one. Each book follows a different brother so they can all stand alone, or be read in any order.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
From the start, Best Foot Forward screams fun! The second book in Zoe Dawn's Best Men Inc series, it is fabulous. It is easily read as a standalone, but it's even more delightful if you've read Best Laid Plans first. Although, from the author's notes, there will be a third book and they can all be read in any order. Basically - just read them all. You won't regret it.
I love this book. The tone, the characters, the flirting. Everything about it is fantastic. There's dancing, wedding prep, and an intriguing age gap. Tom and Rusty are complete opposites, not only in different stages in their lives, but also with their experience, interests and attitude.
I adore that Rusty immediately feels like taking the older Tom under his wing. He feels protective and jealous, creating an exciting start to their sweet relationship. These two men ooze sexiness and want. And there are first times that are awesome.
As for the wedding, once again, I love it all. It's entertaining, despite being on the super crazy side. I adore the fact that the two books both discuss the same wedding, but from different points of view.
The writing style is exactly my taste. Written in alternating first person pov, the characters fully come to life and worm their way into the reader's heart. And of course there are plenty of secondary characters to enjoy, as they fall in love, and fall into the craziness around them.
Best Foot Forward is an absolute re-read for me. This Zoe Dawn book made me smile, laugh, and swoon. It's sweet and will leave you satisfied throughout. I can't wait for the next book in this Best Men Inc series.
