~Will Jason’s third time as a best man lead to first-time love for Vanya?
After fleeing violence in Moscow, student teacher Vanya Petrov winds up lonely in a run-down London hostel. At least visiting the Bond Street store where his roommate works lets him practice his English, but as Vanya's vocabulary expands, so does his isolation, especially when he sees happy couples planning their perfect weddings.
According to Jason Balfour, weddings are a waste of time and money. After all, he’s been best man for his brother twice already. Saying that a third marriage will end in divorce too leads to an angry ultimatum: to save his relationship with his brother, Jason must meet his fiancée, at last, and make a good first impression.
Jason’s need to dress to impress brings him and Vanya together. Language is no barrier to falling in love with the young and fragile Russian, and neither is their age difference. But Vanya’s bruised soul carries secrets that could rip them apart. As the wedding draws near, Vanya must confess, and soon, or risk losing Jason—his own best man in Britain.
Running from abusive trauma that happen in his country, Vanya must leave Moscow and become an immigrant in Britain.
Along with his friend Kaspar, and Kaspar's girlfriend Anna, they planned to keep survive in this foreign country together.
The bond between these three strangers are stronger than blood is one thing that will warmed your heart.
Vanya has no plans for the future, what he do is to pass each day and keep survive until he can live legally in this country.
The accidentally meet with Jason then changed his view and life.
Jason came to a dress store and mistaken Vanya as one of the employee there when Vanya was just there to help his friend, Kaspar.
In desperate need to change his way of dressing to mended his almost 'ruined' relationship with his foster brother and want to impressed his soon-to-be-wife, Chantel, Jason need someone to help him fix his dressing style. He then mistook Vanya as a fashion advisers and want Vanya to be his 'personal shopper'.
Things then getting more hard when both Jason and Vanya start to grow more feeling during their intense meeting.
Vanya then torn between telling Jason all the truths about his conditions and status from the start or keep all the lies until after the wedding and then leave....
Will Jason still want him after he know about all the truth?
Vanya just hoped that their first met didn't start with a lie.....
***
I fall in love instantly with the cover when I first saw it, and I intrigued even more when I read the blurb.
The slow pace went perfectly with the slow-burn romance that blooms between Jason and Vanya. One thing I didn't like is Jason's judgmental behavior both to his brother fiancee, Chantel and to Vanya.
Being hurt by someone from his past doesn't give you the right to judge someone else that way. I must admit, that there's a time I want to slapped Jason face to the nearest wall.
But even what Jason did stir the emotional part in me, the things that happened at nearly end of the book had succeed bringing the tears to my eyes.
Be My Best Man is another story that will warm your heart.
RECOMMENDED!
