Blurb: How can heartbreak turn into happily ever after?
Tommy Gordon is all set for happily ever after—until heartbreak strikes when his husband-to-be leaves him at the altar. In a bid for distraction, his best friend, Grayson Phillips, suggests he takes advantage of the luxury honeymoon anyway! But the last thing Tommy wants is to go alone, so he invites Grayson and his son, Petey, along.
Beautiful Bonaire lends itself to romance, and along with close quarters, relaxing on the water, and a matchmaking kid, Tommy and Grayson soon find themselves closer than ever… and considering more, much to Grayson’s delight. But before they can plan the best best honeymoon ever, dark clouds descend in the form of Tommy’s ex and a sting from paradise that could ruin everything.

Review: Andrew Grey is one of my all-time favorite authors and while The Best Worst Honeymoon Ever is not up there with my favorite books, it is a fun book. For me Andrew Grey + Romance + Cute Kid = Awesome book. And what’s more, for me, I love the fact that the kid in this story is nuts about Star Wars – clearly, I’m easy to please at times.
Everything you need to know is in the blurb so I’ll try not to be too repetitive or let go any spoilers. The story is quite simple really, but as I previously mentioned, the execution meant that this was a thoroughly enjoyable. The book itself is also well paced with solid character development.
The book opens with Tommy Gordon nervous for his wedding, but is bolstered by the presence of his best man and best friend, Grayson Philips, and Grayson’s incorrigible son, Petey. And within moments Tommy’s world is crashing down around him. Luckily for him, Tommy has some wonderful people to help him, least of which is his bestie Grayson with Petey right behind. When Tommy plans to cancel his tropical honeymoon (which he hadn’t really wanted as much as he had wanted to go to Paris), Grayson convinces Tommy to go and have fun. Which leads to Grayson and Petey tagging along.
This is a fun and sexy story that turns friends to lovers, which has the family friendly element with the addition of the precocious Petey, who is more than happy for his dad to get with Uncle Tommy so that he can keep Uncle Tommy for real. Seriously, cute and sneaky kid. Petey also is a highlight when Tommy gathers the courage to properly face his ex that the three of can have a chance to become a family.
For fans of Andrew Grey and the Dreamspinner Press house line, Dreamspun Desire this is one to add to your list as, at least for me, it is everything that I expect from both.
