5 Stars
I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for Travis and Rod’s story and Ms. Keaton didn’t disappoint me! I loved these guys, they may actually be my favorite couple from this series so far. While I wanted to knock their heads together in the beginning, I still absolutely adored them.
Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and His Best Man was a great one. Travis and Rod fit together so well, and their chemistry was out of this world. I loved that after Travis finally made up his mind to take their relationship to the next level, he was all in. I also understood Rod being wary of Travis’ confession of his feelings, essentially giving Rod what he’d always wanted, Travis.
I loved the secondary characters, Jasper and Gloria, as well as Rod’s dad and his family and I absolutely loved Michael, Travis’ father. He was an amazing support system for both Travis and Rod. I also loved getting to catch up with a couple of the couples from the previous installments in the series.
I love this little town of Skagit, and I’m hoping we get more of its residents' stories in the future. This was a sweet and funny story with a swoon-worthy ending that was well-written and left me with all the feels. Definitely recommendable!!
