The Best Man For The JobLucy KingHarlequin Kiss, Jun 1 2014, $5.99ISBN: 9780373179008Celia Forrester feels good about her brother Dan’s wedding to Zoe but dreads walking down the aisle afterward arm in arm with the best man Marcus Black.  Fifteen years ago, teenage Cecilia loved Marcus, but he rejected her advances.However, this time Marcus has no compunctions and openly flirts with Celia.  Although she still remains mortified over what almost happened, she also realizes she still wants her brother’s best friend.  Celia concludes a brief fling will rid her of her craving for Marcus.  They make love, but she becomes pregnant.  Both wonder what to do about their relationship with a baby soon to be in the picture.The Best Man For The Job is an entertaining contemporary in which a pregnancy radically alters the dynamics between the protagonists.  Although the relationship feels emotionally underdeveloped and the storyline goes the expected path, Lucy King writes an overall enjoyable second (and third) chance romance.Harriet Klausner
