I’m also a big fan of The Princess Bride and I loved all the nods and winks to it. I really liked the that there is plenty of humor in the story with both Sam and Declan being quite witty and quippy. I really enjoyed his accents, easily distinguishable character voices, the infusion of humor and emotion he puts into his performance, and his great pacing. The narration is terrific and Gary Furlong is a pure pleasure to listen to. And as the attraction is reciprocated, the events at Dunloch Castle change everything Declan has ever believed about himself.īut, is Samuel Aiken all that he appears to be? Declan is sure he's straight, so he's alarmed by the ferocious attraction he feels for Sam. He wouldn't meet Declan until a few days before the wedding, so the best men communicated and planned their speech by email for more than a year.īut on meeting Sam Aiken, Declan is surprised to realize the kid isn't a kid at all, but a tall, blond, and athletic young man. Sam Aiken was abroad, working as an interpreter and finishing his studies.

Declan had never met the kid who was to be his joint best man. The bride and groom decided that Annabelle's gay younger brother would share the best man duties with Declan.

One wedding, two best men, one hell of a love story!ĭeclan Ramsay's brother Oliver was marrying Annabelle Aiken at a fairytale castle on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland. Winner of the 2018 Audiobook Reviewer Award for Romance
