The Best Man

Unfinished Business

De: Malcolm D. Lee, Jayne Allen - contributor

Narrado por: January LaVoy, Jakobi Diem, Zenzi Williams

The beloved characters from The Best Man movies and hit television series reunite for a sexy and soulful, heartbreaking and hilarious reckoning of love.

Recently divorced and fresh off a Pulitzer Prize win, Harper Stewart is in a new era. He’s working on a movie and living the ultimate bachelor life in his Brooklyn penthouse. But still, something is missing. What else explains the stubborn creative block? The carousel of women? And seventh-wheel status with his friends?

Jordan Armstrong had to flee New York. First, to give herself distance from Harper and, second, to escape the corporate grind. In her beachfront Malibu property, the façade of a “healed” Jordan flourishes. Yet she finds herself unmoored. Despite the physical distance, she still feels Harper’s magnetic pull.

Meanwhile, in Ghana, Robyn has gone full bohemian restaurateur. She has finally found peace and won’t let another man ruin it—that is, until a handsome local entrepreneur commands her attention. But it’s all too much change for her daughter, Mia, and when she secretly calls Harper with an emergency Robyn would rather hide, their world is shaken and relationships are tested once more.

Book one of The Best Man trilogy follows Harper, Jordan, and Robyn as they try to establish lives away from the hurts of the past and come to realize that some love is impossible to break. With support from their close-knit crew of chosen family—Quentin, Shelby, Lance, Murch, and Candace—they fight for a future that proves one’s second act can be the extended chapter worth it all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An absolute treat . . . soulful, sexy, fast-paced! What a delight, catching up with beloved fan favorites Harper, Jordan, Robyn (and a dazzling supporting cast) as they navigate relationships and their careers all around the world—only to discover that some bonds can never be broken. Unfinished Business is an utterly propulsive, stylish read with so much heart.”—Tia Williams, bestselling author of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde

“This felt like catching up with a group of beloved friends I hadn’t heard from in a while. The complicated relationships, angsty passion, and doses of humor I’ve come to expect from The Best Man franchise . . . it’s all here! Such a treat! This new story is just as cinematic as the movies themselves, maybe even more so.”—Farrah Rochon, New York Times bestselling author of Pardon My Frenchie

“When you’re as close to the characters as I have been, you think you can predict what’s coming around the corner, but this kept even me on the edge of my seat. The Best Man: Unfinished Business dives deeper into the lives of these characters revealing what has made them who they are, the good and the bad. From a second chance romance to wrestling with heartbreak and purpose, Malcolm and Jayne have given the best men and women new life. Emotionally engrossing. Seductive. Impossible to put down. It’s the perfect summer read, full of heat!”—Taye Diggs

The Best Man fans deserve this

This is a great continuation of The Best Man series. It's everything!! The story lines continue to evolve and keep you wanting more. My emotions were all over the place. I can't wait for whatever's next. I'm invested!!

Sooooooo good!

I hope we don’t have to wait too long for the continuation of this book!!! Definitely a great read.

Sooo GOOD!!

I love this!!! The narration of this was amazing. I could feel each character. I could visualize the characters from the movies. I hated that it had to end.

An awesome continuation of their story

This was a great pivot to be able to continue this group of friends stories and to help shed more light on their personalities. I will say it was a slooow start but once it picked up...it was on!

The crew is back, and I’ve got thoughts. Let’s talk The Best Man: Unfinished Business 🎧✨

“Some love is impossible to break.”

I have anxiously awaited the release of this one on Audible and it did not disappoint. I felt like I was welcoming old friends back that I had not seen in a while.

This installment focuses on Harper, Jordan, and Robyn. The other characters make cameos but the focus is definitely on Harper coming to accept who he is. Jordan standing flat footed for what she wants and Robyn getting adjusted to life in Ghana.

Harper’s indecisive, back and forth, I don’t know what to do next behavior absolutely got on my nerves!! But it was a necessary part of his journey.

Now Malcolm Lee needs to be shook real hard for that cliffhanger!!

When is the next one coming out?

The characters you want to love but….

I hate that I love this because I’m so mad at them! This was brilliantly done. Please get us part two! ❤️

Harper is a mess and I see many men like him

Very great story and I wanted more for Jordan then Harper and more for robin too

Messy and Classy

The juicy-ness jumped off the page! Can’t wait for the stories to unfold and the characters to evolve as they face new age mess.

It was great to reconnect with old college friends!

This is a great book. It picked up where the Peacock series left off. I would highly recommend it to anyone who liked the movies. Great job Malcolm Lee and Jayne Allen.

Visiting old friends

As a fan since the beginning, the book felt like catching up with old friends. The story was both funny and heartbreaking at times. Lee manages to reveal new layers to these characters to make you fall in love with the Best Man all over again.
