Its sequel Waiting on You is definitely a heart-wrenching 'second chance at love' tale, while number four, The Perfect Match, is a modern marriage-of-convenience, with a green card angle. The Best Man is an enemies-to-lovers storyline. Higgins flirts with some beloved romance tropes in the series, though the stories are so layered and complex I hesitate to whittle them down to simple labels. Faith's siblings, her best friend Colleen O'Rourke, and Collen's twin brother Connor all star in their own books (with Faith's happily married sister Prudence providing comic relief with her running commentary on keeping the flame alive.) When her family cajoles her into coming back to help with the harvest, she's forced to establish new relationships with old friends, lovers and adversaries - including Levi Cooper, the best man at her ill-fated wedding - who may actually be her soul mate, if she can stop blaming him for ruining her life.Īs the series goes along, we end up highly invested in the whole Manningsport community - but especially the Holland and O'Rourke families. Faith was jilted at the altar, then fled to the West Coast. The first book, The Best Man, introduced us to Faith Holland and her family, owners of the Blue Heron vineyard in fictional Manningsport, New York. How?Īt the end of December, as the world cleaned up wrapping paper and pine needles and prepared to say good-bye to 2015, the romance community had its own bittersweet celebration: Kristan Higgins released Anything For You, the fifth and final title in her excellent and wildly popular Blue Heron series.
