On the cusp of a brilliant Chicago medical career, Dr. Kory Flemming rarely gets a vacation from her demanding brain injury fellowship, but she can’t say no to maid of honor duties in her best friend’s wedding. Hometown or not, being in Harmony Falls, Pennsylvania, isn’t easy, especially when the only man smart enough to trump Kory’s high school academic achievements turns out to be a sexy, accomplished adult up to his old, flirtatious tricks.
Will Mitchell has been destined for success since the day he was born. After spending his formative years racking up academic honors, it was only natural for him to be named the chief operating officer of his family’s thriving company. He has it all—more or less—so when the target of his high school infatuation turns up hot and haughty at his brother’s wedding, Will decides he wants her, too.
An innocent dance at the wedding reception leads Kory and Will to an illicit tryst in the coat checkroom, and the game they’ve been playing since high school changes into something more serious. The new attraction takes Will and Kory by surprise, until a failed merger and family tragedy threaten both their professional goals.
Now, Will’s struggling to preserve his reputation as “the successful one” and Kory’s stuck in Harmony Falls watching her illustrious medical career slip away. Worse yet, maybe the only way to get things back on track is to work together. Can they put aside their rocky past and ignore their titillating present in order to secure the future for the people they adore?

My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An intriguing tale of small town, weddings, family, and fate.
Battling the Best Man by Elley Arden is her second book in the Harmony Falls series.
Kory is back in her small hometown doing her duty as her best friend's maid of honor. Will is best man at his brother's wedding and when Kory and he share one dance together it leads to a secret hookup in the coat closet.
This is a much more dangerous dance than they used to do in high school. Things start to develop and then something goes wrong and now they're both struggling to find their way. They learn that they may have to join forces instead of acting against each other to get a favorable end result.
A short, sweet, feel-good romance that is well paced with likeable characters you really start to care about.
