Her Man of Honor is a friends to lovers/surprise pregnancy romance between Everly and Henry. When we meet Everly in the beginning of the book she’s just been jilted at the altar on her wedding day which is a huge slap to her ego being that she’s a wedding advice columnist for a huge site called Veil. Her best friend Henry knows where to find her…hiding out in the bathroom eating ritz crackers and cheese from a can. He goes to console her and this moment pushes the rest of the plot forward. It’s the beginning of the night that changes the dynamic of their relationship and everything else
This book is unputdownable. Teri Wilson grabbed hold of my attention on page one and never let it go. It’s part Audrey Hepburn classic movie, part Sex and the City girl gang, glittered with emotional wounds and conflict all with the sparkle I’ve come to expect with Teri Wilson’s writing. Her voice is so distinct and as a reader we are truly lucky that she fully leans in and embraces her writing voice and the lane she’s in. No one else could’ve written This book. It felt like I just read the book of Teri’s dreams, that she’s been plotting away at for years and finally just let loose and put it out there. I adored it and can’t wait for the next book from the series!

Book-hang-over good! More articulate review to come...
From the blog, the review:
I love category romance and I yearn to read it with the same enthusiasm I used to. But category romance has been a desert, at least to this reader, these past few years and I’ve DNF-ed, disappointed, more often than make my desultory way through one “meh” after another. Fact is some of the best romances I’ve read have been category romances: Jessica Hart’s Promoted: to Wife and Mother, Kathleen Creigton’s One Christmas Knight, Karina Bliss’s A Prior Engagement, Molly O’Keefe’s Unexpected Family, and my beloved Betty’s Tulips for Augusta, to name a few. And let’s not forget the great HPs: classic Lynne Graham’s The Greek’s Chosen Wife; more recent, Dani Collins’s Cinderella’s Royal Seduction. For the most part, though, many of my favourite category authors have moved on from category, from romance itself (sobs). These days, my expectations, therefore, are low: at best, I hope for a passably written, pleasant read…but what I got from Teri Wilson’s Her Man of Honor is a GREAT one, hearkening back to the wonderful writing, pacing, characterization, sheer fun and yet depth of great category romance. The chef’s kiss of the perfect length to the genre. Truth be told, I wasn’t keen on Wilson’s premise: I’d surfeited with the weakness of Chin’s friends-to-lovers trope-handling and dislike any wedding-industry-set novel, Hallmark movie, etc. If tulle is involved, I won’t read it (though I’d rec Mia Sosa’s Worst Best Man). But from the first page, Wilson’s romance captured me.
There is much to love about Wilson’s romance, but I’d like to start by mentioning something we don’t often think about when we read romance and that is her confident third-person narration. This may be the ultimate in English teacher geek-hood, but I can’t help it. So much romance is being written in the first-person and I find it mannered and distancing; I know, it should be the other way ’round, but I like the bird’s eye-view of everything and everyone in a novel. And, if you’re going to write first person, you better be a master because it is really really hard to pull off (see Charlotte Brontë…who pulls it off). I have to ADORE your romance narrator to stick with the narrative. Third person romance gives me the opportunity to like one character over another and, even if one gets the “I don’t like you” eye squint, I can happily live with another. But if I’m stuck in one head and I don’t like that head, I’m out. I realize this isn’t the “trend”, but I’m old and crotchety and I can carry unpopular opinions. (I do make an exception for Kate Clayborn.) Back to Wilson, though, and her assured third person narration which, because it’s coupled with genuine sympathy for her hero and heroine, is wonderful.
When Her Man of Honor opens, Everly is sitting in a heap of Marchesa tulle in what should have been her wedding night suite, eating crackers and squeezable tube cheese. It’s funny and pathetic and I liked her instantly. In walks an even more likable character, her best friend and knight in shining armor, Henry Aston. While I get the “we’re best friends-and-Henry-travels-the-world-and-isn’t-around-much”, I never quite bought why Everly agreed to marry feckless what’s-‘is-name, but a girl needs a premise. In walks lovely, loving Henry and everything gets better and better, or as Everly thinks as he eats tube-cheese and lends her a shoulder and makes her feels worthy, lovable, and desirable, “He’s your friend. Your best friend. And right now, he was proving himself to be one heck of a man of honor.” Wilson plays with that idea throughout, honor, what does it mean to be honorable? It’s not just quaint and old-fashioned and attached to histrom heroes, it means standing by someone, being there for them, and taking care of them.
Which is exactly what Henry does:
Everly didn’t want to talk. She just wanted someone to sit quietly beside her and not say a word…to just be there. Henry had always been good at that, even back in college. Eight years ago, on what was undoubtedly the worst night of her life–even worse than this one–he’d parked himself on the floor of her dorm bathroom and held her hand for hours until she finally cried herself to sleep with her head on his shoulder. It had been exactly what she needed. She looked up at him now, and his gaze softened just enough for her to know he was thinking about that night, too. It was just as raw and real to him as it was to her. Of course it was. Then he blinked, and she was no longer looking into the eyes of the boy who’d lived across the hall at Columbia. These eyes belonged to someone older. Wiser. All grown up.
Wilson has many of these dual moments so well rendered: Henry and Everly’s past and present, what they meant to each other and still mean and the lovely, in-a-moment realization of desire, something familiar and comfortable suddenly becoming exciting, new, wonderful. For Henry, this moment occurs when he sees Everly walk down the aisle (he’s a trifle embarrassed at the relief he feels when her fiancé doesn’t show, even while he’s angry and hurt on her behalf). For Everly, it’s a slower realization, but I’m happy to report not one that Wilson drags on and on. If there’s any hesitation on Everly’s part, it’s the uncertainty of her own desirability. And if there’s hesitation on Henry’s, it’s to protect Everly’s bruised heart.
There are consequences to that “wedding night” with Henry and they throw more turmoil in what is a whirlwind and difficult time for Everly. But Wilson can also pull off the friend circle: Everly has friends and a great sister and a boss who may give off a “Devil Wears Prada” vibe, but turns out to be quite decent. And then there’s Henry, “…with his kind eyes…soft manner…wild and wonderful heart”. Wilson’s romance has only one agenda among romances with many: to take two people who have loved each other for years on a journey where no hard lessons have to be learned, no one has to grovel, the dark moments are only dimmed, to a believable, heart-warming HEA (despite the tulle) and fashion a romance that brings a smile and happy sigh to the reader and shows us all the wonderful, simple truth of the genre.
I’m not sure I’ve conveyed how terrific Wilson’s romance is, but I would heartily encourage you to read it and find out for yourself. And if you can articulate its yumminess better than I can, more likely, please come back and leave a comment.
Teri Wilson’s Her Man of Honor is published by Harlequin Books and released mere days ago, on March 28th. I received an e-ARC from Harlequin Books, via Netgalley, and this fact didn’t get in the way of my gushy review. It’s as good as I say it is! (Also, I love the cover.)

Her Man of Honor is a wonderfully romantic yet complicated love story, and I felt all the swoops of changing emotions. When Everly is devastated after being left at the altar, her best friend Henry is quickly by her side to provide comfort and support. Besides getting a shoulder to cry on, Everly gets something quite unexpected from her designated Man of Honor, which puts both of their hearts in a tailspin! This book is quite a roller coaster of emotions, with so many obstacles, fears, and insecurities getting in the way of these two endearing characters finding their one true love. Brimming with warmth and sincerity, humor and heartache, there is so much to love about Everly and Henry and their story!

Loved this story! I wanted to knock some sense into Everly and was frustrated with her, but she figured it out. Such a great story of best friends who find their happily ever after. Loved the touches of humor, the dog Holly Go Lightly, the sister and friend who also work at Veil (a wedding publication), Henry’s amazing patience, and the references to Tiffany’s and Audrey Hepburn. Can’t wait for the next book in the series. I received an advance copy of the book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a terrific friends-to-lovers romance complicated by a surprise pregnancy. The book opens as Everly is reeling from being jilted at the altar. This is devastating to her personally and professionally, as she is an advice columnist for the wedding magazine Veil. She's holed up in the honeymoon suite at the hotel when her best friend and man of honor, Henry, shows up to check on her. She and Henry have been best friends since college, and he knows precisely where to find her - sitting on the bathroom floor eating crackers and canned cheese. Giving her a shoulder to cry on results in an unexpected blaze of passion and an unforgettable night.
Unfortunately, Everly wants nothing more than to forget it happened. She is terrified that it will destroy their friendship, so she gets extreme in her denial the next morning. At the same time, Henry realizes that he feels far more than friendship for his bestie and wants to see where it goes. But Henry, a well-known travel writer, is on his way out of the country for six weeks, and though he feels he should stay, he has no choice. He goes no contact, giving Everly the space she needs to face what happened.
The book is a roller coaster of emotions as Henry realizes his feelings for Everly and decides to work to win her heart. Everly's fears and insecurities get in the way of accepting her feelings for Henry. I loved Henry's way of demonstrating his love for her without going too far and scaring her away. There are sweet scenes where his love shines through, funny ones where that same love gets her out of trouble, and heartbreaking ones where she pushes him away.
Everly's confusion as she deals with her changing emotions and unexpected pregnancy is realistic. I loved watching her begin to open her heart and believe in a future with Henry until a chance encounter with her ex-fiancé brings her insecurities roaring back. I wanted to shake her for allowing him to get into her head that way and pushing Henry away rather than talking to him about it.
I loved the ending and the unexpected help they received in finding their way back together. Their methods were creative and emotional and perfect for who they were.
Supporting characters are Holly Golightly, an adorable puppy whose entry into Everly's life is a hilarious episode in the book. We also have Addison and Daphne, Everly's sister and friend, working with her at Veil. They are there when she needs them for support or a kick in the pants, depending on the situation. I love their "fashion closet" code. There is a sneak peek into the next book in the series, featuring Daphne, which looks like another winner.

I love Teri Wilson - I’m a huge Hallmark movie fan and the fact that so many of her books have been made into Hallmark movies is so special. Reading her last release, Her Man of Honor, I was seeing the whole thing play out as if it was on-screen … her writing is just has something really “extra” and more than many other authors that I can see it like a movie (and it very well could be one, someday).
While this is a closed door book (with her writing many for Hallmark, even though this one is a Harlequin published title she isn’t going to change the way she writes!), with just kissing on the page, it does definitely go a lot further than her other books with talking about what happened, I do wish it could have delved into those scenes further… being a Harlequin published title and all.
The major tropes are being left at the altar, best friends to lovers, and accidental pregnancy… followed by workplace romance. The third act drama and angst is extremely angsty in this story! A lot of drama and heartbreak to work through. Not too many tears on the reader’s end, but definitely a lot of “feels.”
I totally enjoyed Everly and Henry’s story, right from him consoling her after the terrible non-wedding, straight through working together, finding out the big news, and admitting that they always had feelings (because in a best friends to lovers, isn’t that always how it works?). The sneak-peek at the next book in the series has me very excited to see how their story continues! (Oh, and I’m of course wanting the story of the other two characters in The Veil Crew desperately now)
I definitely recommend this one to everybody, except those anti-accidental pregnancy trope (the pregnancy trope haters)… I know there are a lot out there! Otherwise, I recommend it to everyone else!
I received an advance review copy from NetGalley and HARLEQUIN - Romance (U.S. & Canada)/Harlequin Special Edition, and this is my honest feedback.

✨ PRINCEMAN REVIEW ✨
📝 Everly is a bridal-advice columnist for one of the most popular wedding magazines. She even planned her perfect wedding until her fiancé ended up dumping her at the alter. Luckily, her best friend, Henry, knows just how to make her feel better. But what he really wants is something more. He takes this opportunity to give her just one kiss...does that start the beginning of something wonderful, or will it be the end to their perfect friendship?
What I 🤍:
👰♀️ Best Friends to Lovers
🌪️ One Night, That Changes EVERYTHING
🐶 Cavalier King Charles Adoption!
👟 Fast Read, Read in One Sitting
💕 Feel-Good Romance
Teri Wilson did it again! She is the QUEEN of writing books that leave you in a better mood than when you started. 😊 I absolutely loved Everly and Henry's friendship. It was PERFECTION, and I was squealing the whole time from cute moments between the two of them. Also, their adopted dog stole my heart. I love how Teri includes Cavaliers within her books.

Ahh, I just loved this book and was smiling throughout the entire thing. My only wish was that it was longer, and that the miscommunication wasn't so prevalent in some cases. In one scenario, I really wish Everly had communicated earlier with Henry about what was going on. It's not fair to make choices without someone when it can impact their life. But, I loved the romance, the friendships, and more. I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down!
Huge thank you 🙏 to Teri Wilson for an ARC of this book. I absolutely adored it!

I have adored Wilson’s Hallmark books so I was excited to try this book out. However it was a bit more closed door then I was expecting.Her Man of Honor is the first book in Teri Wislon’s new series, Love, Unveiled series.
Everly was a complicated character, however she was lovable and I enjoyed reading about her. She had been left at the altar and her whole life was falling apart. I really felt for Everly as she tried to figure out how to get her life back together. She was trying her best. It was sweet to see Henry try to help her. There were times when I was frustrated with Everly because I wished she would just talk to Henry. However, I enjoyed reading about Everly growing and starting to fall for Henry.
Henry was just the sweetest. I loved him and how he cared for Everly. He was Everly’s best friend. It was fun to read about him realizing his love for Everly and read about him trying to win her over. Henry was just trying his best to love Everly in the way that she needed it.
Henry and Everly were a sweet couple. I really liked how they were friends first. The romance was sweet and easy because they knew each other. The book was interesting and fun to read. However there were a bit more innuendos then I was expecting. I would recommend Her Man of Honor to those who have enjoyed Wilson’s other books.

Her Man of Honor by Teri Wilson is a friends-to-lovers/surprise pregnancy complicated love story between best friends, Everly and Henry. This book is part classic Audrey Hepburn, part Sex and the City girl gang, glittered with emotional wounds and conflict. Everly is devastated after being left at the altar, her best friend Henry quickly goes to her side, providing comfort and support. Besides getting a shoulder to cry on, Everly acquires something quite unexpected from her Man of Honor, which puts both of their hearts on a merry-go-round. This story is a roller coaster of emotions, with so many obstacles, fears, and insecurities getting in the way of these two charming characters finding their one true love. Packed with warmth and honesty, humor and heartache, there is so much to love about Everly and Henry and their story.
Ms. Wilson wrote a story that should definitely not be missed. She provided a tale that was sweet and sassy, fun and flirting, with love, laughter, magnetic attraction, sparks, chemistry, and difficult decisions to be made. The addition of the dog Holly Go Lightly, Everly’s sister and friend who also work at the wedding magazine, Veil, Henry’s amazing patience, and the references to Tiffany’s gave an additional depth to this story. I totally enjoyed and highly recommend Her Man of Honor to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series.

Her Man of Honor by Teri Wilson is a book I picked up and could barely put down, it captivated me throughout and I can't wait to read the other books in the series! It is the story of Everly England, a wedding publication advice columnist that is dumped at the alter during her own dream wedding. Fortunately, her best friend and man of honor, Henry Aston, is there to help her through the terrible evening contemplating what went wrong. The thing is, Henry realizes he has much stronger feelings for Everly than just 'best friends' and decides from that day forward he will win her over. The book is fast-paced and full of fun and touching moments. This is the third or fourth book I've read by this author and I look forward to reading a lot more! Thanks to Harlequin - Romance and NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions shared are influenced by nothing other than my own reading experience.

Every times in her life when she needed a friend and a shoulder to cry on, Henry was there. Now that Everly been left at the alter, she needs one more than ever. But somehow, a friendly deed became an unforgettable night.
I absolutely adored the second book in this series but this one didn't work for me. While friends-to-lovers and surprise pregnancy are in my least favorite tropes, that's not why I had trouble connecting with the MC. It wasn't quite clear even from the morning after if they slept together because the heroine was drunk or not and I was not comfortable with this idea. I also think that even if she's been sober, a true friend wouldn't jump in bed right away with someone who's got her heart broken that way. In other words, I had trouble with the context. I also think there were too many OTT things happening. But this author always write good doggy moments.

After reading this delightful story, I am so excited for the next books in the series! I loved the show The Bold Type, and this book reminded me so much of that show. There was an unexpected plot twist, which I ended up loving! Teri Wilson makes her characters so loveable and relatable that I can't help but root for them the whole time. My one dislike is how Everly continually points out that everyone leaves, including her Dad. Her Dad died when she was younger. I wholeheartedly agree that was traumatic, but to say that he left? Like it was his decision? That just didn't sit right with me. I do love it when Henry realizes that and how he fully commits to Everly. Wonderful love story that I couldn't put down!

Henry and Everly are best friends who met in college. Everly is having her wedding, with Henry as her Man of Honor, and it's perfectly perfect. The perfect Plaza Hotel for the wedding location, perfect time of the year, perfect dress, cake, food, it's all been planned and executed with skill. Then a tiny hitch happens and poof, it fell apart. What happens afterward is adorable, fun, sexy, also tear jerking. There's so much I wish could tell but I'm not giving away spoilers. There's a cute spaniel doggie thrown in the mix, so adorable. How could I not like a character who loves Breakfast at Tiffanys?

Teri Wilson does it again! I just LOVE the way she writes romance. Her Man of Honor was such a charming and sweet friends to lovers romance. If you are a fan of Breakfast at Tiffany's, When Harry Met Sally or The Devil Wears Prada, PLEASE read this book!
(There is even a *SPOILER ALERT* secret baby! I haven't read the secret baby trope before and did not think I would like it, but it was so cute and added another layer to the romance!)
Also if you are a Teri Wilson fan, you know she always has a cute dog somewhere in the story- do not worry you will meet a very cute puppy!

Absolutely adorable quick read! Emery and Henry are the best of friends, and after an unexpected night together, they are bound to become something more. Of course, neither is willing to admit their feelings for the other in fear of ruining their years of friendship.
I adored the little twists along the way. The story was sweet and different. Definitely caught myself laughing out loud a few times and swooning hard for Henry Aston.
I really enjoy Teri's writing, and I'm really looking forward to the next book in this cute series!

This is the first book in a new series buy Teri Wilson--Love, Unveiled.
Everly works for "Veil", a bridal magazine. Henry is her BFF from college. Everly is jilted at the alter and Henry is there to pick up the pieces. The story is set in New York City. This is a trope that I love and a city I am infatuated with.
This is an engaging, quick read. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the rest of the series.

A charming love story that might not have been a story if these two had just communicated. But that's the saga of life sometimes, and this story was built on realistic characters who loved and cared for each other but were friends first. Throw in a bunch of other complications and you have a story that could have turned heartbreaking. But of course it didn't, and it was a fun, charming, lovely read that I enjoyed and recommend. Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read and review.

After she's jilted at the altar, Everly and her best friend Henry finish off a bottle of champagne and end up sleeping together. While he's off on his latest travel adventure, she realizes she's pregnant. Can their friendship turn to true love?
This book is so much fun! Everly and Henry have incredible chemistry. The characters are likable and feel like real people. The plot is vibrant and engaging throughout.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I'll keep this short and sweet...because the story was just that! A cute, one sitting read with plenty of chemistry and butterflies and all the angst/will they/won't they that one would expect from a friend's to lovers book. Complete with a dog wedding, loving/intentional friend group (with their own books coming soon!), and the perfect HEA, Everly and Henry's story brought out all the heartwarming warm fuzzies one would have expected to see. 😊

This friends to lovers romance was so good! I couldn't put it down from beginning to end - Teri Wilson's writing is superb. This has the feel of a fun romantic comedy.
My only qualms were the slight lackluster ending (although that was probably just me) and how the hero kept using "darling" and "sweetheart" when talking to the heroine, especially close to the end. That's one of my biggest pet peeves in romance books - it might be sweet in real life but for whatever reason it's grating in books.

I still have no clue how I ended up on Teri Wilson's email newsletter list as I normally read HQ Love Inspired. But this book sounded good so I bought it on sale. As promised, it had more spice than a LI book, but it was still closed door. I loved how real Everly was and that she struggles to overcome her trauma. And Henry isn't perfect either. Even if he is wonderfully sweet. The best part was definitely the dog wedding though. It had me laughing out loud especially as it was obvious where it was going.

Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
I have been reading Teri Wilson´s books for some time, but this is the first time with one of her Harlequin novels, and I have to say that somehow I liked more than her other tittles.
"Her Man of Honor" reminded me to "Unleashing Mr. Darcy" (my favorite from Wilson), and small reminiscences of Devil Wears Prada, and other movies which I enjoy a lot.
Sweet and memorable! Would be an interesting Hallmark movie.

Nice start to the series. Everly England is left at the altar, and soon after, her job as an advice columnist at Veil, a bridal magazine, on the line. To complicate matters, her very best friend, Henry Aston, is named special editor for the June edition of the magazine. The complication? She spent the night with him after the wedding debacle, and now finds herself pregnant. But Henry is a wanderer, and Everly doesn't want to tie him down.

Teri wilson delivers again, with a soild, enjoyable, believable, clean romantic joy. The characters are immediately endearing and relateable. There are unexpected twists throughout that keep the plot moving at ease. I cant wait to read the about the other exploits of the staff at Veil!!

A must read! Her Man op of Honor is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It’s a wonderful written book with great main characters. It’s also has great supporting characters. Loved the journey of the two main characters from friends to husband and wife. It kept me wanting to read. I am excited for the second book Faking a Fairy Tale!
