Save the Best for Last

by Jennifer Probst

Overview

They’re the best of enemies—both in need of a change—thrown together by a challenging twist of fate in a warm and witty romance by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

Tessa Harper, makeover queen of a self-care media empire, loves a challenge. But when she’s forced to satisfy her female readership’s growing interest in sports, Tessa reluctantly seeks out Ford Maddox. The popular sportscaster, annoying friend of her bestie, and long-time sparring partner agrees to strike a deal. He’ll give Tessa his expertise if she’ll give him hers. Namely a makeover to help him get past the friend zone with the woman of his dreams.

Ford has always considered Tessa to be nothing more than a pampered elitist. But if she can turn his rough style and attitude into boyfriend material, it’s worth the aggravation. The plan is working. The problem is, Ford’s also starting to see Tessa in a new light. And there’s more to the complicated woman than meets the eye.

Ford is falling hard. But is he ready to give up his ideal love to take a chance on an opinionated, independent spitfire who’s turning his life—and his heart—upside down?

Editorial Reviews

Probst pairs frenemies on a mission of love in her explosive final Twist of Fate romance (after So It Goes). Media mogul Tessa Harper runs Quench, a “multimillion-dollar-media empire focused on self-care for women,” with her besties Chiara and Malia. The last of the trio to still be single, Tessa, who handles beauty content and writes a viral advice column, ironically excels at making over those hoping to attract new romantic partners. So when sportscaster Ford Maddox, Chiara’s husband’s bff, needs a makeover to win over his work crush, Patricia, Tessa is reluctantly roped in, despite the well-established mutual dislike between her and Ford. The pair decide to fake a relationship to make Patricia jealous, and Tessa does a masterful job of acting like she’s into Ford—so much so, in fact, that it soon stops being an act. Probst paces the transition from enemies to lovers perfectly, with a hero and heroine whose snappy dialogue and gentle bickering rings true. A solid supporting cast—especially the returning stars of previous books—adds charm. Readers will cheer Tessa and Ford along their road to happily ever after, even when that eventuality seems remote.
