Kardell Spencer is a hard-working, successful advertising company owner who has a no nonsense approach to work and professionalism.
Lewis Turner is Kardell's flamboyant, over-the-top employee. They are polar opposites. Lewis speaks how he feels. Sometimes the things he says are so shocking that they leave people around him gasping for air.
Mateo Lopez is a rich, handsome restaurateur and a new client for Kardell Spencer's company. When he takes a liking to Kardell, Kardell plays hard to get. Never one to miss an opportunity, Lewis quickly moves in and makes a play for Mateo's attention.
It all comes to a head when Kardell and Lewis each find out about the other's intent for Mateo. Mateo takes control of the situation and proposes a contest to see who will be the best man for him. But Mateo has an ulterior motive that puts both men's lives in jeopardy. In May the Best Man Win , two men may find out that winning is not always winning.
May the Best Man Win Reviews
-
DNF* I didn't like it and it was a struggle! I still like M.T. Pope!
-
I don’t even know where to start honestly.
Is this the type of book to be nominated for a Pulitzer? No way. Is it fast-paced, entertaining, and sometimes sexy? Yes.
So, I can’t say this is the best book I’ve ever read objectively because it lacks in a few areas and has a fair amount of typos. There are also a couple incidences of lowkey stereotyping Asians, which was really uncomfortable to read...
(“That little dick Asian myth must have skipped him. He banged it out for a good hour. He loved me long time. I snickered out loud at my last thought.”
Because of those factors, I can’t give this a 100% rating, but I did enjoy it and it was a fun distraction from stressing over school.
3.75 / 4

This was a story with an interesting/unexpected ending. B/c it was an audiobook it gave 2 endings. However, like a movie, it brings down the story if the actors or writers don't do a good job. The narrators had me give the story a 3 instead of a 5 b/c they were just to boring. They almost made you think you were listening to the same character if you didn't pay attention to the story.

WOW.....The things people do for Love!! All I can say is this book is a great read & we must love ourselves before we can LOVE someone else!!
-
Smh, eventhough I didn't trust Mateo from the very beginning, I did not see that shit coming!
Cordell and Louis, two co-workers that couldn't be any more opposites fell over the heels for the same guy. So much that they couldn't see they were both being played. Wanting the man that could finally give them all of what their heart desired, made it easy for them to fall right into his plan.
5*
I listened to the alternate ending that Pope made for the chumps (my words, not his), that needed happy endings. Both endings were dope but I favored the first ending because of the emotion he pulled out of me by it. -
A fun, engrossing read. This book reminded me how fun pulp fiction can be. Lots of nuggets of wisdom like what you'd find written on the inside of a Dove chocolate wrapper, but Pope does a good job of selling his fantasy: showing why people want & how lust can cloud judgement.
Reading this book felt like listening to friends tell stories about their wild lives, the writing is warm & conversational. Recommend for a beach or commuter read. -
This was an interesting read. Why anybody will go through what the two men went through just to get a man is beyond my understanding but l guess that's entertainment. Plus people have done worse in the love of love so l can't complain. Besides the ridiculous challenges they had to do, l really enjoyed everything else. Kept my attention by beginning to end. Love scenes were short and to the point. Loved it.

I enjoyed the alternate ending better than the original. Just too much for a man neither knew. I suppose people are competing for a mate in other ways.
One thing I didn't enjoy was the repetition of words with the scenarios. Once I came to the repetitive portions I skipped them -
That gimmicky alternate ending ruined this book. I like an author with balls and giving readers the choice of a "happier" ending was a cop out. UGH! I knew I shouldn't have read this book! Next time I wish he would just stuck to his guns and keep the grim ending.
-
OMG I read this book last night and I laughed so hard in certain places and was so shocked in others. He is the first African American author that I have read M/M romance novel and I was shocked. I liked the over all concept of this book, I will have to check out the others
-
The characters are idiots. The end.
-
I just stopped caring.
I mean clearly there are 2 guys doing everything in their power to win over this one guy. So what....I couldn't bring myself to put another disk in the CD player. -
I started reading M.T. Pope. May the Best Man Win was a good book, except for the ending. I was engrossed in the story of which man would win the contest until the ending and like wow, really. The ending was a complete twist of the plot and not in align with the rest of the story. I will continue to read his stories but the ending was a disappointment.
