This was not what I was expecting. I guess that from the cover and blurb I thought this would be a deeply emotional love-triangle story, that went on for years, full of angst, etc.

The Better Man ended up being almost a coming of age story for Savannah Peters. And I say coming of age, because my interpretation is that Savannah still had a naive view of the world and relationships, and she needed to believe in herself in order to grow and break free from toxic patterns.

It's pretty clear from the beginning who the better man is, there's clearly no competition. So, this is less a love-triangle and more you rooting for Savannah to realize how abusive the other guy is.

I don't know, I guess I just went into this with some high expectations and couldn't truly connect with the story when they weren't met. I did really like the true love interest though. He was the sweetest and reading his chapters was the highlight of the book.

Overall, this was a good read and I enjoyed it, although I have to admit I was expecting more. I decided to read this one because of the blurb, it definitely caught my eye and I was intrigued about the possibility of a super angsty love triangle. This is my first Len Webster book, although I've heard her books are really good. I have to admit that The Better Man started a little slow, but then it picked up and I was definitely hooked.

Being my first Len Webster, I didn't know that this is sort of a spin-off of the Unrequited books (have to admit I bought those, but I thought it was a duo and it ended up being 5 books about the same couple, which I don't have time for, lol). If you plan to read the Unrequited books, then read those first because then you'll be spoiled. I don't think I was missing much, the book held it's own as a standalone.

As far as the book goes, this is more of a friends to lovers story, although I found it to be a little insta-love. Not to mention the heroine is supposedly in love with another man, but seems to forget about him pretty quickly in favor of the hero, lol. I did like both main characters, especially the hero, he was super sweet, he definitely was the Better Man. Savannah was so so, but she was still very likeable. Like I said before, overall, I think my expectations were way high but were not really met. I was just expecting a little more angst, and not such an insta-love story. The book is also written in third person, which I don't mind but sometimes makes me feel lost. I will also choose to ignore the clear inconsistencies with regards to US professional and college sports (the author is clearly either 1) not American or 2) didn't do enough research) even though those are huge pet peeves of mine. And I think I could've done without the unnecessary drama at the 90%ish mark, but this was a good read nonetheless.

This book is absolutely beautifully written! Len Webster again shows off her talent in writing 3rd POV stories. I know, 3rd POV is not everyone's cup of tea and I myself always need some chapters to get used to it. But believe me it's worth it a thousand times!

Even though we've met the main characters in the 4 books series "The Science of Unrequited" before, this book is not as angsty as this series. But don't get fooled, The Better Man will touch you deeply. The characters are full of self-doubt and they are fighting their way through to true love. They feel real, their struggles, specially with themselves are totally relatable.

Reading The Better Man will kidnap you into a universe full of stars, obstacles, possibilities, tears and smiles, all in the name of love!

The Better Man
By: Len Webster


*REVIEW* ☆☆☆☆

"She lies and says she's in love with him. Can't find a better man. She dreams in color. She dreams in red. Can't find a better man." ~"Better Man" Pearl Jam (Vitology,1994)~

Although Len Webster is a new author to me, the scenario she presents in The Better Man is one that many women know well. It happens everyday. In this story, the heroine, Savannah, must, essentially, make a choice. Which man is the better man? Should she settle for what is comfortable and familiar? Should she listen to reason or follow a path based on emotion instead of logic? I won't delve into her decision and spoil it. I can say the story is a journey of self actualization and reflection for Savannah. What does she want her life to be in all honesty? Finding answers requires growth, maturity and change for Savannah. This sharp and insightfully written story is a great read. The characters might cause a bit of emotional turmoil and heartache for you, but it is all in the name of love. The Better Man is sure to delight readers!

I had high hopes for this book because I loved Len Webster’s The Science of Unrequited series. This book is about Savannah, who we met in the previous series since she is AJ’s best friend and roommate. In this book she is looking for the “better” man between 2 guys she has known for years, one in a romantic sense and one as, kind of, friends. This book was odd on that it wasn’t written from the point of views of the male and female lead characters. It was written from multiple points of view. Overall it was a cute story but it just seemed awkward at times. It was instantly clear who the better man is between who she has to “choose” from. I felt like the characters were always putting themselves down. The interactions also didn’t feel natural. This was a very cute story but the execution of it just didn’t work for me. But I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to read more about the group of friends and family we met in The Science of Unrequited series and who likes feel good stories!

This story turned out differently then I originally thought it would be based on the synopsis and I loved the way it did. Savannah is caught in a endless loop of her past and her present and also her feelings and viewpoints in herself and I loved her journey while she was finding the better man she realized she deserved the absolute best

The Better Man hooked me from the beginning of the book. I didn’t want to do anything else but read this book. Savannah love life made her always the second choice and good enough for left overs. In this story, we get to witness her growth and her never settling for less. Standalone. HEA. A story that is an great addition to her other books. Happy Reading!

I thought The better man was a interesting story with characters that broke and put it back together. This would also be the first story that I've read by Len Webster and I can't wait to read more by the author in the future . Some of the characters are mentioned in another book but can be read as a standalone I wasn't lost but from reading reviews from fellow readers I will be checking out the book to see more of the characters .

For years, Savannah had a forbidden thing with her first love. But he hurt her at every turn and she finally got away. And yet now, years later he has the nerve to walk back wanting a second chance. It sounds easy, right? Except not because there's someone else now. Which is the better man? I know who it was, and it will be obvious once you read, who he is, and like me, you'll be cheering!



This is quite a beautiful story. I loved the way Savannah grew, and I especially love that she she chose the man who was better for her, the one who loved her with his whole heart. I won't give spoilers, so won't say whom she chooses, but I'll say this, Savannah's journey is so beautifully layered, so heart tugging, and quite simply, fabulous. I am so glad I read it because it got me right in the feels. Kudos to Savannah and the better man, the best man, for her.

The Better Man is full of surprises. And in an effort to keep just exactly who that better man might be, my review will be a bit vague, so you can experience your own OMG moment like I did. But I can still and will laud Len Webster and the way she crafted such a beautiful story.

The very resilient Savannah Peters intrigued me, all through the 4 book The Science of Unrequited series. She was always there for her college bestie in AJ and saw her through all the ups and downs of her love with Evan. Now that she is all grown up and living in Vermont with her dad, we finally get all the details as to her secret lover and how he almost broke her once and for all. I always remember just how strong she appeared, not taking anyone's nonsense and being the voice of reason. So for me, seeing just how wrapped up Savvy was in this man, who only knew how to take, but didn't appreciate the kindness, the loyalty and the affection this woman gave him over and over again, was clearly a bit of a shock. But her selflessness and determination to be the best girlfriend no matter what is what makes her special and it took the true better man of this story to show her just how much.

Webster takes her time and there is a slew of back and forth moments, where Savannah is trying her hardest to grasp onto a new happy, while shedding a broken past. Her timing seems to always be off a bit and I admit I was as frustrated as she and her new mystery man was with how fate could be both wonderful and cruel at the same time. Getting the chance to express true and deep feelings seems to be an underlying theme here, with Savannah formerly desperate to hear those 3 all important words and currently wishing they would almost stay buried.

There are wonderfully poignant moments, especially with one Miller Gilmore, and Savannah shines through as brightly as her golden-colored hair. Plenty happens in this book, with a few jaw-dropping confessionals and heart-stopping scenes. The myriad of emotions felt was overwhelming at times, and I shed more than a few tears, with some of them truly happy ones.

In the end, The Better Man is a journey of self-discovery for Savannah and the choices she has to make even when they may thwart what and who her heart truly desires. Once again, Webster has created incredible characters who bare their souls even when it hurts. I loved that she showed the vulnerable side to Savannah, but paired it beautifully with the strength she always had to give her a real kind of presence. This a woman any man would be honored to have by their side. In addition, the secondary characters add the right amount of stability and advice when needed and it makes for a truly well-rounded and enticing story. It's quite the ride, but well worth every struggle.

Oh and one more thing: the man who is truly the better man as is referenced in the title? He's exceptional and is simply perfect for our girl.

4.5 stars all the way!

Savannah has never been on the receiving end of unwavering love and acceptance from anyone in her life. She may have been in a long term relationship, but it was very one sided where she gave everything she had and more and only received heartbreak in return. She had accepted the status quo for so long until a boiling point was reached, and she was finally able to walk away.

She finally has a new man in her life who values her for the woman she is even if at times she believes he deserves better than she. Just when she is finally happy, she is faced with the decision of the man from her past or the man from her present?

Filled with so much emotion and angst this story is Savannah’s journey as she must choose the best man both for the present and the future.

Len has this ability to draw you into her world and make you feel like you're sitting there living this with all of the characters. The Better Man is no exception - well-written, emotional, and very, very hard to put down. While this had the typical angst and drama, this was also a journey of self-discovery for Savannah. We get to see her grow into a strong woman and realize her own self-worth. While this does have two leading men (that I won't name because SPOILERS), this is really Savannah's story. This is a story to root for the heroine and HER life and taking control of it - self-love and self-care. Highly recommend. 4.5/5 stars

This one is not your average read and that's what I loved about it. It's focused on characters, on story development and on giving you the reader a truly rich read. Sooo much emotion and angst in this one!!!

I was hooked from the first page through to the end. I'm not going to say a whole lot because this is the kind of book you should go into blind. It deserves your open mind. I wonder who you'll think is actually The Better Man??

If you have read Len's previous books then you will have met Savannah already. I always liked her because she was such a supportive friend to AJ and I wanted to know more about her as a person. I will not say anything about the men in this story except that you will love and hate with equal measure.

Savannah really could be anyone, she is caught in a damaging relationship. I remembered her as this strong independent young woman but we now get to see just how much her secret man had a hold on her. I have to say her feeling like she didn't deserve or was worth more really hurt and struck such a chord for me. Watching her personal growth throughout the entire book was uplifting and made me rejoice. The life lesson to take from this story is know your worth.

An enjoyable and heartfelt story. This was my first time reading this author and although I had not been introduced to the characters, it was not difficult to fall into the story. I really liked how Savannah found her strength, growth and acknowledgment of her worth. Will was a very likable and understanding character. Their chemistry and the draw they had toward each other was undeniable.

A new author and a complex story about emotional abuse, alcohol addiction, and a submissive heroine who doesn’t seem to be able to break out of the cycle. This book was supposed to be a standalone, but I realized that the characters had past histories from previous books. Although it can be read and enjoyed, I did still felt the holes left from not having read those other books. Anyhow, the story can still be enjoyed and the characters were well developed, so I knuckled down to reading.

First off, the characters, Savannah and William, have an uncertainty aura about them. They are both godparents to Miller, who is the daughter of Alex, Savannah’s best friend and Will’s cousin. Although they have met before, they hadn’t interacted before. On this particular weekend, where Alex is doing a temporary teaching position in London and her husband Evan is away on business, both Savannah and Will are babysitting Miller. There’s a hesitance to their sharing of information, to the liking they start to feel for each other.

Since her college days at Duke, Savannah had an off and on relation with Walter Voconik, an NBA player. During their college days, they kept their relation a secret, as he enjoyed all the benefits of being a star basketball player. They broke up after college and he went on to enjoy the life of a professional player, booze and women included. And yet, in spite of all his fame and partying, he keeps calling and messaging Savannah. He’s at times abusive and insulting, other times needy and clinging.

Savannah, who is estranged from her mother and living with her father, is working at her desired job, a marketer. Her mother was pressuring her to marry the heir to an empire for her own personal gain, so she moved away and her mother cut her off from her trust fund. So Savannah is, at the same time, being pressed by her mother to obey her wishes, pressed by Walter who wants her to be his plaything, and oppressed by her college loan debt. She seems to be buffeted on all sides and all she wants is to be loved. And here is where I digress. She has a loving father who is sacrificing for her, working two jobs to help her pay her debts. She has a supportive boss, a job she likes, a loving father and a best friend who has her back all the time. And yet, she doesn’t seem able to cut the ties that fasten her to her past. As she spends time with Will, she’s attracted to him, he gives her the attention and respect she deserves but she doesn’t feel worthy. As for Will, he falls for Savannah but doesn’t feel like he’s interesting enough. As a financial advisor, he thinks he’s boring. Huh?

There are parts of the story that just don’t vibe with me. There was all this talk about who was the better man. Please, there was no contest. Victor is a self-indulging, manipulative jerk, while Will was kind, generous and gentle. I couldn’t believe the hold Victor still held on Savannah and that she was so stupid as to give in to his demands.

On the other hand, I couldn’t believe how little Will thought of himself and how hesitant he was to declare his feelings and go after his girl.

There was a little excessive musing on the book, it felt like it was constantly going in circles, round and round over the same thing, who was the better man, her love for Victor, her increasing feelings for Will, if she deserved such a good man like Will, if she could have loved Victor more and helped him better. All that dithering instead of grabbing fate in her hands. The last quarter of the book was the best part, with all the action and angst that I love in a book.

Len Webster knows how to pull at your heartstrings with love triangles and angsty writing. The Better Man is an fine example of the web she knows how to weave.

Savannah Peters you may recognize if you read the Science of Unrequited series. This is a total and complete standalone from that series, but you may recognize a few people (and squeee in delight like I did) along the way.  

Savannah appears to be a glutton for punishment, caught in a relationship where she is only being used. No matter how much she gives, or how many times she says she is done and then returns, or is emotionally abused she never severs ties to her abuser. It's hard when you don't put yourself first in a relationship. It's also hard when it's what you've known growing up in your very own household. A mother who loves money and shiny objects more than her own daughter isn't exactly the best role model or the best one to receive affection from. Savannah is stuck in a cycle that she doesn't know how to break free from considering she's stuck in the same one with her own mother.

When Savannah meets someone new, someone who actually treats her with kindness, appreciation, adoration, and like she is someone who deserves to be loved, Savannah's world opens up to something she's never had. Is she really worthy? Is this real? So many questions plague her along with the noose of her old relationship that keeps pulling her down. With promises of being a better man she's torn between her old love and the possibilities of a new one. What will she decide when she's at a crossroad?

Love is so scary when habits are so easy to slip back into. So often we don't feel worthy of better so we revert to what's easy, but with a simple change of how we feel, or in how we look at life we can open ourselves to so much better in the world. This book is a great reminder of what we get when we make better choices.

**So, why haven't I given names to whom Savannah is in a love triangle with? Well....I believe you should discover that for yourselves. Who will be the better man for her? Take the journey and find out. Is it man #1 or man #2?

Primary Characters: William (Will), Savannah, Walter

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book in exchange for honest review.

This is my first book from Len Webster. Savanah choses her freedom over money and she is staying with her father in Vermont. She is caught in a relationship where she is only being used. No matter how much she gives, or how many times she says she is done and then returns, number of years or distance doesn’t matter, she is never free of him emotionally. It’s hard when you don’t put yourself first in a relationship. She is trying to move on, when years later he has the nerve to walk back wanting a second chance.

When Savannah meets someone new, someone who actually treats her with kindness, appreciation, adoration, and like she is someone who deserves to be loved, Savannah’s world opens up to something she’s never had. Now she has a big question on who is he better man?

It’s a journey of self-discovery for Savannah and the choices she has to make even when they may thwart what and who her heart truly desires. She knew who the better man is, but the question is, will she choose him?

Book did have some wonderful poignant moments with Miller. AJ & Evan were lovely. Cute Miller is adorable. Writing style is nice, but it took some time for me to get used to limited third person writing style.

Overall it’s a cute story, but it just seemed awkward at times. It was instantly clear who the better man is between who she has to “choose” from.

4 Chemical Reaction Stars!!

This was my first book by Ms. Webster and what an amazing beginning to my relationship with her. Because of the nature of this book and to avoid any spoilers, my review is going to be vague because you need to experience all the gasp-worthy, sometimes heart wrenching and powerful moments of this book for yourself.

Savvy is a woman that has been very badly hurt in the past when it comes to men and all she’s ever desired is to be “the one” for a man that can see all her beauty inside AND out. This woman really changed as this story progressed. We get some history too, which helped me since I know Savvy has been introduced in the Science of Unrequited Series. I felt a sense of pride for her because she comes to believe she’s worth all the love The Better Man has to give her.

Ms. Webster’s writing is beautiful, complex, engaging and captivating. There’s so much attention to detail that I was drawn into the story and really just didn’t want to put it down. There were many moments that I couldn’t believe what I was reading. The struggle for Savvy is jumping off the pages with her thoughts and actions. I absolutely fell in love with this girl!!

Now that I’ve read my first book by Len Webster, I’ll definitely be doing some one-clicking very soon!!

Amount of Sex: 2.5 / 5
How explicit are the Sex Scenes: 2.5 / 5
Story: 4.5 / 5
OVERALL: 4.5 / 5

The Better Man is a standalone romance written by author Len Webster. This book tells the story of Savannah Peters, who was first introduced to us in the authors series, The Science of Unrequited, which tells the story of AJ and Evan. Savannah is AJ’s best friend, and she was there for AJ through her ups and downs. Now, in Savannah’s book, AJ and Evan do appear, but if you haven’t read The Science of Unrequited series, you’ll still be able to follow along without any troubles.

The Better Man’s storyline is captivating and full of twists, and it begins with Savannah graduating from Duke. Even though it was a happy day for her, she still had to make a lot of big decisions about her life. Savannah’s trying to move forward with her life, but her past keeps trying to pull her back. She starts to feel guilty about moving on, and it takes a big toll on Savanna.  She desperately wants to move forward with her life, but it’s not that easy.

I truly loved The Better Man, and I enjoyed reading Savannah’s path to happiness, but there were many bumps along the way! I don’t want to go into too much detail, as I believe you should experience this on your own.  A definite add to your TBR list!

The Better Man is a difficult book to review without spoiling anything, so this will be vagueish.



First I want to say that this book was nothing at all how I expected, but that's what made it all the more compelling. This isn't a simple romantic tale, but it will draw your feelings out from page one and you'll be able to decide for yourself - just who is the better man.



I really enjoyed the spin Webster gave this story, it wasn't a token love triangle and yet there were three people involved. One of the things that really worked for me was that Savannah really resonated with me, her feelings, her thoughts, the situation she found herself in - all of it really made me think.



All of these characters felt real to me and made me question what would happen in the end, and I loved that even though I thought I knew how things should go, that I pondered myself if that's how it really would work out. The emotions of the characters really stand out and I really liked how the interactions were handled.



If you enjoy well written stories with characters who really draw you in and make you think, a depth of emotion that is fully present, then pick up The Better Man today and see what you think.

The Better Man was quite the emotional read!!!!

Love isn’t in the cards for Savannah Peters. She had a relationship that was toxic, and she isn’t sure she will ever find love...that is until she meets Will again, while babysitting for her godchild, Miller. The sparks fly, and it looks like the beginning of something special...until her old love, Victor, whom she thought she put in the past comes back and wants another chance. He tells her he is a different man.

Savannah is such a strong woman, so her being involved in a relationship with Victor surprised me. She turned her back on her mother’s money and made a great life for herself, so allowing Victor to treat her so badly shocked me. I held out hope that she wouldn’t let herself be treated that way again.

Will and Victor are very different, and Savannah loved them because of that. As you can imagine, there is angst and drama, but not too much that it completely overtakes the story. She has to choose who the “better man was for her.” I knew who the better man was, but I hoped Savannah would agree with me...and finally find her happiness. I’m not going to ruin it for you, you will have to find out yourself. Enjoy Savannah’s road to her happily ever after!!!!

My first read of this author.

This is hard to write as saying too much will ruin the reader’s experience. What do I say what do I leave out.

Ultimately this story is about self-discovery. What are you no longer willing to endure. Saying to yourself and believing you are worth it and are enough. Raising your standards and expectation of how to be treated.

I loved this story, it’s a long slow burn read and I don’t usually like those.
I debated saying this last line but it’s a great love story.

Savannah has a real decision to make, and The Better Man is her journey of reflecting on who she is before making said decision. Which man is the better man?! I could tell you my opinion, but I'm not naming names because seriously, there's not one reason to spoil this beautiful story for others. There's so much goodness to it all, as Savannah has to evolve & delve deep down into herself so she doesn't make on the fly. I mean on one side, there's comfort & familiar, while on the other, intense emotions. And we all know that you can't base emotions on facts all the time or facts on emotions either. You have to feel what is in your heart in order to make the perfectly right decision for yourselves, and it's not as easy as it seems. It will take a lot of maturity to make that right decision that affects her life, while also affecting other lives as well. Seriously, I know this sounds confusing, but I'm firm on my decision to make sure I don't give anything away, because this journey is so much better going in blindly. So hit that one click button to experience it for yourselves, as I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Len Webster always does this to me. (I'm actually a little bit afraid of her now.) I am always reduced to a mess of emotions from her words.

I can't use the 800 highlights I did in my copy- it would give the story away. I can't tell you who The Better Man is even though I knew it once he is introduced in this story. I can't tell you a lot but I can tell you this:

1. Its about time we got Savannah's story.
2. AJ lovers are going to ecstatic to see her again.
3. Savvy could not have found a BETTER Man than this one.
4. I am so jealous of The Better Man. Not gonna lie, I have man envy.
5. Len does absolutely nothing to spare your feelings. (Tissues strongly suggested.)
6. I could probably read it all over agin right now and still be as affected and completely fallen for The Better Man.

The constellations are enough...very 8 protons of Len to tease us and woo us with something so "simple". I am thoroughly happy and a complete mess. I'm also looking forward to whatever Ms. Webster has next.

I had the great honor to beta read this beauty and I just, til this day can't get over how much I loved these characters.

They both were such sweethearts and I loved how they clicked instantly and how even though it was a slow burn romance, it was a very beautiful way to see them blossom and find each other the way they did. Savannah obviously had been burned before and even though her previous relationship was pretty toxic, she always would run back whenever he would come crawling back to her. Until the day that she said to herself enough is enough and even though it was hard, she managed to keep strong and stay away from that toxic man.

I knew from the get go who my heart belonged to and who I was rooting for and I have to say, Len has such an amazing knack to form her storylines.

Even though this was a standalone it is interconnected with the Unrequited series, I have to say all her characters are AMAZING!

I can't get enough of Len Webster's beautiful words!

these characters will forever be in my heart

4.5 - 5 Oh My Heart & Stars!! ❤




I could not contain my excitement for this book before the title was even announced! From that point on I couldn't wait for it to be released and I totally freaked out with happiness when I got to finally read it! I couldn't put it down! This book ruined me in the best and most beautiful of ways. I loved The Better Man so so much!

Savannah's journey was every bit unique and far from an easy one. I felt absolutely everything throughout reading with these characters! The emotions poured off of the pages and got me right in the chest. Also, There was a certain character who completely stole my heart. ♥️

This is definitely one of my favorites of 2020!

With The Better Man, Ms.Webster has written a book that will leave the biggest mark on your heart and soul! She captured ALL THE FEELS with this unforgettable story! I have the greatest kind of book hangover! I can't wait to read what releases next! ♥️

Apparently from the few reviews I read before getting into this book, if you've read previous books from this author, you'll find a reappearance of some of her characters in this standalone. 

This is a first-time author for me, and I gotta say that I was entertained. It has some sports elements squeezed in without it being too overpowering in the story.

The romance was on the mild side for my taste. I usually shy away from love triangles, but don't worry because this one is a very loose take on that trope. The author executed the chemistry well and left us knowing who "the better man" is! 

It was a little predictable, especially from the synopsis, but I was still finding myself enjoying the ride none of the less. A 3 out of 5 star read for me.

TWO DAYS TO GO!

To be honest, I would have been perfectly happy had the book ended at the 50% mark when everything was nice and rosy (well, almost). She was happy and in love, he was happy and in love, and I was happy for them.

But that isn't how books work, and that is DEFINITELY not how the real life works. That is what I love about Len's writing. Yes, it is fiction, but the emotions are very much real and it hits close to home. Let me try to put this in better words - you might not relate to the situation, but might very well relate to the emotions.

I am glad that a pure soul like Savannahs' found her Better Man. I am glad she was strong enough to move on from her toxic past. And of course, it was a pleasure meeting all the old (and some new!) characters along the way.

Have a great read, you all :)

This review is going to be vague and short. I don’t want to give away anything to do with the characters or the story because this is one of those books that you need to experience for yourself.

Savannah has been badly hurt in the past. From her mother to the guy who she can’t seem to move on from, Savvy has taken more than a few knocks. All she really wants is for someone to see who she really is and to love her for it. I really liked Savannah. She’s a nice, kind genuine woman who deserves more than life has handed her so far. I really enjoyed seeing her character grow and I couldn’t help but feel proud of her for finally realising her worth.

This book definitely worth a read. It’s emotional, it had me wondering what was going to happen next and if I was going to get the ending I desperately wanted (I did!). Another great book from Ms Webster
