The New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn't turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one on her own...
When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise—or happen in front of 45,000 people.
When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part—they've only been dating for five months, and he can’t even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans...
At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik’s rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He’s even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik’s social media blows up—in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...
Boring - literally the worst book I’ve ever read This book was soo boring and painful to finish. The writing was absolutely horrid and very elementary. I only read it due to Reese Witherspoon’s book club. Bad book club pick that’s for sure. A complete waste of time and money.Disappointed. I liked Carlos a lot in "The Wedding Date" so naturally was excited that he was getting his own story. The person he was in the first story, though, seems to be totally different than how he was in this. In the first story, he was the no BS tell it like it is for Drew that everyone should have. In his own story, though, he seemed far less mature and rational, especially with how he handled things with Nik. At one point his irrational, out of left field behavior made me actually yell out, "WHAT? Are you kidding me? Who does that?" Yeah, he irritated me here and I was so disappointed with this book. Nik was okay, but she didn't leave too much of an impression on me. The diverse cast of supporting characters was nice, and I was more interested in them as well as Carlos' sister and cousin than in either of the main characters. Definitely preferred "The Wedding Date" to this one.Another fantastic story! Jasmine Guillory became an insta-buy author for me about 1/3 of the way through her first book (The Wedding Date is amazing and you should read it now) and this follow up did not disappoint. You don't need to have read The Wedding Date to read this one (but again I urge you to), but you'll see characters from that book pop up here and it means more when they do.I was delighted to get Carlos's story in this book and introduced to a trio of new ladies, although it's Nik who is the heroine of this story. Even though there are some familiar tropes happening in this story (casual relationship turns out to be not so casual; people with trust and commitment issues freak out over having feels for each other), I like the ways the character development made those interesting. Carlos and Nik are written so well that I got their issues. I felt like their friends: I can see that they're meant to be together but I also know enough of their history to know why it's hard for them and that they just need time (and a little encouragement) to figure it out for themselves. It makes it all the more satisfying when they get together at the end.I also like how the author doesn't skimp on the secondary characters. We don't get as much detail on them but they're not cardboard cutouts only there to further the main plot. I know I'm hoping one of them will be the star of the next book!I will say I liked The Wedding Date just a tad more. Because it featured a black heroine and a white hero, there were racial issues covered in a really seamless way that made the story stand out. This story has a Hispanic hero and a black heroine, so there is less need for those topics to be addressed (it gets touched on but not with as much depth). It's not that this book needed that; I just appreciated the realism that it brought to her first book. I can't wait to read what she writes next!
