The 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...

For some reason this was just fine for me. An awesome part was the dialogue and repartee that the girls had together, I just overall was pretty 'meh' about it. There was some lack of tension, and I didn't find it steamy either.
0The description on the back of the book says, “…so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex.” BUT THERE WAS NO SEX IN THE BOOK. C’mon. You say there’s fantastic sex making it sound like a good ‘ol classic smutty smut book and then the whole book is PG-13? Lame.
0Oh boy, this was hot stinky mind garbage. But here’s the thing, we all need a little mind garbage from time to time. I kept reading because I enjoyed the mindless distraction.
There are lots of reasons why I didn’t love this book, but the one I’ll note here is the way representation was handled. It was refreshing to read about diverse characters in a romance, but representation became the story, which didn’t allow for the story to be the story. There really wasn’t much of a plot to speak of. However, this scratched the itch it needed to, and I’m grateful for that.
