What is this book about?
It’s been three years since Lizzie’s last date. If she wants to get married and have kids, then she’ll have to put her heart on the line again. Thus the holiday speed dating event her best friend drags her to. Crazy? Yes. Foolish? The jury’s still out. With each disastrous date, Lizzie questions her sanity. Is the algorithm off? The one thing keeping her going: Will. She has to report each date to him, and their video chats are the highlight of her nights. The problem: he’s the one man she can’t have. If only she could meet him under the mistletoe…but that’s against the rules.
Will’s usually a rule follower, but when it comes to Lizzie, his rebellious side leaks out. Hearing about her dates with other men? Torture. Hearing her voice and seeing her face? Pure bliss, especially that dimple he can’t get enough of. He’ll bake up a storm while riding out her twelve dates, and then he can ask her out.
But when Lizzie’s contract ends on Christmas Eve and she’s free to date, a secret comes to light that could smash their chance at happiness like a shattered snowglobe.
My review:
12 dates in 24 days spring boarding from a holiday speed dating event – What could go wrong?
Poor Lizzie. Not only was she an unwilling participant in the circus of speed dating, but the men she ended up on full dates with were a pretty interesting in many bad ways. Some of the dates were just laugh out loud funny. Others were the kind that, if real, would have made anyone swear off of relationships forever. Thankfully, Lizzie had Will in her corner to encourage and lift her spirits. Their attraction was sweet and I loved that Will baked yummy sounding treats to help him cope with being on the sidelines.
The conflict at the end was a little overdone and I did struggle with Lizzie not walking away from the contract after some horrible dates but in the end the right man won her heart.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
The humorous situations
What I didn’t like about this book:
Conflict was minimal
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Sweet romance and humorous situations. This is a standalone story.
