What is this book about?

Falling in love is easy. Finding the right guy to spend happily ever after with… that’s the hard part.

But I have a foolproof plan. I’m taking the tropes that work in romance books and applying them to my love life.

Only one bed? Never fails.

Caring for someone when they’re sick? A classic.

“Who did this to you?” Seals the deal every single time.

So long, loneliness. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

But the more I try to force romance, the more feelings naturally progress with the one man who’s off limits: Walker Collins, the guy I’ve had a secret crush on since 7th grade, not to mention my best friend’s older brother.

Dating Walker crosses BFF lines I swore I’d never cross. Plus, he hates Sunset Harbor, and his pro golf career will take him off the island as fast as he came, sending me back to the land of singlehood, loneliness, and broken hearts.

At the end of the day, I don’t want to be the fool in my foolproof plan.

My review:

First and foremost, I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that made me laugh out loud as much as this one did. The first half of the story was one long, sweet, and super funny meet-cute. What could possibly go wrong with subjecting a bunch of single men to every romance trope written? Apparently everything under the sun for Jane. Even funnier was how Walker would unintentionally complete those same tropes in such sweet ways. The chemistry between Jane and Walker was sizzling, yet clean.

Audio Note: This story was told with two narrators and I really liked that each narrator also spoke their parts in the other’s chapters. This made the dialogue more engaging.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

So many laugh out loud moments

What I didn’t like about this book:

Jane’s excessive concern over the opinions of her best friend.

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Sizzling, but sweet romance and many laugh out loud moments. This is the first book in the series.

Note: I received this book complimentary from Dreamscape Media via NetGalley. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
