No More Bad Dates

 

After friend-zoning him for years, could my flirtatious roommate actually be The One?

As I navigate the hot mess that is my life—with a dormant career and a family questioning my life choices—my knack for attracting the wrong men is the icing on the disaster cake. Time to put on my adulting pants and find a decent guy.

Enter the “No More Bad Dates” pact, a master plan forged with my equally unlucky-in-love friends to filter out the duds before they can do damage. Just when we think we’ve got it all figured out, in swaggers my roommate, Jason. He’s the epitome of charm and a heartbreaker extraordinaire, firmly in the “just friends” zone. Yet, he dives into our pact with an enthusiasm that throws my love radar out of whack. With every new suitor, I find myself wondering, “What if…?”

But let’s be real, Jason’s a notorious playboy, and I’m not in the market for heartbreak.

In the midst of this love-life circus, could Mr. Wrong actually be Mr. Right?

 

Set in New Zealand, No More Bad Dates is the first title in a Flirting with Forever spin-off series called Friends & Forevers. You can catch up with your Cozy Cottage favorites and make some new ones with this new set of friends. Check out the trailer below…

Readers LOVE No More Bad Dates:

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No More Bad Dates is a well-written and highly entertaining story about a 25-year-old barista who loves her job, despite what her family thinks about it, and decides to make changes in the way she selects her boyfriends. O’Keeffe’s characters are marvelous. One can’t help but feel sympathy for Sophie, whose obligatory appearances at the Mandatory McCarthy Meals leave her relatively defenseless against her siblings’ plans to have her move back home with her parents and intern for them for free. The vetting sessions are hilarious, and the boyfriend material that actually makes it past the committee’s scrutiny is beyond funny. I’m pleased to see that O’Keeffe plans on making this book into a series. The characters and setting are ideal. I’m looking forward to the next book. No More Bad Dates: High Tea – is most highly recommended.” – Readers’ Favorite
