The plan: stop choosing the wrong guy. The problem: I have to see him every day.
My dating history? A disaster. We’re talking bad dates, worse decisions, and a list of men I should have avoided but absolutely did not.
So I’m making a change. No more terrible dates. No more wrong men. From now on, I’m only choosing the right guy.
It’s a solid plan. That is until Alex Walsh walks back into my life. He’s the guy I clash with, the guy I have history with, the guy who pushes every single one of my buttons.
And now? I have to work with him.
Which means I can’t avoid him. Can’t ignore him. And, no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop noticing him. Because while I’m out there searching for the perfect nice guy the one man I swore I’d never fall for is starting to look dangerously like the right one.
And if there’s one thing I’m good at? It’s choosing the wrong guy.

Readers LOVE No More Terrible Dates:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “No More Terrible Dates by Kate O’Keeffe is an entertaining romantic comedy. Larissa’s quirks are the main attraction of the plot. If I were to imitate her style, I would say Larissa has a magnificent aura that entices readers to read on. Kate O’Keeffe has, thankfully, stayed far away from the popular practice of making guys drool over the heroine’s physical appearance. Darcy is more than her looks. She is a romantic, but romance is not the only thing on her mind. She is organized, witty, and focused. Besides breathing life into amazing characters, Kate O’Keeffe has woven together conflicting emotions, engaging conversations, and comic moments that hold readers till the end. The story progresses at a perfect pace, which is neither too rushed nor too slow. The author has done a great job of balancing the emotions of the characters to save the story from becoming a mushy romance read. No More Terrible Dates by Kate O’Keeffe is the perfect chick-lit story to captivate and entertain readers.” – Readers’ Favorite
