One Last First Date

I’ve made a pact with my friends to marry the next guy I date. What could possibly go wrong?

After too many failed romances and one close brush with joining a convent (kidding… mostly), I’m ready to believe in love again. That’s why I said yes to the One Last First Date pact with my best friends: the next man I go out with? He’s The One.

Enter Parker Hamilton. Smart, handsome, thoughtful—and a doctor, no less. I’ve vetted him like a pro, and everything checks out. He’s perfect on paper… and soon, perfect in person too.

Then there’s Will Jordan. My annoying, effortlessly charming coworker who seems to be everywhere I turn—taking credit for my ideas, flashing that irresistible grin, and showing up in my daydreams even though he absolutely shouldn’t.

Will’s not part of the plan. Parker is.

But the more I get to know Will, the harder it is to ignore the way he makes me laugh, challenges me, and sees me in a way no one else does.

Now I have to figure out if I’m following the plan… or following my heart.

Praise for One Last First Date!:

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “This is a hysterically funny and well-written romance story. Cassie is a great protagonist, relatable and realistic; I have friends exactly like her. The love/hate relationship between Will and Cassie is funny and heartwarming. Will is the type of character you always want around to lift your spirits; his insults and nicknames for everyone made me gasp. The chemistry is built gradually and the way Will speaks to Cassie in a cheeky, self-assured manner made me laugh out loud. Every character’s dialogue is unique and shows off their personalities perfectly. The conflict throughout the story kept me engrossed. You really want Cassie to choose the path of excitement and passion and not a steady, boring future with Parker. The question of who Cassie is going to choose kept my attention right up until the end. This is a brilliantly written comedy romance and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.” –  Readers’ Favorite
