"The Author of the Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn't turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one of her own...

When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise-- or happen in front of 45,000 people.

When a freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part-- they've only been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans...

At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik's rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He's even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik's social media blows up---in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...."

My Rating: 3/5

This was far more my speed than the first book in this series. This book still had a very quick and fun romance, without being quite as insta-lovey. I think that these two characters were better suited to each other and we knew more about them than we did about other characters in the past novel. It was nice to see the past characters but was glad that this didn't have too much about their lives in it. I will say that the conflict was insanely small. I did struggle with the way time goes in these books, all of a sudden it's been 5 weeks, and I don't realize how much time has passed. Could be just a problem I'm having. I do plan to listen to the next companion book on audio.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
