The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

by Books to Barbells Book Club, March 02, 2022

Synopsis:

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 on 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 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 the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes..



MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

REVIEW

I really enjoyed Ms. Guillory’s first novel , so I was super excited to start on the second book in this series. And I have to say this one maybe my favorite to date.
.
In “The Wedding Date” , we got to know Alexa and Drew and their amazing love story. Now we dig deeper and and get to know Drew’s best friend Carlos.
.
In the first book, I really liked Carlos. In this one, I LOVE him!
.
Carlos is a (ewww) Dodgers baseball game when he sees a Jumbotron proposal gone wrong. Nikole is beyond embarrassed. I mean, she hasn’t even been dating this guy for that long.
.
Carlos, being the great guy that he is, swoops in and saves her from all the embarrassment that is starting since the paparazzi is having a field day with this.
.
He saves her then offers her a ride home, which she accepts but they end up going to a bar instead to meet some of her friends. Chemistry between the 2 is painfully obvious and they start a beautiful friendship.
.
This is a romance book, right….so, obviously this friendship leads to more, but since Nik just came out of a publicly humiliating relationship and Carlos being a successful but busy doctor, neither one of the wants to fall in love.
.
Friends to lovers' book are always so much fun and I loved Carlos’s character so much. I really recommend this book. It’s such a feel-good romance that is very satisfying for the soul.
