If you’ve read any of Guillory’s other writings and liked them you*have* to read this one. It’s (in my opinion) her best of the wedding date series. The characters are loveable, the story is sweet, and it’s so funny at times i couldn’t help laughing out loud. Definitely would recommend to anyone who likes romanc.

When Nik gets a surprise proposal at a baseball game and needs to flee - Carlos is there to help her escape.  Carlos was a supporting character in The Wedding Date and it was so fun to meet his family during this story.  

The chemistry between these two is so cute and they definitely have a believable connection.  I love Nik’s group of friends as well as Carlos’s family.  Guillory does just a great job creating ties between her characters and making you want to pick up the next book on this series!  I will definitely be reading The Wedding Date soon!

While I was sometimes frustrated by Carlos’s issues with medicine, especially as a doctor, I did still enjoy this book.  I would recommend it for my romance readers, especially those while enjoyed The Wedding Date and the fun loving Carlos we met in that book!
