It was cute, and it was everything I expected it to be from the synopsis. However daisy made me want to reach into this book and smack some sense into her. Liam was also a frustrating character to read. I see the appeal of this book, and I don’t regret reading it. I just wish the characters didn’t act like teenagers when they’re in their late 20s/early 30s.
If you are looking for a romance novel to casually read that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside this is a great book for that. I did not expect the sex scenes initially but I enjoyed them and thought they added a nice touch to the story.
This is just a very cute romance love story and that’s all there is to say. It does not get a full five stars because I guess it didn’t really amaze me ? I️ usually reserve 5 stars for books where I am shocked or amazed or overly emotional at the book, so even though it was shy of that it was still a very good book to read.

Such a feel good book! I really needed a light, fun read and this was perfect. Finished it in one weekend, and it put me in the best mood. Would recommend for anyone looking for a rom-com to lighten things up!

This was cute! I really enjoyed the chemistry between Daisy and Liam, their banter was great. Liam was absurdly horny, but based on his characterization that tracks. The final 1/4 of the book was a bit melodramatic for me, too many assumptions and lack of miscommunication!! But all’s well, etc. etc.
This one may is almost my favorite of the series!!! I love Daisy so much and am glad she got her happy ending.
I have never not loved a fake dating trope and the yearning in this one was just top tier.

I think i prefer this one over the first? but I'm also biased as the MMC is Irish. whoo boy I'm a sucker for a pining Irish man and a fake dating/marriage of convenience trope
This was a random pick. Not sure how it got my attention. But it was really cute. Another fake dating/ fake engagement contract that leads to love. So great!
I really wanted to like The Dating Plan. Like, REALLY wanted to like it. It was my first BOTM selection so there was a lot riding on it for me. I hate quitting books, but with so many more promising books sitting on my shelf begging to be picked up, I had to put this one down with around 100 pages left.
I used to love cute little romance novels back in my late teens/early twenties. Maybe I’m a touch cynical now, but I also think The Dating Plan just misses the mark. I didn't fall in love with the lead characters and their relationship, which is a must-have for me in a rom com.
The author is going for a forbidden love trope. Okay, that’s great, but Daisy harps on the whole prom thing for WAY too long. Even after Liam explains what happened (which was also over the top), she still doesn’t fully forgive him! Seriously? And the fact that Liam was supposedly in love with her back then too just felt fake.
I almost threw the book out the window when the author said there was a halftime in a hockey game. She took such care creating the characters cultural backstories accurately, but she couldn’t Google the basics of an incredibly common and popular sport?
Lastly - is Max Daisy’s dog, or human child? That Westie needed a babysitter when she was working/out FAR more often than any dog I’ve ever met or seen. Felt weird.
