Sometimes you need a book that you can sink into and enjoy the journey to a happily ever after. Sometimes you read a book and have to immediately reread it.
This was me with A Date with an Admirer. Sophie has been dealt a crappy hand. She has been tossed aside for another. Her best friend, Ellie, has the perfect plan to get Sophie some satisfaction.
The best part of the plan puts Sophie on the arm of Tanner, Ellie’s brother. Talk about arm candy!!! He has returned from California transformed. He is no longer the the boy with glasses and acne.
Who knows what can happen when a guy’s teen dreams finally come true? Who knows how one will deal with falling for your best friend’s younger brother?

Maybe Tanner is just the one she needs to start fresh. A fun novella about finding love when you least expect it. I really enjoyed this sweet and short romance. Told in dual POV
