A story of a second chance. That is Missy Peters has given up on love after her fiancé was caught cheating with her maid of honor. Now after leaving life as a model she has opened a clothing boutique. She has no desire for love, she does like her morning coffee and her friends.
Nick Zambini owns a gym and meets Missy one morning at the coffee cart. After an easy met and saving a dog and her from getting hit by a bicycle they slowly find time for one another. Nick also wants to somehow combine their two businesses in a cross-promotion which she likes as well. The two of them work well together and also seem to mesh as a couple. That is until an old feeling comes back for Missy which makes her run. Now, will she go back to Nick or allow her fears to keep her away. This is a very good book and was a quick read with good characters.
Awwwwwwwwwwww, this one made me smile! Don’t get me wrong, these two coulda used more communication but overall? I loved them both!
Missy Peters is a former supermodel – okay, let’s face it, I was gonna pre-judge her personality however it turns out she is very sweet. And fun. And snarky – a quality I LOVE in my book characters as well as my friends. It won’t be a spoiler, as you find out in the first paragraph, but her ex-fiancé cheated on her with her maid of honor so she is a wee bit gun shy around men. (Who does that??? I mean, ex-SUPERMODEL!) She has a busy life, owns a new business, has a just-as-snarky novelist roommate (love her, too!) and may be a wee bit lonely. As she puts it, she’s on a man-diet, though.
So what’s the first thing that happens in the book? She literally falls into the arms of some serious man candy. They definitely have a meet-cute but you have to read it for yourself. His name is Nick Zambini and is just as yummy as the picture his name conjures up in your mind. He, too, has some personal issues and definitely gives Missy some mixed signals but their story is just perfect.
I SO enjoyed them getting to know one another, their “business” relationship development, I loved reading about the growing feelings between them. Fast-ish read but has a lot of heart. Love all these books from this author; they make me heart-smile.
Fashionably Date by Susan Hatler a fashionable five-star read. This is number five in the Do-Over Date series, but I have read it as stand-alone and didn’t feel like I missed anything. This was super easy to read and I really enjoyed it, Nick and Missy were such easy to like characters, even when you wanted to knock their heads together as they couldn’t see the wood for the trees. But they have a great story and one you will enjoy, but its wasn’t just them that made this story for me, it was the great secondary characters that I enjoyed meeting.
It’s a refreshing & sweet romance.
I really enjoyed reading it.
