Sweet Story
This is a great debut story and is a standalone contemporary romance told from duel POVs.
Mason is working two job, takes care of his sister, attends classes and works for Tailor Made
(a dating service). He has no time left for commitment and feelings.
Rayleigh is working at Premier Event and Catering for the she-devil, while putting her dreams of being an artist on hold. Dating – who has time for that?
Mason and Rayleigh’s story had me from the first pages. They are two real characters with a touch of insta love. I enjoyed the fact that they just didn’t fall into an easy relationship. They both feel “something”, but they had to work for this relationship and push through their thoughts and feelings. Even with their tragic pasts I was hoping and cheering that they were meant to heal each other.
Hoping to see more from this author, as I would like to see more from the secondary characters.
A Tailor Made Love!
This is Tasha Lewis’ debut novel. This is Mason and Rayleigh’s story. Tailor Made allows the client to pick and choose their custom date. Both Mason and Rayleigh have past issues which they need to work through to find their peace. The book’s main message is one of hope and encouragement (and we can all use more of that in our lives). I did feel this was written for a young audience.
I received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely.
TASHA BLEW IT OUT OF THE PARK WITH THIS BOOK! I can’t believe this is her debut novel, it was sooo well done! Her writing is just so good!
I loved every bit of the relationship between Mason and Rayleigh! From how the met, to how their relationship continued and all of their ups and downs. EVERY.MOMENT.WAS.PERFECT! I love when a book has a relationship that isn’t perfect and is very real! This story was just so REAL and that made it so much better. Meeting each other and falling for each other made Mason and Ray both such better people! And we have people like Kat and Shelby who really help make this story so complete! I also really enjoyed how much art and books were a part of this story. Of course books are special to me, but so is art. It helped it be so relatable! I also love how we got a few twists and turns, as well as some really deep backgrounds. There were just so many layers to their stories.
Tasha’s writing alone was just amazing. I loved how she really used the supporting characters to help her hero and heroine shine! We got to feel all of the emotions (shocker: I even cried once) and they were done so beautifully. Nothing really bashed you in the face, but the emotions were transitioned so perfectly.
This is Tasha Lewis’ debut novel and I must say she did a bang up job! I got sucked right into Rayleigh and Mason’s story. One of my favorite parts of the book is watching Rayleigh grow and blossom. Watching her take her true passion and make it work is inspiring. Mason works for Tailor Made a service you hire out for dates for any occasion. Mason’s date with Rayleigh is one like he’s never been on before. It’s truly romantic and very swoon worthy. Mason is very swoon worthy and great book boyfriend material. I mean he’s raising his sister can you say heart melting? I would recommend reading this one. It’s full of heart and feels. I’m looking forward to Lewis’ next book.
Tailor made is the debut book by Tasha Lewis and i couldn’t put it down. It was beautifully written. Rayleigh works at a job she doesn’t like but always makes everything perfect even though her boss is a witch. Her friend set her up on a dating site behind her back to get here out there and live. You literally pick your perfect date down to what they even wear. Mason shows up and everything changes. Literally. The date does a 180 and they go on their first adventure together. These 2 had great chemistry from the start. Even with their ups and downs these 2 still get through it all. Great 1st book.
This is a first time author for me and I must say that I will be reading her other works! This book had all the feels: laughter, angst, drama and love. The similarities between Ray and Mason, while a different circumstance, bring them closer together. I really enjoyed the flow of Tailor Made! A great book!
A delightful romance from debut author Tasha Lewis! Mason and Rayleigh are both charming characters who come from tragic pasts, but find that special connection with one another. The concept of “Tailor Made” dates is something I believe everyone would enjoy in reality!
Such a fun book with characters you will fall in love with!!! I loved the sweetness and romance that happens between Mason and Rayleigh. These two are perfect for each other!
Rayleigh took a chance and stepped out of her comfort zone. She usually picks a certain type of guy but thanks to Tailor Made, she can pick and choose what she wants in a guy and date. Mason is everything she never knew she wanted or needed. He is smart, charming and caring. He is caring for his teenage sister, while taking college classes and working at Taylor Made, just to make things happen in life. He never thought he’d meet the one through Tailor Made but it happened.
With encouragement from her friend and Mason, Rayleigh is able to accomplish her dreams and make it a reality. Things started falling into place including finally admitting they have feelings for each other.
This book has so many fun characters and romance that’s so sweet that you’ll fall in love with Mason and Rayleigh. I loved every moment, even the moments when Mason screws up and has to get her back, if this book! We even get a hint of two new couples, one of which i hope they get a book because they have a history that deserves a book! Such a fantastic debut book! I will be looking for more books from author and she has a new fan as well.
A unique take on the dating scene for those who don’t have time to date. The first from this author, I give 3 stars for a solid story line and interesting plot. The character were fun to read and I was rooting for Rayleigh to get her HEA. I will be happy to read more from this author and see how her style evolves.
A really good first book. I heard about this book months ago and I couldn’t wait to read it.
A very interesting twist on finding the one.
It was sweet and the main characters Mason and Rayleigh went through so much.
I hope that we will have another book that visits these two again.
Tasha kept my interest and had my emotions all over the place. I loved the friendship that developed between these two and I of course was routing for them from first glance.
3.5 Stars.
I liked that this one had a unique story ~ I love the idea of a “Tailor Made” date. I liked the friendship that developed between Rayleigh and Mason – they were both strong characters that had their share of issues and I enjoyed the fact that they just didn’t fall into an easy relationship. I felt there was too much emphasis on the small details that really didn’t add to the story. Extra points to Mason for taking such GREAT care of his little sister, that freakin’ warmed my heart!
I felt there was too much emphasis on the small details that really didn’t add to the story. I feel the ending may have been a like rushed, but overall this was a good debut.
Tailor made is a completely unique sweet love story. Quickly capturing my attention from the very start. I soon found myself completely wrapped up on Mason and Rayleigh’s story obviously to the world around me. With a very intriguing blurb I wasn’t sure what I would be in for when starting this book, but I knew I had to read it and I’m so glad I did! This book is overflowing with sweet romance, captivating characters, and heartfelt emotion.
An intriguing mix of instalove, yet a slow burn build to the actual relationship Rayleigh and Mason were a couple I spent most of the book cheering for. Their instant connection held back by so many obstacles but still incredibly deep. These two kept me on edge cheering for them to get their happily ever after. Even with the hurdles set before them they still managed to be so adorably sweet together.
Have you ever that friend who liked to surprise you with things? A sweet card, a new scarf, or a lunch date. I have friends who do that all of the time but have you ever had a friend who set you up on a blind date? Blind dates are the worst but what if a friend signed you up for an escort no sorry wrong word…dating service? That might be a friendship ender for me.
Rayleigh is an artist who hasn’t touched her paintings for months. In order to pay the bills, she is working as a personal assistant to Sophia, the boss from hell, who runs an event and catering company. Kat is Ray’s best friend who is sick of her working all of the time and dating losers so she does what any best friend would do, she buys her a date. Tailor Made is not just any dating service. The clients get to create the three-hour date of their dreams. You can name your date, chose his clothes, and plan the date and the Tailor Made man will treat you like a queen (by-the-way, naked is not a clothing choice and they don’t provide sexual services). So, if your friend was paying the $100/hour fee and the tip, would you do it? Ray did and it changed her life.
Mason is a Made Man, Tailor Made, that is but that is just is side job. After his parents were killed in a tragic car accident, Mason became a single dad to his little sister. He works has a financial advisor and is struggling to complete his MBA while raising a teenage sister. So why would he be working for Tailor Made? Mason’s aunt owns the company and every penny his makes got into his sister’s college fund. It’s a fun job. You get to take women out on dream dates and take her home three hours later, no strings attached. What would happen if you met a woman who made you want more than three hours?
Tasha has done a great job developing these characters. I love Ray and Mason and their emotional journey to find trust, healing, and perhaps love. I give Tailor Made a solid 4 out of 5 propellers!
3.5 stars
I was very interested in this book when I first heard about it. The girl gets to go online and pick her “dream date” with her “dream guy,” then he truly is THE guy. Sounded great and different. I LOVED the beginning. There was such a connection between Mason and Rayleigh, tons of chemistry. Sadly as the story went on that all faded for me. To be honest the reason I gave a 3.5 is because I liked the beginning so much! After their first interaction/date they didn’t even see much of each other. Most of the scenes in the book were of one or the other, not both and how they grew their connection. I was even disappointed that there was interaction between the two that we never got to see, they just mentioned that it happened. There were also many things repeated. I felt those things could have been cut out and replaced with others that helped the story grow. Also, I agree with others that this had a more YA feel to it.
This is the first novel from Tasha Lewis. Great debut! This is a cute and clean love story with an original storyline, well written. Mason and Rayleigh are great characters and I like their happy ending. The secondary characters are also great. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Mason has a lot on his plate. He is solely taking care of his little sister after their Mom and Dad pass away. He works a good job but on the side he does Tailor Made for Shelby’s future. Shelby is Mason’s little sister. Rayleigh is a hard working girl who’s best friend is worried about her not having the best pick of boyfriends. She sets up a Tailor Made account for her to have one good date. Mason is the one she picks and their date is incredible. They have great memories of it and want to be more, but Mason has a contact and has to wait till it’s over to be with her. It’s wrong to ask her to wait for him. They want a life together but which one will win. Their heart or money???
Tailor Made is a great debut book by Tasha Lewis that hooked me from the start! Rayleigh is stuck in a job that she doesn’t like. She hasn’t been able to paint, which is her passion, in a long time. Down on her luck in both her career and her love life her friend hooks her up with this dating site where you design your own man. Who wouldn’t love that? A chance for a man to give you exactly what you want? Sign me up!
Mason is a young man responsible for raising his little sister after a tragedy that takes their parents. He’s juggling finishing his degrees, a full time day job and being both mom and dad to a teenage girl leaving him no time for relationships. Instead of trying to date he becomes part of his aunts design a date company Tailor Made. You pick him and create how you want him to be.
When Mason meets Rayleigh he quickly throws all the prearranged plans out the window and decides to give her what he thinks she really needs. You quickly fall in love with these two characters. Its a sweet romance that makes it so you can’t help but care for Mason and Rayleigh along with everyone else you meet. Of course there are some bumps along the way and obstacles to overcome on their way to a HEA. But thats what makes it even better. Who doesn’t want a man to tell you “I’ve got you.” ? I can’t wait to see what else she writes and hopefully read more about the people of Tailor Made!!!

I loved this book! Would never had guessed it was Tasha’s debut book! Beautifully written and heartfelt! Both Mason & Rayleigh had their issues and your heart broke for both of them. Their story flowed nicely and I loved every page! Highly recommend!
