It stars Caitlin and Jonas they are both in love with the other and have been having sex for 2 years without any commitment but Jonas wants a real relationship and Caitlin wants fun time only. So when Jonas pushes for more she dumps him and he find another girl friend who wants more too.

Thats when this story picks up, he still loves her but she now knows what she lost and she wants him back. She agrees to test out her friends new dating app and Jonas sees a chance he can have with her if she is ready to find a relationship. BUt he has a girlfriend....You will love what he does to get Caitlin.

This is the story of two people realising that you don't throw love out the window and it was wonderful.

This is the 3rd book in the Crazy Love Series, I must say, I do love this series. I liked this book, but didn't love it. Caitlin was a tough sell for me. She doesn't want to fall in love, but is with Jonas and is in total denial. Because she can't or won't see it, she agrees to go on dates with other men. I have to be honest, I didn't think it was fair to Jonas.

Caitlin and Jonas have been friends with benefits for two years, when Jonas wants more, Caitlin rejects him because she doesn’t believe in happily ever after . Fast forward six months and Jonas hears that Caitlin is going to test a dating app her boss developed. He decides that this is the way to get Caitlin to fall for him, beyond their physical relationship. This book has a nice amount of humor, and I loved all of the disastrous dates that Caitlin had to endure. This is a fun, easy read that was reminiscent of “You Got Mail”. I received a ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This book was slow for me. I couldn't understand why the hero was so in love with the heroine. She didn't give him any indication over two years and he still pined for her. I also never really understood why she was so against commitment and then a switch flipped. This was more of a friendship story to me

I absolutely love this series and I am really hoping that Trey gets the next book. This book is Caitlin and Jonah’s book. Caitlin and Jonah’s have a friend with benefits arrangement that works really well for them. One night Jonah’s lays his cards on the table and asks Caitlin for a relationship and she turns him down. Jonah moves on with someone else and Caitlin does not. Now 6 months later Caitlin is still lonely and missing Jonah a lot. Trey asks her to help him test his new dating app. She thinks about it and after much thought she agrees. When Jonah finds out he thinks this might be his chance to get her back. Can he win her back? If he does will she forgive him when she finds out what he did? This is a really great read from start to finish. I would highly recommend not only this book but the whole series. Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It has everything, love, regret, chemistry, friends, loss and great well developed main characters, fun supporting characters and beautify moments of joy.

The third book in Stacey Lynn’s Crazy Love series (which can most definitely be read as a standalone), 28 Dates follows Caitlin and Jonas, former friends with benefits who ended the benefits after Jonas asked for more and Caitlin declined. The book opens with a heart-wrenching scene, one that clearly shows how the two felt about each other in the past (they were friends with benefits for 2 years - feelings were definitely involved). After Jonas puts his heart on the line and is rejected, their relationship gets tense and time passes. Caitlin can’t help but wonder if she made the wrong decision since she hasn’t been able to move on, so when her friend Trey asks her to test out his new dating app, she embarks on a journey to test the dating waters. Jonas hears about the app and realizes this might be his final chance to pursue Caitlin, so he sets out to prove to her that their relationship can be more than physical.

If the story sounds emotional and full of angst, that’s because it is. I’ve read the first two books in Stacey Lynn’s Crazy Love series (and loved them), and this book is definitely a heavier, more emotional book than the others. That being said, Jonas was a great character and his love for Caitlin made 28 Dates a worthwhile read. Neither one is perfect, and they both make a lot of mistakes along the way, but they have a more solid foundation than Caitlin realized. I appreciated reading this unique, modern love story and thank NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Hopefully there will be more books in this series (I’d love to read Trey, Tucker or even Trevor’s book in the future!), since each one is completely different and offers its own perspective on love.

28 Dates was a cute and quick read, I liked it but didn't love it. The pace was good, the storyline was alright but not engaging enough for me.
This is the 3rd book in the Crazy Love Series, but can totally be read as a standalone without reading the prior books. I previously read the 2nd book Knocked Up, but not Fake Wife and I had no issues.
28 Dates is told in Dual-POV with the first-person narrative - which is always a plus for me. Like I said above, I did like it and do recommend others to read it.

Caitlin and Jonas have been in a friends-with-benefits relationship for the past 2 years, but he wants more. The story starts out with Jonas asking her for a date, which wasn't well received by her. This scene was well written and definitely tugged on my heartstrings. I felt sad for Jonas and annoyed with Caitlin while reading it. My annoyance was soon lifted though, as I did start to enjoy the heroine of the story with the more I read.

Anyways, flash forward 6 months and Jonas is trying to move on with his girlfriend Ashley. But the heart wants what it wants.
Caitlin is helping her friend Trey (who I hope gets his own book) by testing out his new PerfectMatch app for a month. Although she has never had an interest in a relationship before, watching the couples around her has her rethinking her life of only having men around for strictly sex.
Will Caitlin find someone else with the PerfectMatch app? Will she figure out she has been in love with him this whole time? Will Jonas push her for more again?

I'm definitely going to keep my eyes peeled in case Stacey Lynn does indeed write Trey's book.

As I started reading I had to continue going why because in the beginning guy dumps (Jonah) her and goes out with someone else for 6 months, and I couldn't believe that I mean it wasn't a couple of dates it was 6 months!! when again guy claims that he loves her so much, gag me and of course she Caitlin has not had anyone else for said months, whatever...However that being said I decided to read a little more and then decided let me read even more and I was happy that I did by the end I decided that yup I did like it. Why well you understand why Caitlin didn't feel that she couldn't commit and you love her friends how they have stood by her from the beginning. Then we also gets Jonah's reasoning, still wasn't happy about the girlfriend even though he does dump because he loved and wanted Caitlin and then goes out of way to get her back..

28 Dates is the story of Caitlyn and Jonas, a couple that has had a friends with benefits relationship. When he wants more she freaks out and they split. Her boss/best friend Trey asks her to use a dating app he is designing and she reluctantly agrees. The book tells the story of what happens from there and whether or not she can get over her fear of commitment. This is book 3 of a series-I have not read the other books and it works as a stand-alone. What makes this book unique is the dual point of view alternating chapters of Caitlyn and Jonas. It made the story very engaging to see where they were both coming from as the story unfolded. I would definitely recommend this fun and engaging read!

Caitlin and Jonas have had a friends with benefits relationship for two years. Jonas wants more from her, but she isn't willing to even try. So Jonas meets someone else and seems to be in love.
Fast forward 6 months later and now where do you see Jonas and Caitlin? Well, Jonas is still dating Ashley... even though he feels something is missing. And Caitlin... well... she decides to try her friend/boss (Trey's) new dating app.

I enjoyed this one. Mostly. I didn't feel it was as good as other stories by this author, but I did like it. It just lacked a little something for me. Not sure what.

I hope Trey gets a book. I see him as obsessive. :)

Thank you to NetGalley & Random House for the ARC of 28 Dates by Stacey Lynn. When I requested this book I didn't look the author up to know it was #3 in the series. However after reading it I think it can definitely be read as a stand alone. The story is focused on the main characters, Jones & Caitlin and is a friends with benefits to lovers book. This may be the first time I've ever said that I didn't think the cover matched the content. The cover is very revealing and the content is more of a sweet romance. It took me just a couple days to read and I enjoyed it for a romance.

I have heard a lot about Stacey Lynn's books, specifically the books in the Crazy in Love series. When I saw 28 Dates on NetGalley I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try out a new author! 28 Dates is the third book in the Crazy in Love series but it can be read as a stand alone. I LOVED this book. It had me hooked from the prologue. I fell in love with Jonas immediately. Even though Caitlin hurt Jonas, I actually felt like I understood her and forgave her pretty quickly. I loved Caitlin and Jonas together and was rooting for them the entire time. A bonus for me is that this was written in first person with a dual-POV. That is my favorite writing style of contemporary romances.

I definitely recommend this book and I will definitely be reading more from Stacey Lynn.

Thank you to NetGalley and Loveswept for this free ARC!

I received an ARC of this novel through Netgalley in exchange for my review. After a harrowing incident in college, Caitlin Pappas has issues, specifically trust issues. She has no problem casually hanging out or even a one night stand, but she is not willing to put her heart into a committed relationship. So when her best friend, who is an app designer asks her to try out his new dating app she willing to give it a try.

Jonas Reeves has been burned by Caitlin before. Jonas is tired of her unwillingness to commit to a relationship so he decides to move on. When he hears that Caitlin is going to try a dating app for a month, he decides to take a chance that she will “date” him via the app without even knowing it is him. Jonas hopes that she will fall for him and give a relationship a chance. Will it work? They have “28 Dates” to find out!

I liked this story. I enjoyed a plot line where the main characters had to slow it down to fall in love instead of rushing it. A fun story in this time of digital dating!

I love Stacey Lynn's books. She bends the romance genre ever so slightly in each of her books. In this one, the female lead loves numbers and is super sex-positive, while the male yearns for commitment. These two people are very realistic, but they are not super common in romance (where traditional gender norms reign supreme in much of the genre). This book about dating apps will feel familiar to many books, including a sort of decoy situation a la Half-Night Stand, and yet I thoroughly enjoyed the read thanks to Lynn's strong characters. The quick read is a great pick for your next romance pick.

Thanks to NetGalley and Loveswept for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
