I wanted to like this one but it just fell a little flat for me. The heroine had some pretty big things going on with her family that seemed to have bigger reactions than what was shown to us as the reader. The romance also just didn't hit it for me. I still plan to finish out the series so hopefully this one was just not for me.

I’m ready for more of Farrah Rochon’s boyfriend project series. Taylor is probably the friend whose story I’m most interested in.

This'll probably be my least favorite in the trilogy - by nature, it just has more body talk than I'm comfortable with, I'm fairly anti-NFL, and there's also more glorification of the military than I like. The chemistry between Taylor and Jamar is great, though, and I loved seeing him support her in both her business and in her journey to getting a diagnosis for her learning disability.

Farrah Rochon is a fun author! I really like her books so far! I need the rest of this story so I've already ordered my own copy. Thanks!

Enjoyed the first 4 chapters and look forward to seeing where this book goes. Farrah writes fun and lovable romance stories that I always enjoy picking up.

The Dating Playbook preview was a fun read! It's the second book in a trilogy so I'm looking forward to reading the full book and the next one in the series.

Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of sports romances but I can definitely be persuaded! And this seems to be good so far. I like that Taylor is a no-nonsense woman and Jamar is pretty straightforward. I do wish that we got to see a bit of how the fake dating begins. Maybe it couldn't work out cause it happens a lot later in the story? I enjoyed their banter and, although the premise does seem a tad far fetched, I didn't particularly care! I'm intrigued enough to consider picking this up sometime in the future.

I know I"m late to getting to this ARC, so I've actually read the full book, not just these first 4 chapters. Let me tell you, I loved it. In the first book of this series, The Boyfriend Project, we follow Samiah. This book focuses on one of Samiah's friends, Taylor. Taylor is a personal trainer, though she doesn't have her license and is struggling to make ends meet. When a former NFL player hires her to help him try to get back into the league, she can't say no to the offer of an insane amount of money! But, we know how these books go... Is a good workout the only thing these two are going to gain from this experience?

This short preview is such a good introduction to these characters! I love the banter, the plot, and the friendship between the ladies. It is too soon for me to have a solidified stance, but I am really interested in seeing where the rest of the book leads!

Really enjoyed this book and these characters. I feel like the fake dating trope is one of my favorites (if done correctly of course) I think this book and these characters so far have the opportunity to be one of those books where the author writes this trope so well. I can't wait to finish reading this story!

Missed reading this one in time. I hears some pretty amazing things about this book and author so do plan to borrow from library and read.

I enjoyed Taylor's story in the preview. I get a sense of who she is and what is wants for her career. You can tell she loves helping people with their fitness goals. I love that this trilogy revolves around three women truly supporting each other in every aspect. I can't wait to get my hands on the whole book!

It was also interesting to read a short part of the book about Georgetown and Austin. After living in Texas (not far from Georgetown) for a few years I knew exactly where the characters were. Things like this make the book more fun to read.

i wanted to like it, but.... I didn't . Need more chapters to really get a feel I think it has the potential to be a cute fake dating romance troup but will need to read the entire book to be sure.

Really enjoyed these characters and I can’t wait to read more about them. I loved the plot so far. I wish I had more to read.

Really good opening chapters! Loved the introduction to the characters. I'm very intrigued by the story and where it's going to go.

[PREVIEW READ]
This one doesn’t follow the same character as the first book and can be read as a stand-alone. I liked the first few chapters as it was easy to read but still too soon for me to have a decisive opinion on this one. Nonetheless, very excited to continue to complete this novel!

Very cute first chapters, I can't wait to read what happens next! I def got Just Wright vibes from this!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC which I received in return for an honest review.

I read the first book in this series - The Boyfriend Project - and enjoyed it. My favorite part of the first book was the girls’ found friendship. I’m so happy to get more of these three girls!!! I really hope that the rest of the book has more of their friendship, and I’m excited to see what happens with Jamar.

This was a rather short preview, but let me tell you, I'm hooked. It's going on my "want to read" list right now.

Okay, I just added it and you know what I learned? It's a sequel (kinda, as in same world, different characters stories, with the other characters showing up in both) and I now need to read both.

Basically, three amazing women become friends because they all dated the same dude- absolutely love the women supporting other women vibe here, and honestly, they are all super supportive. This book happens to follow Taylor though, who is a fitness guru with mounting piles of debt and a dream to succeed in the world of fitness and nutrition.

We get small glimpses into her skills and despite not having a degree in either subjects, she is super knowledgeable, and as a reader, I'm even getting health tips that I want to follow. In many books, fitness and nutrition can be approached from a "what you can't eat/do" but Taylor is the exact opposite and focuses on what you can. She's supportive and realistic, thus far, and I think that's a really important message to carry in a book. But, she's not perfect, which is also important. She has made some poor financial decisions, and honestly, that's really refreshing to see in a book. Not because you want the character to be hurting, but it's more relatable than rich characters, or characters who never have a problem in their life.

Taylor is real, her friends are incredible and supportive women, and the small glimpse I got of Jamar, the love interest, was one of a good, hard working man. I cannot wait to read this book!

I enjoyed Farrah Rochon’s previous works, so I’m grateful for this preview.

The Dating Playbook seems like a fun and engaging read! I like the writing very much. And on the first four chapters makes you want to root for Taylor to do well. I also like the support she receives from her friends, which could be something consistent in the book. I already like Taylor and Jamar together and looking forward to picking up the book to read the rest.
