Wonderful Story full of some twists and turns with interesting groups of women and men that our neighbors and are attracted to each other but there can be some complications as well. Very entertaining read between the two groups of people with their banter and interactions. Good romantic story.

Rating: 2.5 stars

Having enjoyed "Driven to Date" and "A Twist of Date" from Ms. Hatler's Better Date Than Never series, I also especially enjoyed "Just One Kiss", which is the next book after this one, folks.

What I'm trying to relay here is Ms. Hatler has a track record of bringing a smile to this reviewer’s lips. With her strong, sassy heroines, great posse of supporting sub-characters, and handsome, swoon-worthy heroes and engaging, lighthearted romantic plots, I’m usually giggling and deep sighing all along the way. Her tales tend to be quick, flirty, and only mildly angsted where the heroine, hero, or sometimes both have to learn to trust again.

This book, however, surprisingly missed several of those marks. Too cliche to the point of being predictable and full of too many OTT coincidences dampened my interest right from the start. I just wasn't overly fond of this knucklehead heroine. Letting others decide what she does or doesn't think or do isn't a good look on any heroine, IMHO. I honestly am not sure why the handsome hero was so attracted to her at all.

So I'm going to kiss off now and move on myself. Here's to hoping others enjoy this book and the other tales in the series are more on the level of the next book.

I finally opened this book again and I don’t know why I had trouble the first time because this time around I enjoyed the whole story from beginning to end. Lots of fun and heartwarming romance.

I was skeptical when I started this book and my review of it is a bit late but I would totally recommend. Easy reading and great story. Author did a good job of capturing attention throughout!
