Another Jasmine Guillory book that I absolutely adored. I did read both The Wedding Date and The Proposal before this book.

We are following the main side characters from The Wedding Date: Maddie and Theo, who apparently hated each other? Maybe I missed that party in The Wedding Date, but I did not realize how deep the animosity ran until the beginning of this book, and I was very put off by their attitudes and the sudden flip that happens at the beginning of the book. It seemed the beginning of this book was thrown together, which I didn't enjoy.

But about the first ten minutes of that, I loved the rest of the book. The secrets, the emotions, the build-up, the pushing of boundaries they did around their friends: chef's kiss to ALL of it.

Once again, Jasmine Guillory sucks you into not only the main story, but the B plots of both of these characters. The ending is wrapped up nicely and I'm hopeful to see these characters again as I continue to read Jasmine Guillory books!
