Just Date and See by Portia MacIntosh
4.0

Billie is single for the holidays and decides to sign up for a week of dating ("matcher") events - it's a good thing too because all of a sudden, her divorced parents, step mother, sister, AND ex-boyfriend have shown up for the holidays. Thank goodness she can get away and meet Rocco - who makes the events a little more fun for her.

This is the first book that I read from Portia MacIntosh and the only reason why I knocked it from a 5 star to 4 star rating is because her writing style is not my favorite. I love the story that she created, the eclectic mix of characters, and I kept going between swooning over the building chemistry between Rocco & Billie to chuckling at the insanity that was ensuing with the "family".

It's a very cute story and will be enjoyable by those that want a good laugh at a holiday scenario that is quite relatable - I also love that she ended the book feeling like there could be another Billie & Rocco adventure. Even if there isn't a second book, it's easy to imagine what could happen...

Thank you Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my 100% honest review!
