Description: Ben is finally getting the opportunity to present a marketing plan to a big agency, and Anna Gardner happens to be in the room during his presentation. Anna is the focus of the campaign, and Ben is able to get the job because of Anna's endorsement. Now the two go from working professionals to something more when Anna needs help with a family situation. However, will they be able to be together while Anna is in the spotlight?
The good
- This is a bonus but my name is Anna, my husband's name is Ben, so I do like this name pairing the best out of any books.
- As always, the Jasmine Guillory formula sucks me in. I love the romance, the meeting, the miscommunication. All of it.
- I appreciated SOME of the over the top celebrity related scenarios.
- I feel like this was very separate from the wedding date series, even though it was the last book, and I actually liked the focus on the couple vs focusing on the connection to the other books in the series.
- Ben and Anna were great characters and I loved the depth of learning about Anna's family.
The loss of a half star:
- While I did like some over the top celebrity related scenarios, I did not like them all and it made the book feel like realistic compared to some of Jasmine's other books and I did not like that.
Overall: If you've read the other five books, definitely pick this one up. Or you could start with this one! However, you will be a little spoiled for another book in the series if you do. :)
