The Dating Playbook by Farrah Rochon
4.5

Audiobooks: 4.5 - I had been wanting to read The Boyfriend Project for so long and I knew I had an ARC of The Hookup Plan but time got away from me so I wasn't able to get to the first one. BUT! I was able to listen to the second book in the series and which caught me up to speed on what happened in the first one. 

Taylor wants to be a fitness/nutrition coach. She has "failed" and isn't getting the respect she wants because she does not have a college degree. We meet Jamal at one of Taylor's pop up exercise classes. He is a former football player who wants to get back into shape and likes Taylor’s boot camp style instruction. Taylor being close to complete rock bottom moneywise accepts offer. She gets seen with Jamal at a local colleges practice and they tell a reporter they are dating to hide the fact that Jamal may go back to playing on the field.  Fake dating begins which of course leads to them having feelings for one another. This worries her because she doesn't want to be known for dating her clients. 

I absolutely love Farrah's writing style. Everything flowed so beautifully and I would laugh at the banter between Taylor and her friends as well as with Jamal. I really enjoyed the audiobook and it was one that I couldn't stop listening to.
