If you're going pull a ridiculous and very public surprise proposal to someone on the Dodger's Jumbo-tron, you could at least spell their name right...

Nik cannot even believe her casual boyfriend of a few months pulled a stunt proposal at a Dodger's game. Even more surprising is his completely inappropriate and frankly scary behavior after she tells him no. Thankfully, a really cute pediatrician and his sister see Nik's shock and get her out of the stadium before the media hounds can descend, escorting her safely to her friends.

Thus starts a really great friendship between Nik and Carlos, a friendship that slowly starts to include benefits. Both have super busy lives, Nik with her writing, Carlos with the hospital, so they both think their arrangement is perfect. Both also have a ton of baggage around love, intimacy, and relationships.

What follows is a lovely friends to lovers to HEA tale with realistic problems, family issues, and a awesome dose of feminism.

This was more like a 4.5 star for me, because I just loved The Wedding Date so very much and "friends-to-lovers" isn't one of my fav tropes.
