After being extremely underwhelmed by the first title in this series, I was hesitant to read the next book. However, I am glad I did! (I almost want to tell people to skip The Wedding Date - the first book - and just read this one. It totally works as a standalone title... but I am not sure that plan would work if you are looking to read the whole series.) After saving Nik from a surprise wedding proposal from her short-term boyfriend at a Dodgers game, Carlos strikes up a friendship with her. Slowly, the friendship between the two evolves into something more intimate. The Proposal is both adorable and steamy, a combination that is hard to find in romance novels, and I will definitely be reading the next book in hopes of learning more about their future together!
