The author of The Wedding Date serves up a novel about what happens when a public proposal doesn't turn into a happy ending, thanks to a woman who knows exactly how to make one on her own...
When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise--or happen in front of 45,000 people.
When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part--they've only been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans...
At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik's rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He's even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik's social media blows up--in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes...

?Robbie’s Review?
If you loved Jasmine Guillory’s debut novel The Wedding Date, be prepared to love The Proposal. Carlos Ibarra is a character we first met in The Wedding Date and the author gives him his own story in The Proposal. We also meet the adorable Nikole Paterson and if you’re still laughing over the meeting between Drew Nichols and Alexa Monroe from The Wedding Date, be prepared to smile again as our hero Carlos meets Nikole when she becomes the victim (yes, I said victim!) of a shocking public marriage proposal at a baseball game. I know, I know, these types of things are supposed to be very romantic, but not when they are totally from left field – I do hope you appreciate the baseball analogy!
The Proposal has a truly delightful storyline as Nikole and Carlos develop a real relationship as opposed to the fake relationship which led to the public proposal drama. The drama doesn’t end with the public proposal and the despicable guy who came up with it isn’t content to take “no” for an answer. When Fisher begins to harass Nikole, Carlos comes to her rescue just as he did in the stadium and readers are treated to a developing relationship filled with romance, heat, and lots of food! One of the things that charms me so much about Ms. Guillory’s books is all the food! People are supposed to love, laugh, and eat, for goodness sake, and her characters do all of that. I highly recommend this funny, sweet, and well-written book. Save yourself a trip to the kitchen and get out your snacks before you sit down to read so you can eat along with Carlos and Nikole.
Many thanks to Berkley Books for the opportunity to read and review The Wedding Date!
