2.5 starsOh how I wish I liked this novel more. Especially because there wasn't anything specifically 'bad' about it. It just wasn't the story for me but I am willing to appreciate the important topics that were brought into the story. This novel included tough yet important issues such as addiction, neglect, foster parenting, and adoption. It really was a story that could open readers' eyes towards foster parenting and adoption and for that, I really wish I liked the overall story more. It open...
This started out really good for me but then fizzled a bit. Cassie is fed up with online dating and I loved her escape plan. Jett’s excitement in connecting with Cassie again was adorable. But once the story lines regarding both sets of children were introduced, the romance took a back seat. Cassie and Jett barely had any interactions, which made the ending a bit far fetched for me. The writing was good, but I think the children really overpowered the romance.
Wow! I loved this story!!! I cannot believe that this is Melissa Ferguson’s debut! I am definitely going to be watching out for more of her work! I hope she’s a fast writer! This book was full of everything I love in a romance - humor, heart, wonderful main characters, great secondary characters, and, of course, a happily ever after with a few bumps along the way!Jett and Cassie are both such wonderful and giving characters. There are some serious and sad parts to this story, which really brough...
Ferguson’s voice is fresh, flirty, and fun! The book deals with some weighty situations—child abandonment, adoption, social work—but it’s also laugh out loud funny. I think fans of romcom are really going to like this one.
Charming and funny with a surprising serious undertone.I was expecting Rom/Com but I wouldn't technically categorize The Dating Charade as a romance. It has the beginnings and endings of one but the middle is something else entirely. Not quite women's fiction either. I think chic lit might suit this book best -- even though we get the hero's point of view and usually chic lit is all from the heroine's perspective.Despite being difficult to classify, Cassie and Jett's story makes for a captivatin...
This book was a delightfully hilarious and also poignant read. A firefighter sees the opportunity to reconnect with his high school crush, now a woman who provides a safe haven for impoverished girls. Sparks fly- and then surprises drop from the sky. Our hero finds himself responsible for twin terrors and a nearly newborn infant, and our heroine finds her hands full with a teenager and two school age children. He calls upon the help of his roommate and neighbor, and she upon her best friend and
I have been desperately searching for a new contemporary romance author to love and I have just found her! You guys. This book was amazing! Everything I wanted it to be and so so so much more!! From the very beginning I was completely hooked and I read the whole thing in one sitting! Everything was expertly crafted, from the characters, to the plot, to the romance, to the humor! Cannot believe that this is a debut-it was that well done! I loved Jett and Cassie, both of them work in jobs that req...
Cute! This book totally reminded me of the movie Instant Family. The best parts were with Jett and the kids. As a mom who hasn’t been out of the toddler years for too long, I could soooo relate...and it makes me wonder just how much personal experience Melissa Ferguson pulled from her own kids. 😅.
I was anticipating this novel with equal parts eagerness and trepidation. Eagerness, because I’m always on the lookout for a great romcom; trepidation, because there were aspects of this story that had very real potential to annoy me rather than entertain. My verdict? I’m so glad I took the risk. Not only was it an entertaining and engaging read, but there is a serious, heart-tugging story at its core.There were two things in particular that caused my trepidation. The first was that I wondered h...
I read this one, turning each page and just hoping that the story would develop into the expectation I’d had going in. The story was odd, there certainly was no “rom-com” this has so many serious elements to the individual lives of the two MC - and so little actual interaction between the two of them. Most the time it felt like I was reading two different stories about two separate individuals facing the new ‘norms’ that came suddenly into their lives. So many plot issues too. At times I’m doing...
There were so many bits I enjoyed in this book. The main characters are genuinely good people so it was easy to like them and root for them. The brief moments they were actually together and interacting were great but those were few and far between. It was mostly about Cassie and Jett in their separate lives, dealing with unexpected events and struggles. The story sometimes got a little long winded with the secondary characters and I will admit to some skimming. 😳 I guess I thought this was mor
3.5 stars This wasn't on my radar because I'm typically not a reader of romcom's but it was on my library's catalog and so I thought, "why not?"The first half of the book for me was confusing, but I found once I got to the middle of the book, I began understanding what was going on. And, of course, liking it a lot more as well! It's not often that(at least to my knowledge) that adoption is a theme in fiction writing, but it's one I would like to see more of. It could be that I don't read enough...
