AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT
I’m not too proud to admit that finding Mr. Right involves swiping right. Right? Welcome to dating in avocado toastland.
Here I am, on my first blind date, ever, courtesy of a smartphone app and my two annoying best friends.
So what is Chris “Fletch” Fletcher doing, walking across the room, looking at his phone like he’s pattern matching a picture to find a real person he’s never met before?
Oh.
Oh, no.
The guy I drop-kicked in seventh grade cannot be my blind date. The guy who earned me this infernal nickname.
That’s right.
Feisty.

PAPERBACK
Excerpt
“Fletch,” I start, walking into my office, waving him on. As we pass by the children, they snicker and whisper, the girls more stirred up than the boys. We reach the office, I close the door, and ask, “Why are you here?”
“I came to see you because I knew this was your lunch break and you’ve been ignoring my texts and calls.”
“Maybe I need some space.”
“I respect that.”
“Clearly, you don’t.”
“Look, Fiona, I’m not here to argue with you. Or to crowd you or upset you. The opposite, actually. I realized our wires have been crossed and it was better to just come to you, face to face, and say what needs to be said.”
“You couldn’t wait until I wasn’t working?”
“If you’d answer my texts and calls, I could.”
“Fair enough. What do you want to say? What needs to be said?”
“I would like to ask you out on a date.”
“A date?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I like you.”
“That’s it?”
“Isn’t that enough?”
“After seventeen years of teasing me, of that stupid nickname following me around like a poltergeist, now you suddenly decide that because I saved your nephew you want to date me?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then what is it like?”
“I don’t know. Let me find out what it’s like by spending time with you. Let’s both find out what the other is really like. Do we have to define this? Let’s explore it.” He grins. “Let’s explore each other.”
“I think you’re trauma bonding with me and getting that confused with having feelings for me.”
“Trauma bonding?”
“We went through something emotionally intense together. You helped me. I saved your nephew. But that doesn’t mean we should date.”
“That’s not why I’m asking you out.”
“Is it because we kissed?”
“That’s not why, but it certainly adds to all the reasons why.”

only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet
paper rolls.

My Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5
Funny, feisty, and fun read. Started out with a heavy subject, but the book was a fun read. I was laughing from the first page reading about preschoolers.
Fiona is a strong, feisty, enlightened woman who finds herself wondering if she will ever find that one person who will complete her. After a dangerous situation happens that has her questioning everything about herself and her life, she finds herself being comforted by her junior high school nemesis and she battles with herself trying to figure out why she still holds a grudge.
Chris is grateful for Feisty’s kickboxing training now, because it saved his nephew as well as the other children in her preschool class, and the interns and herself. Things could have been so much different if she hadn’t dug into her recesses of herself and remembered her training so that she could disarm Rico when he tries to get his son.
This book was fun to read and had me laughing through most of it I give it 4-stars and encourage you to pick it up and read it if you like RomComs and feisty women who know how to take care of themselves, but can also let a good man take care of them when they need to. This was my first read of Julia Kent’s work, but I really think I need to go back and get the first two books in this series as Perky and Mallory seem to have had some crazy shenanigans as well.
