Cherry Ryan and Jason Valentine are the most adorable book couple. Cherry is a former dating reality star who was looking for love in all the wrong places. Jason is a construction company owner who has sworn off love. Together they make a wonderful pair. This is a delightful, easy read that had me laughing to myself. I enjoyed the characters and their families very much. This is another book with a strong grandmother who kept me smiling, in fact I loved the grandparents story in this book almost as much as the main characters. This is a debut novel for Mrs. Chianese and I am very excited to read more of her work with Tawny and Davids story.
There was so much I liked about this book, but below is a quote from Cherry after Jason asks her to move in with him. I love that she is not willing to bend her expectations.
"For me, that piece of paper is a promise. It's a promise you know your heart and mean it when you say you want to spend the rest of your life with me. It's a promise that when the going gets tough, you'll stay and fight for me, for us. Your offer is tempting. But I'm looking for someone who can say to me that he wants to wake up next to me for the rest of his life and that I'm worth slaying the dragons of life over, no matter how difficult they may be to defeat. Can you say that? Can you make that promise to me?"
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
