I can't, in good conscience, give the book 4 stars. This book did NOT have one of those, and I appreciated that detail a lot. So many of these somewhat cliche romance stories these days have cheap sex scenes thrown in that neither fit with the plot line, nor the writing style, and if anything detract from the story. That being said, there was one nice thing, and it's probably because the book was based on a Hallmark movie. I'm sorry, but if you missed the fact that it was based on a Hallmark movie BEFORE reading the review.let me point that detail out. Guess what? She chooses wrong, learns the hard way, and the right one takes her back in the end. Insert very cliche story line of how she meets lovable guy with whom she feels sparks and reliable guy who makes her feel safe at the same time, and needs to pick between the two. Her well meaning sister convinces her to follow the advice a "relationship guru" who's written THE DATER'S HANDBOOK, all about how the issue isn't with the men women choose, it's with the women themselves. In DATER'S HANDBOOK, Cara Lockwood presents us with Cass, a serial dater of commitment-phobic man-boys. It is a total Hallmark book by delivering HEA! This book will keep you reading until the last page. Who will “Cass” choose George the reliable, predictable and uncomplicated one or Robert who is funny, adventurous and that gives her Tingles all over every time she is with him. I will say throughout the whole book she keeps second guessing herself even though the right choice is right in front of her face the whole time.
He Loves things she thinks she can learn to Like. George is completely different than what she normal dates he is very sophisticated and follows the rules to the T. She is trying very hard to brake her old Dating patterns. She accepts because she is following what Dr Susie's book tells her to. He asks her out but she is not sure why because she doesn’t see him in that way. George is a man she knows from work who has had her company produced advertising products for him. He loves many of the things that she does. But He makes her laugh and knows how to joke with her.
She second guesses it because she has felt this before and it has turned out bad to many times. He gives her a warm glowing feeling in her stomach (or as I call it The Tingles all over). She meets Robert at her friend Dana’s Wedding and from the minute they meet they have chemistry. She has dumped her boyfriend(Man of convenience) of 2 years. Since she has not the best luck with men in the past she is throwing out the window all she knows about love and dating. She is trying choose a Man by using a Checklist that is very unrealistic from the Dater’s Handbook by Dr.Susie.
I loved it and hated it at the same time.
