• The Proposal

• By: Jasmine Guillory
• Narrated by: Janina Edwards

When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes into a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, the bun guy, and his friends, the last thing she expects is a proposal on the scoreboard. 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 dealing with a stadium full of frustrated fans….

During the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik’s rescue and takes her away from a camera crew. He was even with her when the video went viral and Nik’s social media blew up – in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilderness of LA a handsome doctor like Carlos can’t look for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic recovery with him, filled with great food, fun, and sex. But when their honored relationships begin to break the rules, one of them must be smart enough to hold back….

When I read The Wedding Date last year, I knew I had to read more by Jasmine Guillory. Proposal did not disappoint. It’s great. The characters are witty, the dialogue flows smoothly, and the whole story is amazingly funny. This is a perfect romantic comedy and would make for a great movie.
If you can’t resist a romance that will make you smile then this is the book for you>

Recommended is the most interesting book I have read in a long time. It was a pleasant escape from all the ugly news of the day. I plan to buy more of Miss Guillory’s books. Can’t wait to start another one.

Love the plot line. The voice actors are great. I started reading the book in the middle of Saturday and listened to it continuously for 7 hours!! I finished it the next day. This book is wonderful. What a wonderful love story. Nikole deserves her happy ending.

Impression. So far, each story has captivated me for at least 3 days. Just everything about how each story, so far has come together perfectly and according to my assessment of Wedding Day, full disclosure, I read “While We Were Dating” first…even so…I still find each story able to hold its own and I will move on to the next one..
