ABOUT THE BOOK

A Romantic Comedy 
You'll  Fall  For

After her long-term actor boyfriend dumps her and marries his co-star, Kate drowns her heartbreak in Friends reruns, ice cream, and tequila on a girls' trip to Cabo, where she makes a painful realization: she’s been unknowingly prepping men for their future wives.

 

An underappreciated writer stuck proofreading articles instead of writing her own, she pitches a bold idea to her intimidating boss: an article about her accidental role as a “husband trainer.”

 

Her first solo assignment?

Date Romeo.

Yes, that’s his real name. Jet-setting, boat-owning, heartbreak-wielding Romeo, and transform him into marriage material… for her boss.

 

But when Bryan, the pilot from her past and possibly the one who got away, reenters her life, Kate finds herself caught between two men, and one big lie. As hearts tangle and secrets surface, Kate is forced to choose between the career she’s always wanted, and the man who just might be her happily ever after. 

"Love love love! Wow what a book! The characters were so lovable and the tropes in this book were done so well. The only thing that could have made this book better would be if the book was longer❤️

“I was on the verge of a reading slump from a couple other books I had finished and this was EXACTLY what I needed.”

"This book is for the hopeless romantics who dream of fairytales and swoon worthy men, who believe in love and finding your soulmate.”

"This book is the definition of a feel good romcom read! Once I picked it up, it was hard for me to put down!
