Description from the publisher:

Note to self: When your boyfriend dumps you on your thirtieth birthday, it’s probably not the smartest idea to drink so much that you wake up in the same bed as the mysterious hottie wearing the gorgeous suit who you noticed sitting across the bar.

The only silver lining in my obvious lack of judgment is the promise of never seeing Mr. Suit again, not in a city the size of New York.

Or so I thought, until a story I’m working on about the country’s most sought-after and elusive escort lands me in the same café as Mr. Suit. So I do what any self-respecting woman of my age would do in my shoes… Try to ignore him.

But he won’t let me.

Instead, he makes a proposition that leaves me questioning whether I need to have my ears checked. Be his fake girlfriend for a summer of wealth and excess in the Hamptons. In return, he’ll help me win back my boyfriend’s heart.

Juvenile? You bet.
Effective? Could be.
Bad idea? Most likely.

But what do I have to lose?
Apparently, a lot more than I originally bargained for.

Let the games begin...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


DATING GAMES is the first book in a new series.  The series is not yet named, but at the end we are told there will be more.  This story stands completely on its own, but I look forward to what may come.



Evie’s planned life may have come to a screeching halt on her thirtieth birthday, but that’s when her real life began!  There eyes met across a crowded bar as she entertained the masses.  Fantastically drunk, she was sharing that it was her thirtieth birthday and – instead of celebrating her engagement – she had been dumped after giving her all for twelve years so that he could reach his goals in becoming a lawyer.  Of course, she was better off without Trevor, the ex; Meeting Julian is just what she needs.   



Evie’s favorite movie is BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S.  Even if you have never seen the movie (though I strongly urge you to make a date with the DVD right away), you may decide it is one of your favorite movies after reading this story.  With elements of Shrek, Cinderella, Pretty Woman, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and many other favorite movies blended into a humorous, angsty, romantic must read.



I loved every twisty, turning, loving, angsty, moment of this story.  Yes, there were moments when I wanted to shake each of them, but they had to go through those times.  We all have those times.  Just as I felt the passionate need to shake them, I also felt how much the passion sizzled and burned between them.



Dating Games has fantastic characters and a wonderful storyline.  There is sweetness, romance, humor, wit, heat, sexiness, a little seriousness, and a lot of fantasy.  If you enjoy romance stories done right, don’t miss this one!



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
