friend of the opposite sex? The one where, if you’re both still single, lonely
and hopeless at thirty, you’ll marry each other?This is the story about what happens when you hit the big three-oh and have to
make good on that pinky promise.
Personally, I think love, romance and all of that nonsense is a crock of, well,
you know. And Reese Collins, the boy who used to put worms in my hair at
backyard barbecues, knows that better than anyone.
But when he moves to the same city I’ve happily, and singly, inhabited for
years, memories of oaths past resurface. Reese is like a dog with a bone; a
really hot dog and that bone just happens to be me.
He won’t stop hounding me, and the crazy thing is, my frigid, traitorous heart
is starting to cave. For my best friend.
It seems so far off, when you’re a kid playing Monopoly in your treehouse. But
when that clock strikes midnight on your thirtieth birthday, and you’re
standing alone in front of a grocery store-bought cupcake, a childhood deal to
walk down the aisle doesn’t seem so silly anymore.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Peas & Carrots Stars
Adorably fun best friends romance. As Reese and Erin approach their 30th birthdays, they are both thinking of the marriage pact they made at 15. But was it just a joke, or is Reese serious about cashing in?
Erin has some hang-ups about lasting love, having witnessed how her parents’ divorce destroyed her mom. Reese has always bounded from one relationship to the next — but only because he’s been in love with Erin for as long as he’s known her. Now that they are finally back to living in the same city, Reese pulls out all the stops to prove to his best friend that he’d make the perfect boyfriend… then husband.
Save The Date is a delight to read. It’s easy fare, pretty low on the smut scale, fun, likeable characters and a nicely rounded cast of supporting players. There is the slightest hint of OW drama in this story, but I honestly just kind of glossed right over it, because it was so inconsequential. Save The Date is the perfect summer beach read! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
novels such as Red Card and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes sexy, swoony and
sarcastic characters who won’t get out of her head until she puts them down on
a page.
