When it comes, how does one navigate one’s baggage so as not to lose something great? That’s the challenge for these two.įortunately, Nik’s friends are totally willing to sympathize with her while also calling her on her nonsense. Love is something he just doesn’t have time for. Carlos’s dad died of a heart attack unexpectedly and he turned his grief into an overdeveloped sense of responsibility toward his family. Nik’s got some baggage from a past terrible relationship with a doctor who was just not a good, supportive guy. Naturally, there comes a moment when Nik and Carlos are no longer on the same page, and they have to figure out their issues before we can get to that HEA. Of course, Nik has her two besties and Carlos has his big family, and in the one case they provide some sanity while on the other they provide the crisis moment. That means we get to see a nice adult relationship develop with normal communication hiccups here and there as they get to know each other.
And just when you think the problem is going to be some dumb conflict about how they’re not on the same page about what their relationship is, Nik just blurts out that she’s not looking for something serious… And Carlos agrees with relief that he’s not either. One thing leads to another and Nik and Carlos just can’t resist seeing more of each other. When some cameras swoop in to take advantage of the situation, Carlos and his sister sweep in, pretending to be old friends, and smuggle Nik out of the stadium and take her to her friends. Nik is left alone in a stadium full of rubberneckers.Ĭarlos and his sister are sitting just a few rows behind Nik and watch all this drama unfold. And they don’t actually even like each other that much.Īs one would hope, Nik says no, but as one might also imagine, this doesn’t go over well with the man being rejected, and he storms off. It’s especially astonishing because they’d never discussed marriage. As one would imagine, she is astonished to see a proposal, complete with her name misspelled (this guy is a class act), on the JumboTron.
Nik is having a snooze-fest at a Dodgers game, but she’s trying to be a supportive girlfriend, so when the guy she’s been seeing for the past few months asks her to pay attention, she does. This is the story of (doctor) Carlos Ibarra and (writer) Nikole Paterson navigating their way to an accidental HEA.
Jasmine Guillory’s second novel is a stand alone story, but if you’ve read The Wedding Date, you’ve met our hero before. Plot: fooling around…j/k this is for real Character Chemistry: it sneaks up on you a little bit
