Summary:

#WorstDatesEver
 
After a nasty breakup, Tally Gladstone has no interest in anything serious. But she's dipped her wary toe back into dating with a few blind dates - all bad...or worse. The only good thing to come out of it is a sizable following on social media. Her latest date is doomed from the get-go - he isn't even straight. But at least he knows someone who meets her every very exacting wish
 
#EpicHotLover?
 
American-in-London Brent O'Neill is everything she wants - on paper. He's hot, sexy and emotionally off-limits. Tally can play all she likes without getting burned. He's so good in bed he's addictive. But her millions of social media followers want disaster, not boring-ever-after. They might get their way yet-how is she going to walk away before her heart is in tatters?

  

 

My Thoughts on the Novella:

 

 

10 Rules to Sex Up a Blind Date is one entertaining & sexy contemporary story. I had so much fun reading this book. When you're in a need of pure entertainment - this is the perfect choice.

It was funny, hot & full of sexy times between the MCs, but in the end it was also quite sweet & charming. I quite liked the characters, the chemistry between them is sizzling, and they made me wish that they will make it as a couple. This story is the beginning of something new, and something good, and hopefully great, and I loved that possibility. It might not have been quite my type of story, but it was good & I enjoyed it a lot!

So, I recommend this story to every fan of entertaining & scorching contemporary romances!

Summary:

The maid of honor's to-do list for handling the best man:

 

#1 Charm him.
#2 Find out everything about him from friends and family.
#3 Size definitely matters: especially when it comes to the ego. Tread carefully if he has a big one…

 

Sabrina Millard has a plan and a list for everything, including her role as maid of honor at her BFF's wedding. The best man is a whole different matter. She knows Connor McCoy is trouble — she once had a disastrous encounter with him years ago. Now that he's supersexy and supersuccessful, it's even worse. Especially as he's just proved who's in charge by shattering her legendary control…under the table at the rehearsal dinner!

 

Connor's having fun seducing prim Sabrina. Which is so wrong — she's the ultimate good girl, while his past is…complicated. Only Sabrina has him breaking all his own rules…

 

My Thoughts on the Book:

10 Ways to Handle the Best Man is an entertaining enough & really hot contemporary story. Not quite my type of story, but I still liked it.

I can't say that I quite liked Connor with his dominant behaviour, but I liked him as a character because of everything he has been through, and how hard he had worked to get where he is now, and all the obstacles he had to overcome. He was one well-developed character.

As for Sabrina, she was likable enough, and in the end, they're the perfect match. Sure, they scorched the sheets, but what I really liked was the ending, they were actually quite adorable & sweet, and I would love for them to make it & get their HEA together. Yes, I know, they're fictional characters, but I'd like to think they have a great future together, because they deserve it.

Overall, I liked the story, and I'm interested in reading some of Heidi Rice's other works.
