When Nik gets a surprise proposal at a baseball game and needs to flee - Carlos is there to help her escape. Carlos was a supporting character in The Wedding Date and it was so fun to meet his family during this story.
The chemistry between these two is so cute and they definitely have a believable connection. I love Nik’s group of friends as well as Carlos’s family. Guillory does just a great job creating ties between her characters and making you want to pick up the next book on this series! I will definitely be reading The Wedding Date soon!
While I was sometimes frustrated by Carlos’s issues with medicine, especially as a doctor, I did still enjoy this book. I would recommend it for my romance readers, especially those while enjoyed The Wedding Date and the fun loving Carlos we met in that book!

I liked this book better than the first one! It follows the romance between journalist Nikole and Carlos, Drew's best friend from The Wedding Date, after Nik's disaster of an ex-boyfriend very publicly proposes to her. I loved how their friendship and attraction evolved, it felt very natural. They forced each other to confront their own insecurities and heal. Also, that scene with the enchiladas: perfection.
