Blurb:
One thing I learned this week: DO NOT flirt while at a client’s wedding. (especially with anyone in a tux)
Success-driven Hope Fletcher has some lofty goals for her life. But is it really too much to want a thriving cake design business by age 29? Marry a perfect (emphasis on the perfect) man by age 30? Then have the kids, dog, and house in suburbia by age 34? If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Dean. Wonderful, dreamy Dean who loves kids (and will eventually grow to love dogs) steps into Hope's world. He's the exact type of man she's been looking for and she starts falling. Hard.
But will Hope's perfect image of Dean crumble when she finds out about his past?

"I was just trying to emphasize my relationship status in case it interests you."
Ahhhhh Dean, he was...dare I say, PERFECT?! 😏😍

Wow. Just wow. This was such a sweet, cute, heartfelt story with a perfect (yes, PERFECT) balance of humor and vulnerability. Being a type one/perfectionist myself, I felt Hope’s struggles...I felt them so much, and I loved getting to see her character development as she worked through those struggles.
And despite my comment about Dean being perfect, he definitely had his flaws (as we all do) but he was THE perfect guy for Hope. As a couple, they supported each other, they balanced each other out, and they made each other better people.
Oh! And I absolutely adored how clumsy/awkward Hope was!! I really related to that aspect of her as well! 🤣👏

Can we have some highlights?! YES. PLEASE. (Some of which I made notes on while reading 😉)
"Because I'm not sure I am ready to let go of controlling everything," I answer truthfully. It was so refreshing to do so.
Note: sobs
I can't tell y'all how much I felt this.
📖
I was all for a good alliteration, but he seriously needed to work on his delivery.
Note: yasssss for alliterations
📖
My fingers fumbled to turn off the love ballad, but not before Leigh finished the last chorus, begging her man to kiss her.
Note: oh noooo. i would die lol
📖
As smoothly as possible , which wasn't smooth at all, I grabbed my water bottle and chugged half of it before clearing my airways.
Note: when in doubt, drink water
I am SUCH a big water advocate, lol. 🤣
📖
"Why don't you hire help?" He asked.
Because I'm an illogical control freak . "I know, I should. I'm just not quite ready to yet."
Note: a type one? ask for help? hahhhhh
📖
He tilted his head. "Just as long as you don't run yourself into the ground. You know it's okay to ask for help. You can't do everything."
His words sent a spike of irritation through me. Why did everyone think I needed help?
Note: ooffff
Dean was SO sweet here, but I totally understood Hope's frustration.
📖
His fingers tightened around mine and I glanced up to see him studying me. "What?" I asked.
His expression melted into a smile. "Nothing, just trying to figure you out."
"What do you mean?"
He winked, a gesture I normally hated when a man did, but somehow it seemed adorable coming from him. "Just trying to figure out how a girl like you is still single."
Whelp. That’s it. I was officially marrying him. He was too good to be true. "Well, that makes two of us then."
Note: oh my goshhhhh
