The Proposal | Jasmine Guillory

There was surprisingly little baseball in this considering there‘s a baseball on the cover. But even though it didn‘t scratch my off-season itch with balls & strikes & hits & diamond shaped fields, this book was just the cutest. I loved both of the MCs, flaws and all.

Enchiladas would have probably been a better choice for #CookingTheBooks (super cute cooking scene), but thinking this was a baseball book made me want a hot dog real bad 😀

Two more home run spins for October! My #Bookspin (tagged) is perfect for MLB playoffs (Go Rangers! ⚾️) and my #DoubleSpin - Halloween Party - is exactly right for…well, you know. 🎃 👻 🧛‍♀️

My fourth completed book for #14Books14Weeks2023 and my second for #JoyousJune. This was a cute, low stakes romance. I found it in a FLL and thought I could try it, even though I typically an no fan of romance. It was OK. I‘d probably enjoy it more on the small screen. Nikole‘s man-bun boyfriend of five weeks proposes in public and she says “no”. Enter Carlos. Neither want a relationship right now, so friends with benefits is fine for now, right?

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 A shame it wasn‘t better. 9mo
Ruthiella @Andrew65 Thanks. It was a quick read, on the plus side. 9mo

3 ⭐️ Carlos was great...for the most part. Really thoughtful, considerate, responsible, caring. I loved the support and honesty from Nik's friendship group.
After the conflict scene- it all felt disjoined. The ending was abrupt and awkward.

Meh. This one wasn‘t for me! Started off strong, then just slowed way down. I don‘t particularly like the author‘s writing style. The conversations could use some work and a lot of unnecessary details could have been left out. 2 stars. Hopefully the rest of my #LMPBC group enjoys this one more than I did!

I liked The Wedding Date more. But this one was still good. IMO, most books that are in Reese's Book Club have not been all that great. The book opened with a slap in the face and then slows down. I am really enjoying the series and I like how all the characters are connected. I've already started The Wedding Party.
3 🌟 for Nikole and Carlos.

The other night at the ballpark someone proposed to Amanda on the scoreboard between innings. We never learned who proposed, who Amanda was, or how she responded. OTOH, the boyfriend at the beginning of the tagged book gets an immediate and public response. Hint: it‘s not the guy on the cover!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ at best. This may just not be an author for me. I felt the ending was rushed and at one point I was ready to scream at Nik to get her act together. She came off bratty for me. Read this for another #LMPBC. It‘s also a #bookspin read. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I have a couple of Guillory books on my shelf that I haven't gotten to yet - they sound like books I'll like, but I've been burned by a lot of romcom-y books lately 😂 2y
KristiAhlers @TheAromaofBooks I totally get that. I‘ve been doing graphic novels and suspense reads well minus the zodiac academy reads @sprainedbrain turned me on to. Hence the reason I didn‘t finish my bookspin list last month. I HAD to read the ZA books. Too addictive 🤣 2y

I love when I have days in a row that I can just sit and devour books like this one. I have picked this one up a couple differnet times and something else always come up that is more important.
This was an amazing story. I loved every minute of it, and had a hard time putting it down. I loved the feminine point of view & how it empowers women. The ending was a bit disappointing, but it still leaves me wanting to read more of Jasmine's books.

I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. Romance isn't usually my genre, but all of the characters were so fun. And, it didn't include my least favorite "all of our problems could be solved if we just had a 5-minute conversation with each other" trope.

Alfoster That‘s so funny! I always hate rom-coms that “settle” everything with a short conversation! If it were that easy, there would be complete harmony in the world…let‘s tell Putin!🥲🤣 2y

Y‘ALL. I thought I hated romance novels. The heaving bosoms, the turgid throbbing, the ‘love of a good woman will change him‘ crap. THIS IS NOT THAT, although it still gets steamy. This novel is funny - I laughed aloud often. Nik and Carlos seem so real in the way they talk, act, mess up. Maybe I like some romance novels? Or maybe Jasmine Guillory is a good writer (who overuses the word ‘grin,‘ but at least it‘s not ‘turgid.‘) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Bookspin

💙 I fell behind a bit, but this was my favorite book in September! Although I‘m not usually a big romance fan, I love this series because there‘s more substance to the stories.
⚾️ My only problem with this book is that the main character is a Dodgers fan, so I added a couple bobble heads since the Diamondbacks are far superior.

I've been in a cheesy, romantic mood lately with all of my rom-com reading, & it's gotten me out of my almost two year (thanks Covid) reading slump. I got so much reading done on my trip to the Bahamas with my SO, but it was a rom-com come to life as he proposed!! We've been together 6.5 years, and I couldn't be more excited to continue my life with him. Just like every rom-com there were a few obstacles along the way, but I'm ready for our HEA! ❤

I picked this audiobook when I got sick and wanted something lighthearted! I enjoyed it! I probably liked it better than The Wedding Date actually. It definitely had feminist elements, and I really liked the plot and characters! A good romance if you aren‘t super into romance (which I‘m not).

Oh, hi! It's been awhile, but I think I'll dip my toes back in here. I'm rereading all of Jasmine Guillory's books while I impatiently wait for a galley of the new one. It's fun to revisit these characters now that I know them from the books they star in. And feel good fiction feels good right now.

Let me just start by saying that this has nothing to do with baseball. It's really just a basic romance. If you're looking for something light and entertaining, I definitely recommend this one. I was totally drawn in and it's not ridiculously fluffy like some other books in this category.

Simplykellyk I really enjoyed it too! Even though I totally judged it by the cover and thought it was gonna be a little more about baseball! 3y
vlwelser @Simplykellyk I was so glad this wasn't about baseball. 3y

This was a lot of fun... great characters.

Between a Pan and a so so. It‘s an okay romance overall and I love that Berkley is putting out diverse romances, however I feel like Guillory‘s characters all have the same voice even in the previous The Wedding Date. Everyone talks the same and a bit cringey sometimes. A decent intro if you‘re new to romance but not a favorite for me. Got a threesome there for my #bookspinbingo though 😎

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 3y
mcipher The dialogue is definitely a bit cringey but I still love her books - they‘re such a sweet escape without being overly saccharine or overly sexy 😉 3y

The thing that audiobooks are going to be fighting against is, would I rather listen to the book or a podcast about the book? I gave this one 46%, did the math, and decided podcast. (I will admit to being biased in favor of podcasts.) What I read of this book was: fine! Just didn't grab me.

I need to do more experimenting, but it's possible that, for me, taking the audiobook route renders romance novels just "fine". Gotta do more rereads to get enough data!

I‘m pretty open about the fact that romance is not my favorite genre. In spite of that, I was intrigued by the premise of The Proposal and Roxane Gay‘s glowing review. As someone who despises public proposals and adores Queen Roxane, I decided to give it a try. There were definitely some romance tropes that aren‘t my fave and I‘m not a romance convert now, but the story was fun.

Scochrane26 I love Queen Roxane, too 4y

I was thrilled to see Carlos get his own story & happily-ever-after. Guillory does a great job fleshing out the rest of his character, along w/his family & Nik's friends. She's building a great community, giving them other issues to care about & explore. This adds depth to their personalities & also gives the story an added layer of reality & interest. These layers result in irresistible page-turners. They're just so good & this might be my fave!
