Features & Highlights

  • The No More Bad Dates Pact: stop dating the wrong guys and start dating the right ones - weirdos and jerks need not apply.
  • Every part of my life is a mess—and not even a hot one. My so-called career is on hold, I keep disappointing my family by not doing “something important" with my life, and I always, always choose the wrong guys.Case in point: getting dumped during the romantic vows at a wedding. I’ve officially hit rock bottom. It’s time I got serious about finding a decent man. So, I form a dating pact with two friends who are just as bad at choosing men as me. We agree to vet one another’s dates to weed out the weirdos and jerks.The No More Bad Dates pact is officially born.But when my roommate surprises me by joining the pact, he finds something wrong with every single guy I meet. Jason Christie is confident, sexy, and good looking in a movie star kind of way. Sure, we’re good friends, but he’s only ever been Jason, the serial dater. Totally off limits.That is until I start to have feelings for him. Feelings I should definitely
  • not
  • be having. Feelings like wondering what it’d be like to kiss him.No. I can’t go there. Not only will it destroy our friendship, but I know he’ll break my heart.Only now I’ve begun to fall, I don’t know how to stop.

Not impressed

Where are the paragraphs? The lack of indentions made this difficult to tell when a new paragraph was starting or who was supposed to be talking. I was looking forward to reading this series, but it left me ready to hurry up and finish to get it over.

So good to welcome back familar characters

Loved it!!!!! I love the cosy cottage series and now the follow up High Tea series. Welcome back old characters, its like catching up with a friend you haven't seen for a while. I so love this author - she is one of my all time favourite authors. I love that she is a Kiwi too. I love to take my time to get to the end so I can savour the stories, as I miss the characters once I finish the books. I am very much looking forward to the next one
