Why I love it

Helen Hoang
Author, The Heart Principle

One of my favorite things about Jasmine Guillory is that she writes heroines I admire—passionate, responsible, diverse women whom I aspire to be—and she delivers yet again in The Proposal. Nikole Paterson is the perfect combination of accomplished and vulnerable, a star you’ll love rooting for in this sweet, smart, home run of a read.

The setup is classic rom-com: After a very public, very unexpected, and very unwanted proposal on the Jumbotron at the Dodgers’ game, Nik, freelance writer, is rescued from further public humiliation by Carlos Ibarra, gorgeous pediatrician. He is her rebound, and she is his no-strings-attached relationship. But what starts as a fling threatens to evolve into so much more as they navigate mutual attraction, steamy hookups, family drama, personal insecurities, and enchiladas (let’s just say that I will never look at sour cream the same way again).

This is a lighthearted romance, full of humor and heat, but themes of empowerment and resilience give the book a dash of complexity as well. Be prepared to laugh, smile, and sigh with contentment. And then order from your favorite Mexican restaurant.

Synopsis

When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part—they've only been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans ...

At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik's rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He's even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik's social media blows up—in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes ...
