I received a free copy in return for an honest review.This is a story about Leila Sparrow who is a beautiful young lady unlucky in the dating department. She decides to enlist the help of “Date Shark” Eli to take her out on a date and confront her with what she is doing wrong so she can find her prince charming.Leila is such a loveable character as she is so complex, yet so sincere and kind, you can’t help but root for her.Eli is drop dead gorgeous, but not in the ‘I know it and I use it to my advantage’ type of way. He genuinely wants to help these women, as he is a psychiatrist.Leila’s date with Eli goes off rather well, yet Eli can’t find any real fault in her. She is quite upset about it “there must be something I’m doing to chase them away”. Eli can’t help but be smitten by her endearing presence.They decide to be “friends” as she really values his opinion on her decisions, and he just isn’t ready to say goodbye.Soon after Leila meets Luke, a fun, risk-taking photographer who is really eager to show her how fun life can be when you try new things.Will Leila be convinced life is so much better with Luke, or is she falling for her “friend” Eli?This book has everything a contemporary romance should have! There is great romantic tension between the characters, toe curling scenes without anything graphic!!! There were fun LOL moments, there were serious moments, and it left you guessing until the end.This book is by far the best book I have read in a very long time in this genre. I could not put it down, and ended up finishing it in 2 days.My compliment to you Miss Gladden!! You did an excellent job on this book!! I can’t wait to read the next one.
