Blog Tour: The Dating Charade by Melissa Ferguson


About the Book


Book:  The Dating Charade
Author: Melissa Ferguson
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Fiction, Romantic  Comedy
Release Date: December 3, 2019

Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether.

But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game.

No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong?

Melissa Ferguson’s hilarious and warmhearted debut reminds us that love can come in very small packages—and that sometimes our best-laid plans aren’t nearly as rewarding and fun as the surprises that come our way.

My Review:

The Dating Charade was a fantastically fun read. Melissa Ferguson takes her readers on an adventure with Cassie and Jett. I have to say that this is one of the most hilarious books I have read in a long time. I loved this sweet, clean and heartwarming story. It was so great getting to know these characters. There were so ups and downs throughout the book that I did not expect that made me intrigued and want to keep reading. I had no problem reading the whole book read in one sitting. It is that good.

The Dating Charade is making it on my top ten list for 2019. I would give it one hundred stars if I could. I highly recommend it for all readers who need a good, clean laugh.  I can not wait for the author to release another book to see where she will take her readers to next.

Five plus stars.

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
