Single Dad Seeks Juliet, an all-new laugh out loud rom com from New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe is available now!
Dear Internet: Am I a horrible person for wanting to sabotage my work assignment—completely wreck a dating contest—because I hate the idea of love?
I know it sounds bad, but just hear me out, okay?
I (33F) work at a local paper, and two months ago, my editor assigned me a huge project—run the upcoming, highly anticipated Bachelor Anonymous contest.
In essence, I’m supposed to help a reader-nominated bachelor find his special someone, and while I should be excited to handle something of this magnitude solo, I can’t help but get queasy over how gross it feels.
Like, how cheesy could this thing get?
Not to mention, I’m the last person who should be involved in this—my dating and relationship history is a cluster. Generally, the person in charge of these things shouldn’t fantasize about lighting the whole three-ring dating circus on fire.
Anyway, men from all over Southern California, vying for the coveted bachelor role, submitted their personal ads to my paper. The readers voted, and Single Dad Seeks Juliet won by a landslide.
Enter Mr. Bachelor Anonymous (40M), the single dad Romeo seeking his Juliet.
Blah, blah, blah, right? Wrong.
You guys—and I cannot stress this enough—this guy is the ultimate man in a six-foot-three, chiseled-muscle, freaking Adonis package with aquamarine eyes that would haunt the dreams of an insomniac.
He’s a former Navy SEAL, successful business owner, motocross-riding, charming, supportive, funny-as-heck single dad, and the more time I spend with him, the more I want to bring this contest thing crumbling to the ground for an entirely different reason.
Real talk: I think I’m falling for him.
Me, the woman who despises love, might be falling for the completely off-limits Bachelor who I’m ironically assigned to help find love, while five other women think they’re the only contestants competing for his heart.
So, Internet. Am I scum? Or is all fair in love and war?

***
This was a cute, Hallmark movie type of book. Single Dad seeks Juliet is a standalone book and it Jake and Holley's story. Holley is a newspaper writer. Jake is a single dad with his own construction company. Jake's teenage daughter enters him in the newspaper's Bachelor contest and he wins, before he knows he's even entered. He isn't interested in dating as he has been focused on raising his daughter, but she is heading to college soon and wants to see him settled and happy. So he accepts the position and enters the contest to make his daughter happy. Also, it helps when he meets the beautiful reporter, Holley, who is running the contest. As he and Holley spend time together planning dates for him, the two start to develop feelings for each other. Will Jake find love with one of the bachelorettes or with Holley?
I found this story cute and entertaining. I did find the romance a little too slow moving and a lack of chemistry and heat. It would be perfect for a Hallmark movie where the couple gets together at the very end, but I prefer a bit more heat in my books (and movies). Jake and Holley were cute, but most of the book is spent with her trying to set him up with someone else. He didn't realize that it was Holley he really wanted soon enough for me and he wasn't a go-getter enough to go after her himself as soon as he realized it. I felt bad for Holley because she realized her feelings for him much sooner, had to watch him date others, and there wasn't any other men interested in her. Jake wasn't really interested in the women he dated either, so that did help. There were a few big topics they never discussed about Holley's childhood and the couple's future together that I felt should have been discussed. So I did feel the book could have been a bit better, but it was still an entertaining, very light, easy read. I liked both Holley and Jake as people and I enjoyed Jake's daughter in the story.
Overall, this was a pretty good read and I did enjoy it in general, even if it was not my favorite Max Monroe book. I do look forward to more from them in the future!
