High Tea #1-3
High Tea Box Set
3 laugh-out-loud and heart-warming romantic comedies by bestselling author Kate O'Keeffe. Three friends form the No More Bad Dates Pact: stop dating the wrong guys and start dating the right ones — weirdos and jerks need not apply.
NO MORE BAD DATES
Twenty-five-year-old Sophie McCarthy's career is virtually nonexistent, her family expects her to "do something important" with her life, and she's totally sick of dating the wrong guys: the self-absorbed, the arrogant, the borderline criminally insane.
After she's unceremoniously dumped during the vows at her boss's wedding, she and her two equally disappointed-in-love best friends agree to help each other find decent guys to date. Together, they form the No More Bad Dates Pact: stop dating the wrong guys and start dating the right ones — weirdos and jerks need not apply.
When Sophie's roommate Jason Christie — a.k.a. doctor-in-training and serial nurse-dater — joins the pact, he vows to weed out the bad ones for her. But with his rejection of every guy Sophie meets, she begins to wonder if he's got an ulterior motive. And anyway, why does she always have so much more fun with Jason than with the guys she's actually trying to date?
While desperately seeking her "happy for now," could Sophie stumble into her "happily ever after?"
NO MORE TERRIBLE DATES
Twenty-five-year-old personal assistant Darcy Evans likes to be in control of her life. But there's one thing she can't get a handle on: men.
Sick of terrible dates, she makes a pact with her friends to only date good guys. But it's tough out there. From the liars and cheats to the positively weird, where's a modern day hero when you want one?
Then, when her boss buys an art gallery, Darcy's forced to work with photographer Alex Walsh. He's a blast from her past and definitely not hero material. Ridiculously handsome and charming, he's all those distracting things Darcy doesn't need, especially when she can't forgive him for what happened back in high school.
With Darcy holding out for a hero, will she miss the perfect man right under her nose?
NO MORE HORRIBLE DATES
What do you do when you've agreed to a dating pact with your best friends, but you're stuck in a fake relationship with the last guy you'd ever want to date?
Twenty-five-year-old Erin Andrews has got a problem. She works for the country's most successful rugby team but a bitter past tells her all pro sports players are self-satisfied, arrogant jerks. There's no way on this sweet Earth she'd date one. That's why she agrees to a pact with her best friends to find good guys to date, and for her that definitely does not include guys like the "Wild Boy of Rugby," Nick Zachary.
So, when Nick is in desperate need of a reputation rehab, the big bosses turn to her as the nice, ordinary girl who can get his image back on track. For Erin, being that girl is the last thing she would ever want to do. That is until she realizes just how much being Nick's high profile fake girlfriend can do for her dream of becoming a fashion designer.
But playing this game of make-believe begins to feel real, and Erin wonders if the "Wild Boy of Rugby" could be her happily ever after...

Humour and romance. What an amazing combination. Makes you want to keep reading. Don’t miss out.

This is a three book RomCom series about three best friends, Sophie, Darcy and Erin living in Auckland, New Zealand.
Book 1 - Sophie and Jason
Book 2 - Darcy and Alex
Book 3 - Erin and Nick
This was a deliciously fun read with many laugh out loud moments all told from the female perspective. Each book had snarky banter and a good storyline and my favourite in the series was the last book about Erin and Nick. The books may be humourous but there is a depth of character portrayed in each story which made the characters believable and relatable. These books are clean (only kissing). Each book is standalone but interconnected, so it makes more sense if you read it from Book 1. I wish that the author had written an epilogue 5 years later, that would have tied up the series perfectly. A thoroughly enjoyable book series and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Fun read
I really like this author. She tells a fun and humorous story of Romance, without the need for bedroom and sex scenes. The characters are relatable, funny and likeable. This is the second series of books I have read by Kate O`Keeffe, and look forward to reading more of her books.

Hurrah 3 wondering stories!
I chose this rating because it deserved it. All 3 were laugh out loud funny, but the 3 ladies got into some real jerk situations. I hate I am done reading them.
I want more!

Quite enjoyed this series. The author has a writing style that is kind of laid-back and easy to read. Good storylines and real fun characters. I am just not a fan of playboys, and was a little put off by how badly these guys treated their gals at times.
