The Wedding Date Proposition

by Kim Loraine

One simple proposition led to a bargain that changed my life.

There's nothing worse than going to a wedding alone, especially when I'm the last remaining Wilde brother in a town determined to see me tied down.

The meddling little old ladies in Sunrise would love nothing more than for me to fall for one of their granddaughters. Trouble is, I'm not the marrying kind. They just can't see it.

But I've got a solution that'll throw them off the scent of single man they've been following. Her name is Clara Barnes, and she's my perfect match. Why? Because the last thing she wants is a husband.

She'll be my date, and I'll be her wingman. What could go wrong?

I absolutely adored this prequel novella to The Baby Proposition. I am sure that Maverick and Clara are going to get themselves into quite the situation before this whole thing ends.

OVERALL:
Was I entertained? It was ok. Did I like the story? It was ok. Would I read the first books in the series? Yes.



TRIGGERS:



****I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read. I based my book reviews on my preferences and what I like, and while these preferences may not be the same for others, I hope this review was still helpful.

This is perfect!

I love when authors write prequel novellas to get us excited about their new books! That is exactly what Kim Loraine has done with this one.

Mav and Clara are friends, they have been for a long time. Clara is a strong independent woman and doesn’t want to wait for a man to help her with the next stage of her life. But once Mav finds out what she wants to do he gives her an option she couldn’t believe.

This little novella is the perfect appetizer and I can’t wait for the main course!

Maverick and Clara are two friends who decided instead of going stag to all of the upcoming weddings in their towns they would go together. No strings, just friends hanging out together, except when Maverick finds out Clara wants to have a baby he decides he will be the guy to help her. After all, he just wants to be a good friend...right? This is the prequel to the baby proposition and I think it will be even better than this novella.

This was the first book I’ve read by this author and it was a very interesting read. The prequel builds some of the back story between Maverick and Clara as they go to several weddings as each other’s plus one. Clara mentions her desire to have a baby with donor sperm, and Mac volunteers to donate surprising himself and Clara.

Great peek at what's to come in The Baby Proposition between Maverick and Clara! Who know what's going to happen to these friends. Will they become lovers? Love the banter they have and also seeing old friends from previous series. Kim never disappoints!

Ooooo this little sneak peek at Clara and Mav’s story has me so excited! Even with that little bit, there’s no doubt the chemistry is scorching and I just know I going to love their full story even more!

[Barbara Cuyler · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not crazy about novellas or prequels. I'd rather read something that's more in-depth. This one did its job though, piquing my interest about what will happen next. Sounds like things could get really interesting.

Ahh that was really cute and I can't wait for the full novel now! 😍😍😍

[Jamie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a nice way to meet Mavrick and Clara. Now onto their story and see how it turns out.

[Lisa Stinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a cute little novella to get you ready for The Baby Proposition. Can’t wait to see what Maverick and Clara get into.

[S.K. Talkington · Rating 4 out of 5]

Need more

Can't wait to read the rest of this story. And I'm going to have to go back and read the rest now too. I'm a sucker for cowboy romance.

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good prequel setup for the story, but not much meat to it as far as character and relationship development, but more like a sneak peek, which will hopefully be remedied in The Baby Proposition.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Help each other out

This was a good prequel. Both Mav and Clara have had feelings for each other for years but contigo deny it

[Books on Stereo · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid prequel novella that forecasts a steamy ride.

[Ashton Michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the cutest little novella and so easy to fly through it. Maverick and Clara are the cutest. I see "dating my best friend" being the theme for The Baby Proposition. What a cute little intro.
