Dating Do-Over

by Sally Rose

One disastrous date. Two years in the friend zone. A second chance at love?
Emily thought she had everything figured out—until a magazine quiz score claimed she was letting life pass her by. It’s true, she pushed aside her dream of studying art in Paris after inheriting the failing pottery painting studio in charming Gold Creek.

She’s turned the business into a hot spot for parties and bridal showers, and loves making every celebration a dream day to remember. But an unexpected offer to buy her shop might be a sign that it’s time to go after her own big dream.

Ben knows all about pursuing a dream. He’s living his as an adventure guide, leading tourists through the rugged mountain landscape that surrounds Gold Creek. But an even bigger dream? He wants a second chance at love with Emily. He wants to erase the disastrous first date that plunged him deep into the friend zone two years ago.

Struggling with a painful past, Emily is torn between chasing her dream or risking her friendship with Ben—and her heart—for a chance at love. With time running out before she packs her bags for Paris, can Ben show Emily that everything she’s dreamed about is in Gold Creek—with him?

I enjoyed this quick read. The only thing I didn't care for was the main characters lack of communication about important, life-changing decisions they needed to make, which seemed odd considering they had been best friends.
