Simply Adorable!! Destiny and Fletch may seem like complete opposites and their first encounter might have been one for the record books, but through grit, determination and a whole lot of chaos the two find exactly what they did not know they were looking for in each other. Especially since Fletch checked off none of the boxed Destiny had in her Mr. Right Checklist. Melissa Foster encompassed the best in storytelling and surrounded it with simply adorable characters and not to mention a cute dog too.

The Mr. Right Checklist b Melissa Foster
Rating: 4/5
Release Date: 19 November 2024

Destiny Amor, a dog groomer with aspirations of becoming a marriage-proposal planner, firmly believes in true love and happily ever afters. While she hasn't found her own yet—let's face it, who can meet all the criteria on her Mr. Right Checklist?—she's determined to help others find theirs. After a disastrous first attempt at playing matchmaker, Destiny is ready to throw in the towel, until the supposed groom-to-be makes an unexpected proposal of his own.

Ryan "Fletch" Fletcher, a divorced professor who's sworn off love, is desperate to fend off his meddlesome matchmaking family. Seeing Destiny's disorganized but passionate approach to love, he sees an opportunity. He offers to help her streamline her business if she'll pose as his devoted girlfriend at his brother's wedding.

A professional arrangement with her grumpy dog-grooming client? Destiny can't resist the chance, especially since she adores his pup. She's confident she can endure his grumpiness if it means advancing her business and maybe even helping him shed his cynicism about love.

This romance was truly delightful. I found myself thoroughly engrossed in their love story. Ryan embodied the perfect grumpy character who managed to be romantic effortlessly, and Destiny's unwavering cheerfulness despite her past struggles was heartwarming.

The Hero and Heroine have such a natural chemistry that it's hard not to root for them.

Despite a few misunderstandings, once they begin to open up to each other, the story becomes incredibly comforting and engaging—you'll find it difficult to set the book aside.

While there are some touching moments that may bring tears to your eyes, the majority of the story is filled with laughter and hilarity, with plenty of comical moments to keep you entertained.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Montlake, and the author, Melissa Foster, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Absolutely fantastic story that gripped me from the start. Loved the 2 lead characters. They definitely didn't disappoint! The book had good pace and the romance felt believable. A little bit of steamyness thrown in and we are all happy :)

** spoiler alert ** Me lleve una grata sorpresa, no esperaba que me gustara mucho.


Destiny quiere abrir un negocio de propuestas de matrimonio, pero por el momento trabaja en una estética canina que es el lugar en donde conoce a Molly, la perrihija de Fletch.

Fletch es maestro, tiene una perrita llamada Molly, con todo el mundo es un gruñon, es divorciado y ya no cree en el amor.

Hacen un trato en donde él le enseñara todo lo que se necesita para tener un negocio exitoso, a cambio ella fingira ser su novia para que su familia lo deje en paz y ya no le organicen citas. Ambos intentaran resistirse e ignorar sus sentimientos, pero conforme pasen más tiempo juntos se enamoran. Ella quiere encontrar el amor, pero él no cumple con su lista de requisito, él no quiere volver a casarse ni tener hijos, no quiere saber nada sobre amor.

La escena de las estrellas fue muy bonita y me encantó la propuesta de matrimonio porque fue tan ellos.

Me gustó ver el crecimiento de Fletch, pasó de estar encontra del amor, ser amargado a enamorarse perdidamente de Destiny y hacer todo para hacerla feliz.

Esta muy fea la historia de Marshal, pobrecito.

Grumpy/Sunshine, Fake Dating, Friends to Lovers, and fun frisky pets, what more could you need for a great romance.

Destiny's dream business is setting up perfect proposals. On her first job everything goes horribly wrong. She actually sets up a perfect proposal for a stalker. It's even worse when the groom to be turns out to be Grumpy Gus, father of Molly, the sweet dog she grooms.

Ryan, AKA Grumpy Gus, does not believe in love, and after his failed marriage, never wants to get married again. After hearing Destiny's business plan, he agrees to help her in exchange for her being his date to his brother's wedding. They both agree knowing that neither is right for the other. Destiny has her checklist for Mr. Right and is looking for forever, and Ryan is only looking for something casual and never wants marriage.

This is a cute romance. I enjoyed their love story. Ryan was the perfect grumpy character that was romantic without trying. Destiny was always happy regardless of what she has been through in her life. I absolutely loved that Ryan called her Sunshine, such a fitting name for her.

If you like Grumpy/Sunshine, Fake Dating, and Friends to lovers' tropes you will love this book. There is even a little jealous MMC added into the mix.

Thank you NetGalley and Montlake publishing for this book in exchange for my very honest review.
