❤️📖 This is a standalone book, with new characters, release day November 19th 📖❤️

This book is the right choice if you have a bad mood, because after few pages you will smile and laugh. Yes, that is the power Destiny Amor has.

A woman with painfull past but still fighting a bringing good mood and smile to people around. And even ,, Grumpy Gus''-Ryan can't resist and falls under her spell and her.

Ms. Foster did it again and brought another great book, where two people who are not atracted to each other realise very soon they are exactly what they need, but it take a little time to understand, and meanwhile we get many funny situations, I really loved Destinies rumblings- like the meeting with Ryan family and explaining his layers 🤣 oh boy ... But Ryan has really many layers and soon Grumpy changes into sensitive and caring man who tries to fight his chemistry with Destiny, but he soon learns he can't win this battle.
His family is amazong and supportive and I loved the banter between the brothers.

I can imgine to get stories for many sidecharacters, so we will see, vut until then pick up this book and have some find with Ryan and Destiny and their adorable pets.

I devoured this book in less than a day! It was a quick and fun read but also full of heart and emotions. Destiny and Fletch are both likable characters that were easy to fall in love with. I also really liked Fletch’s family. This book has great banter and the chemistry between Fletch and Destiny is off the charts! It is a little bit of a slow burn but I loved watching these two become friends first. There is a little bit of miscommunication but it wasn’t bad and didn’t take away from the story. Overall this was a very enjoyable read!

This was my first Melissa Foster book and I don’t think it will be my last. What a fun and often funny book. The grumpy/sunshine and fake dating were perfect tropes in this book.
“Fletch” the grumpy dog dad and professor and Destiny the dog groomer and proposal planner were great together. Her sunshine personality was spot on and his grumpy exterior with a soft spot for her was so sweet.
There were lots of other characters who have books of their own so I am looking forward to going back and reading those stories.

This was such a cute romance. And even though it wasn’t a full meet cute but the meeting is the park was definitely the best! I felt like it definitely suited destiny and her bubbly unorganized personality perfectly. Fletch was such a little grump that I loved him immediately.

This is such a fun and delightful read! Melissa delivered an amazing story with fun and quirky characters that will make you laugh and swoon.

Destiny is a delightful character who is has faced some tough challenges but she still has an amazing, cheerful and wonderful attitude.

Ryan “Fletch” is a grumpy businessman but on the inside he is sweet and goey.

They have amazing banter and chemistry. An easy read that will warm your heart!

Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for the complimentary copy.

From the first page I knew I was going to enjoy this book as much as most of the books I’ve read written by Melissa Foster.
The chemistry between Ryan and Destiny shines through the narrative from the very beginning.
I loved the story and just could not put the book down.
A bit of spice, a lot of romance, friendship and a good storyline. Just what this author always delivers.
4.5 stars

I enjoyed this grumpy/sunshine romantic read. The two main characters, Destiny and Fletch, were interesting and easy to get to know. Their relationship evolved beautifully and their sexy times were hot. In addition, Destiny's dog was a hoot. Overall, a solid read.

Sweet vs. grumpy romance. I've been waiting for Fletch for a while now and glad he finally got his own story. Destiny was a great addition to Melissa's series of books. I love books that can be standalone but if you know past series you can also enjoy that history and walk down memory lane.

This author is a go- to for me. So I was thrilled to get my hands on this book! This book checked all the boxes for me: Small town, dog owner, fake dating. I didn't love the short 3rd break up as it seems a little unnecessary.

Cute story! After having interacting with Fletcher through her work she wrote him off as a grump and opposite of her checklist of her dream guy. When a botched proposal goes wrong they have they’re not so meet cute. Not quite strangers but but have their real first interaction. The woman in love with live and the jaded determined to stay single man. Neither of them are each other’s ideal partner. As they get to know one another they realize what they thought they wanted is slowly becoming opposite of what they need. Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for this free advanced copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily

Could. Not. Put. This. Book. Down. I had to finish it. It gave me ideas for my own Mr.Right checklist

4 Stars for this cute rom com

Destiny's quirkiness made her so loveable, but she seemed to be pretty clueless about life ... especially for someone who wanted to start a business. Fletch tried to be this grumpy guy who didn't need love ... but he failed miserably. He kept saying that Destiny and him were only friends, but his actions said different. This book made me laugh one minute and swoon the next. If you're looking for a feel good rom com, then this is the book for you.

When Destiny's father passes away, she moves to be close to her best friend, as that's the only person she has left. She works as a part-time pet groomer while she starts her own business ... a proposal planner. When her first booking goes very bad, the groom to be offers to help her get her business off the ground. Fletch can't believe that his dog's groomer took part in that mess in the park, so he offers to help her with her business and in turn, she'll pretend to be his girlfriend for his brother's wedding, so everyone in his family will get off his back about finding his forever love. But things often don't turn out like they're supposed to.

I should have LOVED this book, but, for me, it just fell flat. It wasn't horrible, it was just meh. I read it through quickly, but it seemed to me to have just a lot of filler. It could have been a really nice short story, but it just seemed to try too much. I'm sure there will be many people who absolutley love this book, it just didn't work for me. I will admit that I've never read this author before and I may just have not gotten the nuances of the book. If this is part of a series, that may be my problem.

The writing was good, the story just was a bit too unrealistic for me.

The Mr. Right Checklist checks off all things that I love in a Melissa Foster book!! It has a couple that doesn't seem like that they go together but they really do! It has a great side characters - family, friends, and former characters from other books....which I really love!! It has romance, spice, and an interesting story line!!! I couldn't put this book down once I started!!!

I fell in love with this story the moment I started reading it and couldn’t put it down. Destiny and Fletch are amazing and their story is just a joy to read.

Destiny is a ray of sunshine, she loves love, and her personality is infectious. Honestly, she just makes you smile. Fletch is a grump, he is much more reserved, and really likes to keep to himself. These two are total opposites, yet they work so well together. Destiny brings out a different side to Fletch and I love how much he supports her and doesn’t try and change who she is.

This story is just a joy to read. It is light, it is funny, there is some spice sprinkled in. These two are a true grumpy/sunshine story. I love love love this story so much. From Destiny, to Fletch, to their two pets, and Fletch’s family. There is just so much joy to this story.

If you’re looking for a small town, grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract rom com check this one out.

Really enjoyed the story and found Foster's writing style to my liking. The pace was on point and the characters and their banter were fun. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

3.5 stars. I found Destiny to not be as digestible as Fletch. It could be that there was a lot of dialogue to make up for the 1st person POV. Not sure. I loved the storyline, although I’m not sure a proposal business would be a good venture. Still, I had fun reading. I suppose I’ll stick to Ms. Foster’s other series which are always amazing!

So this was also a sweet rom-com with grumpy/sunshine troupe, fake dating and a very cute dog!

At times, also a little cheassy (I mean she is working as a proposals-organizer) but the tension and spice, was very nice!
All in all, a quick, esay and sweet read.

Destiny Amor is the best friend we all need who will lift up our spirits and give us strength to face another day. She has experienced much heartbreak in her young life but when she looks up at the heavens and thinks about her parents, she knows everything will be alright. She is upbeat, energetic and always has a smile on her face. Destiny had a dream to own her own business and she was working hard to make it come true. Ryan ‘Fletch’ Fletcher, or “Molly’s Dad” as he is known at the pet groomer’s where Destiny works, may be devastatingly handsome and in love with his dog, but he was just so hard to figure out. He was always in a hurry, a bit aloof and not very friendly. Destiny knew Fletch was a good person because he treated his dog Molly, like a princess.

Fletch had noticed how beautiful and carefree Destiny was but he had sworn off women and romance was not on his agenda. Fletch and Destiny bumped into each one day at the park, under the most peculiar and confusing circumstances. They were both embarrassed and upset but upon much reflection, this brought them closer together. Fletch became her business advisor and confidant and in return, Destiny agreed to be his fake girlfriend. Fletch vowed to keep Destiny firmly in the friend zone but that didn't last long as she fell for his charm, his dog and his kindness. Fletch needed someone like Destiny to brighten up his lonely life and show him that true love comes from the heart and that everyone deserves a second chance. Will Fletch leave his bachelor days behind him for a life full of fun adventures, quiet nights under the stars, and long walks with the woman of his dreams? I certainly hope so because Fletch and Destiny were always meant to be together!
