review 1: 3.5 stars. Kelsie Collins had a bad marriage, an emotional divorce, and a plan for a bad date escape book. Her best friend Nanci and her mother Melinda helped out by setting up blind dates just a little too often.When Kelsie tries to escape from an especially horrifying blind date, she gets rescued by hunka hunka burning love firefighter Cole. And then it happens a second time – a bad date, fudged escape, and rescue by Cole. It has to be fate!Kelsie and Cole go through customary ups and downs in their short but intense relationship before a delightful, realistic happily ever after.The novel is funny and fresh. Lindsey Brooke writes a straightforward romance with easy, natural dialogue — especially between Nanci and Kelsie. She writes an awesome subplot, too: Nanci and ... moreCole’s friend Joe hit it off in a different but still big and romantic way.Operation: Date Escape is great fun… lighthearted chick lit romance with realistic characters and laugh out loud moments.ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
review 2: A real girlie Rom-com! great story of a divorcee hurt & damaged being set up on bad dates by her bestie & mum hoping that she will find the real deal. Well she does & it's a rocky road with firefighter Cole. Enjoyed the story but wasn't as deep as I hoped it would be. Less descriptive guidance through the story. Loved the bestie & mums relationship & also the male version of besties - Cole & Joe - there is no difference between true best friends regardless of gender! Felt ad though in places the conversation was stilted. But Great humour & comedy demonstrated, but I found myself having to 're-read a lot of the passionate scenes, not for any other reason than the way it flowed - I felt as though the writer was very aware of boundaries but that might have restricted the way the relationship fired up. A good book & a good read less
