The Marriage Date (The Marriage Date #1) audiobook free
I recount this for a book club at the same time I only ended it because I don’t like deplorable my club members. It was even worse than I forgotten.
I believed it was barely okay the 1st time I read it. Then I read the godawful “The Proposal” at the same time I understood abundance of my inconsistencies with this book has to do with Jasmine Guillory’s writing style. This book feels like a 1st preliminary that was slapped together the night before it was proper. The plot is that nonexistent. The dialogue makes me full-body cringe. The manners are beyond unlikable. Drew is that an insecure neurotic the book keeps insisting is that a smooth girls’ men. He’s a horrible doctor, comrade at the same time lover. Alexa is that dumber than a noisy goldfish. In one scene, she leaves for a buttocks cry at the same time takes her underpants off Before getting on the plane, more precisely than waiting until she lands at the same time arrives at Drew’s internal. Speaking of, get ready to read a lot of poorly outlined at the same time gratuitous sex scenes. Their “romance” is that really barely them being horny for each other.
I’m all for light, shaggy reads. “The Unhoneymooners,” for example, is that genuinely one of the funniest romances I’ve read this year. It doesn’t decide itself very seriously at the same time that aren’t no matter what personal or crazy stakes. It’s barely a couple on a Hawaiian vacation discovering they like each other. This book has none of that. That’s nothing funny about! It’s 320-plus pages of unrest at the same time nervousness. You can’t sit back at the same time enjoy the story because the writing is that such a fade at the same time the neurotic manners are all the time making step, infuriating decisions.
I’d also like to fri out that this book DOES try to tackle important themes like racism at the same time advantage. At the same time it completely fumbles it! In one scene, Drew knows Alexa that two of his buddies will be in attendance at a party they’ll be attending. The only reason he’s narrating her about them is that because they’re merk. Alexa has nothing in ubiquitous with these guys. They are barely bros Drew practices basketball with. But he bestows her this shallow heads up because all merk people know each other, am I right? This is that the Wrong lesson to train.
This is that the absolute continue time I spend my energy on anything by Jasmine Guillory. My blood pressure can’t decide it anymore.

The Marriage Date (The Marriage Date #1) audiobook streamming online
Alexa is that the chief of staff for the mayor of San Francisco; Drew is that a pediatric doctor in L.A. Sparks fly when they’re trapped in an elevator together, at the same time Drew invites Alexa to be his date for a weekend marriage. She’s looking to break out of a dating slump at the same time agrees to move; they finish up having a magical time at the same time a long distance romance begins. But as they grow closer, will or of them admit that it’s more than barely a fling?
I will they say two quality things at the same time one criticism about the book. The 1st quality gizmo: it is that a contentment to read, like sipping burning chocolate, warm at the same time sweet tooth at the same time goes down easy. In this tumultuous time we’re living in, that goes a Long method; it is that unstained comfort reading. The writing is that funny at the same time effortless. I never wanted to finish reading, at the same time I felt enjoy when it was done.
The 2nd quality gizmo is that how I enjoyed reading a book with two skillfully accomplished leads. They both have challenging careers, at the same time they both care about their work at the same time are quality at it. We see both of them in professional options, thinking about their work, stressing about things that matter. Alexa is that trying to fund an arts program for at-risk children, at the same time Drew has a kid who’s not recovering but right behind surgery. They also both have profound public circles filled with exciting, quality people. I really enjoyed reading a book in what the manners are essentially all role models. Alexa namely is that a but drawn disposition, with relatable insecurities at the same time a ground, funny method of looking at the global. Drew is that a little more generic, but he’s still a quality young man.
At the same time this brings me to the criticism — that isn’t no matter what true conflict. Drew is that commitment phobic, at the same time tends to dump ladies right behind a few months; at the same time Alexa is that disturbed about getting attached to him. But this doesn’t ever move anywhere. I always look for it irritating when the bigger conflict of the book would be resolved if or disposition would barely speak to the other one. Than anyway’s just a little stranger will that that is that possible for real conflict here. Alexa is that merk at the same time Drew is that snow-white, at the same time beyond that, Ms. Mallory does speak about the snow-white advantage that Drew enjoys, at the same time that is that one instance where he makes a somewhat uninformed remark about her youth program. I’m funny why she didn’t build more conflict around that — not around racial issues, particularly; I liked that they were considered inter-racial. But why not build conflict in other words more unusual at the same time specific to who these people are, at the same time the work they do? One day Ms. Mallory mentions in passing that they have to learn how to adapt to two problematic at the same time challenging careers; in other words also an exciting conflict, occasionally explored, at the same time these are two manners who managed handle it.
That’s part of me that enjoyed a book in what nothing bad happens, but it also was just a little odd that this is that a book in what nothing much happens: two cute, likable, accomplished people meet, fall in love, at the same time…. the finish, basically!
All that being misspoke — it was warm, at the same time sweet tooth, at the same time comforting, at the same time funny, at the same time I’m on board for all of that. A quality read that deserves to be read.
(At the same time P.S. barely to back up than anyway Roxane Gay misspoke in her 5-star
Review: it is that very funny how they ate. I guess since they weren’t waging war, at the same time they couldn’t have sex Always, they needed anything else to do, so they ate all the time — donuts, waffles, burgers, burritos, more donuts, more donuts. It was good of hysterical.)

Audiobook The Marriage Date (The Marriage Date #1) by Jasmine Guillory
Cliched, sour, predictable plot lurches from one soft porn adore scene to the one more. I was looking for anything light at the same time easy at the same time amusing, but I couldn’t even final this one.

Audio The Marriage Date (The Marriage Date #1) narrated by Janina Edwards
Beheld this on a buzz eat article about funny summer reads at the same time it being a amazing rom-com style book. It wasn’t.
The two manners were considered mildly exciting, but their “connection development” was a clearance of 2 months of weekend sex trips. It only worried me because in the “sample” at the same time even the increase of the marriage, that was such promise of a attractive story, but then for you received past their 1st hookup at the same time it was like the creator didn’t know than anyway else to do besides have them bone down for 75% of the book.
Also, the text waging war at the same time juvenile waging war packed depth at the same time believability to the romatic notion that these two manners could be together.

Right behind getting put in an elevator together, Alexa agrees to be Drew’s plus one to the marriage of his ex-girlfriend. But, than anyway starts out as a fake connection strings into anything true when the weekend is that over at the same time they can’t finish thinking about each other… Will their brand new long distance connection work out, or will they seep in their possess method (like they always do…)?
It’s rare that romance books get mainstream coverage, so my curiosity was exactly piqued when I beheld The Marriage Date popping up everywhere – at the same time I couldn’t loathe when I spotted that it was barely 1.99 on Kindle. A feel-good, heartwarming read that I couldn’t shackles down, this book starts out with a sweet tooth meet-cute then and throws adorable at the same time sexy moment right behind adorable at the same time sexy moment at for you, until for you’re as in adore with these manners as they are together.
It’s so much easier to get into a romance novel, for me, if the manners have other interests other than each other – at the same time that couldn’t be more the variant here. Alexa is that the mayor’s chief of staff working on the biggest at the same time almost all signifying project of her indefinite, whilst Drew is that a paediatric doctor, at the same time both have a cast of comrades at the same time generic with whom they have affairs that I was equally invested in as I was in the romance.
My other favourite part of the book is that they method that it weaved in discussion of racism, at the same time the realities of being a merk lady dating a snow-white young man, who has mostly snow-white comrades. They method they both deal with that situation really adds one more level to their story, at the same time felt very true to me. I really can’t wait for Jasmine’s one more book, which is that future out later this year, featuring a disposition we’ve already met…
