The boy I couldn’t forget just became the man I can’t resist. Alex Walsh is the last man I want to see again. He’s charming, talented, maddeningly handsome—and the boy who once kissed me, then broke my heart in front of the whole school. That humiliation? Still burned into my memory. Now, years later, I’m stuck working with him, curating his photo exhibition at the gallery. He’s still the full package, and what's worse? He knows it. But I’m not that girl anymore. My friends and I made a pact to stop chasing the wrong guys. And no matter how much his photographs move me, or how different he seems, Alex is strictly off-limits. At least, he should be. Because the more time I spend with him, the more I wonder if the boy who let me down… might just be the man who shows up when it counts. Set in New Zealand, No More Terrible Dates can be read as a standalone novel or part of a series. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "No More Terrible Dates by Kate O'Keeffe is an entertaining romantic comedy. Larissa's quirks are the main attraction of the plot. If I were to imitate her style, I would say Larissa has a magnificent aura that entices readers to read on. Kate O'Keeffe has, thankfully, stayed far away from the popular practice of making guys drool over the heroine's physical appearance. Darcy is more than her looks. She is a romantic, but romance is not the only thing on her mind. She is organized, witty, and focused. Besides breathing life into amazing characters, Kate O'Keeffe has woven together conflicting emotions, engaging conversations, and comic moments that hold readers till the end. The story progresses at a perfect pace, which is neither too rushed nor too slow. The author has done a great job of balancing the emotions of the characters to save the story from becoming a mushy romance read. No More Terrible Dates by Kate O'Keeffe is the perfect chick-lit story to captivate and entertain readers." - Readers' Favorite ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Drinking hazard alert: do not sip beverages while reading this book.
