He can’t date, she doesn’t date…but what happens when they fall in love?

A heartfelt romance that isn’t afraid to tackle serious issues for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Colleen Hoover and all the best ‘Tiktok made me buy it books’!

Dr Lily Galbraith solves her city’s love problems with wisdom and wit every week on her widely popular Love Doctor podcast, but her own approach to romance centres on one goal: staying single. So when a meet-cute in the sauna brings gorgeous Jay Hooper into her life she knows she needs to run the other way.

Having just agreed to a bet with his sister that he’ll stop dating and searching for ‘Mrs Right’ for at least six months, Jay tries to ignore the attraction he feels for Lily, which is only intensified when they find themselves working together.

He can’t date, and she doesn’t date…but then again, rules are made to be broken, aren’t they?

T/w: mention of past violence and abuse, PCOS

Well this had an unexpected level of appeal for me which I discovered within the first few chapters, as Dr Lily Galbraith's best friend is a drag queen, and I do love anything set in the world of drag. 

And there is certainly a lot of that storyline, and multiple trips to the local drag club in Bristol.  Ok it wasn't the main focus of the book, but as supplementary storylines, it really made me smile. 

And the initial chemistry between Lily and Jay is rather off the charts, even if for their own stubborn reasons they are determined not to do anything about it.  

It's a will they, won't they romance that keeps you guessing throughout, with a very entertaining journey.  There is good character development, and I also enjoyed getting to know Jay's sister Cassie, as well as both Lily and Jay's jobs. 

The book alternates between the two characters point of views, so we really were able to get to know the characters very well. 

I loved the two different view points of dating / love / relationships, of the two leads, and just how they could clash but also have fantastic off the charts chemistry. 

This was a really enjoyable story to read, which I loved. 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
