Obviously not.” He pulled her gently to the side. “Why do we need a story about how we met? The truth is always easier. It was at a conference and you bumped into me after stealing an armload of pads.”
I love that there was character growth for both of them as well. Liam ending the book on okay terms with his brother + Daisy settling in a company she believes in. There are also more family moments with the Patels. Unless I missed it, there are random quirks (like her obsession with Marvel, and how much she cares about her dog) that actually have nothing to do with the story. Quirks are fun IF they can be tied to the story. Otherwise Hulk and Iron Man bras are just weird, okay? The book is actually second in a series, The Marriage Game trilogy, but it isn’t necessary to read the first book to understand the second or third, as they aren’t really related. The Dating Plan is a fantastic fake engagement story wrapped up with a little forced proximity and some built up angst from past situations. There are some dramatic moments, some really romantic moments, and some pretty spicy moments. i've tried a few romances with similar premises to this, but none have worked for me. idk what it is about start up culture/coding romances but they nearly never have developed character relationships. this was certainly an exception.
Her breath hitched and her lips softened. His lips were firm and cool and tasted of coffee and something sweet. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and for a moment she thought her heart had stopped. But it didn't matter. Upside down, in front of her work colleagues, she was the woman she always wanted to be. These characters are adorable, they have great chemistry, they have very well-fleshed out families and pasts, and I loved how much fun the fake fiancé thing was. I love that Daisy is really good at math and numbers and she’s obsessed with the Avengers. Her character is so adorable and quirky. Liam irked me a lot in the beginning but after I learned more about him I grew to love his character too.
Do I want one of us to be the primary breadwinner and/or decision-maker, or do I want an equal footing? Liam Murphy is a venture capitalist with something to prove. Until he realises his inheritance is contingent on being married. I can feel good about a person who has a life of his/her own and doesn’t expect to simply glom onto mine. The sparks between the two are still there. But can Daisy forgive Liam for leaving her on her prom night? Can they keep this as a business arrangement?Liam and Daisy agree for fake engagement because Liam should get married till his birthday and stay married at least one year to inherit his grandpa’s distillery and Daisy wants to get rid of her aunties’ and her own father’s pressure who push her so hard to get marry with an ideal candidate. Second, I LOVE the fake dating trope. However, the point of the fake dating trope is for everyone to believe the couple is actually together. In this book, mored than half of the characters know that Daisy and Liam are lying and they talk about it loudly in public settings/her work like it’s NBD. Only a select number of family members (on both side) actually believe their relationship is real. I won’t date a person who habitually ignores my calls and texts or fails to keep commitments (to me or others). I only want to date people who are more interested in companionship than sex. Yes, sex is important, but I’m seeking an emotional connection first, sex second. I will be cautious about a person who expects me to make all of our dating plans, or to let him/her make all of our plans.
Great Deal
