The Perfect Date by Evelyn Lozada, Holly Lorincz
2.0
I finished this book feeling like I got played. Like many other reviewers, I went into this excited for a fun, diverse romance novel and was left disappointed with a mediocre drama with a few romantic moments. Angel is a badass single mom, working like crazy to provide. She's almost finished nursing school, and as long as she can suffer through a few more weeks with her scummy, disgusting bosses, she'll be free to get a nice cushy nursing job. Caleb "Duke" Lewis a the super-famous and super-douchey pitcher for the New York Yankees. After being shot last year, his season is in jeopardy. When their worlds collide, it is more than underwhelming. I absolutely couldn't stand Duke. He was pretentious and rude and boring. I felt like Angel was the only character that was even remotely fleshed out, but you still see zero character development. I felt like I spent the entire novel waiting for the romance to happen and it just never quite got there. I wish I could get back the time I spent on this. I'd recommend taking a hard pass on this one.
