Zara friend zoned Asher early in their relationship when he had moved to England from San Diego. NEVER FALL FOR YOUR BACK-UP GUY is a friends to lovers romance with a puppy and an interesting twist.
Zara is fretting over turning thirty so she enlists Asher to be her back up guy if neither of them are married by the time they are 35. She goes through several trying events and Asher is always there to support her. A lot of the story revolves around Zara getting a puppy and the puppy’s antics, training, and becoming her “shop dog” to help her business.
As always, Kate O’Keeffe’s writing is top tier with witty banter, Britishisms, and memorable characters. I thought the story fell a short in the romance department. I didn’t really feel a strong connection between Asher and Zara. There are plenty of good things to read in this story, so please do.
