One Bossy Proposal by Nicole Snow

I have read many of Nicole Snow’s books from Heart’s Edge to the Grumpy series, so I am a fan.  I didn’t like this book.

I thought it was too long.  By the 30% point the combative banter between Lincoln and Dakota had gone from “cute” to “really annoying”.  And it never stopped.  They kept rehashing the pastries, the connection to Poe, and prior wedding woes.  I couldn’t see why anyone would like someone who talked to them the way Dakota did much less let them work for them.  

Other than the part with Wyatt, we never saw the big picture that made up the theme of the story - the marketing campaign for the wedding line.  Very little time was spent surrounding this innovative idea they had, then just like that it was gone and never heard from again.  How did they end up doing the marketing for the wedding line?

So, the first half of the book could have been cut in half.  The last half could have left out some personal interactions between Lincoln and Dakota and expanded more on the story.

I received an advance copy of this book to read and this is my voluntary review.
