Review: The Dating Contract (Last Girls Standing, #2) by Stacey Agdern

Sports Agent Leah Nachman is knee deep in her sister’s wedding drama and inches away from her biggest career goal when she runs into the high school boyfriend who broke her heart. The last thing she needs is another confrontation with the man too many people are convinced is her bashert. But perhaps he can be of use. After all, she’s totally over him. Right?

Sofer and Comic Letterer Samuel Levine is at a professional crossroads when he runs into what he believes is a fated second chance. He hasn’t seen Leah in ages, but the guilt over how they broke up still eats at him. When Leah proposes a fake ‘dating contract’ to help her make partner at her agency, and thwart her sister’s matchmaking, Samuel agrees. His goal is forgiveness, after all.

But the more time they spend together as ‘plus ones,’ the more like fate the dates feel. Leah is convinced love and ambition can’t co-exist and Samuel’s convinced he’s losing her. Will they let their dating contract expire or give love another chance?

 

My Review: 

Forgiveness and a sweet second chance.

Former high school couple, Leah and Samuel, get a second chance at love when they decide to fake dare in order to advance in their careers.  Spending time together reminds them of what they once had and how it might be possible to have it again.  But they have to learn to put the past behind them and move into the future with a clean slate.  I enjoyed seeing this sweet reunion.  The story was easy to follow.  I liked all of the Jewish faith woven into the story and I learned something about the world of lettering and sports agents.  It really gave a good feeling of who these characters are and what their lives are like.  I highly recommend this inspiring feel-good story.
