Review: Parental Guidance

Parental Guidance Parental Guidance by Avery Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you can swallow the premise that an ice hockey team would punish a senior player for saying nothing while his junior team-mates trash talked in an Uber, said punishment being to participate in dating where your mother chooses the dates and then discusses them on breakfast TV afterwards with your date's father, then you'll enjoy this.

Caleb desperately wants to be Assistant Captain, its a position he feels he's earned, but this one mistake could cost him that coveted A on his jersey. So when his mom, a force of nature in her own right, comes up with this dating scheme, five dates with a girl of his choice using a new parental guidance dating app, he has to buckle on his skates and take it on the chin.

Zara makes miniatures for a living (think dioramas), she's never had much success with men or dating but her BFF blackmails her into joining a dating app with the promise of being her plus one at a big society shindig where she could meet a wealthy miniature collector.

Their first date isn't going well, until they both reveal that they don't want to be there - then they hatch a plan, have the required five dates, maybe have some fun, but no more. They each get what they want. There's also Zara's Great Dane called Marmite, her flaky dad and some suitably cute dates. But what happens when you want more than five dates?

This was fun, sexy, cute and had a huge slobbering dog with no boundaries. Huge fun to read.
