Book Review: There's Something About Molly by Christina Hovland

Mommy Wars Book 2

Molly Princeton hasn’t met the right guy. Yes, she’s a dating coach, but she’s also a single mom with a rocky relationship history. She may be able to help others find love, but she doesn’t really need it in her life. Happiness doesn’t require falling in love. Winning a matchmaker competition, however, requires being part of a couple. And darn it, she needs to win this one. That’s when she sets her sights on Gavin Frank—the one man she would absolutely never fall in love with.

Gavin is her nemesis, her best friend’s ex, and yeah, okay, he’s sexy as sin. He’s also off-limits. But she’s out of other options. Plus, Gavin could use a fake relationship to keep his meddling mother from setting up blind dates with every available woman in the Mile High City. There’s no way he’d fall for Molly. None. Nada.

The two quickly learn there’s a thin line between hate and love, and she finds herself tipping onto the wrong side. For the first time, she doesn’t have all the answers. What the heck is she supposed to do next? Lucky for her, Gavin realizes there’s something about Molly he can’t resist…

My Review:

Every good girl friend knows you never fish in your bestie’s pond, but what happens when one of her fish jumps into your boat? Angst-y and emotional. Silly, sweet, and steamy, this book had a little bit of everything. I am so excited to know my wish came true and we get to come back to this ensemble of characters for more outrageous stories and outlandish shenanigans. Because, really, this story wouldn’t be what it was without the supporting cast pushing Gavin to step up and be his best self and calling Molly on her self-delusional baggage. The message I resonated most with in this story is that “martyr” isn’t a good look on anyone, no matter how much more important you think someone else’s happiness is over your own. And also, that quiet children on their best behavior means that something unfortunate has just happened, or is about to. I realize that I’ve only just finished this book, but I already can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen next for this group of fabulous women.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through NetGalley.
