Publisher Description
Loretta D’Angelo doesn’t want to get married. Being dumped by her fiancé just months before her wedding was fine with her. She loves her life as a single woman in New York City, indulging in gourmet ice-cream, getting the occasional mud-mask facial, and working for a tacky talk show that specializes in screaming and scrapping among its philandering guests. If only she could tune out her pushy family and their constant match-making attempts.
Josh Kaplan has no interest in getting married, either, although maybe he ought to. He’s been with his girlfriend Melanie for years, but for some reason he just hasn’t felt the urge to pop the question. He’s busy fighting for tenants’ rights and playing chess with his elderly friend Solly, who’s got women problems of his own. Melanie is busy, too, although what she’s busy with, Josh isn’t sure.
When Loretta’s job suddenly hinges on her being hooked up with a blind date on the show, Josh is the ideal foil. He has no more interest in a romance than she does. He’s got Melanie. And if Loretta pretends he’s her boyfriend, her family will get off her case.
What could possibly go wrong?

Fun book
I loved this book! A different premise than most HEA books. Too often the main characters are madly in love 15 minutes after they lay eyes on each other. This allows the characters to actually form a friendship with no expectation of love. For Loretta, love is absolutely not on her list of things she’s even interested in. For Josh, he’s in a relationship with a woman who has moved thousands of miles away for her new job. But he’s a good Jewish boy who believes in loyalty. Both are adamant that they only want friendship. Now who really believes that?
