Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of Recipe for Love and You Might Just Get Burned comes a funny, sexy, and modern romantic comedy about friendship, dating, and discovering love where you least expect it.
Dylan, Ivy, and Brooke are successful, brilliant, confident, and beautiful. And yet, they find themselves in their mid-thirties and very single. Tired of searching for her Mr. Right and finding only Mr. Wrongs, Dylan comes up with a plan to solve all of their single-lady woes.
The plan is simple: Each friend will refer men they already know who would make perfect partners but just aren’t right for them. The ladies must then navigate the ups and downs of dating their friends’ referrals in the hopes of finding the One. But will they actually each find their perfect match, or will the plan cause fractures between them and the men they’ve referred—or worse, among each other?
Witty, sexy, and filled with relatable dating drama, The Referral Program is perfect for fans of romantic comedies and Black love stories. This heartfelt and entertaining novel will make you want to delete your dating apps and ask your friends if they’ve known your perfect Mr. Right all along.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ray (Recipe for Love) delivers a fun but slightly underdeveloped contemporary that's as focused on female friendship as it is on romance. Thirty-something Dylan is expecting a Christmas proposal from her longtime partner, Ace, when he dumps her instead. Devastated and dreading her reentry into the dating scene, Dylan relies on monthly brunch dates with her (equally single) best friends, Brook and Ivy, to keep her sane. During one such get-together, as they share romantic advice and bottomless mimosas, an idea forms: instead of relying on dating apps, the friends will start a "referral program," taking turns setting each other up with different men in their lives. The ensuing quest for Mr. Right comes replete with comedic mishaps and personal growth as each woman learns about herself in the process. It's a cute premise, but unfortunately the plot moves slowly, and though the dynamic between the women is endearing, romance readers will be disappointed that none of the romantic relationships feel as fleshed out. It's not perfect, but Ray's fans will still want to check this out.
