The One that I Want by Sandy Barker #Review #EverAfterAgencyBook3

 

We are returning to the Ever After Agency for another entertaining romcom by Sandy Barker. The One that I Want was published by Boldwood Books on 23rd July. You can read my review of Match Me If You Can here.

 
Greta Davies, the features editor at a women’s magazine, is accomplished and successful. That is, in all areas except her love life.

Determined to help, Greta's boss - and friend - secretly enlists the help of the Ever After Agency, and sets out to make her dreams come true.

Work-obsessed Greta is nothing if not stubborn, so it’ll take some creative thinking, which leads to a lightbulb moment: a new column focused on dating in the city.

With date after disastrous date, things are not looking rosy for Greta. But little does Greta know, the perfect man has been there all along. Will she realise it’s more than friendship before it’s too late?

A fun and sexy rom com inspired by the classics How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Thirteen Going on Thirty and Sex and the City.

 My Thoughts

About the Author

I love this series, with its nods to romcoms in general and the humour that comes from both the events and the characters themselves. Greta is a lovely central character with a deep reserve of independence and a stubborn streak where it comes to her work. However, when we meet her, she is beginning to question some of her decisions and wonder if there could possibly be more to life than her career. Once given a writing assignment, which is a cover for a quest to find her romance, Greta soon twigs the real reason behind her latest column. Thus follows a series of disastrous dates. She takes cover from the office in a local coffee shop- a decision which will have long lasting effects.

    As ever, the Ever After Agency sets about engineering the perfect circumstances for Greta to meet her match and as she goes along, she learns quite a bit about what she wants. In between the humour, there are some genuinely romantic moments. This is an endearing story which melds lively characters with events to make you smile. 

In short: a friends to lovers romance
