So why can’t Cicely stop thinking about the dance they shared at their mutual friends’ wedding—or the mutual attraction she felt in C.J.’s arms?As far as C.J. is concerned, Cicely is a snob whose “passion” in life—writing for fashion magazines—is as pretentious as she is. So why can’t he keep his eyes off her? C.J. has a business to run. And Cicely has a job opportunity in Paris. Neither of them even has time to think about romance right now. But maybe, just once, the two could test their friendship…with just one kiss.Show Notes: - Sponsored promo for The Rebellious Rancher - Introducing Lauren, the blogger behind Literary Dates- Shoutout to author Sarah Smith for making the connection - preorder Sarah's new book, Simmer Down (00:02:53)- Dating IRL vs. Dating book boyfriends- How long do you have to live in NYC to be a legit New Yorker?- Coming Soon: Literary Dates in other States...- Where to find & follow Literary Dates (00:17:43)- Selecting a romance novel set in NYC: With Just One Kiss (00:18:48)- Synopsis for With Just One Kiss - Lauren recommends: Sarah Smith, Skye McDonald, & Colleen Hoover- CJ... the book boyfriend of our dreams (00:29:19)- The great tea controversy- Shout out to My Worst Date Podcast - Virtual speed dating: yay or nay?- Cicely & CJ: a match made in romance- A delicious romance... do not read hungry!
