The Perfect Date by
Evelyn Lozada is the story of a hard-working single mother who is used to challenges.
As a pregnant teen who was abandoned by her son’s father and losing her mother soon
after, Angel has learned to deal with everything with a small support system. Angel
Gomez’s goal in life was to finish nursing school and provide for her 7-year-old
son. Love is not in her plans. Caleb “The Duke” Lewis is a star pitcher for the
Bronx Bolts whose escapades made him a common topic in gossip columns. As he is
trying to get back into the game and keep a low profile socially that Angel doesn’t
recognize him when they met twice in the same day. When Angel fails to fall for
his usual charm, he decides she’s perfect. She is the perfect woman for his plot to fool
the tabloids into thinking he has changed his ways. But as the charade begins,
it soon becomes apparent that something else could be there. Will they be able
to play their part? Or will love find a way in?
The Perfect Date started
strong for me. I loved Angel’s Puerto Rican sassiness and her commitment to her
son and her school. Unfortunately, the book fell with each chapter. I found
myself not caring about Duke and his issues. I found some of the language to be
very harsh and abrasive at times. I kept telling myself that it was how some
people talked but it irritated me. I don’t allow people to talk like that
around me in real life so why am I reading it. I really wanted to love The Perfect Date as I love romance
novels, but I didn’t even like it. I do not recommend The Perfect Date.
The Perfect Date
