Farrah Rochon
The Boyfriend Project

The Boyfriend Project

I devoured this fun and thoughtful romance. After witnessing many live-tweet moments on Twitter over the years, Farrah Rochon decided to turn live-tweet-gone-viral into a fabulous rom com premise: her heroine Samiah Brooks catches her three-timing boyfriend after reading about his date with another woman—on Twitter. When the three “girlfriends” Samiah, London, and Taylor go viral, they meet up, become besties, and vow to focus on their single selves by not dating for six months. With her newfound free time, Samiah pours herself into developing her passion project. But just as her dream app starts to take shape, she meets a sexy coworker who seems like he could be perfect boyfriend material. Steamy, smart, and centered around friendship, I’m so glad Rochon is continuing the series with books for London and Taylor, too.

The Dating Playbook

Author:

From the publisher: "When it comes to personal training, Taylor Powell kicks serious butt. Unfortunately, her bills are piling up, rent is due, and the money situation is dire. Taylor needs more than the support of her new best friends, Samiah and London. She needs a miracle. And Jamar Dixon might just be it. The oh-so-fine former footballer wants back into the NFL, and he wants Taylor to train him. There's just one catch—no one can know what they're doing. But when they're accidentally outed as a couple, Taylor's game plan is turned completely upside down. Is Jamar just playing to win . . . or is he playing for keeps?"

The Hookup Plan

The Hookup Plan

The enemies-to-lovers trope is the backbone of this contemporary romance: London and Drew were arch rivals in high school, fiercely competing for top of the class. Years later, they once again find themselves in competition: London is a star surgeon at her Austin community hospital; Drew is the businessman with the power to privatize or close that hospital. I loved the contemporary Austin setting: as is the case in so many of Farrah's novels, I found myself googling neighborhoods, parks, restaurants, food trucks, shopping destinations, and more so I could see the real places where the fictional story unfolds. I've enjoyed this series for its strong female protagonists, essential female friendships, and pleasantly complex family relationships. (Open door.) (Listen to my conversation with Farrah on What Should I Read Next #419: Romance is my entire personality.)
