Queen B’s Decree: The Dating Plan was a super fun read.
Daisy and Liam have some history. He was her big brother’s best friend and her teenage crush, but after he ghosts her and her family on prom night they don’t see each other for the next ten years. When they run into each other again, Liam is instantly reminded of the feelings he’s buried. He inherits his grandfather’s distillery on the contingency that he is married by his next birthday and that’s where he comes up with a plan.
Daisy is harboring a grudge towards Liam, but the idea that matchmaking aunties will leave her alone for at least a year and Liam’s promise to help her company convince her into a fake engagement.
Daisy is pretty type-A so she creates what she calls “The Dating Plan,” a way to convince everyone that their relationship is real. And while they both tell others that it’s fake, and themselves that it is fake, it definitely feels real. Their dates and their banter are fun and genuine. The chemistry between them was believable and steamy.
Yes, the plot was predictable and at times, cheesy. Does that take away from how much I enjoyed The Dating Plan? Nope. Daisy was sometimes too quirky and Liam was too broody but overall it was fun and easy to read. Looking forward to more from Sara Desai.
