Dating Goals by Gigi Blume: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

It started with dating lessons. It escalated to dodging bullets on a mountaintop.

Meet Griffin McGregor.

Hockey heartthrob.

Dating coach.

Accidental secret agent?

Griffin is the top goalie for the Toronto Titans. But due to an NHL lockout, he signed up for a temporary contract with a Swiss team… and got a meet-cute with a gorgeous, fist-throwing bartender.

Anika Gisler is sweet, blunt, and completely inexperienced in the dating department. She’s also in desperate need of a coach before her upcoming blind date.

And Griffin agrees to help. (For purely selfless reasons. Obviously.)

But when suspicious things start happening and Griffin ends up going undercover to expose his corrupt boss, the pair is dragged into full-on spy games witha side of international espionage.

Shaken, not stirred.

We’re talking train fights, ski chases, secret tunnels, and a poker game with suspiciously well-dressed villains. It’s very James Bond-coded. Good thing Griffin’s seen every 007 movie ever made.

Also now he’s falling hard—and may or may not be ready to burn the world down to protect the girl who’s never been kissed.

This is the final book in the Toronto Titans series, and it’s going out with a bang. Don’t miss the most epic, action-packed, slow-burn finale yet.

***Dating Goals content: This is a closed door, kisses only (but oh, what kisses), no-spice romantic comedy. The MMC is a cinnamon roll, and the FMC has never been kissed. It's all quite wholesome, but there are a few mild swears and light innuendo sprinkled in. Also, this is a high-adventure story with an accidental 007 adventure. Expect non-graphic fight scenes, chase scenes, supervillains, and alcohol consumption. (Hello, martini shaken, not stirred)

The Author

Gigi is a USA TODAY bestselling author and hopeless musical theatre nerd who has perfected the art of lollygagging.

Former professional wedding singer, Gigi lives in Southern California with her personal chef (AKA husband) and two weird and awesome teenagers who take after her more than she’s comfortable with. Quoting movies and pop culture with her kids is one of her favorite pastimes. A Hufflepuff and die-hard Whovian, she’s convinced magic is really a thing, still believes in Santa Claus, and finds miracles everywhere.

When Gigi's not writing about swoony book boyfriends and the women that bring them to their knees, she likes to belt out showtunes, embarrass her kids, and get distracted by her dog.

Book Review

James Bond meet hockey romance, never been kissed AND a dating coach!? All of the books in this series have had a little hint of mystery or adventure that made them really fun... but this one definitely took that to the next level... and I was absolutely here for it! Right from that meet cute, I was laughing out loud... seriously, what a way to start a story! And the laughs didn't stop there! Griffin and Anika had such a fun dynamic between them- the chemistry was undeniable, and the banter? Oh, so good! I loved them! And then comes those 007 moments which only made it that much better! I absolutely couldn't put this one down and found myself unable to keep the smile off my face. I have enjoyed every single book in this series and while I'm definitely sad to see it end, it most certainly is going out on a high note--- my favorite of the series! If you're looking for a laugh out loud romance with all the James Bond vibes (and references), this is absolutely one you won't want to miss! 

Dating Goals is a closed-door romance with kisses only with minor innuendo and language. It is the fourth and final book in the Toronto Titans series, and while you will see some familiar characters, I do think it could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
