Dani has until New Year's to polish Donnie's dating skills in this clean, lighthearted romantic comedy.♥

Donnie’s been busy co-partnering a business for the past decade, but now that he has more time to invest in romance, he’s not sure how to start. Social graces are definitely not his strong suit. He's grateful when his best friend Dani agrees to coach him.

Dani knows she can turn Donnie into a gentleman just in time for the New Year’s work party. This should be a cakewalk. But when her desire to help Donnie find the one turns into a desire for him, how can she continue to give him dating advice?

What will happen to their friendship when sparks fly between them in this countdown to a new year?

The Clean Billionaire Standalone Holiday Romance Series is filled with lovable recurring characters and all kinds of romance: friends to lovers, opposites attract, second chances, and more, all with HEAs! Holidays are a festive time, but there’s something extra special about love during the holidays in Malibu Bay. . .

It is so humbling to know that a great looking guy can be shy and not know how to put the moves on a woman. A great story of love finally finding itself.

Nice story of Donnie, and Dani's friendship that turned into a love relationship. Love unexpected, but a gift for them both. I am not a fan of Donnie's father but am glad Dani's mom came around and they will have a better relationship. Beautiful holiday romance. I look forward to seeing what drama brother Derek will have to deal with before he finds his forever love.

Dani has to help Donni get polished by New Years. Problem is in helping him she falls in love with him. Poor Donni and his dates. Clueless! Will she go on helping him or give up and move away? It’s hilarious getting there to New Years Day. Have fun reading! I was offered this story to read and if I wanted to to review. I do and I did.

But the execution needs work. Donnie has a good heart but he seems way too insecure for a competent business owner in his 30s. They went from friends to more, then the romance seemed quite rushed. Then there are the typos. Not overwhelming.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2020
Donnie does a good job of meeting many of the professional goals he has set for himself in life and then when he decides to focus on his personal goals he finds he is not where he wants to be. He reaches out to his best friend Dani for assistance with dating because he trusts her. But it seems that trust is only one of the feelings he has towards her. A lovely story about friends who realize that there is more there than they thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, clean read
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020
This is the first book in what appears to be a series of clean romance stories. Dani and Donnie both work together. Donnie enlists Dani's help in getting back into the dating pool. What happens next is a short romance that will leave you with a heartwarming feeling with some chuckles thrown throughout. And some of the dates Donnie goes on, let's just say I think those chicks are mentally deranged, or at least touched and they just don't know it. Never the less, I really enjoyed the chemistry between the two characters and really enjoyed the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Idea but Not Well Executed
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021

I made it to the end, but by skipping much of the content. I started skipping not too far into the book because there were details and information that were irrelevant and seemed only to fill as they had nothing really to do with the story. Then towards the end, the story sped along from "I like you" to "I love you" and end of story n nothing flat. Could have been better if there had been romance after the "I like you", or could have been better taking out all the fluff and making this a cute short story.

This was a cute friends-to-lovers office romance. I enjoyed reading about Donnie and Dani's unfolding feelings for each other, but wish it was a bit longer! That's a compliment, though, because I wouldn't have wanted more if it was a bad story.

A quick enjoyable read that made me smile. Donnie was the ultimate nerd, but a very likeable one. A first read of a Cristina Ryan story for me
