REVIEW ➞ The Introvert’s Guide to Speed Dating by Emma Hart

BLURB ➞

Speed dating: the act in which you have two minutes to figure out how much of a jerk someone is. And pretend like you don’t have the hots for your son’s soccer coach.

After four years living the single life, it’s decided that I, London Stuart, am back on the market.

I’m not even mad when my cousins and best friends put my name down for the speed dating sessions. In fact, I’m actually a little excited about it.

Until one of my dates turns out to be my six-year-old son’s irresistibly sexy soccer coach. His irresistibly sexy British soccer coach.

Oliver Hayes is too good to be true—he’s tall, dark, handsome, hilarious, and he genuinely loves kids. Especially mine. But he’s not sure if he’s even staying in the country, and I’m not sure I can handle giving him my heart if he’s only going to leave.

So why is he over for dinner almost every night? Why is he giving Leo private goalie sessions in the backyard? Why is he sending flowers to my desk at the newspaper?

And why, oh why, can’t I stop kissing him?


This was a very, very bad idea. Capital letters Bad Idea, actually.


ARC REVIEW ➞

London is a single mom to Leo, an adorable six year old boy, and she is also being forced into some interesting speed dating sessions. Oliver is Leo’s soccer coach and really the just seems to go to be true. The man is caring, handsome, patient and most of all he loves kids…there really should be something wrong with him and I don’t blame London for instantly crushing on him.

I loved the chemistry between London and Oliver from the start. I loved the bond that Oliver also formed with Leo.  There are so many super sweet moments between Leo and Oliver throughout the story and I love that Oliver see’s potential and wants to help Leo be the best he can be, but also he becomes a great male influence in his life. Doesn’t help it also means he gets to spend some more time around London.

The Introvert’s Guide to Speed Dating is a fun, light, quick read that is full of steam, swoony scenes and of course, plenty of laughs.

If you’re looking for a single mom, rom com this is one to check out.
