Dating for Keeps

Written by Coleen Kwan

Narrated by Charlotte Kane

Unlucky in love Lily Baker is ready to get back in the dating game. But her first night out ends with the guy ditching her—in the middle of a dance floor. Wonderful. Public humiliation on top of rejection. And worse, Caleb Willmett, the sexy local contractor with an unfortunate desire to remain single, witnessed the whole thing. But where Lily sees disaster, Caleb finds opportunity.



The only long-term relationship Caleb wants is a business partnership with Lily's father, but the man won't give him the time of day. If Lily can arrange a meeting for him, Caleb promises to help her find a guy worth dating. Perfect trade. And this should be easy—just look for someone completely opposite of himself, someone who's willing to settle down.



But when Lily unexpectedly captures his heart, playing matchmaker for her becomes the most difficult job he's ever done.

Reviews for Dating for Keeps

[pam50627 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Dating for Keeps is an enjoyable read about a fun, quirky young woman named Lily trying to find that significant other. She isn't having any luck & has decided to use an online dating program. She is attracted to a young contractor but doesn't think he'd ever be interested in her.

Caleb thinks Lily is adorable. Her father is looking for a partner so he offers to help her with her dating if she helps him talk to her dad. He just didn't expect the way she'd grow on him. Will Caleb realize that Lily is the one for him? Can he forgive the past?

Caleb has to learn that love is real & he can trust in it. He has to forgive his mother for what she's done. Lily just needs to gain some confidence & not be so nervous. She also needs to learn how to deal with the bullies from school & realize they can't hurt he anymore if she doesn't let them.

This was a sweet enjoyable read & a treat to read.

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author...(netgalley) This is the third book in this series and it was just as sweet as the previous books. We had met Caleb before and loved him, well I atleast did. Caleb is trying to move back home to assist his family, so he is trying to find work and become a junior parter. He meets Lily who is awkward but original and as Caleb states a good kind of weird. Lily has had tragic dates and after her last boyfriend left her wary.. Both Caleb and Lily don't feel that they are the right person to each other. Caleb because he is not long term and Lily wants the HEA. Opposites attract my friends..Enjoy!
