Synopsis
The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date.
Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on.
Exactly what I needed after my breakup.
Or so I thought…
Until my real date arrived.
Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date.
I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.
But my real blind date and I had no connection.
So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.
When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.
Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.
Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy.
A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.
You guessed it: Dimples.
Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play.
And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.
He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.
Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?
Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

My Review
📚'THE SUMMER PROPOSAL' 📚
Is a full length, stand-alone romance book by Vi Keeland. Spoken in Dual POV's.
I started this last night in bed and pretty much inhaled it from that point onwards. This author has an uncanny knack for pulling us into her storylines it seems without effort, where you don't look at the clock ticking away in the background, you ignore how tired you are and just stay in the moment.
It all started when twenty-eight year old workaholic Georgia agrees to go on a blind date with an ordinary, nice looking man organised by her mother's seventy-four year old friend. That there should've been her first clue when instead she's sitting beside a man that belonged on a cover of a magazine. When the real Adam turns up and claims his rightful spot, Max passes off a hockey ticket to Georgia with hopes that she shows up.
With a date that didn't spark anything, on a whim she decides to head on over to the game she has a ticket for. Thinking she'll be sitting beside Max she does a double take when a player on the ice takes his helmet off and she recognises Max.
He's got a summer free from playing, now he's got a summer proposal he hopes she'll accept.
This was a slow burn, slow moving easy to get it's hooks into you kind of read. Even though I really enjoyed this one I did find the pace a wee bit too slow for me as our heroine Georgia held back for most of the story so it took it away from me full out loving it a wee bit, but Max more than made up for it. This man is the kind of man I love to chase in my books, the perfect hero that had me swooning, giggling and loving everything this man embodied.
This reads exactly how it's set out in the synopsis, so your not blindsided, though Georgia does have a decision to make and Max has to decide what's really important in life.

Yeah, you see that there... Georgia would probably annoy me. I'm so glad this still ended up being a winner for you :) 🌺
