(Better Date than Never series, Book 9)
Melinda Morgan commits to running her favorite neighborhood bakery when the owner, who's like a second dad to her, falls ill. Then she finds out his adventurous son, Nate Carter, is back in town. Nate was Melinda's first kiss and greatest heartbreak all rolled into one, yet he's still as charming as ever.
When Melinda learns Nate's dad is selling his bakery, she realizes her dream to own the bakery herself. But in order to access her inheritance funds, she must first complete her father's Carpe Diem list, which challenges her to take risks she normally wouldn't--like only dating someone who leaves her breathless.
Nate wants a second chance with her and she finds him nearly impossible to resist. Could he be the key to completing her dad's list and saving the bakery? And can he help her do both without breaking her heart all over again?
Déjà Date Better Date than Never Series Book 9 eBook Susan Hatler
This was a fun contemporary romance about second chances and seizing the day(or life) while we can and to actually live life to the fullest not just going through the motions.Melinda has recently lost her job and still has many emotional struggles that she has held onto and never tried to resolve them. She keeps herself removed from any type of relationship or moment that would cause her to be open for any pain. Little does she realize that she is hurting herself more by acting that way than actually opening up and allowing her friends, family and acquaintances to support and offer her love and friendship.
When several moments collide Melinda is forced to choose, stay in her life of stasis and sorrow or choose to live and love!
There were several moments that I could understand her fear but that just made me want to cheer her on more. So many of her regrets and sorrows were staring her in the face and allowing her a second chance to fix them for good.
This is a novella that wasn't a super short read but had lots of substance included. There were some grammatical errors but nothing too distracting. I enjoyed the writing style and the first person perspective. I really cheered for Nate hoping he could somehow break down the walls that Melinda had set up.
There were some kisses that were a little more passionate and some mild innuendos. I would say all in all though that it was a clean read with a good portrayal of not allowing ourselves to miss out on all the good around us because of a little heartache and struggle from our pasts. That's just a part of life and if we don't let it all go we will never win.
Enjoy! I know I will be reading more of this series soon. I've read the first in this series and now this one. I've enjoyed this jaunt into a contemporary novel that my next book is actually another one from the middle of this series!

Déjà Date Better Date than Never Series Book 9 eBook Susan Hatler Reviews
This series must be read in order. The first book is Love At First Date. The second book is Truth Or Date. The third book is My Last Blind Date. The fourth book is Save The Date. The fifth book is A Twist Of Date. The sixth book is License To Date. The seventh book is Driven To Date. The eighth book is Up To Date. This is the ninth book. I can't wait to read Date And Dash!
Melinda always goes for the safe path. Well at least since Nate kissed her and moved to Paris without a word... Then her dog Checkers died and to top it all off her adventurous dad died in a freak hot air balloon crash. Losing the good paying job that she hated forced her to move in with Ginger, which seems to be going well for the most part. Temp jobs are killing her... And they don't pay near enough so she needs to suck it up and beg for an advance on her inheritance (that she didn't want because she only got it because her beloved father died) so that she can make rent next month. She feels lost. When Bernie needs to step away from the bakery she grew up in, helping out seems like the right thing to do. Could she have finally found her calling? Why did her father have to put such insane requests on her inheritance? Why is Nate acting like he wants to pick up where they left off? He is to tally wrong for her... Isn't he? Will she be able to finish the list in time?
After my not-s0-pleasant previous read I was not in the mood for something dramatic or traumatic so I browsed my TBR on what to read next. I really wanted to try thriller or even fantasy but my mood won’t cooperate. Guess what always perks me up? Yep, romance. Then I came to this story, Déjà Date, and I kinda like the title so I tried the first chapter and I ended up loving it.
This story is about Melinda who had a tough childhood as she was alienated at school because she’s kind of fat and doesn’t belong to their so-called standards. She had a dog that she really really love but died when she was just fourteen then a few days after that, her best friend and first kiss took off without saying goodbye then her dad died while on his adventure ride on a hot air balloon. Then a couple of years after that, she got laid off from her job as a customer service representative (a job she doesn’t like but pays well) and been scouting for some new work when she found out about Bernie’s health condition. Bernie is the owner of Bernie’s Bakeshop which is like her second home. She offered help on running the business he’s resting for two weeks. Then, the guy who gave her her first kiss came back.
I’m always a sucker for a bad boy especially if he’s wearing black leather jacket and who rides a motorcycle, and Nate (Melinda’s first kiss) fits the bill. The moment he was introduced, he already got my attention. I don’t usually fall for sugary description of the character unless it’s perfectly written but dang! This Nate guy is just hot ok, it doesn’t even helped that he has the same name with my book fling Nate Peters who’s from Kirsty Moseley’s Enjoying The Chase haha.
Déjà Date is just a short read but it didn’t felt that way because the main leads were properly introduced and their character buildup were perfect. It started so good and ended so good too, but I was expecting for an engagement too haha. But oh well, they both have all the time in the world anyway.
For Melinda, I can absolutely relate to her character and I understand all of her concerns and why she’s so scared to take chances. She lost Nate, then her previous dog and her dad at such a young age which left her feeling alone. Plus, it didn’t helped that she was always the odd girl out in school so she didn’t have friends but only Nate. She was determined to change all that and now she’s far from that pudgy girl in high school, but because of her perfect looks now, people find her intimidating which really didn’t helped her find some good friends. It’s just so great that Mary Ann did a lot of effort to really get close to her, then came Avery and then finally having some other good friends. She was also able to overcome her fears about taking chances on Nate, all thanks to her dad’s Carpe Diem list that she needs to accomplish in order to get her inheritance. Aside from that, I also like it that she adores dogs *wink.
Nate on the other hand may look like a sexy bad boy in his leather jacket and motorcycle but deep inside, he’s actually a nice person. He’s also one of those who loves adventure (a trait he got from his mother) but totally adores his family even if his dad and his mother have broken up a long time ago. I hate it when a guy left the girl without even saying goodbye and then suddenly comes back and expects for a second chance just because he says sorry. And yep, Nate just did that. But I can’t hate the guy even if I want to, well, what can I say? The guy is just too hot to handle haha. But seriously, after hearing his reasons, I kind of understand why he did it. But even so, he should have atleast written a letter explaining everything, or even just a simple goodbye. Oh well, atleast he’s back *wink. Besides that, I also love his positivity about his and Melinda’s future. You see, I’m used to heroines daydreaming about their happy ending with the hero so when Nate told her that their love story is going to be like her parents, I was touched. This guy definitely know how to make a girl breathless.
So far, I don’t have any issues about this story unless you include the knowledge that it’s short. The conflict was very realistic and I love that Nate, despite being dumped wasn’t bitter about it and continue to love her despite all her issues and helped her overcome them. But I would also like to give Mary Ann a shout out for being a very good friend to Melinda and for also helping her to be brave on facing her weaknesses and to realize what’s really important.
It was my first time from Susan Hatler and I have to say that I’m impressed. Her writing style was so good and so smooth. That said, I can’t wait to read the other books in the series especially the next one which is Mary Ann’s story. Also, isn’t the cover looks cute? Wait till you see the other books in the series, their covers we’re quite catchy too *wink.
Despite the short number of pages, I have to say that this book didn’t fail to give a really good story of love and overcoming your fears. It’s the 9th book of the Better Date than Never series but as I’ve only read this particular book in the series, I guess it’s safe to say that it’s standalone. Oh, scratch that. I’ve just read a note in this story from the author and it seems like Melinda was mentioned in the previous books. But even if that’s the case, I didn’t find anything from this story that made me confused, so I guess it’s still standalone haha.
Overall, this is a good romantic story from Susan Hatler that despite it being short, it still managed to get my full attention. For now, I am giving this one a 4.5 star rating. If it would have been longer or if Melinda and Nate have gotten engaged, maybe (just maybe hehe) I would have given it a perfect 5 stars. But hey! The ending wasn’t that bad. It’s HEA so I guess I should be contented eh? Hehe.
Melinda cried the whole damn book! It was so annoying. This has to be one of my least favorites of the series. I hope Mary-Ann's story is better. Speaking of Mary-Ann, it really pissed me off that she showed so much love & compassion to a stranger, but treated her sister Ginger like crap in the previous book. Not cool at all.
This was a fun contemporary romance about second chances and seizing the day(or life) while we can and to actually live life to the fullest not just going through the motions.
Melinda has recently lost her job and still has many emotional struggles that she has held onto and never tried to resolve them. She keeps herself removed from any type of relationship or moment that would cause her to be open for any pain.
