About the Kitty Valentine Series
Spin the wheel. Date the guy.
Six years ago, Kitty Valentine took the book world by storm when her sweet debut romance hit number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list, which was followed by a string of successful releases.
Her latest novel, however, totally bombs, causing her editor to suggest she write much sexier books. To Kitty, writing smut is the literary equivalent of stripping. But with no advance coming in and her royalties dipping to an all-time low, Kitty has no choice.
Armed with a hot-guy spinning prize wheel, made by her best friend, listing all the different types of men she will date and then write about, Kitty will be spinning--not stripping--her way back onto the best-sellers list.
My Review
Like its predecessors, "Kitty Valentine Dates an Actor" was a ton of fun to read. I loved this fast-paced, funny, sweet story and highly recommend it for all fans of romantic comedy and chick lit.
In this installment, Kitty's mission was to date an actor, and she turned to the Internet for help in finding one. Sadly, social media was not kind to Kitty at first, serving up a number of unwanted dick pics and other not-so-pleasant messages. Despite that, Kitty managed to connect with a reader who was part of an actors' group, through which she met her "research subject," actor Rafe.
Rafe wasn't my favorite of Kitty's love interests so far, even though
she was obviously smitten with him. He seemed much more interested in his craft
than in her. I can't fault his focus or drive; I'm sure they're absolutely necessary to succeed as an actor. That said, Rafe didn't really seem to be in the right
headspace for any kind of relationship, casual or otherwise. It wasn't a surprise to me when things didn't work out between them. At any rate, I'm still rooting for Kitty to end up with her neighbor/frenemy
Matt. I love the way those two banter and tease each other!
Kitty's best friend, the lovable yet snarky Hayley, went through a tough time in this book, but I continue to adore her and the way that she and Kitty support each other through thick and thin. Kitty's grandmother and her butler/beau, Peter, were also back in this installment. They are the sweetest couple, and Kitty's grandmother consistently makes me LOL with the outrageous things she says.
In conclusion, the Kitty Valentine series seems to get better with every book, and I can't wait to see what's up next for Kitty and her friends.

"Kitty Valentine Dates a Best Man" was yet another cute, funny addition to the Kitty Valentine series. Lovably quirky lead character Kitty was especially snarky and funny in this installment, and I enjoyed the fact that she was able to spend so much time with her best friend Hayley as well as visit a new place. Kitty needs to get out of her comfort zone sometimes!
While this wasn't my favorite of Kitty's adventures so far, I think she experienced a tremendous amount of growth in this story. She learned a lot about herself and what she's
willing to accept in a romantic relationship. I also appreciated that Hayley's sister Kylie finally pointed out the obvious chemistry between Kitty and her neighbor/frenemy Matt at the end of this installment. I am firmly on Team Matt and hope that the two of them end up together in the end. Their banter and teasing is always a lot of fun.
Overall, I enjoyed "Kitty Valentine Dates a Best Man" and recommend it for all fans of chick lit and romantic comedy. I look forward to the next book in the series.
