While We Were Dating
An instant New York Times bestseller!
One of TIME Magazine's 100 Must-Reads of 2021!
Two people realize that it’s no longer an act when they veer off-script in this sizzling romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory.
Ben Stephens has never bothered with serious relationships. He has plenty of casual dates to keep him busy, family drama he’s trying to ignore and his advertising job to focus on. When Ben lands a huge ad campaign featuring movie star, Anna Gardiner, however, it’s hard to keep it purely professional. Anna is not just gorgeous and sexy, she’s also down to earth and considerate, and he can’t help flirting a little…
Anna Gardiner is on a mission: to make herself a household name, and this ad campaign will be a great distraction while she waits to hear if she’s booked her next movie. However, she didn’t expect Ben Stephens to be her biggest distraction. She knows mixing business with pleasure never works out, but why not indulge in a harmless flirtation?
But their light-hearted banter takes a turn for the serious when Ben helps Anna in a family emergency, and they reveal truths about themselves to each other, truths they’ve barely shared with those closest to them.
When the opportunity comes to turn their real-life fling into something more for the Hollywood spotlight, will Ben be content to play the background role in Anna’s life and leave when the cameras stop rolling? Or could he be the leading man she needs to craft their own Hollywood ending?

This is book 6 from The Wedding Date series.
It’s a cute story about Ben who works for an advertising agency who happens to be the only black person presenting for an ad campaign commercial featuring Anna Gardiner and Anna, the commercial’s star noticed how well-spoken and attentive to detail he is. Everything was going fine until the rest of Ben’s team came in and tried to overtake the presentation. Their pitch has suddenly started to fall flat. It’s clear Ben is not the lead for the ad commercial and if Anna has anything to say about it, Ben’s company will get the campaign with one hitch, Ben be at the helm and not his boss.
This adorable rom-com is good as they address anxiety, being emotionally unavailable until you meet the right person, panic disorder, and a lot of mental health and how to get help. I enjoyed the story but I felt Ms. Guillory started to get too much into mental health awareness and thus, felt forced. I did however enjoy the characters and their growth which was very well developed.
There are some explicit sex scenes so blush alone or let it out and blush proudly.
For those who were wondering, Ben is Theo’s brother from book 3 and yes, they are back and this time, they are helping Ben out by leaps and bounds. So what happens? I won’t divulge anything. Instead, I will keep all the fun secrets hidden in a suitcase. Yup, that’s a hint. ;)
