His Personal Relationship Manager

Dating by Design, Book 1

By: Jennifer Peel

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

After suffering a very public humiliation, Kenadie Marshall realizes that love shouldn't be left only to personal judgement. Instead of wallowing in her misery, Kenadie creates Binary Search, the perfect balance between a software application and human intuition to help others find true and lasting love, all while personally swearing off relationships for good.

Attractive and loveable Jason Hadley is taken with Kenadie from their first meeting. Determined to prove that love isn't over for her, he does everything he can think of, even if it means using her firm's service and dating other women to stay close to her. Jason quickly gains a rally of supporters, including Kenadie's over-enthusiastic mother and meddling best friend, but will his ploys help Kenadie find her match, or jeopardize everything she's created and lead to further humiliations? In an epic battle of wills, this romantic comedy shows that love is patient, love is kind, and love can heal even the most broken of hearts.

Great Characters Come Alive

What does Nancy Peterson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nancy does a great job reading this book! My favorite character she does is Kenadie's mama, I love that sassy southern accent! She gives great personality to the characters and her inflections are fantastic. I have to admit that I wish she read just a touch faster, but that's because the story is so engaging I'm always dying to get to the end!

Any additional comments?

As with all of Jennifer Peel's books I think her characters are so fantastic. Kenadie has a tender heart that she's doing her best to protect. She strikes a tough balance between vulnerability and strength. Jason is so kind, the perfect gentleman, much to Kenadie's consternation. Zander, mercy, what a character. Sometimes you want to join Kenadie and smack that guy, or hug him for being the soft mushy center that his facade hides.

Sassy mothers, hilarious adventures, and all the feelings are packed into this book where Kenadie figures out whether opening her heart up again is worth the risk!

Don't Miss This Fun Rom-Com 😋

This is a fun Rom-com that has likable characters and witty dialogue. The plot is refreshingly different and quite entertaining despite some predictable moments and a shortsighted, yet likable, main character. Very enjoyable and a winner for those who like quirky characters and funny scenes. 😊

Nancy Peterson narrates wonderfully. She never disappoints me.

Note: I would give this a 17+ rating. There is some swearing and sexual situations that weren't detailed.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Cute, Fun, Full of Humor!

What made the experience of listening to His Personal Relationship Manager the most enjoyable?

Love the characters in this book. Her Mom pushes her to date, so she'll get married and give her grand babies. She's reluctant from getting burned in the past. Her best friend is obnoxious, but I'm excited to read his story soon! Maybe that will mellow him out some :)

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jason is my favorite character. He takes all the joking in stride. He seems like an easy laid back guy, fun to be around.

Which character – as performed by Nancy Peterson – was your favorite?

All of them, Nancy did a great job narrating this book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, it is full of humor. Loved her mom and her mom's friends.

Fun, easy listen

The story was good. I liked the twist "Dating by Design" adds to the story. I wish we had some more details of Jason's backstory with that, but it wasn't necessary.
I thought the narration was fine. Personally I didn't like how she portrayed Xander; however it was effective.
I'd recommend this to someone wanting an easy, relaxing listen.

Great book

Loved it! Good clean romance! Cheering at the end of the book. I love happy endings, but you'll have to read it to see.
