Review: Operation Prom Date by Cindi Madsen

Kate ships tons of fictional couples, but IRL her OTP is her and Mick, the hot quarterback she’s crushed on since, like, forever. With only one semester left of senior year, it’s now or never if she wants to land him in time for prom. Since she’s flirtationally challenged, she enlists Cooper Callihan, the guy who turned popular seemingly overnight but who used to be a good friend.
Cooper lives and breathes rowing, but his partner just broke his wrist. When he remembers Kate’s good with a set of oars, he strikes a deal: help him train, and he’ll make sure her crush notices her. Only he didn’t know how addicting spending time with her would be. Or how the more successful the Operation is, the more jealousy he experiences.
The mission has been set. The troops have their marching orders. But what if the target is the wrong guy all along?

Kristine's Thoughts:

** I received an advanced readers copy from Entangled: Crush in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!**

Kate and Cooper's story was not a new one. In fact, it has been done many times before. Girl recruits boy to help get her noticed by her crush. Boy and girl spend time together and unexpected feelings start forming. Sound familiar?

However...

Kate and Cooper were super cute and easy to like so it was not hard to overlook the lack of originality. Together they were adorable and I wanted a happily ever after for them. I particularly liked Cooper. He was the type of guy that I would like to see one of my daughters with. The characters were definitely what separated this book from other ones with the same type of plot.

I was able to finish this book in a few short hours and it managed to put a smile on my face on more than a few occasions. Smart characters, although somewhat misguided at times, and a cute story made for an entertaining read that left me satisfied and happy. I can't wait to read the next book in the Tactics in Flirting series!
