Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager Four Stars
Dating the It Guy is a YA, High School Coming of Age story by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. The characters are amazingly detailed and the emotions had me all over the place. I was laughing one minute and reaching for a tissue the next. This is one book I couldn’t put down, it brought back memories of my high school time many years ago. I would recommend this book to anyone no matter their age. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Hager.

So I love office romances so I was very excited going into this, add in fake romance/dating then I’m like yes give it me. This was a really easy enjoyable read. There were a few moments that I chuckled to myself in this book. I’m struggling to read lately so the fact I read this shows a lot. Really enjoyed this book I’m going to have to read more from this author because I thoroughly enjoyed her writing too!

Ever want to read a romcom that unfolds like one of your favorite binge worthy movies? Are you like me and miss the classic Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan banter or watching Sandra Bullock hilariously carry another comedy toward a happy ending? This book was just such a fun read for me. The characters were real and I loved the witty dialogue. It unfolded before like a beloved Saturday afternoon flick. I love this author’s ability to pull me right in and cannot wait to read this again.

Dating the Intern is Natalina Reis’ new romcom, and my new favorite book of hers. She is one of my go to authors. I like her writing style, and her attention to details. This book held my attention from beginning to end. My emotions were all over the place with this one. My thoughts are that it is a great book, if it makes you laugh out loud or sob like a baby. This book did both. Ivory and Li-Qiang are great characters with some hot chemistry. This book was just what I needed to de-stress for a few hours. Looking forward to reading more from Ms. Reis in the future.

DATING THE INTERN by Natalina Reis is a very fun rom com, with humor, romance, emotion, and more. Ms. Reis really knows how to write her plot in such a beautiful fashion that she hooks her readers from the very beginning. She includes all of our favorite things for a good rom com and gives us just enough drama to keep us on the edge of our seats. Personally I loved that this story was a little more light-hearted then some stories, proving to be the perfect short rom com that you need in-between more serious stories.

I was pulled into and captured by this beautifully written book by Natalina Reis. It’s a Romantic Comedy that touches on dealing with trauma and with verbal abuse. I normally read more fantasy/syfy type books but this one caught my attention and held it. This book was funny, sweet, sexy, and just full of love. Ivory Towers is a successful business woman who runs a dating company but has a hard time with finding love herself. When the opportunity comes to promote her business by letting the world see she not only gives great advice but lives by it as well she freaks out and accepts the help of a very attractive intern -Li Qiang- who has been watching her for quite some time. What started as a fake relationship to save face really blossomed into a very real love story. I will be quick to pick up another book written by her, it’s been so long since I enjoyed a romance like this. Also her use of Mandarin words and phrases throughout the book was such a great way to bring the character to life.

This one starts out with a premise we’ve seen before – for one reason or another, a woman finds herself in a bind due to a little white lie that snowballs quickly. Ivory, matchmaker by trade, tells a reporter doing a feature on her business that she has a boyfriend, and now needs to find one PDQ! Enter sexy young intern Li Qiang, who volunteers to fill the role and save her skin, and hilarious hijinks ensue. Ivory is a tad on the clueless side, and seems to be unable to assess the information in front of her as to whether or not her burgeoning real feelings for the intelligent faux beau are reciprocated or not. Putting that aside, this story does actually go to some interesting places emotionally, adding some depth and shadow to the pairing that is pretty interesting. The book is romantic, whimsical, and sultry with some nuance to the characters I found entertaining. A good read.

This story is good although not one of my favorites by this author. The story moves along at a nice pace and the characters are very down to earth. I just really struggled to feel the connection between these two characters. At times it would show up with his character but hers it just never came. She is a successful owner of her own company who has a lot of inner turmoil and hidden issues. I was just surprised someone who built their own company would act the way this character does.
I really enjoyed his family and her friend they were all good secondary characters. The younger brother added some comic relief to the story.
Overall I enjoyed the characters and the issues that were brought up are very true to form. It moves along and has a nice flow.

A fun and quick read to enjoy on a weekend. Well worth the purchase. This author was new to me. i enjoyed her style of writing as the main character is shy and you can see it in the writing. The plot is very entertaining. Who doesn’t enjoy reading about a developer who makes a dating app yet doesn’t have an SO? I always love these stories as the scramble is on to find one. Her assistant is both smart and hot? Bingo. Their interactions were well-developed and realistic, funny too. For a book nerd like me (yes, I admit it!), this book hits all the right spots. Run out and get it, go order or do whatever you do to read it. Highly recommend you read it.

This was my first book by Natalina Reis, as well as an age gap where the woman is older. I assumed this book would be very cheesy from reading the description but found out during the first few pages it’s very natural. Ivory Tower’s skepticism with love is very relatable and doesn’t seem forced or cliche. While reading the book at first I did think it was a little weird that the author repeated the character’s full name like “Li Quang” and “Amber Lee” consistently, but I found it helped the characters stick in my head. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author.

This book was so much fun to read. Something light is just what I needed to read and this was perfect. Ivory is a successful business woman that owns her own online dating company. She helps find love for everyone else whom become her clients except for herself. Li Qiang is one of the interns at Ivory’s company and 10 years younger in age. When a TV station would like to feature Ivory and her company and get to know her on a more personal level with her “boyfriend” there is one issue….Ivory does not have a boyfriend. In comes Li Qiang to the rescue. Can they pull off their fake “relationship” or does it turn into something truly real? I loved this book…definitely worth the read!

Dating The Intern is a great contemporary romance by Natalina Reis. I have read a few of her books before and have really enjoyed what I have read and was looking forward to reading more of her work. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others. Ivory Tower owns a very successful online dating business but when a TV show wants to feature her, they want to see how her love life is going. The problem is that Ivory is single. That’s when her gorgeous intern Li Qiang steps in and offers to play the part of her adoring boyfriend. Li Qiang is 10 years younger than her and is drop dead gorgeous. How can she help but not fall for him. Ivory is gorgeous and successful so how can Li Qiang help not falling for her? I loved reading Ivory and Li Qiang’s story. I’m a sucker for a fake romance and an office romance and this book encapsulates both tropes very well. I loved both characters. They are very well written and very relatable and their interactions make for very entertaining reading. If you like and office romance or a fake boyfriend romance then Dating The Intern is the book for you.

Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis a light-hearted and sweet five-star read. I enjoy reading this author, they always have a fresh twist to what ever they write, and I enjoy the writing and the story. It was fun, watching what started as fake and just something to keep others happy ended up showing a much deeper happiness. This has some great characters and set ups, these story is deep enough that you feel the connection but not so deep that you get bogged down, if you are looking for light, funny and charming then this is for you.

I devoured this book in one go. Gahhh, Li Qiang was so flipping sweet. The whole dominant, manly man alpha male is great and all, but sometimes I just want to read a sweet romance where the guy is so good it’s adorable. That’s exactly what I got from this. And as much as Ivory started to drive me crazy with her second guessing everything he said, it’s relatable. Sometimes insecurities do sweep in and try to sabotage good things. Also, I adored Wei’re! Such a lovable little side character!

Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis 4 out of 5 Stars Dating the Intern is such a sweet book. I loved Ivory and Li Quang. I loved the relationship they had before, and I loved the relationship it developed into. Ivory is a CEO of a successful dating company and Li Qiang is an intern in her office and is nearly ten years younger. When a mishap with the local TV station occurs, Li Qiang offers to pose as her boyfriend, believing it will solve all the problems, but it may just cause more. This book was beyond adorable, and Reis is an incredible author. The only thing I wish I had more of was learning more about Li Qiang’s success and why he was an intern. A solid 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a new author for me but based on the title and book cover I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be disappointed. And I was right. This turned out to be a great romantic comedy. I laughed from the beginning chapter right up until the last page. Her characters were so warming and inviting, and she really has a way of writing about family dynamics that if like me, you find yourself wondering if this is your family. I wondered at times of some of this was based on actual real-life events because she did such a beautiful job describing what was going on. I felt like I was watching it all unfold before my very eyes. I can certainly say that she has quite a way with telling stories that made me laugh so hard I cried. I promise that this will not be the last book I read by this author. I look forward to many more.

Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis is a romance filled rom-com with just the right amount of drama. It is very unique compared to other books in this drama because the main character, Ivory, is very flawed which makes her all the more real and likeable.
Ivory is the CEO of a dating company but with no love of her own. When she gets offered publicity, it is brought to her attention that if she doesn’t have a SO, it looks bad. Li, Ivory’s intern, offers to be her fake boyfriend to the public.
Ivory struggles with very low self esteem, stemming from an emotionally abusive father. One element of this book that I really love is watching Ivory grow into her own and battle her flaws head on.
The author uses a lot of food metaphors. I would suggest not reading this book on an empty stomach or you will be drooling and starving by the end of it. I sure was.

This is such a fun story. The author brings us into the story from the start. I know I can identify with Ivory in a lot of ways. I Love the family bond with the culture of the Chinese! Just wait to see Ivory and the relationship with her own father unfold!! I can see this one turned into a movie.

What a cute idea for a story, it makes you wonder if it is really possible to happen. Running a dating service but not matching yourself up, but able to match others. A fun and easy read. Author Natalina Reis makes it a natural flow. A good romance to lighten your day.

This story was everything that I didn’t know I wanted. I love watching rom-coms and reading YA or supernatural types of novels, but this book was perfect. It was a light read that made me cringe, laugh, and smile with my whole heart.
Ivory Tower is a successful businesswoman who is running her own dating service. She has a not-so-great history with her father and looks down on herself because of this. She is obviously a beautiful soul inside and out, but I think that we can all relate to having someone or something in our lives that makes us feel less than we are. So, what is the big problem? She isn’t dating anyone herself. Network execs want to do an interview with her and her “beau” and she agrees without thinking it through! Thankfully Li-Qiang (our hunk of this story) is an amazing intern and offers to fake a relationship with her – for the sake of the business and her reputation, of course.. This story has everything a wonderful light romance comedy needs: flirty looks, learning to stand up for yourself, a surprise reveal, a nosy family, and a whole bunch of laughter. Ms. Reis did a fantastic job with this story and I look forward to reading more from her! Pick it up. Enjoy the read. You won’t regret it!

I have found yet another great summer beach read in Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis! Not the common romance novel I normally read, but definitely enjoyed the coworkers to lovers storyline. Natalina has written two very relatable characters in Ivory Towers and Li Qiang. This age-gap comedy will have you rooting from the very beginning for the two of them to find happiness with each other. You’ll just have to read to find out if they do! I’m very excited to read other works by this author.

Dating The Intern by Natalina Reis is a brilliant book that will really keep you absolutely enthralled. This is quite a short story but is one that is full of romance and sweetness. This author really does know how to create a brilliant story that pulls readers in and makes you fall in love with the characters. I don’t normally like books where the male character is younger than the female. I find it normally feels forced and unbelievable and I find myself growing bored of the story. However with this book I was completely sucked into it. I engaged with the characters and I really grew to love them both. The only thing about this book that I found myself cringing at a little was the name “Ivory Tower!”. I thought it was a little cheesy and a bit off putting. However it doesn’t detract at all from the story or from how much I liked Ivory. This author has really become one of those that I don’t hesitate to pick up her books. Most of the time now I don’t even read the description, I just go in blind and see where it takes me. I have never yet been disappointed. Her books are always well written with fantastic storylines, this been no exception at all! I would highly recommend this book.

This was such a fun read I absolutely loved it. I loved the banter between the characters and I loved that it was such a light hearted read, such a pleasure to read. I have read books by this author previously and I’ve really enjoyed her writing. Ivory was so great to read about and Li Qiang was such a lovely person. I really enjoyed reading about them together. The secondary character sin the story were really good too and definitely added that extra layer to the characters’ lives. Overall, a really fun and refreshing read and one that I would highly recommend! I can’t wait to read more from this author again!

I absolutely loved Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis. I read this rom-com in just a couple of hours. It was a story of a woman, Ivory Tower, who owns a dating service and due to a journalists insistence, finds herself in a predicament where she states she has a long term love but in fact does not. This leads to Li Qiang, her intern, stepping up to be her fake boyfriend to get past the live TV interview. The story of these two leads us into a love that was meant to be all while adding depth to the characters with the family dynamic that plays out.

This was such a fun rom com to read! I had a blast reading it, and I had more than just a few moments where I laughed as well as smiled. The story and the characters were more than just engaging. And between the two main characters there was more than just them, it was their family as well that greatly impacted who they were in this story!
Ivory is basically someone powerful and successful in her career, but still she longs for the acceptance of her father. Sadly, I think even she knew from the start of the book that earning that respect would be hard to come by in more ways than words can express. Throw in Li Qiang her intern who is younger than her agrees to pretend to be in love with her in hopes to win over her father at long last. He lives in a different world than she does family wise. He seems to always have had the love of her family and when the two individuals get together with his family its sheer bliss and I think Ivory saw this is something she wishes she had all the time. As love stories go, you can only pretend so long before you begin to catch real feelings, but how can you be sure the other is as well? And how do you know when its not just pretend anymore? Matters of the heart do tend to be questionable at times, doesn’t it?
The story was full of so much happy feelings at times and a lot of love as well! The novel was a quick read as I got very much invested in the characters and I kept hoping they would find what they both deserved, but maybe even knew they wanted in life! It was a care free read, and the author gave us as the readers, a fun read, that was more than enjoyable and I surely enjoyed it till it’s final page! Wonderful read!

This is such a cute story! Natalina Reis did such a great job at making the characters engaging and relatable. With a little twist here and there, a story that may have started as predicable became original in a cheeky and lovable way! Descriptions were on point and the flow was perfection! Non-traditional protagonist/antagonist situations makes this story even more original and fun to read.

I absolutely enjoyed this book! I was engaged from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down. As a 37 year old woman, there was a lot of relatable ideas to the main character, Ivory. I will say, I am fortunate to not have the confidence demons that she has and I got so frustrated for her trepidation throughout the book.
I liked that the story was light and moved smoothly. The plot kept moving and all of the details were relevant to the story. I would definitely read more books by this author!

The rest of the story did not disappoint either, it kept its tone from the very beginning for sure! Natalina Reis is an author to look for in the future. I also loved that the author added a bit of a personal touch at the beginning with a forward, a guide to dating vocabulary and the Mandarin words and phrases used. That was a really nice touch.

Natalina Reis writes in a way she has you feeling for her characters. Her novel Dating the Intern appealed to me in ways I enjoyed, but also brought up memories from a painful past. Don’t let that deter you though, just keep in mind it could be a trigger warning that’s all. Li Qiang is such a sweet and selfless character who would do anything for his boss, Ivory Tower, since he’s been crushing on her for a long time. A character I grew to love and rooted for as I got deeper into the novel. Ivory on the other hand drove me crazy, but I feel like that was more on a personal level vs how the character was written. I’m Ivory through and through. I may not be a business owner but that’s the kind of abuse I suffered in my past from my father, which makes it hard to accept love today. Though a novel about a fictional romance, it made me take a deeper look at myself and how I’ve overcome the same obstacles in my life. I know this review sounds really sad & depressing but it’s not meant to be that way. It’s meant to just describe how Natalina’s novel impacted me emotionally. It’s not very often I get that emotionally invested in a work of fiction, but in the end I LOVED IT!!! If a writer can have you connect to their story in such a way you evaluate how you handled things, doesn’t that make them a GREAT writer. Was the story a trigger for me, slightly but I’m glad I read it then reflected upon my life. If you’re looking for a story to emotionally impact you in such a way you evaluate life, TRUST ME when I say you NEED to read Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis!

This cute love story started off as a stunt for the cameras. But is it really just for them at the end? Ivory needs a boyfriend fast! Li steps in as her pretend one and things get crazy! In a cute romantic way. You will laugh and cry with this story! It’s so cute and well written. I was greatly surprised that it was such an easy read. But it keeps you wanting more with every page!
