Hot Dutch Daydream by Kristy Boyce (2023)
For anybody looking to spend an entertaining afternoon curled up with a quick-to-read, altogether delightful little YA romance, this book fits that description to perfection.
A clash of opposite personalities? You've got it. Beautiful travel brochure backgrounds? All in place here. Kissing, hugging, impromptu smooching between the adorable supposed opposites? Most definitely.
First half of our dynamic duo - Sage, a Type A high achiever on the verge of college with a pre-med trajectory for her future. And she's lined up, for her, the perfect summer job before school - off to Amsterdam, serving as a research intern for oncologist Dr. Reese, who also employs Sage to babysit Diedrik her rambunctious 3 year old toddler.
What Sage didn't count on coping with was Ryland, the Doctor's young, but grown son, a charming-to-the-max, devil-may-care freelance artist with a large coterie of adoring friends, mostly girls.
Need I even explain the inevitable, amusing clashes between overachiever Sage and the freewheeling, lover of life Ryland? Especially when Ryland asks the ever organized efficient Sage to help him curb his social life so he can focus and concentrate on submitting his artwork to a major competition.
Uh oh.....but what about Dr. Reese's strict "no romance allowed" commandment? Much fun and head-over-heels swooning ensues anyway, as we all knew it would.
A fast easy breezy 4 star (****) read, guaranteed to leave you smiling and maybe check out airplane fares to Amsterdam. so can tour all the colorful locales the cute couple visited. But if you can't go, this book's the next best thing.......and a great kick-off to the summer reading season.
