The Plus One Pact by Portia Macintosh



Today I am excited to share with you my review of this brilliant, funny and romantic new release from portia Macintosh. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 




Book Description
What if your plus one could be the one...?
Cara has officially run out of men. Her most recent dates have gone from bad to worse, and when her dating app informs her there is no one left in her area to choose from, she is at a dead end.
But with a summer of events ahead of her, she needs to find a solution, fast; someone to keep her company at the never-ending weddings, family gatherings and gender reveal parties that she can’t face going to alone. 
So when she meets handsome, confident, Millsy on a night out she may be in luck. They could not be more different in personality, but he too has a summer of events ahead and is desperate to get his family off his back about finding a ‘nice girl’. What if they made a pact to help each other out and be a plus one for the summer? Just as friends of course...? 

A brand new romantic comedy from bestseller Portia MacIntosh, perfect for fans of Zara Stoneley, Sophie Ranald and Mhairi McFarlane.




My Review
This is a fantastic book and one that I simply adored from beginning to end. 
Cara is getting fed up with all the rubbish dates she has been on recently. They have gone from bad to truly awful. Her app is now telling her that there are no longer any matches on the dating site for her so she has now run out of men. 
She is on one last date before she gets stood up. Sitting in a bar all alone, Cara believes things are looking really bleak. That is until a handsome stranger comes over to talk to her. 
She finds out his name is Millsy and he offers to take her out for a drink. 
The two of them could not be more different, but they do get along well and seem to enjoy each others company. When Cara explain to Millsy that the reason she needs to find a man is that she has a busy diary of events over the summer and each one of them has included a plus one for her. As most of these are family events she is determined that she will not go to these events alone. 
Millsy admits that he has the same issue and his family just want him to find a nice girl. He then comes up with a plan for the two of them to make a pact and become each others plus one. 
At first Cara is reluctant as she hardly knows Millsy, but the more time she spends with him the more she begins to like him, but she cannot fall for him as they are only doing it as friends. 
This could be an interesting summer of events for them both. 
This is such a fun and romantic read that you will find really hard to put down. 
The characters are both so great to get to know and I found them both to be relatable. The chemistry between Cara and  Millsy is obvious from the start and you can almost feel the sizzle on each page. They do have many differences between them but that just seems to make their friendship stronger. They also seem to compliment well too. 
There are some really hilarious moments the two she as they do have some disasters with the events they go to, this just seems to cement their friendship even more. 
I would also like to add how inviting the cover is and being so brightly coloured makes it a brilliant summer read. 
I love books from Portia Macintosh and this is my favourite so far.
