"Where Zara's concerned, nothing is ever easy, but that didn't mean I'd give up without a fight." The Proposal is the first book in a brand new series, SWANK from Maya Hughes. Leo Wilder and Zara Logan first encounter is a disaster but the surprise awaiting them is that they have to work together over the next month to land a client. Fast forward to a presentation later and now they have to pretend to be an engaged couple. Zara is barely holding things together as she's trying to raise the tuition for her little brother and doesn't really have time for anything other than working. Leo is an ex-football player who is dealing with the guilt from a family member's death and also trying to figure out the next phase of his life. These two served a really sweet and cute relationship. It was fun to read how their relationship evolved from rivals to lovers. Now other things I loved in this book was the dynamics between Zara and her little brother Tyler, I wish we could have gotten more of them. I also really liked the dynamics between Leo and his group of friends, Jameson, August, Hunter and Everest who will be each getting their own individual books and I definitely cannot wait.
