Book Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Recipe for Love and You Might Just Get Burned comes a funny, sexy, and modern romantic comedy about friendship, dating, and discovering love where you least expect it.

Dylan, Ivy, and Brooke are successful, brilliant, confident, and beautiful. And yet, they find themselves in their mid-thirties and very single. Tired of searching for her Mr. Right and finding only Mr. Wrongs, Dylan comes up with a plan to solve all of their single-lady woes.

The plan is simple: Each friend will refer men they already know who would make perfect partners but just aren't right for them. The ladies must then navigate the ups and downs of dating their friends' referrals in the hopes of finding the One. But will they actually each find their perfect match, or will the plan cause fractures between them and the men they've referred--or worse, among each other?

Witty, sexy, and filled with relatable dating drama, The Referral Program is perfect for fans of romantic comedies and Black love stories. This heartfelt and entertaining novel will make you want to delete your dating apps and ask your friends if they've known your perfect Mr. Right all along.
