The Referral Program by Shamara Ray
Synopsis.
From the bestselling author of Recipe for Love and You Might Just Get Burned comes an engaging novel about a group of single women who come up with a plan to try and meet Mr. Right.
Dylan and her best friends are in their mid-thirties and have never been married. Back in college, they could not have imagined being single with no prospects for husbands at this stage in their lives.
At a monthly gathering, the ladies discuss the possibilities of being alone for the rest of their lives. While the friends talk about their futures and the fears that come along with it, they hatch a plan. They resolve to start a program where each woman has to refer a good man for a friend to date.
As the friends embark upon the Referral Program, they discover things about themselves and each other they weren’t aware existed. Relationships are put to the test as Dylan and her girls come to terms with their current realities and futures that may or may not include friends or husbands.
The Review.
THE REFERRAL PROGRAM
Shamara Ray
In THE REFERRAL PROGRAM, we follow three friends: Dylan, Ivy, and Brooke. Over brunch one Sunday the women start to discuss their desire to find a serious relationship. Dylan proposes that each of the women refer men in their lives they feel the other women would like. Ivy and Brooke thought this was a fantastic idea and THE REFERRAL PROGRAM was born.
I immediately loved this concept. It sold me right away. I could easily see this as a movie or a romantic comedy TV series. The writing in THE REFERRAL PROGRAM did not disappoint and the dynamics between characters felt realistic, fresh, and fun.
Dylan, Ivy, and Brooke are very interesting to get to know. As a reader you learn their quirks, likes, dislikes, desires, and the needs they have that have been met while others go unfulfilled. It’s interesting to find out with their referrals how well they know each other as friends.
The men in the book were an especially fun part. We follow along as each of the women goes on prospective dates with the men in the “program”. It doesn’t always go as planned and the journey to finding Mr. Right is almost as fun as the destination.
I’m so happy to have discovered a new and exciting romance author. THE REFERRAL PROGRAM is out today!
