Fifty Frogs (The Anti-Cinderella World Romances Book 1) Kindle Edition

How many frogs does a woman have to kiss before she finds the right one?

When Vivian left town for a three-month residency, she had no idea that she'd come back to find her life turned upside down. The casual boyfriend who'd seemed ready to commit? Changed his mind. The job she'd loved so much? Gone. The parents she'd assumed would be there for emotional support? Off on the adventure of their lives.

When she realizes that she's essentially homeless, jobless and boyfriend-less, Vivian knows something has to change. She needs to take charge. Inspired by her aunt's idea that a girl has to kiss at least fifty frogs to find her prince, Vivian comes up with a plan: she's going to go on a series of first dates only, and each one must end in a kiss.

She'll chronicle each date--the good, the bad and the downright unbelievable--and turn the stories into an in-depth magazine series about the realities of dating in the twenty-first century. While none of the frogs she meets--and kisses--make her heart leap, there's a guy closer to home who definitely does . . . and despite the fact that Charlie always seems to catch Vivian at her most awkward and embarrassing moments, she can't help wondering if it's time to ditch the plan . . . and kiss just one more frog.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a way to start the #MeetCute series. This one is #TeamSwoon all the way.

I can't say enough about how much I love Vivian and Charlie. The first scene sets the hilarious tone for the book and you have to give Vivian props for sticking to her guns!! The fact that she loses her job, her boyfriend, and other unexpected changes in one fell swoop says it all.

And any man who comes to the aid to rescue a turtle in the middle of the road - sigh!! The premise is that Vivian is unlucky in love (see the lost her boyfriend part - not a fan of his!) and her aunt suggests that she needs to kiss fifty frogs (well the number isn't important) before she can find her prince.

What Vivian doesn't realize is that she really found him before she started kissing any frogs - and let's be honest - most of them were toads!!

So many favorite parts of the book - discussion of DC vs. Marvel - very important topic to discuss; "tit for tat" - oh I enjoyed that scene and here's a swoony moment..."It could be that neither of us are perfect, but together we could be pretty...amazing." Oh my - how could you not fall head over heels.

Of course - there will be a bump in the road as Vivian should have come clean about a few things, but overall - this book has so much heart and nice heat. It gives you all the feels and reminds you what it was like when you fell in love with "the one".

Tawdra Kandle is one of my favorite authors - if you haven't met her yet - this is a good book to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally relatable!
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
After finally reading The Cuffing Season, I had to go back and reread Fifty Frogs, the book that inspired that one. (I will say that each of these does work as a standalone, but you'll enjoy reading them together.) And I loved it as much the second time around as I did the first.

Vivian has just come home from an amazing three-month writer-in-residency program where she blogged about how Millenials are doing travel differently. (And can I just say that I would like to sign up for one of these, please?) She comes home ready to pick her life up where she had left it, only to discover that it is all gone - her apartment, her parents and sister, her job, and her boyfriend. The boyfriend is probably the least unsettling, because she knew they just were not right for each other. But that comfort thing, ya know?

Cue an entire life makeover. She moves in with her mom's best friend, affectionately known as Aunt Gail, and comes up with a column idea that she think will gain her some attention. Aunt Gail tells her that you have to kiss 50 frogs before you find your prince. So she decides to try out this theory and write about it all.

She meets some of the craziest men and gets herself into some very interesting situations. According to the author, these are all somewhat based on her own daughters' stories. And let me tell you, I related to every single one of them. In fact, I think I need to write my own Fifty Frogs column.

And of course, there is a great Meet Cute scene involving a very fine specimen of a seemingly normal man named Charlie. In fact, this book is part of a multi-author series called Meet Cute. I would like to have one of him, please!

There are plenty of moments to make you smile, as well as to make you cringe in solidarity. It's a fun romantic comedy escape for an afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am now completely terrified of the modern dating scene

I am now completely terrified of the modern dating scene. I loved Vivian - strong, independent, and slightly neurotic, just like the rest of us, with all the usual baggage that accompanies having family and friends. I am possibly the most horrified to learn that her dating disasters are all based on real-life encounters. Charlie is such a sweetheart. You can tell right away that he’s going to be something different, someone important to Vivian. As much fun as I had watching her bad first dates, I would have loved seeing more of Charlie and Vivian together, watching them fall.

Vivian thinks she’s coming home to carry on her life where she left it 3 months ago, but what she comes home to is a disaster, at least from her perspective. Just when she has decided on a path to take back control of her life, she meets Charlie, who may just be the unexpected detour she should take.

This is a delightful and fun tale, filled with humor, quirkiness, and sass. The “first dates” Vivian experiences are hysterical and somewhat bizarre. The chemistry between Charlie and Vivian is perfect, and, although their road to their HEA is a bumpy one, it’s also a journey worth taking. It’s a story that will make you smile and sometimes laugh, as well as tug at your heartstrings, from start to finish. I strongly recommend this extremely engaging and highly entertaining romance.

This sweet tale of romance was a very enjoyable read. The beginning of the book was quite funny. The scene in the airport is an experience that many travelers have shared. Vivian is such a likable lead character and the chain of unfortunate events that she faces upon returning from her trip would be daunting for anyone. But Vivian rises to the challenge time and again. The chemistry between Charlie and Vivian can't be denied; it is sizzling hot! The book is a fun tale from start to finish.

This was such a fun read. I enjoyed the laughter, the tears, and just the characters in general. This author makes this story so enjoyable, I hope to see more like it. We've all been there, somewhere, in this story.... you just have to figure out how many frogs you have to kiss to realize that your prince might be right next door.
