Clark’s nana is always trying to set him up with a date. Hunter’s mother is after him to start dating again. Clark has a crush on Hunter. Hunter is straight but he agrees to a fake relationship to get their families to back off.

In addition to the great fake-dating angle of this story, it’s full of delicious things that made me smile. Hunter’s house, that he is renovating, is at the corner of Ball and Sack so it’s often referred to as the Ball-Sack house. 😁

Here’s an example of an LOL moment. The setup is Clark going on a date with a funeral director – someone his Nana set him up with. He picked Clark up for their date in a hearse and this happened:

“You know, while we’re in my office of sorts…” He paused to laugh at his own joke and I mustered a smile. “Have you given thought to what kind of casket you’d like for your grandmother? Giving her a proper place to rest can make a huge difference in your peace of mind.”
“She’s not dead,” I said, appalled.
“Well, not yet, but given her age…”

Don’t Date a DILF is one of the best rom-coms I’ve read in a long time. It’s longer than other books that DJ Jamison has written but it is so well done, and such a great story, that it felt much shorter (that’s a compliment).

Clark’s voice filtered in from the hallway.

“Nana, for the last time, I was trying… Yeah, well, maybe I should run all your proposed dates through my friends first if you think Percy Helix was a good choice!”

I smirked at his sass, then had to muffle a laugh when he followed it up with, “No, I’m not being sassy. I’m sorry, Nana.”

Fuck, that was adorable.

Clark was a grown man who had his shit together far more than I ever would, and yet here he was, getting scolded by his grandmother. There was something so sweet and wholesome about that.

He glanced toward the classroom and caught sight of me through the doorway. He held up one finger, in the universal sign to wait a minute.

“We can talk more later, Nana. I have a parent here for a meeting, okay? But I really don’t think another setup is a good idea… Because I don’t. Because it’s uncomfortable!” He groaned theatrically. “Yes, okay, we’ll talk later.”

He lowered the phone and turned toward me.

I winced. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

He shrugged. “Well, you were at the pub, so…not like you didn’t know already.”

“Your nana feels pretty strongly about setting you up with a date, huh?”

“Unfortunately.”

“My mother hassles me every time we talk too,” I said.

“Must be something in the water,” Clark said with a pout.

Still adorable.

“Yeah, I actually lost my cool at work. Yelled at Tucker about how everyone in this town wants me to date. You know what we should do?”

“What?”

“Go on a date together.” I laughed. “That would shut everyone up.”

Clark’s eyes widened. “I think it would do the opposite.”

“You know what I mean though. Can’t set up a couple of guys who are already dating.” I wiggled my eyebrows. “Genius, right?”
