The Mr. Right Checklist Paperback – November 19, 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
A free-spirited proposal planner and a grumpy professor form a hilarious and unexpected situationship that just might lead to more in this steamy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.
Dog groomer and budding marriage-proposal planner Destiny Amor believes in true love and happily ever afters. Though it’s not in the stars for her yet―honestly, who can live up to the criteria on her Mr. Right Checklist?―she wants it for others. When Destiny’s first misguided attempt at romance concierge ends in disaster, she’s ready to call it quits, until the supposed groom-to-be steps in with a proposal of his own.
Ryan “Fletch” Fletcher, a divorced-and-never-going-there-again professor, needs to get his matchmaking family off his back, and the disorganized, too-in-love-with-love proposal planner is the perfect solution. He offers to help Destiny get her business on track, if she’ll play the part of his adoring girlfriend at his brother’s wedding.
A professional situationship with her grumpy dog-grooming client? Destiny adores his pup, and she could put up with him to get her business off the ground. With any luck, she might even get that chip about love off his shoulder.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2024I absolutely loved The Mr. Right Checklist by Melissa Foster; it is an incredible romantic comedy with a fake dating situationship. Melissa Foster continues to prove that she is an amazing storyteller and continues to be one of my favorite authors to read, a must-read author for me. I love that Melissa Foster continues to write the books that I love to read. The Mr. Right Checklist was impossible to put down and I loved every moment on every page. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? The Mr. Right Checklist is the story of Ryan “Fletch” Fletcher, professor at Beckwith University, where he teaches sociology, and Destiny Amor, a pet groomer and proposal planner for her company, Get the Yes. Destiny grooms, Ryan’s dog, Molly and has always referred to him as “Grumpy Gus” since she did not know his name. Destiny sets up a proposal in the park for her first client, not realizing that Ryan was the planned fiancé and that her client was one of Ryan’s students who is a stalker. Following the failed proposal, Fletch helps her establish her business correctly with the assistance of his brother, Chuck. While going over her business plans, Fletch comes across her The Mr. Right Checklist notebook. As repayment for helping launch her business, Destiny agrees to attend Fletch’s brother, Jimmy’s wedding as his plus one. Fletch does not see himself as her Mr. Right, he has been divorced for ten years and is not looking to fall in love again, he is a casual dater and sees Destiny as a forever girl. As Destiny and Ryan spend time together, things change between them, and they agree to fake date until Jimmy and Beth’s wedding. I love the nicknames that Ryan and Destiny have for one another. Destiny and Ryan share amazing chemistry. Conversation between Destiny and Ryan flows so easily, with innuendos and playful banter, and Ryan constantly flirting with Destiny. I love how he helps her plan her first proposal. Destiny shares secrets and insecurities with Ryan about her parents and how Ryan shares his secrets about his failed marriage. A plot twist puts their relationship in jeopardy. I love everything that Ryan does to show Destiny how much she means to him. I love the changes that both Ryan and Destiny make in their lives so that they can have a life with one another and how they admit their feelings for one another. I love how Destiny updated her Mr. Right Checklist. I love how the Fletchers have embraced Destiny. I love Ryan and Destiny’s love story and the ending of their perfect love story especially Fletch’s proposal and where it takes place and how it wraps up the story perfectly. One of my favorite parts is everything that Fletch does to spend time with Destiny while planning the proposal. My favorite part is how Melissa Foster incorporated the photo on the cover and the title of the book into the story. I really enjoy how the book is written in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. The Mr. Right Checklist is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a Melissa Foster love story, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. I love the characters, especially her neighbors, in The Mr. Right Checklist, they feel like family and friends, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I thoroughly enjoyed The Mr. Right Checklist. Highly recommend this incredible romantic comedy. I definitely will be reading the Sugar Lake and Harmony Pointe series to catch up with the Dalton siblings. Highly recommend this fake dating situationship. Received an advanced copy from the author.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025Destiny is a dog groomer but her dream job is having a business that plans extravagant marriage proposals. Destiny grooms his dog Molly but he thinks she is a flake. Their meeting in the park is unexpected and hilarious. Along with the funny parts there are also some that make me want to tear up. Can Destiny break down the walls Fletcher has built to keep from getting hurt again? Something I loved is how the dog and cat play a part in the story. They have real personalities and add to the story. I recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2025I loved, loved this opposites attract, fake relationship, grumpy-sunshine romance. It had the perfect balance of humor, heartwarming love, real life issues, and spice. Fletch is a divorced college professor, with no interest in a serious relationship. He is guarded and grumpy. Destiny is a dog groomer and has just started her marriage-proposal business. She is vibrant, bubbly exuberance and she has a very specific list for Mr Right. When Destiny inadvertently plans a proposal for Fletch’s from his stalker, they strike a deal, he’ll help her with her business while she is his fake date to his brother’s wedding. Things get complicated for the Fletch and Destiny fast with big feelings leaking out all over the place making it messy and requiring a bunch of baggage unpacking and truth telling to go from fake to real. I loved the way Destiny loudly, exuberantly and accidentally wiggled her way past Fletch’s heart lock down so he could begin to trust romantic love again. As always with this author, the story was well written and included engaging dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and a captivating storyline making the story so hard to put down. I am doing a happy dance that we are back in the towns of Harmony Pointe and Sugar Lake.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024This is my new favorite book by Melissa.
This sweet love story had all the feels and spice. I loved Destiny’s character so much. And Fletch was adorable and sexy.
Destiny is a part time dog groomer and entrepreneur trying to get her marriage proposal business, Get the Yes, off the ground. She grooms Fletch’s dog, Mollie. She doesn’t really know him other than she calls him grumpy Gus.
Fletch is a divorced professor that was cheated on by his wife. He’s sworn off love and is content for it to be just be him and Mollie. At least that’s what he thinks.
In comes Destiny like a tornado into his life. She is fun, outgoing, says what she thinks and wears her heart on her sleeve. And little by little she’s bringing life back into Fletch.
You need to read this book. It’s funny, spicy, heartbreaking and truly a feel good story. Definitely a 5 star read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Love Story!!
A spectacular lust filled love story that will have you falling in love with Fletch and Destiny!! Both have walls very high that protect their heart!! As their relationship progresses they both lower some of their defences and they have some smoking hot sexy times!! With both in denial that there is a expiration date, they both find it hard to admit the way they really feel. Many ups and downs in the story and the love of family that try to help!! Nice seeing old friends like Talia and Piper along the way!! Melissa is a rockstar when she is writing a book!! Love the characters, love the side characters and love the animals along the way!! Go grab anything that Melissa Foster writes but especially this book!! It will have you laughing, smiling, swooning and of course crying!! Perfect love story that will have you glued!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Love can always find you, even if you think you don't want it
What do you get when you cross a grumpy man who does not believe in love and happy ever afters and a woman who believes there is someone out there that is your perfect soul mate?
A story of two people who are thrown together and form an unlikely friendship of mutual respect and a growing attraction to each other. Each of them unknowingly forcing the other to question what they thought they knew about Love.
A lovely rom com story to enjoy
- ToniReviewed in Canada on November 22, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Melissa just keeps getting better and better!
Fletch and Destiny's story is fresh and uplifting. If ever the stars aligned to bring two people together, this is it. Their story is well written, full of laughs and love. Even if they don't realize it at the time. I have enjoyed every one of Melissa's stories but for some reason this one has struck a special chord. I dare anyone to resist Destiny's personality. She is the epitome of sunshine in every way. The honesty and open communication she lives by draws everyone in. Even with all the loss in her life, she breathes and lives to be happy. She is able to break down all the barriers that Ryan has built up over the past 10 years and shows him how to love again just by being herself in every way. A wonderful happy ever after and one I will read again, probably more than once. Keep them coming Melissa. Thankyou!
