Blind dates can be tough. Well-meaning
friends always think they know you better than you know yourself, but it's
still one big crapshoot.
In Molly Whalen's The Art of Embellishing, Shay Mohan is fixated on a future with Bradley Ingersol, but when her friend Zoe tries to impart the sage advice that Brad is a player, a user, at best a lukewarm friend and not a true boyfriend, Shay doesn't want to hear it. Tired of seeing Shay being let down time and again, Zoe takes matters into her own hands and stealthily creates a dating profile for Shay on the Plenty of Fish dating site and begins screening for the perfect match for Shay. Yet all the while, hunky new guy in town, Kyle McLemore is trying to get Shay's attention and getting repeatedly rebuffed. Can you blame a guy for using his own stealthy ideas to get Shay to open her eyes and truly see him for a forever kind of man? In Joanne Rawson's Unexpected Blind Date, after consuming a bit too much alcohol at a bachelorette party, Grace Worthing agrees to be set up on a blind date with a shrink named Adrian. With sobriety, Grace's skeptical nature reasserts itself, but since she's pushing thirty and no prince charming has come for her, she thinks what-the-hell and dresses to kill for her date with Adrian at an upscale bar. When Adrian doesn't arrive, an attractive stranger in a business suit at the next table takes pity on Grace and joins her for a drink. Grace finds Oliver Holland fascinating and, as it turns out, their families know one another and they'll soon have a new connection through work. Yet, here comes the very attractive Adrian. Better late than never, right? And, finally, in Molly Whalen's How a Night Unfolds, mature businesswoman Quinn Hancock isn't looking for a relationship, so she doesn't mind when her friend Doris sets her up with Brandon, a man who hasn't dated anyone in a while. But Quinn and Brandon have so little in common that Brandon's antics make Quinn think she's being punked and that there must be a hidden camera crew somewhere in the hotel's bar. With her over-the-top blind date concluded in record time, Quinn plans to head towards her hotel room, but an intriguing invitation to a night to remember changes Quinn's plans and she suddenly finds a mystery man she glanced at earlier in the bar is slowly sweeping her off her feet. TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF A BLIND DATE is a wickedly cute chick-lit anthology of three stories spiced with realism and humor all in a short 125 pages. All three heroines are relatable and their stories make for quick, engaging reads that can be savored over several lunch hours or totally consumed in one lazy afternoon. These are light, fun reads told with candor and sparkling dialogue. Those who adore romantic chick-lit will delight in these humorous tales of the modern dating scene. |
