Spotlight: Joanne Rawson’s Unexpected Blind Date

Dedication:   For my dear friend Jane, May she find true love.
If any of Grace Worthing’s friends dared to suggest she should go on a blind date, her answer would have been, “Blind dates are so tacky; they are definitely for the desperate.” She was so over men! After her fifth Sex on the Beach cocktail she told friends she would never have sex again, let alone have sex on a beach. Then, somewhere between her second and third tequila slammer, Grace found herself, agreeing to meet Adrian. Little did she know how interesting and unexpected her blind date would be.

Excerpt:
Frankly, if you asked me six months ago if I would give up my Tuesday quiz night with the girls, or go on a blind date, then my answer would undoubtedly have been, “Blind dates are so tacky. They are definitely for the desperate.” From the age of sixteen I have had fourteen years of dating, ten boyfriends, six of them lovers and, up until a year ago, had been in a four-year relationship that hit more icebergs than the Titanic. No, my blind date love boat days have well and truly sailed. I am so over men.
However, two weeks ago, Glenda, Nell, Christine and I, hit Cupids Cave—Nottingham’s notorious Saturday night hot spot for eighteen to twenty year old blushing brides to be, celebrating their last weekend of freedom. It was reluctant moral support for Glenda, who had been press ganged into her younger sister’s hen night. Like every member of our group, Glenda was proud not to be married.
Tucked away in a corner, I was not sure if I was more depressed that we were the oldest women in the club, or that I recognised so many of my ex pupils I had taught biology to in the past few years. At least three acknowledged me, flashing their diamond solitaires under my nose. They may not have found any ecological break-through, but one thing was certain, they had discovered a biological phenomenon that was oblivion to me, how to get a man and keep him.

Snivelling into my fifth Sex on the Beach cocktail, I began wallowing in a state of drunken remorse. Leaping from my bar stool I declared the fate of my future. “I will never have sex again, let alone have sex on a beach.”

Coming Soon
Magnificent Valor is a tale of our beloved four musketeers told by an aged Porthos writing his memoirs. The characters retain the original flavor of Dumas infused with Aubrey’s typical humor and romance. The plot and real life characters follow a historically accurate timeline. First in a series of four, this novella focuses on the plot against a young Louis XIV and his chief minister and the romance between Athos and his love, Rosalind.
Set during the early years of the Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Rolf’s Quest combines the legend of Merlin with a romance between one of his descendants and a young noblewoman.  Rolf must break the curse that has trapped Merlin in a tree for over a century. But finding the genuine love that has eluded generations before him is no easy task, even for a wizard. When Melissa steps from his dreams and into his arms, he realizes that her love is much more than a way to free Merlin. Will his determination and magic be enough to rescue Melissa from the hands of a cruel baron and win her affection?
