Blind Date

Basicaly all the covers in this little series are the same, so I am just going to copy and paste my previous comments since they pretty much apply to this cover as well. I LOVE this cover. Great use of graphics. Excellent representation of the story. Good composition. All that said, it loses a star because the author's name should NOT be the most prominent text on a book cover. EVER. PERIOD. Not only that but it is placed in the middle of the cover where the title should be. GAAH..that makes this OCD graphics designer CRAZY! lol



While I enjoyed this one overall it was my least favorite of the trio. First, it took FOREVER for this one to get going. The first half of the book was so slow, and NOTHING happened but pages and pages of pointless blind dates. Secondly, it was blatantly obvious who the baddie was from the minute they were introduced. Unfortunately, because of that, the whole mystery aspect fell a bit short for me. Lastly, I wasn't a fan of the romance in this one. It felt underdeveloped, and for the first half of the book, I hated Ace. I mean the guy was an ass. Now the hero in book two was an ass as well, but at least I felt he had an interest in the heroine. In this one, the hero didn't even know who she was despite living next to her and interacting with her often. I also could have done with the pages and pages of them talking about how wonderful their dead spouses were. I get it they were the most perfect of perfectest people to have ever live. Dead spouses usually don't bother me, but it's a bit hard to connect to a couple if they are always talking about how perfect their previous love was.

Now, I know that all sound like I hated the book, but despite those issues, I found myself sucked in and turning the pages. This author's venture into romantic suspense has been a great success, and I have enjoyed all three of the books she has published so far. I hope we get even more in the very near future. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
