Once Upon a Blind Date
Goal-oriented & organized heroine chooses a suitable wife for her best friend(BFF) via online dating service & tags along with him on his blind date. She meets freelance writer Hero who's also accompanying his BFF on her blind date with heroine's BFF. Both Hero & heroine are fascinated with each other even though both think the other is not their type. They have a secret affair that both consider temporary b/c heroine's doctor BF is due to come back from his travels. Yet Hero & heroine are having trouble keeping things casual & thinking of each other casually. How can these 2 find a common ground to sustain a long-term commitment? This Markham book kept my interest from start to finish. It was like a 21st-century version of the blind date scene in the movie When Harry Met Sally. It featured a lighthearted romance, good emotionality, & likeable characters. It was funny but had some serious moments. Characters had their own unique quirks but were relatable. The main characters' r/s struggles with making sense of their attraction to each other & the nature of their r/s were realistic & portrayed in a funny & practical manner. We get both of their point of views which helped me understand both of them well. There was no cheating in this book b/c heroine & her BF agreed to see other people during their time apart.
Recommended.
