Blind Date - Emma Hart

Blind dates are the work of the devil… 

I’m a serial-one nighter, and my best friend is my inner slut. 

He’s temptation personified, and his best friend is definitely his cock. 

Carter Hughes gave me a taste of my own medicine. He wham, bam, thank you ma’amed me into oblivion, and I hell yes, oh God, right there’d him into paradise. 

I thought that would be the end—until my mother’s double booking for a consultation winds me right back up at the place I swore I’d never go again. Now I’m fighting for an interior design contract I don’t even want... Just to make a point. 

If I get it, the date won’t be the devil. 

Carter Hughes will be.  

I really liked the plot development of this book, although I did find the ending rather abrupt, it lacked... something. The author easily blended one scene to another making it an equally easy to read book. I also liked the characters' personalities, there's wit and sexiness all around and, furthermore, I liked the fact that there were no "undercurrents" of conflicting feelings: both characters knew what they felt was different even if they did not like it. It felt like an honest story, for lack of a better word. Another plus, in my honest opinion is the fact that the female protagonist was not a victim. She was not a crybaby. She was confident, hard working and knew what she wanted out of her life. 

I would have liked some sort of conflict, I'm used to the beginning, development (middle/climax) and end (denouement) structure and I felt like the middle was a little weak. The idea was good but the development could have been better in terms of plot solidity. It was definitely a fun, light, funny read and I will be checking another of her books to get a better feel on her writing. I liked the way she writes, though. I rate it with 3 inconspicuous stars.
