Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise – Review by Jess Dimmock

Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good romance. A touch of rags to riches, a dash of prideful came up on her own heroine, and just a bit of alpha male.
A group of playboy billionaires are disillusioned and over the playboy lifestyle. However, finding a woman who wants them for more than their money and fame isn’t easy. Enter a true blind date company! A dating app, no picture, and the date is chosen via algorithm, or in Jake’s case, by his friends. They can chat or not before, but then they meet at the restaurant where they enter from separate entrances and it’s too dark to see each other. Thus, getting to know each other without knowing who the other is.
Lauren is a secretary to a CEO in a top company. Her friend Catherine convinces her, after some trouble with a roommate to move in with her, and then to give this Blind Date thing a try. She agrees on the condition that they are close to her in finances as she doesn’t ever want to seem like her mother, a “Gold Digger”.
My only real issue with this book was that there was never any real conflict for the couple. I wasn’t looking for a tragedy or anything, but what was in there felt like inconveniences more than anything and that the first time they as a couple are truly tested it will fall apart. I’d say it’s a little to fairy tale-esque, but fairy tales have tragedy and conflict. Other than this, it was a really great story!
