Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise – Review by Vanessa Watts

Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What happens when you let your friend’s pick a blind date for you? After all, finding your own dates hasn’t worked well because as soon as people know who you are or see your name they see dollar signs. Jake, a self made billionaire, is simply looking for love. He is tired of every woman he meets to only want him for his money and what his position can do for them. So when a deal turns serious Jake must let each of his friend’s pick a blind date for him. All first dates take place at a blind date restaurant where you cannot see the person you’re on a date with and you only get limited information at introduction.

Likewise, Lauren is just looking for a man who likes to live comfortably. Not the rich guys she is surrounded by working for her billionaire boss. Her friend Catherine pressures her into going on a blind date of Catherine’s choosing. When Lauren relents and allows Catherine her attempt at matchmaker, she is thrust into a blind date where you can’t see who you’re on a date with. What happens when you mix two people who are completely opposite of what they want or their normal type? What happens when the lights come on and you realize your blind date was a closer acquaintance than you realized?

While I did enjoy this book I thought Lauren was a bit whiny about the financial issue. While I understand she doesn’t want to be seen as a gold digger like her mom it got irritating at her questioning everything. Though if you get past that it was a good book that if you like romance novels with sexy billionaires you should definitely read it.
