Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise – Review by Paloma Fierro
Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book is the first of the Billionaire Blind Dates series where Jake meets Lauren under the most unexpected circumstances.
Jake is a charismatic businessman that does not have anything to wish for, but on the romantic side of his life the shallow encounters with women that only see in him money to be spent has reached his limits. Aware of the predicament presented, Jake relies on his best friends to look for an answer.
Lauren is an assistant with a handful of perks, a mean roommate and a non-existent relationship with her mother, which makes her wonder how much harder life can get. She sees herself as a woman with potential to achieve whatever she puts her mind to, even when life has not given her all in silver plate.
Both guided by the curiosity presented by their respective friends go to an exclusive restaurant called The Blind Date, where you must be in the dark with no information or contact of the date in front of you. This concept allows the subjects to create a genuine connection with the opposite side without the distraction of physical appearance, but at the same time the lack of visual aids such as body language and expression represent a challenge in the search of significant love.
Will the unique personalities of the characters be compatible? Will the social conventions surrounding them make them fall apart?
