About the author

Saxon Bennett is an admitted bibliophile and has the bookcases to prove it. Her favorite book is Harriet the Spy. She grew up among the pine trees of Washington where she learned to be a Keeper of Odd Knowledge with a special liking for new words - the queerer the better. She has a penchant for inspirational quotes - the more motivational the better. A serious aficionado of pie, she also drinks a lot of coffee and tea - especially when she’s writing, which she does every day. Saxon is a parent and a wife—two things she never thought she’d be - and she writes blogs about her family in the style of Erma Bombeck. In her next life she wants to be a professional snowboarder. She likes to grow flowers and tend to her pond. Jelly beans, gummy bears and licorice are her favorite candies. An avid walker with a goal to walk every street in her small town, she hits the pavement each morning. To keep herself limber, she does beginner yoga. She’d like to learn to meditate but her mind is as restless as a squirrel trapped in a box. As an amateur seamstress, she is endlessly trying to create the perfect butch purse. Her favorite quote is “Man plans, God laughs.” Saxon is the author of fifteen novels. Her book Family Affair won the Goldie for General Fiction in 2009. She won the Alice B. Reader Award for her body of work in 2012. Her second book in the Family Affair trilogy entitled Marching to a Different Accordion won a Golden Crown Literary Award for general fiction in 2012. Her book In the Unlikely Event is the final book in the Family Affair trilogy. All her books are available at Amazon and Bella Books in both print and electronic format. She has also written two books with her partner Layce Gardner and they are More than a Kiss and Crazy Little thing. Check them out on Amazon.

A date it is

A wonderful and entertaining read. Like all romantic stories it was a little over the top. It just amazed me how each lady found one person in each activity. The encounters were all entertaining but my favorite was the rolling pin. Midge event reminded me of "The Prince is having a ball" but for a princess

An easy story to follow with lovable characters. The comedy was within the clashes of the Titans, especially during the turkey scene. Yes, by all means read the book.

Saxon Bennet knows how to spin a romcom. Five single ladies in Albuquerque make a pact to start a date night club in order to find their “ones”. Hilarity ensues, along with some touching moments and a dog that’s entirely too smart for anyone’s good.

This book just flat out works for me and I love it to bits. I re-read it from time to time as it’s a comfort book. Hopefully it will be for you too.

Funny book

Five women meet at a local pub and become friends. Whenever more than two lesbians get together they often form a club, usually a book club, but in the story the women come together to find everlasting love for each other. The book is funny and certainly entertaining. I recommend it as a light hearted quick read.

Cant wait to hear this on audible. It was such a great story. As usual Saxon hit it out if the park.

A feel good story with a lot of laughs. Oh, and one kick-arse doggo named The Pipster.

More people need to share the stories of their lives, and I support that but reading this book reminded me of reading bad writing in writing workshops. Is it enough to have more stories about our friends and our little communities (even when they are wish fulfilling, self indulgent and grandiose - and yes I'm looking at you Irene creator of the L-Word) or is storytelling and writing important? That is the question this book left me asking... but notice I did finish reading it because there are still not a lot of books out there about lesbians and I do support Bella Books ;)

This was probably one of the funniest stories I have every read! The characters are real, likable, and hilarious! The antics they go through kept me turning pages long into the night. If I remember correctly, it took me two days to read it. Definitely one not to be missed.

Very funny in parts, kinda predictable, but a sweet idea. Seemed more like an author's first book more than her previous ones

Great book.

A great book. Entertaining. Funny. I envied the close friends. Add a cute dog into the mix and you can't go wrong. This would make a great Audio book.
