The Blind Date Dance

by A.S. Dawn

I’m looking for a husband.

I’ve been kicked to the curb (literally), and after an existential crisis, I’ve decided that the best way to find my happily ever after is to get back out there on the dating scene.

My solution for this?

Blind dating almost any man the crazy people of my town can set me up with.

My biggest problem?

I keep getting set up with the surly grump who is clearly not interested in me.

My REAL biggest problem?

I might be interested in him.

The Blind Date Dance is a fun ride with low stakes drama and no third act breakup, sure to leave you with feel good vibes. This small town, closed door romance has no spice but suggestive jokes and innuendo, making it a perfect fit for those who want the humor without the heat.

4.25⭐️

This was a super cute little romance! This had small town vibes, and the nosey townspeople honestly had me thinking of the town of Stars Hollow with how involved in our FMC love life they all were. It was a quick and easy read, light but also lightly touching on some deeper themes. I really enjoyed our two main characters, and how they kept meeting throughout the story got more crazy & cute each time. While the MMC’s friend got on my nerves with his player antics in this, the little bit of side story woven in has made me very curious on his possible story in the future for sure.

*This story is closed door, some swoon but no spice. There are innuendos and talk around the subject some, I personally don’t mind this in my romance book if it’s not done excessively or in a grotesque way, which I didn’t think this was. This reminded me a lot of Sarah Adams level swoon writing, with innuedo jokes, before she started writing spice. That’s probably the level I would personally categorize it into. No language that I recall in this. Being set in a small town in the south, everyone in town goes to church and this is mentioned. Saying a prayer of thanks, is also mentioned lightly. Pretty sure this isn’t classified as Christian Romance, but the author is a Christian.

I really did enjoy my time with this book, especially the later half seeing the couple more together. If this sounds up your alley, it’s definitely one I’d recommend!

Very cute small town romance. A lot of cute and funny moments throughout. Overall it was well written with some minor typos (that didn’t take away from the story)

I had some issues with the pacing of the story… While I enjoyed the numerous blind date coincidences, I felt like we were robbed of them building their relationship. It was only the second time we really saw them getting along that they’re already in love. I would have liked to see one or two more steps between deciding to give it a go and being in love.

I’m excited to see what happens with Chase & Summer and Chelsea & Jacob in the future.

This was such a sweet rom com!! I was laughing out loud at so many places, “awww”-ing at others, and giggling with giddiness throughout the book. I was rooting for the main characters but also for some side characters. 👀

The Blind Date Dance was lighthearted and sweet like a Sarah Adams book and included the meddling townies that reminded me of Gilmore Girls. I enjoyed this so much, and I hope we get more of Sweet Landings soon. ❤️

ugh I want this book to have my babies, it’s so good and cute!!! It’s a cozy small town romance and absolutely perfecttttt for the summer. I’ll probably be rereading it a million times and you should too.

6/5 stars, I made my dog read this with me.

A great Choice for me!

I loved the way this relationship grew. I even adored the nosey small town group. I laughed and giggled. It's a simple small town romance, and just what I was looking for at the time. Especially liked the building heat between the two loves w/o the spicey spice. I look forward to reading the sequel.

Really cute rom com. Funny but definitely had a slight serious side. Really liked the writing and the way the characters relationships connected.

There were some really funny enjoyable parts and the story idea is really good. I would have liked more involvement from the town people they made me laugh. However, there were a little too many internal thoughts towards the end that felt a little repeatable.
