First story: At glance, Angela and Nick don’t seem to have much in common: she’s a young widow struggling to make ends meet, and he’s a self-made millionaire in his mid-thirties. But they share a deep, aching loneliness and the need for a brief escape – Angela from the ghosts of her past, and Nick from his uncertain future. When tomorrow comes, will it bring the end or a new beginning?
Second story : Two years after her divorce, Hannah is ready to move on. But when her friend pushes her to go on a blind date with a gallery owner, Hannah is hesitant. She’s attracted to Edward, an architect who works in the same building, even though they’ve barely exchanged two words. Edward also has a blind date. The woman he’s about to meet, according to his friends, is “brilliant and gorgeous.” Normally, Edward would be intrigued—intelligence and good looks can be a powerful combination—if he only could stop thinking of the quiet, shy and sexy-as-hell Hannah, the book editor from the top floor. With Hannah’s company moving out of the building, will she and Edward have enough time to open up to each other? Or will they give up and take a chance on the blind dates that neither of them care about?
Blind Date is a novella in two stories. Kaufmann writes about love gone wrong, love done right, and the barriers people put up between. Each story is short, spicy and romantic. The characters are sympathetic; the stories believable. Kaufmann’s Blind Date is a hot interlude for a cold night!
