It seems like just the other day that I met you on blinddatebrides.com. My daughter signed me up because she felt I'd sacrificed my life to bring her up alone. But you can still be forty and…flirty!
I couldn't believe my luck when my blind date was a tall, dark, handsome stranger—yet you were that and so much more….
But now things have gone further and faster than I could have imagined because—well, we're pregnant! Noah—we need to talk.
Türkçe çevirisi "Sanal Aşk" ile bizlerle buluşan Blind-Date Baby kitabında Noah ve Grace'in hikayesini okuduk. Birbirlerini bu kadar yanlış anlayan -anlamayan- bir çift daha görmedim. Grace'in kocasının kaybından dolayı kendini herkese kapamış olmasını anlıyorum. Ama üzerinden çok zaman geçmiş ve biraz yeniliğin kimseye zararı olmaz düşüncesindeyim. Eh, Grace'in kızı Daisy de benimle aynı fikirde olacak ki annesini bir evlilik sitesine kaydediyor ve orada Noah ile tanışmasına vesile oluyor. Noah ise geçimini polisiye romanlar yazarak geçiren, ailesinden beklediği ilgiyi göremeyen, sevgi eksikliği ile büyümüş ve bu yüzden de çoğu durum karşısında ne yapacağını bilemez bir halde bu yaşa kadar gelmiş. Noah'ın Grace'i onunla olmaya ikna etme çabaları güzeldi. Kolay vazgeçmedi en azından. Ama Grace her ne kadar onu anlamaya çalışsam da beni gıcık etti. Kitabın sonu ise tam bir faciaydı. Tamam olayların hızlı gelişeceğini bekliyordum ama bu kadarını da beklemiyordum. Beni şok etti. "Ne ara bitti?" derken buldum kendimi.. Sonuç olarak sevdim mi sevmedim mi bilemiyorum. Ortada kaldım. -_-
I didn't like it. Not a fan of 40+ year old characters having a surprise pregnancy.
As for the relationship, at times it felt like they had a strong connection, but for most of the book it just felt like a comfortable friendship based relationship with no true fireworks between them. P.
I liked this book. Good characters, plot, and emotions that came thru great. I loved the side characters too. I can't wait to read more in this series. I liked the idea of the online chat sessions and the friendships that rose from it. The ending was perfect and touching and had me tearing up a little. Totally a Moment. It's like...Grrrr...(holding breath)...Ooohhh!...Ahhh...Yay!...then Aww man...and some (cooling off)....Errggg... and finally a resounding AWWWW! I chuckled a little, teared up a little, smirked some, and definitely felt the characters. Although sometimes I just wanted to beat them upside the head a little. Great for a cuddle-up or relaxing read. Enjoy!
Blind-Date Baby is my favourite in the Blinddatebride.com trilogy. I particularly loved the heroine, Grace and not only because her age is thirty-ten, although that did give me common ground with her. *Big grin*
The hero, Noah, is gorgeous and a great match for Grace. I loved watching their feelings grow for each other to a level they never expected.
This author's stories go from strength to strength and I love her writing style. That's why I will always pick up a Fiona Harper Romance with the confidence of knowing I'm in for a great read.
Was a little disappointed in how lame this book was. It was just not that interesting and boring at some parts. It had a good story, but would've been better if the baby would've been born while they were married and the book would have went into more detail about why the hero didn't want to fall in love so badly.
I don't know why, but the baby bit irritated me no end. The story of empty nester finding love had potential, but somehow the heroine seemed stuck in some Betty Neal time warp. I just pretended this was a "classic" in order to enjoy the good parts.
