Contemporary Chick Lit

Blind dates can be excruciating, but maybe love is right in front of you, just give it a chance.

LOVE IS BLIND (or at least nearsighted) by Theresa Alan - My name is Heather. I'm not unattractive and I'm never going on another blind date. I'm still looking for Mr. Right but afraid I let him go years ago. Now I'm on my way back to my hometown for a girlfriend's wedding. Will this road lead me back to my first love? When you least expect it, BAM, love hits you between the eyes and it's never like you expected it to be. This is a delightful journey that will tickle your funny bone. Enjoy!

CLEO BARNES: Worst Blind Date Ever by Holly Chamberlain - Cleo Barnes has spent the last two years with her cheating, lying boyfriend. Now he's in her rearview mirror and she has become a full-blown man-hater. Each blind date is worse than the last, but when she spies her ex with another woman, Cleo decides it's time to change her ways and give finding Mr. Right a chance. Cute story.

LOVE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES by Marcia Evanick - Judith Howland is an RN with two brothers who are doctors. Her recent series of blind dates have been disasters with one being a circus clown who specializes in X-rated balloon figures. Get the picture? Judith is ready to give up on men altogether and refuses another "fix-up" with a man who sounds too good to be true. Is he worth the risk? Could he be the perfect creamy center in a box full of chocolate- covered nuts? This story is a delight. It will tickle your funny bone and melt your heart.

JUST JENNIFER by Lisa Plumley - Jennifer has a 12- point plan for picking the perfect pair of butt-flattering jeans, but is clueless to a bigger question she keeps asking herself: "Shouldn't I know who I want to be by now? I've had 28 years to figure it out." With the help of her friends, Jennifer is going on a journey of self-discovery -- 30 dates in 30 days, her path to self-enlightenment. Is Jennifer ready for what she's about to find out? Witty, well-written and wonderful, this is a joyful and delightful story of self-discovery. Lisa Plumley is the best. What a fun way to spend an afternoon.

SUMMARY

The trauma of the blind date. It's like being trapped in a bad,four-hour movie. Like shopping for Manolos with a maxed-out Visa. Like going for a massage and getting a bikini wax instead. Like...well, you get the idea. How many frogs can a woman kiss before a non-slimy prince comes along? There's only one way to find out...

LOVE IS BLIND (OR AT LEAST NEARSIGHTED) by Theresa Alan
When it comes to dating, Heather's been pretty lucky. Well, if you don't count the verbal flasher and the guy who started going out with another woman halfway through their first date. If only she could find a guy like her first love. Now, the one who got away just may lead her to the one she can't lose...

CLEO BARNES: WORST BLIND DATE EVER by Holly Chamberlin
Nine months after Cleo Barnes dumped her cheating, lying boyfriend, she's become a full-blown, she- devil man-hater. But when she spies her ex out with another woman, it's time to get serious and prove to him and the rest of the world that Cleo Barnes is alive and well and getting a man...whether she likes it or not...

LOVE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES by Marcia Evanick

Judith Howland is the queen of disastrous blind dates. On the road to finding Mr. Right, she's been fixed up with Mr. Seriously Broke, Mr. Grope and Paw, and Mr. Certifiable. With all the good men taken, Judith's not willing to sample even one more guy from the fix-me-up box, no matter how tempting...

JUST JENNIFER by Lisa Plumley
Breezy California girl Jennifer Merryn has a knack for picking fun friends and butt-enhancing jeans, but she's got lousy radar when it comes to men. So why not let her friends choose her blind dates--thirty different prospects in thirty days. Armed with breath mints, lip gloss, and unlimited text- messaging minutes, Jennifer's ready for the dating frenzy to begin--or is she?

Now, four women who think they've seen it all are about embark on an odyssey where nothing is too weird, too hot, or too wrong for words. But sometimes what looks like disaster is actually love in disguise...
