Fiction. Romance. HTML:

A blind date. A nervous sorority girl. A mean-spirited fraternity prank. What could possibly go wrong? As a sorority pledge, there are commandments that Katie Vickery must live by. One: thou shalt not show up for the party without a date. Two: the guy shall be an athlete, preferably an upperclassman.Unfortunately, Katie just broke up with her jerkface football player boyfriend. Even worse, her last encounter with him resulted in utter humiliation. She'd rather hide under the bed than attend a party where he'll be. Yet staying home would mean letting him win. Enjoying herself tonight was out of the question. She could only hope to get through the evening without her blind date noticing that he was spending the evening with a crazy person. Andrew Baschnagel is living proof that nice guys don't finish first. He's had his eye on Katie since the moment her long legs waltzed into his art history class. So when her roommate sets Andy up to be Katie's date, he'd be crazy to say no. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a lot of practice with either girls or parties. Yet. BLONDE DATE is a 23,000 word novella covering a four hour span of Katie & Andy's night. ALSO INCLUDED: a sneak preview of the third novel in the Ivy Years series, THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR.

Quickie Review-May contain spoilers, so be forewarned upon reading this review

Blonde Date was such a pure delight to read here. I absolutely adored all the sweet moments that build between this couple. I really loved this pair that are implemented here. I just had a blast with how these two work together. It has such a fun set up here. And somehow with it being a novella, its my favorite of the series haha Not sure why, but I just fell so hard for this couple. Loved how together they are for each other and I hope we get to see them in future books to see how their relationship goes. But we have a hero who is a Jew and a basketball player, however the fact that the hero is Jewish made the whole fling idea not applicable if he was loyal to this faith anyway. As the religion is pretty strict on sex before marriage so not sure how I feel about that being implemented. But the romance was super endearing. ( )

This took me two months to read on and off. Loved it. Not traditionally structured and it makes it that much fun and engaging to read. Relevant in our times of chaos. Beard makes it about the people, the institutions and the historian's accounts of the time. With context and a healthy dose of rationality. Makes you want to reach out to your local library and take out Cicero's letters or Suetonius's writings. It's a good feeling to have. ( )

This was a brilliant novella. I think we were all wondering what "exactly" was going on over in Andy's room.... now we know. Such a cute perfect little love story. I loved Andy and was smiling like a proud mom at the end. Even Katie redeemed herself to me and I'm hoping these two will continue on and make appearances in later books in the series. Great job once again Sarina.
Happy Reading...enjoy! ( )

I'm officially a Sarina Bowen fangirl now. I loved this story too. I didn't think much of Blonde Katie in [b:The Year We Hid Away|21798646|The Year We Hid Away (The Ivy Years, #2)|Sarina Bowen|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396306727s/21798646.jpg|41053774]; she was just a kinda superficial popular girl and I'm so glad we got to see more about what makes her tick. I also loved Andy. And then you put the two of them together and *sigh* it was just great! This story had it's angst but also a lot of humor - I loved the part where you saw what they were each thinking. I Lol a lot! :) ( )
