Summary: Love Before First Sight
Review: Who said you cannot find love over the internet, in the personals or on a blind date? Urban Books anthology, Love is Blind, showcases three authors who say you can as they write love stories based on blind dates. In Parry "EbonySatin" Brown's story, Love is Just a Click Away for Mysti Ellington. Mysti has just made partner in the law firm she works for and is now looking for someone to share her success. She is determined to try the personals on the internet, much to the dismay of her best friend, RaMona. RaMona wants Mysti to meet men the old fashioned way and introduces Mysti to Keith. While attracted to Keith, it is Stephan who has Mysti intrigued. What happens when Mysti and Stephan finally meet? In Pat Simmons' story, Words of Love, radio talk show host, Carmel French and sales rep, Rice Taylor, express their feelings for each other by writing love letters. It starts with one simple letter to the station from Rice and for months they correspond by mail. In their letters to each other they fall in love, sight unseen. Will the love still exist when they finally come face to face? In The Switch by Lisa Watson, Justin Langley attempts to save Sabrina Ridgemont the embarrassment of being stood up by his best friend, Adrian. Justin means to tell her the truth of who he really is, but an ex-fiance shows up with some unkind things to say and Justin cannot reveal his true identity. When the truth is revealed, how will Sabrina react? Love is Blind is a book for the true romantic. In each story falling in love with an unknown person is the central theme. While Love is Just a Click Away was an easy and humorous read, the other two stories were long and drawn out. The female protagonists in Words of Love and The Switch had so many issues they became frustrating and the reading laborious. I think the romance reader will like this book. Jeanette
