Publisher's Summary

A blind date. A nervous sorority girl. A mean-spirited fraternity prank. What could 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 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.

Puppies and Pigs

This is a great novella about valuing your self worth and learning where you love is best placed.

Andy is adorable, if sunshine 6'4" can be called that, his inner dialogue during sex was hilarious.

Katie had some lessons to learn about inner beauty, common decency, and over coming public humiliation.

The epilogue was a terrific and interesting edition, Dash learning some lessons himself, finally, although he's got some ways to go on that front.

Great short story

A lovely short story with likeable characters. I particularly enjoyed the narration with both male and female voices- seems to make the story come alive,

What a cute little listen

Not sure enough attention was given to the gravity of what happened to Katie. It felt too downplayed or something.
I loved though everything else. Story, narration, characters, all loved

Blonde date Was a brilliant novella. I enjoyed the characters I thought it was well written I do agree the story could’ve been extended I would’ve preferred it to be a novel maybe that’s something to look forward to. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
