Review: Blind Date by Bella Jewel



***3 STARS***



4 years after the death of her husband Hartley Watsons friend Taylor convinces her it's time to move on and get back into the dating game. Hartley is not keen but agrees to let Taylor find 3 dates for her. The first 2 guys aren't up to par but the third seems a bit more successful And it brightens Hartley's mood.

Hartley lives next door to a hot but very moody and ignorant cop called Ace and more than once Hartley has gave him a piece of her mind. When things start happening in Hartley's apartment it's Mr Moody Cop that intervenes and helps although his sarcasm and mood swings haven't gone un noticed even if Hartley is grateful for the help.

The question is will Hartley find love in her life or will whoever is tormenting her break her in the process?

First of all let me say I have absolutely loved Bella Jewels last 2 romantic suspense books, however even though I did enjoy this one somewhat, it still fell a little flat for me. I just found it to predictable from quite early on in the story. The characters each played their part well although I found Hartley a little weak at times but she matured towards the end of the story. Maybe it's just me but I didn't really get the usual enjoyment that we get from Bella Jewels writing but there's probably at least one book from our favourite authors that we didn't click with and I think this one is it for me. I am however definitely looking forward to see what Bella writes next.

A KILLER IS ON THE LOOSE— AND HE’S DYING TO MEET YOU...

After the death of her husband four years ago, Hartley Watson is finally ready to meet someone—and maybe even have a second chance at love. But then, just as her dating life seems to be getting started, Hartley is struck with a horrifying realization: Someone is watching her. Entering her own home. Even knows the intimate details of her life. How else to explain the strange deliveries, or the sudden appearance of mementos from her dead spouse—ones that she had kept for so long in storage?

If only Hartley could know for sure whether what is happening to her is real or if her grief is making her lose touch with reality. Those around her aren’t convinced that she’s being stalked, nor is the wonderful, supportive man Hartley’s started dating. The exciting new life she has created for herself is slowly becoming a nightmare. . .How can Hartley seek protection when nobody believes that she’s at risk—and the only one in the world she can trust is herself?
