More Than a Blind Date by Remi Carrington: Book Review

The Book

I need a fake fiancé for the next six months. That shouldn’t be too hard to find, right?

Hopefully my blind date is in a good mood because I’m about to put my desperation on full display by asking him to pose as my fiancé for six months.

The cute cowboy not only agrees to my crazy plan to get my family to leave me alone until my brother’s wedding, but he’s also so good at playing the part, going above and beyond, that it makes even me believe this whole charade is real.

When he turns all protective, I start to wish we weren’t pretending. But fake or not, Dallas makes me feel brave enough to stand up for myself.

During the six months, the lines blur and as the end of our agreement approaches, I’m not sure we’re pretending anymore. And now that I’ve grown a spine, I’m brave enough to admit I want the real thing with him.

But after the wedding, Dallas acts like our deal is done and walks away, dragging my happily-ever-after along with him. If he can’t trust me enough to talk about what changed his mind, then we aren’t meant to be.

Except I think we are. Nobody’s that good at faking love.

Book Review

More Than a Blind Date is the eighth book in the Cowboys of Stargazer Springs Ranch series. While those who have read the previous books in the series will love seeing previous characters make appearances throughout, this could definitely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

From the moment that I read the preview of Dallas and Rose's story at the end of the last book, I was hooked and couldn't wait to read this one. It absolutely did NOT disappoint. This is perhaps one of my very favorite meet cutes ever and it only got better from there. Despite Dallas's claims of being an eternal bachelor, he took to the part of devoted fiancé incredibly well... perhaps a little too well. The chemistry between these two was absolutely fantastic, and I just adored how thoughtful and caring Dallas was towards her. He was so protective, and I absolutely loved it. Rose's family dynamic was... complicated to say the least, but I loved watching her growth as the story went on and how he supported her through it all. This series is a favorite of mine and I have truly adored every single book so far... but this one is definitely a new favorite! I loved it! 

More Than a Blind Date is a closed-door romance with kisses only on page and no language. There is one slight fade to black moment, but it is between a married couple and VERY subtle.
