Blind Date By Kay Doherty
Genre: Contemporary Romance, GLBTQ, MM
Released: August 29, 2016
Publisher: NineStar Press
Dekker Callan is content with his life though he knows something is missing. Wanting the kind of love his friends share with their partners, Dekker is talked into taking part in a modeling and dating show as part of a fundraiser. He immediately falls in love with the anonymous, sexy voice on the other side of the wall, but fate has a surprise in store–his mystery man isn’t single.
Slade Gannon wasn’t supposed to take part in the dating show. That spot was for his roommate, Phil, who becomes ill and asks Slade to take his place. Slade has just recently gone through a breakup with his cheating boyfriend, George. Shocked and pleased when he wins the interest of handsome Dekker Callan, before he can go on the obligatory blind date, his ex asks for a second chance. Believing Dekker can’t possibly be as good on the inside as he looks on the outside, Slade agrees.
Dekker and Slade hit it off immediately, drawn to each other despite Slade being involved with someone else. They finally get their opportunity to be together when Slade finds out his boyfriend is still cheating, but just as they seem to discover the happiness they’ve been waiting for, George throws them one last hurdle—and this one may prove to be insurmountable.

A sweet, but sexy hot, story.
I enjoyed reading Blind Date by Kay Doherty very much. The story grabbed me right from the beginning and held my attention to the extent that I hated putting it down when real life came knocking.
The dating game sequence took me way back to when I watched the TV show by the same name when I was in my teens. I liked how both men were honorable and weren’t willing to do anything that would cause Slade to cheat on his formerly ex-boyfriend who he was giving another chance.
Dekker and Slade are so hot together; their chemistry oozed off of the pages while I was reading the book. There were several tense moments towards the end which caused me to figuratively bite my nails.
My only real complaint about the story was the way that Slade reacted to Dekker’s situation (sorry but I have to be vague to avoid spoilers). Earlier in the story he seemed to be a stronger person and I thought his behavior was a bit out of character for how he was presented in the rest of the book. In spite of that fairly minor issue I loved the story and was very happy for how the author ended the book with a great epilogue.
