About this listen

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.

Cute

Actually a cute story. The male narrator totally sold the character and I could feel his total infatuation with our heroine. Short and sweet and left me wanting more. Sarina Bowen never disappoints with her writing.

Sweet Story

This was a short and sweet story. I wish there was a continuation so we could see where this two love birds relationship could go.

Great story

OK, so this was a really short book to listen to but in that short little book, it was full of information. This is a great series. I accidentally read how to order, so I wanted to make sure to go back to the first one and I was pleasantly surprised. The narration was amazing.

amazing!

what an adorable easy listen with great humor-many lol moments-LOVE Saskia for narration as the female ...I've listened to loads of authors who have had her narrate their whole series and I happen to really truly enjoy listening to her voice! The male narrator was perfection for the role also 👌🏼 I simply adored this novella. I was in a cr*ppy mood and this is just what I needed to put me in quite much lighter and positive frame of mind tbh!! also it may have given me a smidge of hope 🤏🏼 that truly there are some nice guys out there...they may not be as mythical as thr unicorn! AND tall AND Jewish like me!?!😱 WHAT WHAAAAT!!! 😆 🫶🏼🙌🏼
5stars hands down! go 4 it!
u won't regret it! its EXTREMELY well written with plenty of laugh out loud Moneta & the choice of narrators is absolute perfection and hardy har to Dash bc hes a total T*$t!! I love that we got that little peek into HIS brain!!! who would have thunk that? The brain dead twerp!! I ❤️ Andy. Can her sorority make THAT t shirt??? 🤣

Well worth your money! Sweet & well done!

Andrew Isaac Baschnagel. Now THAT'S a name of a guy I'm interested in. *Jew Alert*

I've really enjoyed each and every book in this series, especially the to DIE for The Understatement of the Year, which is expertly narrated, BTW, and Blonde Date was another good one. Again, Saskia Maarleveld does a decent job reading, but there is something about her voice that sounds too old for NA to me. Nick Podehl was awesome again as the slightly dorky and awesome Andy.

What impressed me most about this book was the fab sex-positive message (even when you are doubting yourself- every girl has been there!), and the lovely beta hero male MC. I am totally gaga over a beta man, and a Jewish beta man who plays sports?! Now I'm verklempt!

Short, sweet, and well done, I hope we get more stories out of these characters in the future. Awesome again, Sarina Bowen!

Loved it

A wonderful novella by Sarina Bowen! Lots of heart and humor. Both narrators did a good job, but the male narrator was outstanding and had me laughing until I cried during the sex scene! Wrapping up the story from Dash’s perspective added more heart and closure to the story too. I’m so glad I decided on this story today. Likable characters in real situations. You’ll be rooting for the underdog that the shy awkward guy is treated well by the popular sorority girl.

Short, sweet & funny!

This was a cute! Absolutely loved Andy! Katie was a sweetheart too. Tired of the jerky jocks, Katie goes on a date with Andy, a fellow college student and basketball player. I guess basketball is far less popular at this school. Beauty and the geek? Sort of. Nothing better than a nice guy who doesn’t know he’s hot.

Really cute short story!

Loved the chemistry between the two of them and the story. Wish it was longer. That is the reason it got 4 instead of 5 for story. It was great! Short and sweet!
