Cheryl Anne Porter

ISBN: 0373692099
Construction worker Joe Rossi is in Tampa visiting his Great Uncle Maury Seeger when he finds an irate female in the men’s fitting room of a department store. She mumbles something about women’s rooms out of the way before leaving. The next day Joe goes to pick up a blind date that Maury arranged for him. To his shock and elation she is the shopper. Though embarrassed Meg Kendall, a local teacher, goes out with Joe. They have a good time together though Joe feels bad because he has a girlfriend back home.
As Joe and Meg continue to see one another, Maury warns them to go into hiding because some of his friends are coming to break his legs. Not believing his Mafia’s stories, they still go off together because they are at6tracted to one another. However, both may be falling love, but Joe goes home soon once the goons stop chasing Meg and Maury.
Cheryl Anne Porter passed away in the summer, but left her fans with a terrific legacy including the wildly inane BLIND DATE. The story line stars two people falling in love in a contemporary main plot while in the backdrop New Jersey visitors are cleaning up a family matter that dates back to the sixties and Maury. Fans will enjoy the duality of a serious romance blending with amusing mob “suspense” as Ms. Porter pays homage to herself and her readers with this fine Temptation.
