Let me start out by saying that this is the second installment of this amazing series, and I highly suggest you take the time to read Jake!
This book focuses on Evan, who we meet in the first book of the series. Evan is a silent backer of a dating business called "Blind Date", which is owned by Kayla, a wonderful woman we also met in the first installment. Kayla and Evan have a good friendship, but that seems to be all, at least on the surface. Evan's friends talk him into trying out the Blind Date, just as he had talked his friend Jake into doing. The rules stayed the same, four women would be chosen, one by each of Evan's friends, and he would go on a blind date with all of them. Evan has a terrible experience with the first two dates, but the third seems so right to him, that he feels almost comfortable, almost familiar.
This is an amazing short and beautiful read, and I highly recommend that you take the time to read the first installment and keep your eyes open for the third book! I'll be impatiently awaiting its release! <3

I really loved this book! The story flows and the romance moves right along. The book kept me engaged and I could have read this in one day but I had to break it into two because you know…life. I enjoyed the characters.
Kayla and Evan had a hard time getting together. Multiple things stood in their way or jumped in their way as the story moved along. I was rooting for them the while time. That first kiss!!! WOW! It gave me chills! Soo Sexy! There is nothing better than a good first kiss. It grabs the reader's attention.
The ending seemed kind of rushed to me. I was surprised neither of the MC had a problem with the way things went down. Feathers ruffled at least. I wish that could have been fixed earlier then time could have been spent on the suspense part and not doing both together.
Overall its a wonderful and enjoyable story. Filled with a lot of lightheartedness, suspense and fun characters. I look forward to more in the series.

I enjoyed reading this steamy romance story. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. This is my favorite book by her. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her writing skills and her ability to bring her stories to life. They are fast paced and hard to put down. This book is no different. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. The characters are relatable and added so much to the story. This is a story where a couple of bad dates turn into something that was never expected. Will these partners find more than just a partnership? I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.

I love this series. You can read it as a stand alone or the series. I recommend read book 1 first. Evan's story is sweet and romantic. His dates are an adventure. He and Kayla are meant to be and the trick is to realize it. I enjoyed reading their story. A truly wonderful friends to lovers story. Sweet and romantic, the characters are well done and feel like friends. I do wish Luke would get what's coming to him. Such a young turkey, lol. The story is perfect for the both them to go through the restaurant. You should read this series. I strongly recommend it.

This is the 2nd book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series, and it was just as good as the first. I love the connection of this group of friends. They are always there for each other no matter what. Evan has been a silent partner in Kayla’s brain child Blind Dates and now he was on blind dates of his own there. Would he find love? Would Kayla ever tell him how she really feels about him? If all the crazy things that were happening with the restaurant would stop, maybe they could figure it all out. I can’t wait to read the next book!!!!

This is such a great read and continuation for this series. If you haven't read the previous book don't worry you can 100% read this as a stand alone and thoroughly enjoy it but I still recommend reading them all to further enhance your enjoyment.
Kayla and Evan are friends and business partners who are both very attracted to each other but fear taking it further in case it doesn't work out and they ruin the wonderful friendship they have built. Reading how they navigate through those feelings all while dealing with some very difficult times ( I don't want to give anything away so I won't say anything about that) made for a truly wonderful read. This author is truly talented and I can't wait to read more not only from this series but also from this author.

Evan is a captivating billionaire contemporary romance story. It is the second book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series and Evan and Kayla’s story. I loved the first book but of all Toni’s books this is my favourite to date. Toni has taken a different approach with this series where the characters have to rely on their other senses when going on a blind date. A place you get to know someone in the dark. A literal blind date. Preconceived ideas are put on the back burner when you visit the Blind Date. It’s a place where you can meet someone without having to worry about safety. It’s a place that everyone is raving about.
The characters are interesting and the chemistry is sizzling hot. There is also a little drama, some angst. I enjoyed the easy banter between the male group of friends they make me laugh.
Being the creator and owner makes it easy for her to help others find their one true love but not her. At least she thought not BUT her blind date doesn’t know who she is.
He likes to be behind the scenes but after his friend found love he wonders what or who is out there. Encouraged to find his own romantic adventure he decides to give it a go. What he doesn’t know is that the one he is seeking advice from is the same one who has been on his mind.

Will it all come crashing down or will they find their HEA?
I look forward to reading the stories of the remaining friends.
