Blurb: David’s mission is underway; go on 52 First Dates and find a husband. It seemed easy to begin with…how hard could dating be?
But with several dates already under his belt, the true difficulty of his challenge is emerging.
Now, with his heart being pulled in many directions, from his fun time friend Rav to one of the Greek twins, Alex, it’s becoming clear that finding a husband is far more than dating; it’s a careful balancing act that has to be done with extreme care and precision.

Review: David is still on his search for a husband, but he keeps getting distracted with his online dating app, a wandering eye and his friend with benefits, Rav. A random hook-up at a bar doesn’t quite go as planned, Alex isn’t as available as David would like, and then there is a new blip on his radar, a very persistent Sam.
Alex seems to be everything David could want in a man, but then so could Rav in many ways. David finds himself really questioning what it is he wants after he and Rav share another passionate tryst, that is followed up with a tender moment of affection that is usually absent between them. Balancing dating, working, Rav, Alex and now the addition of Sam is starting to look more like a juggling act.
While this installment wasn’t as sexy as the previous shorts, it showed some personal growth for David. Something happens that makes him step outside his box, see things a little differently, and consider not only how it makes him feel, but also how his similar actions in the past made people feel.
I’m still a fan of Rav and I can’t help but wonder if David is going to wind up with the familiarity of him in the end, but I can also understand some of David’s reasons for not pursuing a more serious relationship with the sexy man who seriously rocks his world. I loved that David is finally figuring out that it’s not all about the sex, it’s the complete package he wants long-term.
Anxiously awaiting the next episode in this serial with the introduction of Sam and the questions that were left unanswered about Alex. If you like a super sexy story about a guy that is looking for his Mr. Right, then look no further. But please, do start with episode one, that is a must!
