the man said as soon as she stepped into the passenger seat. “I’m hoping you are Tara Jacobs and not some strange woman who just happens to be waiting curbside for men to pick up.” Tara smiled stiffly at the offensive comment that she might be a prostitute. “I’m Tara. And you’re Jeffrey?” she confirmed. Wow, she really wouldn’t tell Max that she’d gotten into someone’s car before confirming that he was the right person. He’d not like that at all. Well, she understood that he didn’t like the idea of her going out on a blind date in the first place, but she ignored that and tried to warm up to the man. She couldn’t tell how tall he was since he was in the car, but he had a nice enough face, in a soft kind of way. He had a hairline that was almost to the middle of his head and soft blue eyes. He definitely wasn’t Max, but then, who was? Tara stopped that thought process. Max was interested only in her business skills. She was not going to let her infatuation with the man linger any longer, hence the blind date. Besides, Max needed to find his future queen she reminded herself. That fact definitely ruled her out of his future. That thought brought to mind the woman he was with and that he was probably having a wonderful time with the blond nemesis so she needed to concentrate and have a nice evening herself.
