Hi everybody.
Thanks for coming to Barbara’s blog today! And a mega-hug and SUPER thank you to Barbara for hosting me today, especially since she’s on her own book release tour! I know how busy you are, Barbara. ;) I appreciate you taking time for me.
(Barbara here: Cynthia, you know it’s my pleasure!)
I hope you’ve been enjoying Texas Two Step-The Prequel. If you’re just joining the tour today for the first time, today’s episode of The Prequel will provide links to the earlier posts. Today’s installment is The Date-Part Three. Mitch has taken Olivia to the most expensive, most exclusive restaurant in Dallas. I called it The Fireplace Restaurant at Grayson Mansion. (See pictures.) The restaurant was modeled after The Mansion Restaurant in the famous (and fabulous) The Mansion at Turtle Creek. 
Since doing my research on this restaurant and writing this scene, I’m sorry to say I won’t be eating there soon. The prices would give my husband a heart attack. When you read today’s episode, you’ll understand what I mean.
But writing this scene made me wonder about the ideal or fantasy date. I’m working on book two of the Texas Montgomery Mavericks Series and there has to be a number of dates in there. So dating and impressive dates are foremost on my mind.
So let’s talk dates today. Do you have a favorite date you went on? Or how about a date location you’d love to go on? Describe your fantasy date!
