Publisher's summary

For a hopeful and hopeless romantic, it’s love at first sight—with a little twist—in a hilarious short story about finding Mr. Right by the USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game.

Rosie Whittaker and her sister are up for some Galentine’s pampering at a day spa. Getting locked inside a flotation tank is so Rosie. Enter a firefighter hero determined to pry this luckless pearl out of her high-tech shell. All Rosie has to go on is a dreamy voice and a flirty sense of humor. Remain calm, Rosie. This could be what you’ve been waiting for. Is this the man she’s waited for her whole life?

Sally Thorne’s Rosie and the Dreamboat is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

Not your usual first meeting

I enjoyed this short story, which felt like a section of a larger story. I felt like something was missing, perhaps more character development to get into the story. Overall, it was a good read.

Nothing is sexier than a funny, witty man.

This was my favorite of the series. I can’t resist a funny, clever, sweet & sensitive man. *swoon*!

Super cute!

This one was fun! It was definitely a unique way to meet someone and I was laughing out loud at some of the dialogue! Narrator was great!

Heavy claustrophobia content

I did enjoy this sweet little meet cute. I do not usually have any claustrophobia, but it is so heavy in this story, that it still made me very uncomfortable. I do love banter, and there is a lot of good banter in this book. The meet-cute is improbable, in keeping with the parameters of the collection. Beyond that, I did find several key plot elements to be completely unbelievable. The narrator’s performance was excellent. The narrator and the banter bring this up to 3.25 stars for me. Not quite enough to round up to 4.

Romance at its best!

This series has clutched at my heart! This one is another great read to the meet cute romance collection. A short story that packs a punch with how the author was able to create such magic between these two characters with just one scene, and a barrier between them. They got to know each other with just their voices and shared thoughts. Absolutely fantastic!!!

Oh the Banter!

Can I please have a fireman dreamboat? I’m 100% a Rosie and still have a missing earring. This meet cute was by far the most hilarious meet cute. Leo and Rosie’s banter is top notch.

Eh.

Cute but could have done without all the cursing. A male narrator would have been nice, too.
