By: Sally Thorne

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.

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.

I usually hate the stuck trope

But this was a super cute spin on it. Seriously loved it, it’s not an elevator either if you’re wondering.

So Adorable

Omg, this was so totally adorable.
An Amazon Original, part of the Kindle Unlimited catalog.

Quick to Finish

Not one of my favorites but enjoyed anyway. Nice ending after being stuck in flotation tank.

Love it

I loved this short story! It’s a perfect story listen and have an instant happy mood

Adorable little story

Loved this short! Funny, cute girl and guy. So far my favorite of the Meet Cute series!

I mean it’s cute

It’s cute, but so cheesy at times feels like it was being stretched for some reason. The audio performance was confusing as some of the voices (like the sisters) are almost exactly the same. It’s hard to figure out who is who.

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.

Such an adorable meet cute!

Perfect! Just the right length and speed for a novella. You won’t be disappointed! So cute!
