Sally Thorne has a way of making us believe all the “romance” situations! I really liked the meet-cute of these two, but I’m not sure I’m totally okay with her sister abandoning her. Maybe Sally can continue this story!

This was cute! Good banter, the characters are definitely “quirky” but the story is funny and I like the ending.

OH MY DREAMY STARS 🌟 !!!! What an adorably cute and absolutely absurd short story that had me grinning and giggling!! Rosie and the Dreamboat, the third installment of The Improbable Meet-Cute series, features elements such as love at first sight (with a twist), serendipitous meeting, forced proximity, and a closed door romance. Within this heartwarming narrative, you will find a lovely mix of witty banter, instant connection, emotional depth, and naturally, the perfect blend of romance and humor. The story is about finding love and Mr. Right when you least expect it! I absolutely loved this book so much!!

Rosie Whittaker and her sister indulge in some Valentine's pampering at a day spa where Rosie's penchant for adventure leads her to getting locked inside a flotation tank. Yikes, so scary

•!! Enter a firefighter hero, determined to rescue this luckless pearl from her high-tech shell. With nothing but a dreamy voice and a flirty sense of humor to go on, Rosie must remain calm. Could this unexpected encounter be the moment she's been waiting for her whole life?

Overall, this was a delightful romance and I do highly recommend! I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series! 🩵🩵🩵🩵

What. This book only has 43 pages, but those 43 pages had a lot. And I enjoyed every page!

“She’s my bravest little clamshell trooper this side of the city.”

The story, the banter, the concept - it was so adorable. I think that's what we have to expect from this series - girls meeting the love of their lives at the most random times. And the ending if this book was just unexpected...

“Well, compared to her, I’m a late bloomer.”
“I hear some roses are.”

The only thing I felt was that the book could be longer (and the fact that Rosie and Leo were acting a bit babyish?). We could have more time to connect with the characters. But besides that, it was a fun, quick read, and I would like to read more from Sally Throne.

“Mr. Husband,” Bree says to him with supreme satisfaction, “I can’t tell you how long we’ve been waiting for you to show up.”
