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.

This was cute and quick

Rosie and the Dreamboat by Sally Thorne
Narrated by Bailey Carr

This was cute. Rosie is a hot mess who gets locked in a floatation unit and is rescued by a wonderful firefighter after they fall for each other sight unseen.

The silly flirty banter made this one pretty cute, but I had a hard time telling what was a thought and what was dialogue in the audiobook. This was super-short, but it really worked as a short story.

Cute, but.....

3.5 Stars

Cute, but a bit too improbable. FMC gets "trapped" in a spa type soaking machine (think closed clamshell - at least that's what I pictured.) Anyway, the fire department is called and one firefighter stays with her for the 4 hours that she is trapped in the dark.

He happens to fall for her in this time and she seems to feel the same.

Again, cute.....but ........

Brief but cute rom-com

Cute rom-com short story. Author managed to develop characters well in brief amount of time. Excellent narration. Unique story of how characters meet.

So good!

Another perfect short story in this utterly adorable series 🥰 I’ve been reading the series on my kindle and listening to the audiobooks. They are available on KU. I’m definitely investing in a physical copy. I can see myself rereading this series time and time again.

Flirty and adorable!

When day spa trips go wrong, you find Mr. Right. This was flirty and adorable with the occasional laugh.
