About this item

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.

These short stories are basically candy. Leo IS a dreamboat, I just want to keep reading their daily banter back and forth for another 4 books. Such a fun read!

A quick but absolutely adorable read! Loved Rosie, and it was an exceptionally creative meet-cute. Sally Thorne does not disappoint! I would have loved to see these two in a longer story but I recognize that part of the charm is that we only see a very brief snippet of these two finding one another.

It was a improbable meet cute story that was well written, with the banter being witty and amusing. I listened to the audio version, and I mean no hate to the narrator by saying this, but the narration would have been much better by using a male voice actor to play Leo. Still an okay cute quick read!

It was a sweet, short, cute meet-fute. I would've liked more description of the characters but it was a cute intermission kind of story.

Rosie the sister who works in a plant shop takes her sister the attorney out for a galentines day spa treat since they were both solo. It’s clear that Rosie adores her sister Bree, but it’s also clear that she feel like she doesn’t match up to Bree who she calls “the whole package” and who men supposedly look past Rosie and at Bree.

Part of the spa package is a salt water immersion tank that programs different sounds and scenes into. Bree’s worked great, but Rosie’s stayed dark and wouldn’t open. The fire department had to be called because the spa couldn’t seem to get the tank to open and the instructions were in Japanese. The spa did not want to damage the tank and kept asking for more time, meanwhile a fireman was making Rosie laugh and vice versa.

To tell any more would give away the story, but it was a fun and very cute short story about how love can meet you when you least expect it. There was a little tangy language, but otherwise safe for young adults.

This was definitely the most unique short story so far of this little series, just not quite as much substance as the first two stories. Very sweet meet cute, though, of Rosie and Leo. I liked both the MCs and the only side character we met in Rosie's sister Bree. Would have liked a little more...

I’ll admit that I wasn’t sure where this story was going to go but it was super cute in the end.
