Ellen’s figured out that finding the right guy is all about compatibility. That’s why she signs up for Detailed Dating—the local online dating scene in Sacramento. They ask men the hard questions, compare their answers with hers, then she filters through the profiles of each provided “match.” After numerous email exchanges, she narrows it down to two promising candidates she’s excited to meet in person.

When Ellen’s best friend asks her for a favor, dog-sitting leads to disaster and Ellen ends up at the local vet where she meets a man she can’t get out of her mind. Henry isn’t a logical choice, but she finds herself paying for dog obedience class to spend more time with him.

Ellen knows that in order to have a lasting relationship, she should take the safe route and go for one of the pre-screened guys. But, how can she think with her head when her heart keeps begging her to give Henry a chance?

Love at first Date

26 March 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

At first I thought oh it's one of those silly books that shares her horrible experiences. Then after reading I thought Geez really? Then she met a man at a doggie clinic when she took her friends dog to because she though he was going to die. After getting further into the story I had to laugh at her one safe one. Taking notes on the date marking off what's good ect. It ended well. I was happy with the storyline. I'm glad it worked out for her.
It's a quick read. One you can knock out in about an hour or so.
Worth a read if you like dogs and dating stories.

Love at first glance

22 November 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

I was gifted this book, and I freely chose to read and review it.

Ellen was so insecure about love, that she'd joined a website with a checklist and screening process, determined you could never just fall in love at first sight. Sometimes the numbers have it wrong.
I loved this story, it had all our insecurities, that facts that we never know where love will come from. I'm hooked and can't wait to read the whole series

good clean fun

19 October 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

A fun light read, clean and quite well written, but nothing deep. This was my second book by the author, the first was more a novel rather than a novella, and I preferred the longer story - but this was good for a quick read.

PS Are there really guys around like her 'safe', notepad-carrying date? Scary idea...

Claire - The Coffeeholic Bookworm

Susan Hatler is the queen of short romantic comedies.

26 June 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Ellen is at her thirties, but still single and wary of guys. After her mom's three divorces, she realizes that to be compatible and in sync with a guy is what she needs to get involved in a relationship. So she joins Detailed Dating, an online dating service that measures the compatibility of searchers and searchees. And she gets two matches and will soon be dating one of them.

Rachel, her best friend and office mate gets a date and asks her for a favor - doggie-sitting her dog Chester, who recently chewed on her beautiful black boots. When Chesters seems to have swallowed something, she takes the dog to the nearest vet and meets Henry, the most mysterious man she has ever known. He has recently rescued a dog and names her Kenzie and they're doing an obedience training. He is good-looking, smiles a lot, helps her with training and is fun to be with. What's not to love? Ellen's clearly smitten with the guy, but she doesn't want anything to do with him because he's a complete stranger. She doesn't like asking too many questions about a guy, unless it's all stated in Detailed Dating.

Until Ellen finally gets to date her matches. Until all she thinks about is Henry and his mysterious ways. Until she learns from Rachel that he's not going to get in touch with her again. Bummer!

I love this short story so much. I wish it was longer, though. I love Ellen and her eccentric ways and her naivety. Sure, she's quite closed-minded sometimes, heck, she even annoys me with her compulsive thinking and over-the-top assumptions about Henry. But there's something about her that I found charming about her. I like how she stands her ground and balances her choices, I like how she acts like an awkward teenager when she's around Henry. She's a doll!

I'm liking short stories lately. They satisfy me at some point and makes me think outside the box. I've read some books by Susan Hatler and I always find myself laughing and feeling like a lovestruck idiot in the end, but I don't care. I gotta hand it to Susan, she's the queen of short rom-coms and she deserves it.

Should the young woman pick a potential lover based on compatibility... or on feelings instead?

21 March 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Love at First Date is a novella (150-pages) with definitely a light mood, as any angst are resolved with awkward laughs.

Ellen needed someone to be compatible with her. She does not want to emulate her mother who's always on a different man that's not compatible. She took a whole month to narrow her online dating prospects down to a list of just two. When her dog-sitting for a friend went very wrong, she met Henry at a local vet who saved the not-her-dog. Ellen knew she must know more about Henry, so she signed up for dog obedience school using the not-her-dog. Now Ellen is conflicted... should she date the ones she deemed compatible like her head dictates... or should she go for Henry like her heart dictates? And what happens when her disguise was exposed?

Ah, light-hearted rom-com that's short, sweet, and NOT insta-lust. If you need a "pick-me-up" that's not full of angst, Susan Hatler delivers. The characters are not very deep, but they don't have to be.

Nocturnus

Analysis Or Attraction?

24 December 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This series must be read in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to read Truth Or Date!

Ellen barely knew her farther. She lived through her mother's two disastrous marriages. She refuses to make the same mistakes. So online dating is her thing... It has to work... Doesn't it? She will be happy as long as she plays it safe! Will one of her "smart" choices make her happy? Or is she going about this in the wrong way?

***This fun *short* chiclit series is suitable for young adult through adult readers who enjoy *clean* romance and offbeat humor :)

Cute but quick read!

11 November 2013 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Watching her mother go through a couple of failed marriages, Elle had figured out that the key to finding the right guy for oneself is through compatibility. That was also what the site Detailed Dating promised when she signed up. After going through initial screening, she had found two men that just might be the right guy for her.

Everything was going great until she is forced to watch her best friends dog. When Ella believed the dog is choking due to eating something from her purse, she takes him to the Vet only to stumble into an Obedience class for dogs and a very handsome guy named Henry who had just saved the little pups life. Now Henry tests all logical that she had set out for herself when it comes to love and finding the right man.

Cute quick read. It was a short story, which was sad really but I did thor
oughly enjoy it! It was done in first person, in this case we get into Ella's mind and I did enjoy her tone. I thought she was funny and amusing. I think I also understand where she was coming from with the way she had approached dating and meeting the right man. Of course Ella learns that nothing is always what it seems and that compatibility is only a small part of meeting the right person. It was entertaining watching Ella go through the dates and how each and one of them had thought of something about love that she did not know before.

I did really like Henry, of course I was with Ella on the same page when he wouldn't answers her questions they way she wanted them too. But at the same time, Ella evaded direct questions as he had evaded giving her direct answers. Still, there was attraction between them and the gift he gave her was quiet thoughtful!

Sure this book has a bit of an insta-love theme going on, but it's forgivable as it really was just a quick, clean adult romance. Quiet enjoyable that left a smile on my face.

SWEET and UNEXPECTED...LOVED IT!

23 January 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Loved this cute fluffy story of a thirty year old Ellen who joined an online dating site to find her perfect match. But Ellen doesn’t find Mr. Right where she expects to find him. This is a cute story about finding true love and following your heart. Its about taking a chance at the unexpected and embracing who you are. Ellen didn't want to be like her mom with several failed marriages and so her journey leads her on an adventure she will surely remember. I really loved this story especially the ending, AWE!!
