Dog sitting leads to adventure when Ellen signs up for doggie school after meeting Henry during an emergency trip to the vet.

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

Reviewed in Australia on 26 March 2015

Verified 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.

fun quick read

Reviewed in Australia on 16 September 2019

A fun quick read with an interesting storyline. I've done the online dating and its so much more fun finding love unexpectedly. It's funny how you think you want one thing but end up with something totally different.

good clean fun

Reviewed in Australia on 19 October 2017

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...

Love at first glance

Reviewed in Australia on 22 November 2016

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

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.

Lovely story.

Fun and Quirky romance novella

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2019

Verified Purchase

This novella is fabulous start to the Better Date Than Never series. It is a fun, quirky story about relationship expectations and ensuring you meet Mr Right. Fun and feisty characters demonstrate that whilst you can focus on compatibility and logic, love doesn’t play be the rules and has no interest in your ‘best laid plans’.

I highly recommend this delightful novella and the entire series!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Different from the last series but just as good.

What a brilliant first book in this series. I don't know if it's slightly shorter than the previous books or if it just seemed that way because I was enjoying it so much..Ellen had such preconceived ideas about marriage and I really enjoyed watching Henry get under her skin against her better judgment. I was so sorry to get to the end of the story.

Title: Love At First Date
Series: Better Date Than Never (#1)
Author: Susan Hatler
From: Amazon
Genre: Romance
Release Date: 27th September 2014
Challenges: N/A
Links: Goodreads - Amazon

Having watched her mother's failed relationships, Ellen thinks she knows what she wants; a man that's compatible with her, never mind all the instant connection and chemistry that people seem to go on about. When her friend needs her to puppy sit, Ellen reluctantly agrees and ends up taking Chester the miniature beagle to the vets when he chocks on a hair ball. There she meets Henry, a man that makes her pulse race and has her signing up for dog training lessons...

Susan Hatler really knows how to write a cute book. Love at First Date was short and sweet, and so long as you go into it expecting a quick romance and something a little short of insta-love, then it can be just what you need. For me this kind of book is a "filler" read, one when I don't want to get stuck into something heavy going or long, I just want a little bit of fun. And it serves it's purpose.

I liked that Ellen was using online dating, I don't think that that form of dating gets enough coverage in books. At the end of the day, this is a modern world and books should reflect that dating can happen online. I did also like that it didn't necessarily work and she actually found someone in a far more old fashioned way. It was definitely cute!

Something else that I liked is that Ellen never pretended to be someone else. She never pretended that Chester was her dog, or that she wasn't using online dating, or that she was worried about finding someone stable. Ellen was Ellen from the beginning of the book to the end, and I liked that.

This is definitely a quick light hearted read, but I enjoyed it for that purpose!

Avid romance fan

A really short, fun read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2019

Ellen is using a dating website to try and find a compatible partner. Out of the two she selects to meet, one had posted an inaccurate photo and the other is incredibly annoying. Meanwhile she puppy sits for her friend, enrols for doggy behaviour classes and meets Henry, who she has instant chemistry with. Some really funny moments along the way in this one. Read an ARC for an honest review.
