Rosie and the Dreamboat
Rosie and the Dreamboat | Sally Thorne
14 posts | 21 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
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.

I finished this story earlier in the week & it was cute although I didn‘t like it as much as the Abby Jimenez one. I read it for my Kindlle Summer Reading Challenge & I think it was too short for me to get invested in the characters, but it had some sweet moments. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, I can‘t imagine going into, let alone being trapped for hours in a flotation tank at a spa-my claustrophobia could never! 😱

My strategy of focusing on novellas and audiobooks paid off because I had a great reading month, despite welcoming the newest member of my family in April and all the sleep deprivation that comes with it.

3/5

When Rosie and her sister go for a spa day, the last thing she expects is to be trapped in a float pod and to make a connection with the firefighter who rescues her. This is a very short story that just focuses on these two characters meeting. I found Rosie a little annoying, but I think it's hard to get a lot of personality into such a short story.

It is free if you have amazon prime, but it's so short I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.

Making my way through the "Impossible Meet Cute Collection"

This one was #MoreMehThanYeah until that unexpected (and rather tiny thing) that gave the story an interesting twist.

Rosie treats her sister to a luxurious spa day and gets trapped in the floating tank. An embarrassing situation turns into an impossible meet cute.

Low pick. Not quite as cute as the previous two stories in this collection, which I really loved. But still entertaining while I was driving. This one was comedic, but the way Rosie and Leo talked to one another was so corny.

I‘ve read one of Sally Thorne‘s other books in the past and loved it completely—>99 Percent Mine.

Not my favorite in this series, it was the first that the characters met in real life and the dialogue was a bit cringe honestly. Rosie gets stuck in a sensory deprivation floating chamber at the spa and a dreamboat firefighter comes to rescue her from her bad luck. Maybe it would have been better with some of Leo's pov but the instalove was a bit much for me here.

I blew through all of the short stories in the #ImprobableMeetCute series and blacked out my #BookspinBingo card! These are each funny and sweet, I think the tagged story and the ones by Abby Jimenez and Christina Lauren were my favorites. Perfect for Valentine‘s Day, and free in ebook (or #audio !) for amazon prime members.

julieclair How fun! Thanks for sharing! 9mo
Read4life Glad you enjoyed them! I have them on my February #BookSpinBingo list. 9mo
peanutnine I just finished the first one by Christina Lauren and it was so cute! Excited to continue the rest, glad you enjoyed them all 💕 9mo
