Book Review: Million Dollar Date by Susan Hatler

Do-Over Date Series: Second Chance Clean Romances Book 1

** #1 New Release in Classic Humor Fiction **

Abigail Apple is running late to meet her blind date when she’s pulled over for speeding. Unfortunately, the follow-the-rules cop doesn’t care that she’s late, let alone that she’s heartbroken because her favorite dog rescue is in danger of being closed. Now she has to meet her date with mud drying on her heels, dog hair covering her dress, and the smell of a barn perfuming her hair. When she arrives, however, Abigail learns her handsome blind date is none other than the cop who pulled her over.

Abigail has no intention of staying until she learns Cooper Hill is heading a committee for the city that will award a six-figure donation to a charity of their choice. So, what’s a girl to do? Abigail decides a second date is the perfect way to convince Cooper to vote for the dog rescue. Soon, however, Abigail is less interested in Cooper’s vote than she is in his deep voice, kind heart, and tender touch.

Will this follow-the-rules cop and this follows-her-heart animal lover learn that despite poor first impressions, second chances can lead to love?

My Review:

It’s a little Keystone Cops, or maybe it’s just Murphy’s Law, and a whole lot Hallmark. I adored Cooper. I’m sure a large part of that is simply because he’s a man in uniform, but he’s also got a lock on all the traits I love in the best book boyfriends: noble, honorable, caring, funny. Abigail drove me crazy most of the time. For someone who had been on such a staid, “straight and narrow” life path, she sure turned out to be awfully flighty. All of my misgivings about the heroine aside, this pair of opposites are a perfect match. They’ve seen the world from each other’s point of view and are able to relate. And when all’s said and done, being able to see eye to eye is all that truly matters. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
