Love At First Date
(Better Date Than Never, #1)
by Susan Hatler
Ellen may not believe in storybook love, but it's about to rewrite her life . . .
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?

Excerpt
Holding Rachel’s bright yellow dishtowel under
Chester’s saliva-dripping mouth, I panicked at the morphed sounds he was making.
“Hang in there, dude.”
I shifted him in my arms then slammed on the metal
bell some more. “Does anyone work here?”
“Can I help?” A male voice came
from behind me.
“Yes, this dog got into my purse
and—” I paused mid-sentence as my gaze met dark gray eyes that sent a bolt of
adrenaline through me. My heart flipped in my chest. Not an appropriate reaction
when Rach’s dog could be dying. “I-I think he ate something toxic. Maybe my
lip-gloss? Are you the vet? Can you give him that charcoal stuff to make him
barf it up?”
He studied Chester’s half-open
mouth. “Try setting him down. I’ll take a look.”
“Thanks.” I knelt, still holding
the towel under his mouth—because, ew,
slobber all over the place.
The vet dropped to his knees
next to Chester and pried his little jaw open.
Hech! Hech!
As he examined the dog’s throat,
I couldn’t help checking him out. There
was something going on behind those dark eyes that had me dying to learn
everything about him. Where he was from, what made him tick, what he looked for
in a girl . . .
My pulse slammed into
overdrive.
Weird that the vet was wearing
sweats, though. Maybe he’d finished with his last patient and was going for a
run? Definitely looked like a guy who worked out regularly. Yeah, that’s what I
should be thinking about while my friend’s dog was gagging for his life. What
was wrong with me? Focus, Ellen. “Can
you save him?”
