Cute premise but the execution of it is rather unsophisticated. The author likes to use movies and actors as shorthand descriptions ("He looked like a young Mel Gibson") and all the heroine's dates are such stereotypes that it's obvious which of them will be the hero. As soon as we find out he's a firefighter, a volunteer, and a dog lover (who rescued his dog from the shelter no less) we know we've found Mr. Right. And sentences like "Finding a descent man isn't easy" don't help. But overall, the story has some cute moments and, of course, ended happily.
