3.5 StarsThis was an engaging and entertaining short story. Beth is finally convinced to take a chance on Valentine's Day via an evening of speed dating in the hope of finding someone special.  Dumped a year ago following a single night of bliss by the man she had secretly been in love with for years, Beth is giving up pining for what she can never have.Nathan knew he has to try one more time to convince Beth he loves her.  So he has returned determined to try one last time.  With the intervention of Nate's cousin and Beth's mother, Nate signs up for the Speed Dating event also.  He has eight minutes to make his case.This was a cute little read that I enjoyed, but felt it needed a bit more tension and conflict.  I also would have liked to have had Beth pay a little more attention to the other gentleman at the event - at least superficially.  That could have set up the opportunity for some humorous bits and would have lightened the story, especially since she does not hear the big revelation from Chris until late in the evening.  Personally, I feel there will be plenty of conflict ahead for this couple thanks in large part to Nathan's domineering mother.This book was given to me by the author in return for my honest review.Reviewed by Laurie-J
