Million Dollar Date is filled with romance and laughter! Susan Hatler is the best at clean romcom and this one is at the top of my favorite list. A matter of chance has Abigail running late for a date, who happens to be the same man who gave her a speeding ticket. Cooper doesn't fall for her tricks, but he plays along, which is even more entertaining. A clean romance, with humor and animals pulling at your heartstrings, this was the perfect combination.

The story of Abigail and Cooper. When they first meet they don't know each other and get off to a bad start - he is a cop giving her a speeding ticket. Later the same day she realises he is her date, and plans to get through the evening as quickly as possible - until she realises that he could help save her friends charity. She sets out to get him to support her, but as they spend more time with each other they are falling for each other.

Fun and entertaining short read.

I enjoyed this short clean romance. Animals have a special place in my heart so having a dog rescue as part of the storyline made it hard for me to put down. I feel that both main characters, Abigail and Cooper, are well developed for such a short book. While at first this seems to be a simple opposites attract romance, there is a lot more to this storyline. I love that we find out what made the characters into the people they are in the book. The author does a great job of setting up scenes at the different locations in the book. Her descriptions made me feel like I was there with the characters. The secondary characters in this book are also interesting and leave lots of options for more books in this series.

Overall, this is a fun sweet read with puppies, a somewhat goofy heroine, and a handsome hero in uniform. . What more can you ask for?

O' goodness! Where do I even begin with this one?? First off, I loved, loved this book! Susan Hatler has once again given us a great read that has it all. Great characters that you fall in love with immediately, humor, wit, romance and dogs!! Lots of dogs! What a great read!

Abigail Apple is on her way to a blind date when she gets pulled over for speeding. She is running late as it is because she was at her friend's rescue helping with the dogs. Abigail loves to be with Reagan and the dogs on the ranch. It is her happy place. Reagan has just given her some bad news tough that her landlord is not going to renew her rent. She is going to have to shut the rescue down if she can't come up with money to buy the ranch or find a new place that is willing to rent to her for cheap. Abigail is heart broken and talks to Reagan for a few minutes too long, that is why she is speeding to get to her date. Now Abigail is not going to be able to swing by her house to change before she goes to meet her blind date. The cop that stops her has no sympathy at all and gives her a ticket for speeding. Abigail deems him a robot.

When Abigail steps into the restaurant and is being lead to her table by the waiter, she knows that this is some cruel joke that someone is playing on her, her blind date can NOT be the cop that just pulled her over! There is no way. Well, guess what! It sure is! Abigail is not too happy with Cooper and she lets him know it. The date does not go as planned and Abigail is relentless to Mr. Robot.

This book is part of the Do Over Series and I love it. Not the Do Over that you are thinking about, but I love how Susan Hatler wrote it into this story. I don't want to give away any more than I already have because you will love reading this one and getting caught up in it as you read. Such a great read! You won't put it down once you start!

I voluntarily read and reviews this book. All opinions are my own. Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for an advanced copy of this book! Great read!

This story was occasionally enjoyable but I didn't love it so that's why I gave it 3 stars. Both main characters seemed flawed to me. Abigail acts like a spoiled brat who only cares about her project getting funded. Cooper is the guy who always does the right thing. I couldn't connect with either of them. So-so.

Super cute book. Very easy to read with a great under story with a love story on top. It took me a day to read and it was so good.

Million Dollar Date is an enjoyable read. The dogs will steal your heart. Characters are interesting mix of emotions. You'll find hearts leading dissidents and heads coming in behind. All will work out.

Million Dollar Date is a short but sweet story about how opposites attract. Abigail Apple is a free spirited animal lover who meets uptight police officer Cooper when he gives her a speeding ticket, only to find out a short time later that he is her blind date.

Despite seemingly opposite personalities, they are instantly attracted to one another. While Abigail fights the attraction, Cooper is all in. Can Abigail get around her preconceived ideas and give Cooper a chance?

So funny, this sweet and clean novella flies by. Opposites attract - and complement each other well - in this story about an emotional and spunky woman who meets a stoic and rule-abiding cop. Abigail is passionate about animals, and when her friend’s dog rescue is threatened, she goes into a bit of a tailspin. Letting her emotions rule, she winds up getting pulled over for speeding on her way to a date, and no matter how much she tries, the cop won’t accept her excuses. When she makes it to her date, the man waiting for her is none other than the cop who pulled her over.

These two might not see eye to eye on a lot of things, but there is no denying the sparks that fly between them. It’s a novella so there isn’t a ton of depth to the relationship (and really, I would’ve loved a full length book about these two), but the connection is obvious. There is great bickering/banter, depending on how you see it, and a lightness to the book. I got frustrated with Abigail a few times, but Cooper really does mellow her out well. Thank you, Netgalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this quick but hysterical read.

It's a story of how opposites attract. Cooper, a police officer, gives Abigail a ticket for speeding. She's having a horrible day and tries to sweet talk her way out of it. Cooper refuses to give her a warning and as luck would have it. they meet up less than an hour later for a blind date. They quickly realize that they have little in common, she's a free spirit and he's a by-the-book rule follower. Abigail learns during the date that Cooper has the ability to save the dog shelter she loves that's in danger of closing so she persuades him to try a do-over date. As they learn more about each other, they discover that they actually have more in common than they thought but their relationship is tested when Cooper has to make a decision on whether or not to save the dog shelter.
I couldn't relate to Abigail's character. I thought she was immature and self-centred and I would have liked a little more insight into Cooper. Still, it was a sweet story with a sense of humour. If you love dogs. you'll enjoy the read.
