Customer Reviews

Laugh out loud funny

I thought this book was hysterical. I actually kept laughing out loud. The heroine's perspective on guys was way too funny. As far as chick lit, I recommend this one. Too funny.

A blast...the best one yet!

I have been reading these Red Dress Ink books in the order in which they were published, so with Dating Without Novocaine only being my 4th one, I'm not sure if this statement holds merit or not, but it is my absolute favorite one so far! The writing seemed more intelligent, and the subject matter was more realistic to me. I am so pleased with it, I am now looking forward to many more contemporary novels by Lisa Cach.As usual, this story is your typical single-girl-looking-for-love saga. Twenty-nine-year-old Hannah O'Dowd is determined to meet the man of her dreams before her 30th birthday. However, with only four months left to go, the prospects are getting very slim. So with the support of her circle of friends, Hannah kicks her plan into high gear and embarks on a dating whirlwind -- with some very hilarious results.Sound like a cut-out of all the other single-girl books? It is for the most part; however, Lisa Cach has went one further step. Dating Without Novocaine has a special something -- a bright splash of red in the middle of a white wall -- that separates it from the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and despite its predictability, loved turning the pages to see how it would unfold. Hannah has a wonderful web of friends that help keep this story afloat, and Lisa Cach has done a fantastic job of fleshing each one to practically 3D-like proportions. A romantic, realistic romp of a read -- don't miss it!

A satisfying, rewarding read for single ladies

This book is wonderfully true to life. LOVE the descriptions of Hannah's pathetic potential partners, from the gay guy trying to go the hetero route, to the gorgeous policeman with attention deficit disorder, to the handsome and wealthy computer engineer who sports an earring and a frosted-gold pedicure and eats bread that looks like bird food. Every woman who's been on a blind date will identify with Hannah and Feel Her Pain. And I thought the ending was satisfying and empowering. Recommended reading for unpartnered ladies everywhere!

Pure laugh out loud reading.

Meet Hannah the almost 30 year old seamstress who is trying to find the perfect man to marry or date by the age of 30 and she only has a few months to find the man..That is when she finds that placing personal ads on the internet is a good way to find the man she wants. She manages to convince her friends Cass, Louise and Scott to go along with her in this adventure.She manages to meet a lot of pumpkins along the way, from the man who wasn't too sure about himself to the man who painted his toenails... Her dates with these men is pure laughther and enjoyment to read. But the best part of the entire book is her date with the cop in the forrest. Get ready to laugh out loud with this part. Overall this was one of the funniest Red Dress Ink Books I have read and so far I've read them all and loved them all.. These books are just right for a person like me to love and enjoy.

Lots of fun

I bought this book looking for a light, funny read, and it delivered. Hannah, the main character, is a "mistress of the seam" (i.e., a seamstress), who is looking for love in all of the wrong places. Her missteps are hilarious, and they keep the action moving along. Hannah's search for Mr. Man in a Million includes her three friends, all with dating woes of their own. The development of Hannah and her relationship with her friends is terrific. Some of the dialogue is simply priceless, and it had me laughing out loud. Ms. Cach has written a few romances, but this book is definately planted in the real world, and Hannah has real world problems and real world sex. My only quibble with the book is that it was a little predictable. I sincerely hope Ms. Cach has plans to write more books like this one.
