About this ebook

A humorous story about a mistake leading to love that will give you the warm fuzzies.

Mary Ann Nielsen lives by her one-strike-and-you’re-out dating policy, but she’s always open to meeting the right guy. When she accidentally rear-ends handsome Trevor Brooks on her way to a charity auction to buy back her beloved grandmother’s long lost bracelet, she figures this unconventional meeting could at least turn into a hot date. Wrong. Trevor is annoyingly responsible and more concerned with insurance reports than responding to her flirting so he earns three strikes right off the bat. 

Flustered from the car accident and being rejected by gorgeous Trevor, Mary Ann mistakenly bids on the wrong auction item and loses out on reclaiming her grandmother’s bracelet. Instead, she wins four dates on a reality TV show with none other than stuffy Trevor Brooks. Now she’s broke and the only way to get the money to buy back her special family heirloom is to win the grand prize money from the televised couples competition by convincing the audience that she and Trevor are in love.

While dating Trevor on the show, Mary Ann discovers the reliable analyst is fun and kind-hearted. In fact, the more she finds out about him the more she starts to fall for him. Could giving Trevor a second chance mean winning not just the TV show and her grandmother’s bracelet but the love that Mary Ann has always dreamed of?

Ratings and reviews

Susan Hatler has created another hilariously entertaining addition to her Better Date Than Never Series. I have not yet read the entire series but am halfway there. Date and Dash continues Ms. Hatler's legacy of neurotically obsessive serial daters trying to find and hold on to that special someone. A comedic treasure. Received a copy of Date and Dash for an honest review.

Rushing to a charity auction to buy back her grandmother's bracelet, Mary Ann rear-ends handsome Trevor's classic Mustang. Upset by the delay, she calls a friend to bid on the lot number for her. But when she finally gets to the venue, she discovers that her friend has bid on the wrong item: an entry into a dating TV show. With Trevor as her partner. Now the only way she can afford to buy back the bracelet is to win the dating contest. Can uptight Trevor and free-spirit Mary Ann convince viewers it's true love? This is a cute, heartfelt story. Mary Ann is impulsive and a people pleaser, and she's forced to come to terms with what really matters. Trevor is her opposite, and she helps him learn how to relax and put the past behind him. Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I didn't like her attitude from the beginning and it didn't get better. I feel bad for the guy.
