About this ebook

A heartwarming opposites-attract romance about unexpected love, canine chaos, and trusting your instincts.

Ellen believes lasting love comes from logic—not luck—so she turns to Detailed Dating, a compatibility-based site designed to eliminate surprises. But a surprise dash to the emergency vet leads her to Henry, a charming dog owner with a playful smile and no credentials for long-term success. . . according to any algorithm.

Drawn in by Henry’s easy charm, Ellen finds herself enrolling in dog obedience classes just to see him again. As their connection deepens through quiet moments and laughter, Ellen begins to question if she should stick with her plan—or take a leap of faith on the man who makes her feel truly alive.

From a New York Times bestselling author, don’t miss this feel-good romance about letting go of control and discovering love where you least expect it in THE HAPPIEST PLACE.

Cute and sweet and fluffy. This story is really quite light-hearted, but at the same time it takes on the big topic of expectations – both our own and those of others. There’s an old saying I remember hearing somewhere that amounts to: when a human plans, the gods laugh. Ellen’s dating experiences are a pretty good example of this. I loved watching Ellen learn that you can’t plan for everything, and that sometimes the best things in your life are a little different than you thought they’d be.

Ellen's got online dating down to a science. She's made spreadsheets to analyze potential mates according to compatibility scores, and has narrowed down the field. Then, she meets Henry at a dog obedience class. Suddenly compatibility scores seem way less important than how he makes her laugh. And how they can converse effortlessly. And how he makes her tingle all over. But can attraction really predict long-term happiness? I enjoyed this novella more than I expected to. Light and fun and flirty, it goes down like sweet iced tea on a hot summer's day. It's got enough substance that you can connect emotionally to the characters, yet it never feels heavy. It's the perfect beach read.
