Bought a duplicate copy by accident for a secret santa exchange. So I will set up a bookring for this one.

Book description:

Dentophobe Hannah O'Dowd is almost 30 and she's determined to find a husband. She and her cozy circle of single friends live in Portland, Oregon, a city of 2 million souls, roughly half of which are male. Hannah hatches a plan to find her one man in a million via free Internet dating services--and challenges her friends to do the same. Unfortunately, all of Hannah's dates are turning out worse than your average root canal.
Lisa Cach's Dating Without Novocaine is a witty, sexually frank look at what a smart self-employed woman might do to find the man of her dreams. Will she make the first move on Wade, the wildlife biologist who keeps asking her out but has yet to even hold her hand? Will she agree to a second date with Pete, the hunky cop with attention deficit disorder? Could she possibly be attracted to a wealthy computer engineer who paints his toenails gold? Hannah's sure the right guy is out there, it's just a matter of finding him.

Like Bridget Jones's Diary and television's Sex and the City, Cach's first contemporary romance presents a single girl who has great friends and a variety of unacceptable romantic prospects. Wiser than Bridget and warmer than Sex's Carrie, Hannah may find her man just in time.

I am sooo sorry for keeping this soo long. My life fell apart as soon as i got it. It was an ok book. I read it during a very long and delayed train ride home ... i really hated the storyline ... but otherwise i was very happy to be part of the bookring ... its an easy read - but there are better chicklit books out there ...

This book arrived yesterday. I have two bookring books in front of it which shouldn't take me too long to get through.

Thanks for sending it my way.

8 out of 10

First, let me apologize for keeping this book so long. Things got crazy around my house (and still are) therefore my reading time has definitely suffered. I did put it in the mail to cat02886 today so it should be moving along now.

I was going to give this book a 6 but had to up that to an 8 because of the chapter when she went to the sex shop. I read that part while I was waiting for my car to be fixed at the car dealership. In the waiting room there were people around who probably thought I was losing my mind. I couldn't keep from laughing out loud as things developed for her. That night, I reread it to my husband who also thought it was incredibly funny. The rest of the book was fine but didn't call me away from doing the things I had to do this month.

Omg! What a hilarious book! I loved the part when they were in the woods and the part where she went on the date with Wade. Those parts were hilarious. Couldn't put the book down. Didn't really like the end though. PMing next on the list for address. Thanks for sharing!!

VERY fun read - quick, easy, and for the most part, pleasant! Thanks for sharing!

The only part of the book I didn't like was the part about Pete, the cop with ADHD - it seemed to me that it brought the book down a notch or two and could have been left out completely without changing the story any. Other than that - fun!

I'm mailing it out to Ollie76 on July 6. ENJOY!

6 out of 10

finished yesterday. I thought it started off a little slow and I was a little dissappointed in the way it ended but, I could also relate to most of it. Overall, it was amusing. An easy and enjoyable read. Though I do agree with the journaler who said there are better chick lit books out there. There are. Have PM'd the next person on the list for their address and then I will be sending this on.

Thanks for sharing your book!

Happy Bookcrossing!!
