A familiar trope - unexpected roommates collide in a vacation house each has been promised by someone else. From there, Lola provides delightful entertainment as a neurotic heroine matching wits with a hunky man in steel-toed boots from the upper East Side. A study in contradictions, Harry and Lola "grow up" and evolve into something wonderful. Lola's self-doubt is paralyzing and painful to read, but her upbeat attitude and "I'm okay" face to the world keep you reading. ( )

I absolutely loved this book. I listened to the audio and the narrator added much to an already fun story. Lola and Harry are total opposites when they meet - she's a mess and he's a neatnik. They manage to annoy each other until all of a sudden they don't.
This is really a Happily Ever After that you couldn't wait to see. ( )

Suddenly Dating is the 2nd book in the Lake Haven series. Although, the first book, Suddenly in Love, doesn’t need to be read before this, I thoroughly recommend it because it was a great book. I really enjoyed the characters and story-line in Suddenly in Dating. I really connected with Lola who is always putting others before herself and is basically a doormat for her family and friends. I tend to have that problem also and it was nice to see a realistic issue being written about. It is hard to change that behavior and can’t be instantly done. I’m glad that Lola didn’t just become a totally different person by the end of the book and is still a “work in progress”. The banter and the situations between Lola and Harry trying to figure out their living arrangements was so funny and I couldn’t get enough of it. Overall I would totally recommend this book to someone looking for a funny contemporary romance book. I can’t wait to see who else pops up with stories in this series. ( )

This was a cute romance even if I have read this storyline a couple times. But I've read it so often because it works and this is a good example. Lola and Harry made a good couple and I enjoyed reading about them.
