This was a really great romance. I honestly didn't know who to root for in the end here because both love interests were wonderful, but we have Haleigh realistically torn between a past and a potential new future.

"How to Get a Life in Ten Dates" follows freelancer/dog walker, Haleigh. Haleigh is 25 and feels at odds with where her family wants her to be (happily engaged/dating/married) and where she is (single, fat [I love that she owns that word). Haleigh though realizes she has to do something to get her mother, grandfather, and sister off her back. So she and her best friend, Jack come up with an idea that they all can (along with Haleigh's roommate) can select up to two people each to set up Haleigh before her sister's nuptials.

Honestly, I laughed hysterically several times while reading this. I have been on some bad dates, and some of these had me going, oh geez and well at least mine wasn't that bad. But also Howe does a great job of showing Haleigh fighting with anxiety and how to move on to something new that she wants. I thought all the characters were developed very well and Haleigh has great chemistry with at least two guys. We also get some red hot love scenes that I much appreciated. Also, Haleigh is bisexual and it was nice to just read without anyone making a big thing about it.

The flow was really great and the tension was nice throughout. The ending gives you a HEA which was great.
