4.0 out of 5 stars A blast...the best one yet! 8 Nov 2002
By Dianna Johnston - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have been reading these Red Dress Ink books in the order in which they were published, so with Dating Without Novocaine only being my 4th one, I'm not sure if this statement holds merit or not, but it is my absolute favorite one so far! The writing seemed more intelligent, and the subject matter was more realistic to me. I am so pleased with it, I am now looking forward to many more contemporary novels by Lisa Cach.

As usual, this story is your typical single-girl-looking-for-love saga. Twenty-nine-year-old Hannah O'Dowd is determined to meet the man of her dreams before her 30th birthday. However, with only four months left to go, the prospects are getting very slim. So with the support of her circle of friends, Hannah kicks her plan into high gear and embarks on a dating whirlwind -- with some very hilarious results.

Sound like a cut-out of all the other single-girl books? It is for the most part; however, Lisa Cach has went one further step. Dating Without Novocaine has a special something -- a bright splash of red in the middle of a white wall -- that separates it from the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and despite its predictability, loved turning the pages to see how it would unfold. Hannah has a wonderful web of friends that help keep this story afloat, and Lisa Cach has done a fantastic job of fleshing each one to practically 3D-like proportions. A romantic, realistic romp of a read -- don't miss it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally Predictable 10 May 2002
By "jkampel" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've read enough Red Dress books to know that I shouldn't expect a masterpiece. I enjoy reading these books while commuting and to relax at night after a long day. For the most part these books have served their purpose but I have to say that Dating Without Novicaine was bordering on insulting. When I read the back of the book I was intrigued by the Oregon setting. Working in the dot com industry I'm all too familiar with the Portland techie types and I thought it would be refreshing to get a slice of life beyond NYC. I swear that on Page 4, if not sooner, I knew who Hannah was going to end up with. I mean at least try to throw us off a tad. There were definitely some funny moments but all in all this book doesn't have much going for it, compared with the others in its genre. Up till now I've been a loyal Red Dress reader but any more books like this and I'll have to cut the cord. Oh well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun 27 Feb 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I bought this book looking for a light, funny read, and it delivered. Hannah, the main character, is a "mistress of the seam" (i.e., a seamstress), who is looking for love in all of the wrong places. Her missteps are hilarious, and they keep the action moving along. Hannah's search for Mr. Man in a Million includes her three friends, all with dating woes of their own. The development of Hannah and her relationship with her friends is terrific. Some of the dialogue is simply priceless, and it had me laughing out loud.
Ms. Cach has written a few romances, but this book is definately planted in the real world, and Hannah has real world problems and real world sex. My only quibble with the book is that it was a little predictable.
I sincerely hope Ms. Cach has plans to write more books like this one.
