Review by Peony

What's a girl to do when she's thirty-three and all her friends have started their lives and left her behind?

Lucinda Kelley works for a local cable television show, assists her sister in her tumultuous relationships, and yearns for the day she can meet Mr. Right. All that seems to change when she meets Julian Crawford in an on-line tv chat room. Eight months later, via email he has become her best friend and closest confidant. Then one day the messages cease, and Lucinda feels lost until she makes a vow to end this infatuation with someone she has never met and move on to something real. When an alarming revelation is exposed, it could be Lucinda's undoing or it might be exactly what she was looking for.

Meeting Mr. Right Online is short and sweet, a perfect lunchtime read. The tone is smooth and the plot is charming.  

Lucy has watched all her friends find men and move on with their lives. She, however, hasn't been that lucky. A case of boredom joins an idle curiosity in an online chat room and before long Lucy and Julian are making a love connection. One day Julian's messages stop coming and Lucy worries she may have lost her cyber-dream man. But don't despair! The outcome is, of course, good for all parties but the short journey they take toward finding happiness is definitely worth the time it takes to read this.  

Sweet and happy...what more could anyone ask for in a short romance? I loved Lucy, and Julian’s disappearance made me want to cry for her. Yes, they touched me. These characters, although we get to know them only briefly, definitely make an impression. Well done!
