Fun Read

Have read all of Rachel Gibsons book, and would recommend them all. She makes you care about all of the characters, injects humor and just tells a good story.

Same ole formula getting very old

I like Rachel Gibson. She's one of the few writers out there who allow their female protagonists to be successful in their chosen field. She's funny. She can write a great love (i.e. sex) scene. Her male protags are appealing. But she can't seem to come up with any diversity in the development of a love story. Girl hasn't had a man in ages (read: desperate). Boy is extremely active in regards to women (read: really just wants in girl's pants). Girl tumbles in lust "But it's only sex". Boy eagerly complies with girl's stated rules. Girl then changes the rules on boy, and gets her feelings hurt when he doesn't ante up. Boy, for no apparant reason, then tells girls he really does love her and will she marry him. To me, this makes for a very unsatisfying and unbelievable love story. Gibson does great with the fun, funny, sexy stuff. She falls down on the job when it comes to the love stuff. I'd also like to see some different personality types. That would be novel, no pun intended.

A Born Entertainer....

Rachel Gibson was born to entertain. I have read nearly all of her books and with perhaps one exception, I don't think I've ever put any of them aside with disappointment, doomed to collect dust, undisturbed for all literary eternity. Let's not exaggerate here folks...'Not Another Bad Date' like all contemporary romance novels is NOT literary rocket science. It is what is is..a fun, feel good, lol beach, bed or bathtime read. It creates a little tug of nostalgia in wondering what it would be like to revisit our youth and the one we might have loved and lost. To recapture the magic in present day. Unfortunately, for those of us who aren't 'storybook' bombshells like Adele, the outcome might not be so happily ever after, but it's still fun to dream. Especially to delight in imagining our arch nemesis taken out by a garbage truck and doomed to the bargain bins of Walmart for all eternity. LOL Gibson rarely disappoints with her plotlines and characters. There's never a "carbon copy" passed along from book to book. There's never a stale moment. Her characters are always funky and fun. Just what readers expect for their hard earned money.

What does a gal have to do to get a good date in this town?

Adele Harris can't even begin to answer that question. She's had so many lousy dates that she's sure she's cursed. Why else would every man she goes out with suddenly act like he's lost his mind?and his manners? Adele thought life couldn't get any more confusing . . . until she learns the marriage of her seemingly Miss Perfect sister is on the rocks. So she goes back to their hometown to give her a shoulder to cry on, only to run smack into Zach Zemaitis . . . the one who got away.

Texans love God, family, and football, though not always in that order

Zach, a former pro star, knows all about football. As for the other two, well, he's doing his best. But when Adele comes charging back into his life?still all lush curves and beautiful, big blue eyes?he wonders if his best is good enough. After all, he did her wrong. Can a woman with her track record ever really believe that he's serious this time . . . or is he destined to be another bad date?
