Shannon, I liked "Sex, Lies" but it's not one of my favorites. This one won't be either. As I said, I wish more of the book were like this grovel snippet. I feel like I've given you one of the best scenes in the book, kind of like seeing the best scenes in a movie during a preview! Rachel, a friend loaned me her copy to read b/c I didn't plan to buy it either. If I had, I think I'd be even more disappointed. Kim, hope you like it better than I did. Rosie, I just kept reading and waiting for it to get better. It was a long wait. Robin, I’d start with the older hockey books.

I've read all of Rachel's books except the last few. I don't have this one yet, but it's on my list of books to get. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of them. Hope that's not about to change. lol Thanks for the review. I’ve read all of Rachel’s books except the last few. I don’t have this one yet, but it’s on my list of books to get.

My sister had enjoyed it and I had every expectation of an enjoyable Gibson read. I read about half the book and then the ending. Just no hook for me.

My favs by her were <strong>Truly, Madly Yours,</strong> <strong>Simply Irresistible</strong>, and <strong>See Jane Score</strong>. And 2 out of 3 were written more than several years ago. I'm not crying, "Shark!" yet, but if I read this, it'll be through the library. Sadly, Gibson’s fallen off my auto-buy list.

It makes me look forward to reading this even more. Besides ~ I have a thing for heroes named Sebastian. I enjoyed the preview with Sebastian grovelling.

I just finished it about ten minutes ago, and I wasn't disappointed. It certainly wasn't as good as See Jane Score, but it was a fun read. I was pretty impressed with Sebastian's grovel, too. :) I couldn’t finish the first in this series—Sex, Lies & Online Dating, I think it was called—because of what (to me) was a ridiculous motivation hole, but I bought this one (despite my obsessiveness about series) because I enjoy her books so much.

I just read my first Gibson -- See Jane Score -- and liked it enough to search out more of her books. But I haven't known which ones to try, and I'm sorting through a fair number of her books. I share your disgust with the heroine who needs to be "loosened up" with a little god sex (one of the things I liked about SJS was that Jane wasn't uptight that way -- although I could have done without Luc's concern that she was a nympho), so I'll probably leapfrog this book and head straight to her backlist. I think next I might try the one about online dating, as that seemed to get postive buzz, and then another of her hockey books, as I enjoy a little hockey myself. Thank you for this review, Jayne.
