This was pretty much one of the worst books I've ever read. Don't waste your time, especially if, after reading the back of the book, you think Venus, the Goddess of Love, has anything to do with the story. It's a stupid, poorly-written, "comedy of errors" about a woman who works too much and hasn't had sex in a year. The characters are over-the-top, the situations are barely believable, and the ending doesn't match the style of the rest of the book. I'm angry at myself for bothering to finish it once I started it.

A tale of one woman's desparate attempts to sleep with a man--any man--in order to prevent her from accidentally re-instating her virginity (being celibate for one year). It's interesting to wonder "how's this going to go awry?" at each attempt, but the ending is ridiculously far-fetched.

This just wasn't my type of story, although it was pretty funny at times. The ending was ridiculous, but I'm glad it finally ended with the "right" guy. :)

Not a bad read. Very fun, light and fluffy. A few laugh out loud moments, but the ending is a bit out there. All in all, I would recommend it to a chick lit loving gal pal!

Could not really get into it. The concept seemed good, but it was a slow beginning. Did not finish the book.

Bad book! The ending was so stupid I kept waiting for her to wake up from a dream.
the only props I can give this book is that it's nice to see men characters written so 2-dimensionally usually that happens with MALE writers and FEMALE characters.

The Accidental Virgin is a fun, breezy, amusing read--nothing to tax the intellect, but sure to amuse. It is the story of Stacy Temple, a thirty-something singleton who works at thongs.com (you know the novel can't be too serious with a job like that). Stacy figures out that she has gone almost an entire year without sex (and barely noticed!). She becomes obsessed with avoiding becoming an "accidental virgin"--or someone who has gone without for 365 days. She's got a week left and a couple promising candidates, but nothing seems to go right for poor Stacy. This is a funny and very fluffy novel. You can read it in one sitting.

This book is about a woman who hasn't had sex in close to a year. She is trying to find a guy to sleep with before her year anniversary of not having sex. Sort of a silly book, with not much substance, but it ends nice with a good message.

BACK OF BOOK:
Stacy, Stacy, Stacy...
You were so promising at the beginning: Sexy, smart, personable and funny. Great on dates and really great afterward---if you know what I mean. But this is a sad state of affairs; or, in your case, non-affairs! It's been nearly an entire year and you haven't had your way with ONE eligible male. You've been working so hard conconcting sexy lingerie for Thongs.com-and really Stacy, if that little pink velvet bustier didn't put you in the mood, I dont know what to say!---that you haven't even tried to be coaxed out of your own thong.com!

Are you listening, Stacy? Seven days to find the perfect man-or else!

Happy hunting!

My book isn't perfect. FYI, the bottom of the cover is creased from shelving. It has a remainder mark on it. Don't want you to be disappointed when you see it. Otherwise its clean and crisp and fairly new.
