In this contemporary romance, two people cynical about cyber-love manage to find it in spite of themselves. Detective Quinn McIntyre thinks hes found the serial killer who chooses her victims from an online website. But Lucy is no murderer; rather, shes a lonely novelist using the site as research for her next mystery. Naturally, neither of them plans to take their coffee date at face value; certainly neither of them plans to fall for the other one....
Tired of finding nothing but losers during her Internet dates, Lucy Rothschild finally finds the man of her dreams in Quinn, a man claiming to be a plumber but who is really an undercover cop hunting a serial killer whom he believes could be Lucy, unaware that Lucy is a mystery writer using her online dating experiences to research her new book.

I heard so much about Gibson's books that I decided to give this one a try. I read about 50 pages and had to stop. The plot development was weak, the writing was unbearably lame, and the dialogue between characters was laughable. A disappointment.

I love that Rachel Gibson connects her characters in her books, to other books. I really enjoy reading about Adele, Maddie, Clare, and Lucy!

This was a good story! I really enjoyed it, since I met my hubby online :) Good characters and plot, though it seemed a bit choppy at times. Just my opinion, though. It was overall a good read!

An undercover cop, a mystery writer, and a serial killer. What more could you ask for?

Lucy Rothschild is a mystery author and she is currently working on her newest title. Lucy is meeting men on-line and meeting them in coffee houses; she is doing research for her new book. In her book, men are being murdered by a woman who stalks her victims on-line and lures them in to meet in person.
Lucy's fourth and LAST on-line date is a man with the screen name "hardluvnman" and she's hoping he will cause great inspiration for her fourth victim character. But Lucy doesn't know what kind of inspiration she is in for.
Hardluvnman is, in reality, Quinn McIntyre who has been working as a cop for years, specializing in undercover work. There is a serial killer suffocating men and Quinn is determined to uncover the killer.
What ensues is a great romp as Lucy and Quinn work with and against each other. I never would have guessed who the real serial killer was and I was extremely shocked when I found out. It was a wonderful read and the first in a series. I can't wait to read the other books in this series.

She lies...she's not a nurse, but a mystery writer. He lies...he's not a plumber, he's a cop. HOT SEX...LIES...ONLINE DATING!

Lucy claims she is a nurse but she is really a mystery writer dating on line to research her latest book. Quinn is her date and he claims he is a plumber but he is really an undercover cop investegating a serial killer and Lucy is his prime suspect.

SEX...What is it about men anyway? Bad cas, bad jobs, even bad teeth-nothing convinces them that they can't snare a Size Two Babe with a D-cup chest. And after way too many internet dates with men named "luvstick" and "bigdaddy182," Lucy Rothschild should know.
LIES...But sitting across from her now is "hardluvnman," and he seems different--sensitive, honest, and hot! He says he's a plumber, while Lucy claims sh's a nurse! She's really a mystery writer, dating online while researching her next book. Hey, everyone lies a little, don't they?
AND ONLINE DATING...But Quinn's really an undercover cop hunting down a serial killer, and he sees Lucy as his top suspect. And while he could really go for this smart, sexy woman with the killer bod--if that's the only thing "killer" about her--he knows he needs to wine and dine her and discover the truth. Hey, he realizes the dating scene can be deadly--but this is ridiculous!
