Genre: Chick-Lit
Description:
“When it comes to relationships Samantha Haller has seen it all. As a
top LA divorce attorney she knows love doesn’t last. On a rare night out at a
Hollywood nightclub she isn’t looking for love, or even a relationship, but
with the help of a spiked drink she may just let loose and have some fun for a
change.
For sports agent extraordinaire Jake Jensen dating means sex, nothing
more. That’s why his ‘relationships’ last, on average, two weeks. As long as
the women go away quietly and don’t make a scene, he’s fine with that. Finding
a new one to take the former’s place is never a problem for a handsome,
generous, eligible bachelor.
They both want sex with no attachment — what could possibly go wrong?
They could fall in love . . .”
Author:
An entertainment attorney based in Los Angeles, Beth Orsoff writes
humorous chick-lit with six previous books to her credit. She continues to deny
(despite mounting evidence to the contrary) that her book Romantically Challenged is a memoir.

Appraisal:
Budding relationships provide a treasure trove of possibility for
books of all kinds, especially in humorous chick-lit. Miscommunication (or lack
of communication) almost always plays some role, just like in real life. That
Jake and Samantha both want the same thing, something negotiated thousands of
times in only a few hours every Friday night in singles bars everywhere, adds
to the humor. Of course, sometimes that real people, just like these
characters, don’t always know what they want, doesn’t help. A fun story with
great characters.
FYI:
Mild adult content and some adult language.
