About the Book
I was done.
Done with men.
Women say it all the time; they get fed up, throw their hands in the air, and vow a life of celibacy—until the next chiseled chest comes into view and then they’re foaming at the mouth and wiping the drool from their chins. But this was different, I really meant it.
I’d been manhandled by the last pig that would ever bring his sausage near me. After one of the nastiest divorces in history, followed by some of the crudest and raunchiest dates, I’d decided to bat for the other team.
…At least I tried.
But creating the next Brat Pack hadn’t been on the agenda. Neither had Collier West. And I wasn’t prepared for finding true love at the end of my gal-pal tryst.

My Thoughts
The audio: I really enjoyed the audio version of this book.
Julia Duvall does a great job of bringing Giselle and all her crazy to life. Her
highs, lows, frustrations and successes are brought to life
There are multiple female characters and they each had a
distinct voice. The male voices were also well done.
The book: First up, this is not a book about a lesbian heroine.
Neither is it about waving the flag of feminism. What it’s about is a near-40
year old woman who is incredibly disillusioned with love and relationships. She
doesn’t need a man to support her but neither is she naive about her role as the
office eye candy.
Her solution for her romantic woes is to turn into a
lesbian. Never mind that her BFF, who really is a lesbian, is forever telling
her it’s not a switch to be turned on and off, Giselle is forging ahead. Her
foray into dating other women I found to be very funny and dotted with more
than the odd moment of crassness thrown in. There were plenty of laugh out loud
moments for me.
Giselle meets Collier when she arrives for a date with his
sister. Collier is utterly confused to find himself attracted to Giselle. She’s
the first woman to interest him in some time yet what can come of it?
For me, this book is split into two parts: Giselle dates
lesbians and then Giselle and Collier embark on a fairly traditional romance. Both
parts work well and I really enjoyed reading about Giselle and Collier as a
couple. They really are suited. The standout part however, was Giselle’s same
sex dating adventures. They were fun a lot of fun to read.
