Book description
In the latest romantic romp from
New York Times
bestselling author Zane, two hapless lovers get lost in a dating game
gone awry.
When Washington, D. C., chiropractor Yardley Brown goes
to his local bank, it isn't only to make deposits into his account. He
has long since accrued some interest in Rayne Waters, a bank employee
who's too beautiful to be true -- and too beautiful to be single. At
least that's what Yardley believes, which is why he has never
approached her.
Little does he know that Rayne is anything but taken. Not for want
of trying, of course. But after barely surviving a dating disaster
with her hairdresser's brother and then falling for a member of her
church band who, it turns out, is celibate, she's on the verge of
giving up. That is, until Yardley -- discouraged by his own slew of
dead-end romances -- finally works up the courage to give her a try.
The true craziness, however, is just beginning, thanks to a cast of
characters who seem bent on botching the young couple's relationship.
There's Rayne's erratic mother, who constantly boasts about being a
"good whore"; Yardley's playboy buddies, always trolling for
sex; and, worst of all, past lovers who make a habit of popping up and
ruining things as only old flames (or previous mistakes) can. Weaving
the carnal and the comical in true Zane fashion, Rayne and Yardley's
struggle to find love in a world gone mad is a timeless talk about
everything that can go wrong in the dating game -- and a few things
that can go right.
The New York Times Arguably not since...Nancy
Friday has American letters produced a purveyor of erotica with such
mass-market appeal.
