Not Another Bad Date

by Rachel Gibson



      Ever feel cursed when it comes to dating? Adele Harris has a legitimate complaint in that department. Every man she dates starts out normal and then turns into a jerk. Maybe they criticize her figure, leave strange items on her front porch, or suggest sexual escapades when they barely know her. She believes no one could have so much bad luck unless they were cursed. Still single at age 35 and extremely conscious of her ticking biological clock, she feels doubly frustrated by the lack of good men.

Adele has good friends to get her through these tough times. It’s too bad these friends are back in her new home in another state while Adele stays in Texas attending to her pregnant sister and babysitting her teenaged niece - both of whom seem to appreciate and resent her presence. She really needs the comfort of her friends when she runs into Zach Zemaitis, a handsome former professional football star who broke her heart in college. Now a widower and eager to renew their relationship, Zach has no idea it’s his dead wife placing the curse upon Adele’s love life.

Not Another Bad Date contains the humor, passion, and drama that comprise a great contemporary romance. The characters are interesting and likeable, and the sexual tension mounts throughout the early chapters. One unanswered question remains, however, after reading the book: Why is Zach’s wife (while alive and dead) the only one with magical powers?
