The only dates Lucy Rothschild has been on recently are with men with names like "bigdaddy182" and "luvstick" and most recently "hardluvinman." No, Lucy is not that desperate (yet), she's working on her latest novel dead.com. The premise of a female serial killer murdering her dates has sent Lucy into the world of online dating, purely for research. That is until she meets "hardluvinman" aka Quinn McIntyre. Quinn seems to be different; he's caring and sensitive, actually listens when she talks, and boy oh boy, does he get her juices flowing!

Quinn is torn between wanting to throw Lucy into bed or throw her into the slammer. Quinn, a cop, has been investigating the brutal murders of three men. By all appearances, they met a woman through an online dating service, took her home and she killed them, making it look like autoerotic asphyxiation and leaving no evidence behind. Now it's Quinn's job to find her and put her behind bars, and Lucy is his prime suspect.

Quinn sets it up to use himself as bait, trying to get Lucy to show her true colors, when a call comes in. There's been another murder, and it occurred while he was with Lucy. Wracked with guilt, Quinn explains to Lucy why he's been pursuing her. Embarrassed and heartbroken, she sends him packing, until a visit to her post office box reveals that the killer has been in touch with her.

Getting to know each other in their real lives proves to Lucy and Quinn that their chemistry is real. But with an increasingly daring killer set on Lucy, will they survive to explore their feelings?

I highly recommend SEX, LIES, AND ONLINE DATING -- it's fun, entertaining and impossible to put down.

Book Summary

Detective Quinn McIntyre figures women will be the death of him someday. Then he meets Lucy Rothschild and learns that day maybe sooner than he thought.

SEX . . .

What is it about men anyway? Bad cars, 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 she'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!
