Sebastian Vaughan hasn't seen Clare in many, many years but that didn't stop him from spending the night with her. Although Clare believes they did more then just catch up, he knows it was a completely platonic night...well except for when drunken Clare strips down to her panties and cuddles up next to him.

Main Characters: Maddie Dupree; Mick Hennessy
Supporting Characters:Lucy, Quinn, Clare, Sebastian, Adele
*This book takes place in Truly, ID and we get to check up on characters we met in "Truly Madly Yours"
Maddie Dupree, has bought a house in Truly, Idaho and is searching out a story for her next book. No one but her and her 3 friends back in Boise know this story is her story, the story of her mothers murder 20 plus years ago. She immediately seeks out the current Hennessy, who owns the bar her mother was killed in, while hiding the fact that she is a True Crime writer who pens under the name Madeline Smith.
If Mick Hennessy only knew that Maddie Smith was searching out the story that entwines both her mother and his parents and one fatal affair, he never would have fallen for her. He'd rather the gruesome tale that haunted his and his sisters childhood would just stay hidden, but he can't help but make sure the lady, he can't get out of his mind, has the right information and also makes it into his bed! Yippee for pillow talk! Rachel Gibson 'truly' delivers once again.
Title:Not Another Bad DateAuthor:Rachel Gibson
Genre:Contemp Romance

Main Characters:Adele Harris;Zach Zemaitis
Supporting Characters:Lucy, Clare, Maddie;Sherilyn
'Not Another Bad Date' is my favorite of this foursome. Not only is Adele a Sci-Fi writer (nerd alert) but it's set in the great state of Texas!! Adele met Zach in college, he was big man on campus, being quarterback for the football team, and she was the quiet girl with the big curly hair he had to have, ultimately leaving his cheerleader girlfriend for. Said girlfriend wouldn't let Zach go though, and with her being pregnant Zach is forced to marry her and heartbroken Adele runs up north to get away from the boy she thought she could love
Now 14 years later their paths cross again...when Adele leaves Idaho for Texas, coming to help her pregnant sister out. Zach is now a widower ex pro footballer with a 14 year old daughter he doesn't always understand. When they get a little alone time the sparks that were between them so many years ago have ignited to a full fledge fire of passion...how's that for a setup.
I love this book!! it's quirky and heartfelt just like the other 3, but it's also funny as all get out with the side story that shows you why Adele had had so many bad dates and just what happened to Zach's cheerleader wife after she gets hit by a garbage truck...yep garbage truck.
If you read one, you must read them all!! So you better get to reading!
