NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE

Poor Adele Harris. She's 36 years old and the last of her friends to get married. Just as she's throwing herself a personal pity party, her pregnant sister with the seemingly picture-perfect life in Texas calls and jolts Adele back to reality. Her sister has just been dumped by her dentist husband for a much younger woman. Adele leaves Idaho and rushes to her aid in Texas and to help take care of her sister and teenage niece Kendra.

When Adele gets there, her sister is hospitalized with a pregnancy scare. Adele takes over "mom" duties for Kendra. When she goes to pick Kendra up at a wealthy friend's house, she discovers Kendra's friend's father is Adele's college crush -- crush as in she was in love with him and he crushed her heart and married a beautiful, yet not-so-nice, college mate named Devon. Ironically Devon met an early demise and now Adele's college crush is single again.

This book is a good follow-up to Gibson's other novels. She creates likable characters and sets them in motion in fun, easy-to-follow adventures. For a little lighthearted reading, make a date to read NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE.

SUMMARY

What does a gal have to do to get a good date in this town? Adele Harris can't even begin to answer that question. She's had so many lousy dates that she's sure she's cursed. Why else would every man she goes out with suddenly act like he's lost his mindโ€”and his manners? Adele thought life couldn't get any more confusing . . . until she learns the marriage of her seemingly Miss Perfect sister is on the rocks. So she goes back to their hometown to give her a shoulder to cry on, only to run smack into Zach Zemaitis . . . the one who got away. Texans love God, family, and football, though not always in that order Zach, a former pro star, knows all about football. As for the other two, well, he's doing his best. But when Adele comes charging back into his lifeโ€”still all lush curves and beautiful, big blue eyesโ€”he wonders if his best is good enough. After all, he did her wrong. Can a woman with her track record ever really believe that he's serious this time . . . or is he destined to be another bad date?
