Description:

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 mind—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 life—still all lush curves and beautiful, big blue eyes—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?

5Loved It!!  Jun 14, 2009
I read this book in one evening, I couldn't finish it fast enough! I loved Adele, but as I read the book I wondered what happened to Devon? The author did tidy that up, overall I enjoyed this book!

5Great laugh out loud read  Jun 03, 2009
If you're looking for a quick funny romance, this book is great! I seriously couldn't put it down... read it in 2 days! lol

5Great Book  Mar 25, 2009
Science fiction and fantasy author Adele Harris leaves Boise to go home to Cedar Creek, Texas to help her pregnant older sister Sherrilyn who is in the hospital while her husband William moved in with his college age assistant Stormy. Adele is caring for her thirteen years old niece Kendra. She thinks of Zach Zemaitis who broke her heart fourteen years ago. A former professional football player and U of Texas legend, the widower Zach is trying to raise his ten year old daughter in Tiffany in his late wife¿s hometown. This forces him to pretend he cared about Devon who was a malicious person and the cause of his break up with his beloved Adele. Zach is stunned to see Adele, who he never stopped loving, but knows she will never forgive him for the big hurt. Meanwhile in the afterlife Devon Hamilton-Zemaitis must pay for her bad karma on earth as dying by crashing into a garbage truck is fitting but not enough her job is to bring Adele and Zach together, the way it should have been. This is a whimsical second chance at love romance in which the paranormal is kept to a minimal, but brings karma and humor to the mix. Readers will relish Zach¿s efforts to regain what he lost years ago while Adele wants to avoid him like the plague. Devon brings humor to the mix starting with her former late schoolteacher lecturing her, a trip to Wal-Mart and the need for her as pompous mother to back off from interfering in her mission. Rachel Gibson provides a warm Texas contemporary with a conniving matchmaker from beyond.

5best of the four  Nov 04, 2008
I really liked this one. I think it was the best of the four author stories that Gibson has written. It is like everything conspires against her but she remains somewhat sane. I mean how sane would you feel if you thought you were cursed?
I really liked how the past abd present flowed so I did not get a headache trying to figure what was going on.
That is one thing I love about Gibson is her ability to make characters that seem so normal, that you either want them to suceed or fail, but you want to know how it ends.

3Not Another Bad Book   Oct 16, 2008
I think the story should have started with Adele and Zach getting married. We have: Hunky Jock/Hero football guy who seems to be only marginally in love with Adele (but certainly in lust). Adele is pregnant with twins and is moving into the home her arch nemisis to raise the twins and his teenage daughter who is bratty & spolied. All of this in the home which is a shrine to his dead wife. Can anyone truly imagine this? I think in the rush the write the book she missed the real love story here. As I reached the end of the book my one thought was: is the moral of this story that rich, beautiful girls who tortured you in school and made life a living hell REALLY do have power over you?
