Sex, Lies, and Online Dating

The first in the series is Sex, Lies, and Online Dating. The novel introduces us to Lucy Rothschild, a mystery writer. She had decided to try online dating as research for her new book. She used her dates as the victims for her new book, and when she decided that she needed one last victim for her book, she accepted a date with Quinn just to see if he would perfectly fit.

Quinn McIntyre is an undercover agent working on a serial murder case. He is ordered to go on a date to go on dates with the women who are suspected to be Breathless serial killers. And the evidence available linked Lucy to this murder case, so he kept on pushing her in efforts to find out the truth.

Both of them sparked a relationship with lies. Lucy lied to be a nurse while Quinn gives false information to her that he is a widowed plumber. While Lucy starts developing strong feelings for her final “victim,” on the other hand, Quinn tries so hard not to get attracted to her even though he had believed that she was Breathless, he still could not stop thinking and want her.

The first book in the series is a beautiful read. You will fall in love with Rachel Gibson’s characters; they are realistic, such that you can reach out and touch them and relate to them. Their combination of communication skills, attitudes, thoughts and the attempts to see things from a woman perspective is fascinating. This novel delivers just this type of hero at cross-purposes with an ever vigilant heroine.

The characterization is wonderfully done, Lucy Rothschild is a mystery writer researching her new novel and personally participates in her experiments. The men she meets on her internet dates are losers, but what else can you expect with online names like klondikemike, bigdaddy182, and lustick? However, visiting these womanizers provides her with plenty of info for creating her fictional serial killers and serial killer’s victims. Now she only needs one more victim to complete her novel and hopes a man by the username hardluvman will offer her the much-needed inspiration and then she is done.

Then there is Quinn Mclntyre, a cop in the Violent Crimes Division who lives for his job. After spending a couple of years in the narcotics division, undercover assignments comes easily to him and now is proving useful especially now that Breathless killer who suffocates her victims is on the loose. Hardluvman has had 15 dates of which seven were sourced online, and since he is acting as bait, he knows that he may have to go far faking physical desire with the suspects just to get enough evidence for an arrest. He has no reservation lying to women and trapping the killer is just but part of his job, but he definitely hates reciting the “wooing lines” to his fake dates that others have written for him.

While waiting for hardluvman in a coffee shop, Lucy notices a man entering the coffee shop who just looks like he has just been blown from a mad bad and lethal to know convention. He draws near to her and identifies himself as her date for the night.

Lucy is frozen by his extremely good looks and knows that there is something wrong with him since there is no such a guy with such good looks trolls the chatrooms. The man claims to be a plumber and that his wife died a couple of months ago. Before even their visit ends, Lucy demonstrates her lack of nursing skills when a man sitting next to them chokes leaving her to watch as Quinn saves the man’s life. Assuming that Quinn has pegged her as a liar, Lucy doesn’t expect to hear from the man again, but she is surprised to receive a dinner invitation the following day. Hesitantly meeting him for a real date, Lucy is astonished at Quinna desire to continue dating her and can’t figure out if she is pleased by his actions or feels stalked. Is Quinn genuinely interested in dating Lucy? Has he developed real emotions towards the mystery author?
