Book Description
A fresh debut voice from one of romance's hot new stars, Kelley St. John is a voice to watch in this wonderful new novel about childhood crushes and missed opportunities.
Product Description
In high school, Bill Brannon was head over heels for his childhood friend Lettie Campbell. Twelve years later, Bill has almost forgotten his crush on the wild and feisty Lettie. Almost. But when fate reunites them, he realizes that some opportunities shouldn't be missed. Lettie Campbell wants to start her own business- designing lingerie. Her dream is going to become a reality with the cash she's bringing in as a cheating consultant at My Alibi, a company that lies for cheaters 24/7. When her sister, Amy, asks her to help a friend by providing an alibi, Lettie agrees. Lying to strangers is easy. But lying to the friend you've had since third grade is hard. But as the lies pile up and Lettie and Bill burn up the sheets, she will have to come clean. Because the person she's lying to is Bill- and no amount of lies will help her when he discovers that he's been conned.

When you're ready to set aside your heavier hitting romances, the ones that make you weep and pound your fists in frustration for the characters, books like this one are a good one to pick up. "Good Girls Don't" by Kelley St. John is a fast paced and funny delight to read, full of characters that grab your attention. You just want to continue reading to see where their individual situations take them. While I did think the main plot was a little weak, I still enjoyed this light hearted romp of a read.
Colette Campbell, or Lettie as she's known to friends, is ready for a change of scene, at least in her professional world. Working for a company in Atlanta, GA that provides alibis to cheating spouses, vacationing grandparents needing a break from the kids, etc., she's more than ready to pursue her dream job. She's tired of the lies and deceptions and it's beginning to wear on her. When her sister, Amy, asks Lettie to engineer one more lie, this one for a close friend that needs to get away from her guardian for a week of R&R with her tue love, Lettie is annoyed, but wants to make her sister happy. Unfortunately the guardian in question is an old high school friend, one that Lettie did not part with on good terms. Bill Brannon is startled to recognize (over the phone) the woman he never could forget. He's wanted more from the vivacious teenager in high school, and he still wants more to this day. Thinking she lives elsewhere, he convinces Lettie to see him while she "visits" Atlanta. As the two rekindle an old friendship, one that steadily progresses into a flaming torch, will Lettie's lies put a damper on their delicate relationship?
My one problem with this book was the main plot: Supposed "good" girl, Lettie Cambell, lying to her man about her profession, the wereabouts of his niece, etc. It was just a little weak since it was so obvious that she and Bill care so much for one another. Sure, readers will know before ever picking up the book that they will get together, so that's why I felt that a little better conflict between the two would have earned this read five stars. Other than that, I really enjoyed Bill and Lettie's relationship. Bill is such a down-to-eath type that thinks he needs to act the part of "bad boy" in order to win Lettie, while Lettie herself was actually a very sincere and caring individual despite a job that made her seem otherwise. Besides, can you really knock a girl who's saving up to start her own dream business? Lettie's sister Amy, in my opinion, was the true gem of this book. She's into her own dream job in the sex toy industry, which added some really great and fun moments into the story. My only wish for her was that she'd had her own book in which to expand on her character. She was so much fun, but alas, I think too much was revealed about her here to warrant her own book. Bill's niece, Erika, is also an interesting character, kind of a coming of age young woman who makes her first steps into the world of love. So, if you're looking for a good, light read to while away the hours between the heavier romances, give this one a try. Many laugh-out-loud opportunities and interesting characters make it a winner.

i wish i could give more stars. i couldnt put it down, even though you know whats happening in the end. also the sub plots didnt take away from the main storyline but added to the main story because they would all intertwine with each other, rather like real life.
i would def recommend this to anyone who enjoys girlie books

Super-sexy and super-fun. Don't miss this one!
10 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
Colette (Lettie) Campbell can hardly believe it when her job at My Alibi leads her to call Bill Brannon, the guy who was her best friend in high school but who pushed for turning the relationship in a romantic direction as she was getting ready to move away from home. Now Bill still wants more, and Lettie is willing to give it to him. There is one slight problem--as part of the My Alibi job, she's had to lie to him about where she lives, what she does, and about where his niece is staying. Lettie knows this isn't the perfect way to start, or re-start a relationship, but Bill is even more of a hunk than she remembered and the sex definitely sets off fireworks like Lettie hasn't known since--well, since forever. Still that lying thing, Lettie just knows it's going to come back and bite her.
Meanwhile, Lettie's sister, Amy, a sex-toy designer, has been trying to stay clear of co-worker Landon Brooks. Amy has persuaded herself that toys are better than men, but Landon has other ideas. Of course, Amy has some pretty convincing toys--but Landon can do some convincing of his own.
In her debut novel, author Kelley St. John delivers a super-sexy and super-funny charmer of a story. Lettie and Amy support each other totally as they explore the wild side, and also fantasize about relationships that just might be a bit more than wild. Add in a fun co-worker who just needs to meet the man who melts vibrators and you've got a great cast of characters. St. John takes the reader on a Wheelie ride of emotion--from laugh-out-loud to that little choke in your throat, and then back to laughing.
If you're looking for a sexy and fun read (and who isn't?) GOOD GIRLS DON'T is just what you need.

Sexy - Steamy - Rocking - Chick-Lit !
5 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
For all you chick-lit fans out there, heads up! There's a new kid on the block and she totally rocks with her very sexy debut novel that also gives a whole lot of heart - GOOD GIRLS DON'T!
Colette Campbell's dream was to own her own lingerie boutique, but in the meantime she works for `My Alibi', a company that lies for cheaters. Life just got complicated when her sister Amy, a sex toy designer, brings Colette an 18 year old client who just wants a week alone with her boyfriend without her guardian uncle knowing about it. Even worse, the uncle turns out to be Bill Brannon, Colette's very best and only friend from her school days. Colette hates lying to Bill and shouldn't compromise a client but as their reunion heats up to a truly `smoking' no holds barred level the only obstacle between them and happily ever after would be those alibi's!
Original, fast-paced, sexy and sassy are but a few adjectives to describe this very full and robust chick-lit debut. As a bonus, you'll also enjoy the sexy love story between Amy and her sex-toy colleague. The dialogs are outrageously funny, especially the one that Bill got an earful of when Colette forgot to turn off her cell phone. Most fans of the sexy chick-lit romance genre are sure to find this a very amusing and extremely pleasing read! Highly recommended!
