Suzy fell for Harry the moment she showed him her husband's sperm sample. It didn't really belong to her husband, though, because she wasn't married. It wasn't a sperm sample either, it was a drinks carton containing the dregs of her milkshake. But when you're trying to get off a speeding charge you just have to improvise, don't you? And it wasn't actually love at first sight. Still, it was undeniably a healthy attack of lust...

Amazon Review
With undertones of a Shakespearean love-romp, love's true course gets a distinctly bumpy ride in this, oddly named, fifth novel from Jill Mansell. While the action centres around the court (Bristol-based mansion) of ex-rock star and former alcoholic, Jaz Dreyfuss, his ex-wives, current bubble-head and a selection of their relatives and friends, the lead role and heroine of our tale is taken by feisty, wise-cracking, ex-wife number two, estate agent extraordinaire, Suzy. Suzy's mother, recently departed for designer-heaven (as in the sky, not Bond Street), has left Suzy and her siblings to discover a skeleton (with skin and blood still attached) leaping out of the family cupboard.
While the summer bookshelves groan with an ever-growing mountain of books charting modern girl¹s search for "true lurrve", Good At Games is a well-executed example of its genre, with a bunch of characters you can actually care what happens to and a plot that, although you know exactly where it's going, makes you want to keep reading until the very last word. --Carey Green --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

One of the great delights in reading Jill Mansell's romantic comedies is that we get to enter a fun, breezy world of happy-go-lucky characters who get up to all kinds of mischief, while remaining completely likeable and believable. Case in point: Suzy Curtis, the flamboyant, voluptuous estate agent who is the heroine of Good at Games. Not someone I'd be best pals with in real life, but a delightful character nevertheless. From the hilarious opening (when Suzy fast-talks her way out of a speeding ticket, and manages to fall in lust with the gorgeous police officer in the process) to her other exploits, like wearing a skin-tight red velvet dress to her mother's funeral, and "accidentally" getting herself engaged to Mr. Wrong, Suzy's adventures never fails to entertain and delight.

The rabbit caught my eye, but it was the starting lines which convinced me to buy this book. This is my first book by Jill Mansell, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Funny, witty, and an absolute page-turner. I did not guess who she would end up with until I've read almost half the book, and I finished it within hours. It was a great book, absolutely enjoyable.
