Product Description
When an undercover cop goes on the hunt for a female serial killer, he's not expecting to lose his heart. Quinn McIntyre has to pose as an internet dater to woo the chief suspect in a serial murder case, and the last thing on his mind is falling in love. Especially not to a thriller writer researching her next book, who doesn’t even realise she’s under surveillance...
But Lucy Rothschild just doesn’t seem like the killing kind... does she? Before too long, and against all his better instincts, Quinn finds he could be getting in too deep...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ms. Gibson has penned another entertaining read. Her latest effort has her dabbling with the sub genre of Romantic Suspense and the end result is a very good read that I think will surprise her long time fans.
Lucy Rothschild is a mystery writer and her latest effort has her exploring the world of internet dating. She’s created a pretty intriguing storyline. She just has one more date too keep and she will be done. But this date is not like the others. He’s handsome, and seems sincere. But more importantly, she is attracted to him. So when he contacts her again, she wants to say no but instead says yes. What she doesn’t know is life is imitating her art…men are starting to turn up dead and several of them…Lucy has dated.
Quinn is an undercover detective working on a new serial murder case. They are trying to catch “Breathless” before she has a chance to kill again. His dating leads to Lucy Rothschild. He thinks she’s a murder but at the same time he can’t stay away from the sexy author. But, when Breathless kills once again…and Quinn and Lucy are together at the time, Quinn is going to have to come clean about his lies…will he be able to keep Lucy and will she forgive him before she becomes the next victim of Breathless?
Quinn and Lucy are wonderful characters. They’re romance is both sensual and sweet. The secondary characters that populate the pages are endearing additions. The suspense storyline was a fresh and demonstrates Ms. Gibson’s range as a writer. Ms. Gibson has penned a good story that will appeal to her loyal fans as well as new readers.

I bought this as there were so many positive reviews, but unless yr 15 you may find it difficult to digest. The lead characters are BORING... Quinn is the lamest detective character I have come across.
The author is so repetitive in her descriptions it actually becomes a bore reading this book - I managed to get over the half way mark but in the end i had to put it down.
If yr looking for some romance, laughs and a good plot i would invest in a Jill Mansell book instead.
(The 1 star is for the first 10 pages or so -before i realised that she seems to use the same descriptions whenever and wherever possible)

Sex lies & Online Dating is the first book in three written involving the same group of four mystery writers. I did not know about the links to the other books when I ordered it and have not found that it matters greatly about reading them in order.
Sex Lies and online dating introduces the reader to Lucy Rothschild. and Quinn McIntyre. Quinn is an undercover cop searching for a female serial killer the police has named `Breathless'. Quinn has to pose as an online dater in an attempt to lure out the serial killer.
Lucy is a mystery writer researching the storyline for her next book exploring the world of online dating. Lucy only has one more date to complete her research... What Lucy doesn't realise is that she is under surveillance by the police, as a suspect and unaware that the plot for her new book is being recreated and tested by Breathless.
Lucy is a loveable, strong character who she believes is able to stand on her own two feet, until fear makes her doubt herself. Lucy is a great character, who by finishing the book I felt as if I knew her. Quinn however, how to describe him... well written definitely! Strong willed, hunk of a man... who has a softer side making me want to believe he could be real.
As the plot and Lucy and Quinn become more entangled I could not put this book down! It is an easy read leaving the reader wanting more!
I was not a big `Chick Lit' reader before now, so the thriller and romance storyline appealed to me and encouraged me to buy it... No regrets from me at all! I have since bought many of the Little Black Dress books, thanks to Rachel Gibson's Novels.
I highly recommend reading this book a read, I only lent the book to my sister on the promise I would get it back! Fantastic storyline without the cringe-worthy moment so many writers feel they must include. I would also recommend reading the other two books after it as you get tip bits of how things are going with the couple(s) from the books before. The other books I would recommend reading after this one, in order are - `I'm in no mood for love' and `Tangled up in you'.

This book is simply fantastic.
This book is simply fantastic. It's a well written story with love, sex and a big portion of humour. Especially in moments when both come closer you can feel the sparkling erotic. Read more
