Publishers Weekly
Perrin (Tell Me You Love Me; Say You Need Me; etc.) brings together two very different people in search of the very same thing. Gynecologist turned sex therapist Lecia Calhoun, aka Dr. Love, is reveling in the success of her new book, The Big O, "a lighthearted but factual look at women's orgasms and how to achieve them," even if she's having trouble practicing what she preaches. NFL quarterback Anthony Beals, aka T, is living in a nightmare ever since that compromising photo of him and a hooker hit the tabloids and his brand-new wife sued for divorce. Their paths cross on Jay Leno's show-Anthony's there to proclaim his innocence; Lecia's there to flog her book-and sparks fly when T accuses Lecia, who once ran into his estranged wife, of messing up their marriage. Will Anthony clear his name? Will Lecia get her mojo back? Poor them-they just need a little TLC. And they'll find it on a road trip to New Orleans and Kansas as they search for Anthony's wife, who was never who she seemed to be and who has suddenly gone missing. A little suspense, a soup on of romance and a lot of unnecessary dialogue and exposition later, the happy ending comes as it should in this predictable but fun diversion. (Jan.)
