Marissa Kincaid compared her history with males to her pals at AtlantaTellAll Poll and finds she ahs always managed to date cheaters. Frustrated with men she decides to open up an Internet site TheGuyCheats.com exposing these two-timers where women can anecdote these losers.
She starts with Trenton Jackson who canceled a date with then teen Marissa to go out with another girl. Trent learns of Melissa’s web page and sees an opportunity to publicize his webzine so he responds. She sees a plus to his answering her charges and they form a He Said She Said debate over the net. The media enjoys the dispute and a radio arranges for the pair to share an apartment for a week. As they fall in love, she refuses to take a second chance on him as once a cheater always a cheater; he will do anything to convince her they belong together forever.
Readers obtain three fun contemporary romances (including a proposal in a dugout). The lead duo is fully developed characters so that Trent’s desperation seems genuine and Marissa’s mistrust as real. Although the premise that he sees a PR advantage to her site that insulted him seems inane, readers will not care as they will root for the heroine to finally catch her cheat.
