Synopsis

From: Venus, Goddess of Love, 120 Main, Mt. Olympus

To: Stacy Temple, lapsed temptress

Stacy, Stacy, Stacy.

You were so promising at the beginning: Sexy, smart, personable and funny. Great on dates and really great afterward-if you know what I mean. But this is a sad state of affairs; or, in your case, non-affairs! It's been nearly an entire year and you haven't had your way with even ONE eligible male. You've been working so hard concocting sexy lingerie for Thongs.com -- and really, Stacy, if that little pink velvet bustier didn't put you in the mood, I don't know what to say! -- that you haven't even tried to be coaxed out of your own thong.com!

Are you listening, Stacy? Seven days to find the perfect man -- or else!

Happy hunting!

Reviews

Stacey Temple, a designer at thongs.com, hasn't had a man in her life since she broke up with Brian almost a year ago. Not having a lover hasn't bothered her much, until she reads an article about women who haven't had sex in a year being "revirginized." Stacey has a week before she hits the year mark, and she's determined to get laid before then. But luck isn't on her side: a handsome blind date turns her down because he senses she only wants sex, the 20-year-old son of one of her bosses has performance problems, and her ex's new fiancee turns up at an extremely inopportune time. Stacey starts to get desperate, turning first to a female coworker and then to her best friend, Charlie, a handsome playboy. Much hilarity ensues, but Stacey remains unsatisfied and inching ever closer to revirginization. As she begins to doubt herself, a handsome neighbor--who might be able to please her sexually and romantically-- catches her eye. Her adventures are often laugh-out-loud funny, making it impossible not to root for Frankel's plucky, determined heroine. Kristine Huntley
