Lacey Valentine was a fantasy coordinator from Mistletoe, Missouri. After carefully planning her day, she decided to slip home at lunch and surprise her fiancé. She surprised him—he had another woman in her house, her bedroom, and her bed. Amazingly, he was mad at her for not being at her scheduled meeting. After throwing them both out, she had sexual problems. This resulted in her paying $200 an hour to visit a shrink who, ultimately, suggested she go out and have sex. Her best friend talked her into going on a game show, The Dibs Dating Show.

Covey James III was a triplet. Along with his brothers Colton and Casp, they were spending their 30th birthdays on The ToSay Show with their grandmother. Their grandmother raised the boys from their ages of 10 after the death of their parents. The three men loved her more than anything. She was dying with breast cancer. On this day, she shocked the crowd by begging the men to fall in love and marry before her death. Their joint pledge had been that they would never fall in love or marry.

Ms Lisa Wells has, in my opinion, written a best seller in her original novel. Her characters are varied and so exuberant that it was a fabulous read. This was an unusual book in that it was upbeat and whimsical while still showing a vulnerable side to the main characters. The various aspects of this storyline showed the emotional connections between the couple and the secondary cast members as well.

The dialogue was fast-flowing and insanely funny while also poignant and heartrending. There was definitely something for everyone in this work of art. The interactions were somewhat comical, but also showed touching scenes. The arousing sexual content was both frequent and sensual. It involved fantasy as well as love and caring though neither wanted to admit it.

I absolutely loved this book and read through the night to finish it. I love her writing style and recommend this book to everyone. And, since there were triplets, might we expect a sequel?
