It didn't really belong to her husband though because she wasn't married, and the sperm sample was really just the dregs from her milk carton, but when you're trying to get off a speeding charge, you have to improvise, right? Oh, and it isn't really love at first sight, it's a healthy case of lust. Suzy is a girl with everything - dream job, red Rolls-Royce and ravishing rock-star ex. Then she meets Harry - and his deeply sceptical brother Leo - and before long finds herself with a whole lot more"--Publisher's description.

I will have to come back and think of a pithy title for this review some other time. For now, I am just going to go with the title of the book. I honestly don't have much to say about this book besides finding it boring as sin and also very rage inducing at times. I do love my romance reads, but from the beginning I found the whole premise of this book a bit hard to take.

It made me think of a grown up Dawson's Creek and a truly terrible since most of the people in this book were married I will have to come back and think of a pithy title for this review some other time. It made me think of a grown up Dawson's Creek and a truly terrible since most of the people in this book were married, divorced, or had sex with each other at certain times. You do want to say to them all don't you know anyone else?

I only talk to a handful of people I knew in high school. My circle of friends from undergrad and grad school is even smaller. There's Jaz's girlfriend Celeste and Suzy and Rory's sister Julia, but this book is overly long so don't expect me to discuss them much. The main character is supposedly Suzy, but honestly this book shifts perspective so much I just consider her one of many of the characters "Good at Games" follows. Suzy works with her brother Rory in his real estate business.

After Suzy uses the worst excuse ever to get out of a traffic ticket her husband and her are running to have her impregnated with his sperm which was in a drink cup from a fast food place Suzy daydreams about the hot cop Harry. Suzy then runs into Harry at a party doesn't give him her information and later on when she and her siblings Rory and Julia are getting ready to listen to their mother's will being read.

There they find out their mother had an affair and had another child, Suzy's half sister Lucille. While that seems like a lot, it's nothing when you factor in Suzy living next door with her ex husband's first wife, Fee and she is still on friendly terms with her ex husband Jaz.

Did you follow all of that? Through a ridiculous set-up Suzy eventually gets to go out on a date with Harry, but though she likes him, she wonders if that is all there is since she apparently thinks that a man who treats you okay is a terrible boyfriend to have. She wants some fire drama. Enter Leo, Harry's older brother who sets up Suzy and honestly shows that she is not someone that anyone should date.

Of course Suzy then starts thinking about Leo cause hey when a guy treats you like dirt he is totally the one. Do not even get me started of the many times Leo accuses Suzy of cheating on Harry and practically spiting whore at her. I honestly don't even want to get into the other characters. The main premise of the book though is that Suzy finds herself engaged to Harry though she doesn't want to be. And though Harry initially seemed to be the only one who was a decent character except for Fee, he quickly descends into douche-bag territory so you want Suzy to dump him.

The writing is typical Mansell, but honestly this does not have the humor of her other books. Reading about terrible people doing terrible things gets old after a while. A good part of this book could definitely have been cut. The flow was off too. I think honestly since the book kept jumping around you honestly don't know who is doing what to who or why you should care.

The ending though has a HEA for everyone except for two people who honestly I hoped would be eaten by sharks at this point. May 01, Paula Sealey rated it really liked it Shelves: chick-lit-romance. While the action in 'Good at Games' centres around the mansion home of ex-rock star and former alcoholic, Jaz Dreyfuss, as well as his ex-wives, current bubble-head, and a selection of their relatives and friends, the lead role and heroine of the tale is taken by feisty, wise-cracking, ex-wife number two, estate agent extraordinaire, Suzy.

Suzy's mother, recently departed, , has left Suzy and her siblings to discover a skeleton with skin and blood still attached leaping out of the family cupboard. An excellent, witty story full of likeable and believable characters.

I didn't want the book to end! This is the worst Mansell book I've read to date. I mean, I've given some of her books a 1-star rating before because I thought they were terrible, but my God, they were nothing compared to this piece of utter drivel and nonsense! I'd go back and change all the previous 1-star ratings if I could, but I'd much rather give this a NO star rating.

It was terrible. I am not exaggerating. This was really a horribly written book with the worst plot imaginable and the worst group of characters This is the worst Mansell book I've read to date. This was really a horribly written book with the worst plot imaginable and the worst group of characters to ever grace the pages of a book.

What BS! I cannot believe Jill Mansell was happy to let this book be published, she should be ashamed of herself.

Suzy is one of the most screwed up protagonists I've ever read about. I cannot believe that she was made into the protagonist, she should be the villain!

She's arrogant, shallow, self-absorbed, silly, stupid, an airhead, and absolutely shameless brat.
