Cas Perry doesn't want a relationship. When her father walked out on her and her mother she decided relationships, love, marriage, the whole shegang, simlpy weren't worth the heartache.

But is Cas, immoral most of the time and amoral when it comes to business, going too far with her new TV programme, Sex with an Ex? Unfeeling and unscrupulous, she ruthlessly manipulates everyone she comes into contact with.

Until she meets Darren. A babe. Trouble is, he's a highly principled babe. He believes in love, marriage, fidelity and constancy, so can he believe in Cas?

Is it possible the world is a better place than she imagined? And if it is, after a lifetime of playing games, is this discovery too late?

Gripped from the beginning, and loved each character. Fabulous storyline. Cas is a true heroine, and discovers the real value of loving and being loved

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Stop Thinking About It..

I found this book completely mesmerizing. I was immediately sucked into Cas's lifestyle as a successful executive television producer and her relationships with Issie and Josh. She lives what appears to be the perfect London socialite/successful business woman life, and yet her disappointing past clearly affects the happiness of her present. That's when she meets the devastingly sexy Darren and gets sucked in to his charm. He presents himself as the perfect man: respectful, caring, passionate, smart, and sexy. Best of all? He believes in the institution of marriage and true love. These characteristics are everything any woman has ever looked for in a man. Except Cas. From there readers are taken on a roller coaster ride of unexpected events and emotion overloads that will leave you breathless (as it left me!) I highly suggest reading this book. You won't regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can an "ice queen" ever commit to love?
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2005

Jocasta "Cas" Perry, a producer for an up and coming London network, she's been given the task of coming up with a program to boost ratings. Cocktails with friends results in a brilliant idea for a show - "Sex With an Ex," whereby about to be married couples have their relationship tested by temptation with a former lover. Her concept works a little too good, as ratings go through the roof. She meets a possible "ex" named Darren. He's intelligent, sexy, and very engaging, and she is very attracted, knowing that the entire English population will fall for him (thus a ratings bonanza). He declines the show citing that it's a blight on relationships and wants no part of it. To change his mind and chip away at his strong morals, she hangs out with him and his family for a few days, fighting her attraction to him. She'll leave no stone unturned in order to change his mind, and tells him so, but he stands his ground. No doubt about it - Darren is a dream come true; he's not afraid to show his feelings or stand up for what he believes in, including the happily ever after that Cas is so strongly opposed to. Suddenly, ice-hearted Cas is finding herself in unchartered territory - she's falling in love with Darren. Her reaction to their mutual feelings is what takes the rest of the story on a roller coaster ride, as she immediately reverts to her old, selfish ways, and is confronted with her past misdeeds in the most publically humiliating way.

"Game Over" is a interesting romantic comedy that also speaks volumes about back stabbers in the workplace and faith in the one you love. Although it's hard to find any redeeming qualities in Cas ("bag em; shag em; and send em packing"), if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded with a very fascinating story, as like the "Grinch," Cas' heart grows two sizes by the end. It's amazing that someone like him would even bother with a gal like her. She's constantly nasty to him - any other guy would just leave, not wanting to be just another notch on her bedpost. Be sure to also check out the author's notes in the back.

I enjoyed this, but I found it hard to get absorbed in the beginning. I found the chapters too long, I love reading but always read before bed, so I am tired and it felt like a hard slog. When I was about 3/4 of the way through I wanted to keep reading. Ultimatly I enjoyed the book but not one of my favourites.
