Product Description

Sexy, Complex and Satisfying!

HUMOR at its Best

Madison Lawhon, a writer and single mom, has a Bob problem. After dating seven Bobs and counting, her dating roster is coming up all toads.

A woman of faith, Madison's mother prays and asks God for a man for Madison - one not named Bob. When a psychic donut maker lands on her doorstep, Madison decides God isn't listening. Meanwhile, her mother's wayward prayer gains strength. Soon, a stranger, Jack Graham, arrives in town.

But Evelyn Lawhon's request has interference: Philip Bentley, the town playboy and Madison's past lover.

Philip has charm, intelligence and power. He always gets what he wants. Until Madison. In order to win her back, Philip funds a secret project - a designer aphrodisiac RU4ME.

The trouble with a secret. It must be told and someone else listened.

Enter Tully Goodenough, the homeless biologist, Stanley Buckus, the bogus security guard, and Isabelle, the harlot cat with half a tail, all eager to share the aphrodisiac's perks at any cost.

Do the math and the culprits of greed and the parties to humor add up to one fun-filled ride.

NO MORE BOBS features a diverse cast of characters trapped in a zany web of good intentions, greed and escalating hormones. A laugh-out-loud misadventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sassy heroine, a mystery, a gorgeous hero with a Jaguar, January 7, 2004
By N. Horner "deepsouthchick" (Vicksburg, MS United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No More Bobs is not just about a woman who can't find the right man (and for whom all the wrong men just happen to share the same name). It's about a single mother, struggling to make ends meet while pursuing her dream. This is a great book--funny, light, sweet, and compelling. The characters in this book are so unique and well-defined that I never had trouble remembering who they all were and what was going on, in spite of having to put the book down for days at a time because of the holidays (and even losing it for an entire week, at one point). Super reading. I can't wait for more by this author!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No More Bobs in 2004!, December 21, 2003
By Robert D. Holt (Mantua, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No More Bobs is a funny and enjoyable look into the life of writer Madison Lawhon, who has a rather Bob-filled dating past. Take it from a Bob, no good can come of that.
Madison's story opens with an appearance on a morning television program with a fat woman who speaks to animals and a voodoo doctor, and swiftly begins to add odd characters. Madison's dating history of toads suddenly means more than we think, as the fun cast begins to interact in this well-written tale.
Cynthia Borris's book should be on everyone's Christmas list this year. If not remember, No More Bobs in 2004! You'll be glad you did. Believe me, I know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just plain fun!, November 23, 2003
By "sundayjan" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews
No More Bobs is a fun-filled romp into the life of Madison Lawhon, a single mom with a Bob problem-all the guys she has dated were named Bob and all were less than dream dates. Add to the mix: Jack Graham,a man with an agenda; a cast full of quirky characters; and some weird science that includes an aphrodisiac and mutated frogs and you're in for a good time. All in all, a very enjoyable read.
