My favorite half-night stand

By the New York Times bestselling author who hilariously depicts modern dating (Us Weekly), My Favorite Half-Night Stand is a laugh-out-loud romp through online dating and its many, many fails.

Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she s a female-serial-killer expert who s quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single.

So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that they ll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic.

But online dating isn t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millie s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter Catherine Millie s fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she s ever been in person. Soon Catherine and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship...but Millie can t resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear intimacy or risk losing her best friend, forever.

Perfect for fans of Roxanne and She s the Man, Christina Lauren s latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, hijinks, and a classic love story with a modern twist. Funny and fresh, you ll want to swipe right on My Favorite Half-Night Stand.
