Synopsis

Spunky, sweet-natured Jessica Monroe is 34 years old and perfectly happy being single. A producer at a top-rated morning show with a coterie of fun friends and a busy nightlife, she isn't in any rush to meet a man. Her girlfriends, however, disapprove. And when they secretly place a personal ad on a hot singles Web site on her behalf, Jess is reluctantly hurtled into the topsy-turvy world of online dating, where frogs masquerade as princes—but your soul mate might be just one click away.

A laugh-out-loud whirlwind of disastrous dates ensues, from Simon, who seems dreamy over e-mail but ditches her at the dinner table, leaving her with the bill, to Graham, a self-described “Ferrari driver” who turns out to be a car salesman—with several (old, fat, bald, creepy, cheap, stuck-up) men in between. When an unforeseen event turns her world upside down, Jess starts to wonder if the qualities she thinks she wants in a man are what she ultimately needs. And whether, as a new mystery suitor appears in her e-mail in-box, Cupid has other possibilities up his sleeve . . .

With her sparkling sensibility and brilliant knack for rendering the foibles of modern love in a fresh, unforgettable way, Jane Moore has become one of the fastest-growing names in contemporary women's fiction. Told with her signature wit, wisdom, and sass, Love @ First Site is an irresistible tale about what happens when we start to look for love between the lines on a computer screen--and a winning, unputdownable look at contemporary romance.

AudiobooksNow review by Lavern on 2007-07-15 16:34:54

I could not get through this book to save my life. It started off with quite a bit of promise. By page 100 it just went downhill fast. I put it down, picked it back up, put it down...... The story goes nowhere. The 'heroine' in the book is shallow and after some time, you really do not care whether she EVERS meet anyone worthwhile or not. This is the friend that you avoid at all costs. I couldn't even rate this book with one star as I felt that was too much. I certainly hope that the author's other books are much better than this hodge podge.

Goodreads review by Noe on February 14, 2009

I think it's important to note that I gave this book four stars not because it was an incredible book or because it was superiorly (is that a word?) well written, but because it was fun and I really enjoyed reading it. It's funny how I found this book. I was at the library and I was looking for a dif......more

Goodreads review by Erina on January 14, 2014

For me, its an ok read to pass the time though the storyline does disappoint me because its just way off from what the title of the book scream out. It does pinned point some of the idea of "love @ first site" but didn't really quite deliver for me and the ending is just to all of sudden wrap it up......more

Goodreads review by Emily on July 22, 2018

This book did what Bridget Jones could not. It gave me a light, and a bit mindless pallet cleanser of a romance story with a lead character who actually had a personality! That said, I wouldn't look to this book for any depth that isn't spoon fed to you with giant neon sign over it saying "This is th......more

Goodreads review by JM on July 06, 2017

Oh, I cannot believe it. I finally got to finish this book. It does't normally take me long to read a novel but this book somehow dragged unbelievably long. So this book was supposedly about a thirty-four year old single british woman who found herself with a dating site profile, thanks to her not s......more

Goodreads review by Antonietta on October 07, 2022

This story is written all over the place. I understand it’s showing the multifaceted issues of her life but it’s as if she changes personalities with each event. It would’ve been great if it explored the wackiness of on-line dating. The fact She feels physical attraction to the one guy that treats he......more
