Overview

What would you do if the gynecologist subbing for your regular doctor turned out to be your old high school crush?

Successful psychologist Dr. Jennifer Monroe does what any normal, well-adjusted woman would do. She makes an excuse to send the doctor and nurse from the room, dives into her clothes, and flees!

Unfortunately, her running away makes conscientious Dr. Penrose conclude she has some kind of sexual hangup. He's determined to refer her to another doctor for her health's sake. If he can just talk to her, he'll suggest counseling for what he thinks are emotional problems.

Jennifer refuses to take his phone calls, and she plans to never see him again. After all, Dallas is a big city. What are the odds that she'd ever run into him again? Even money when Fate lends a hand.

When Jennifer and Matt meet at a charity gala, he earnestly urges her to seek professional help. Jennifer is incensed that he seems to think she's some frigid old maid. All the old high school resentment floods back, fueling her determination to teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.

With Jennifer, payback is a scorcher. Kids play doctor, but these doctors play seduction games. And they're playing for keeps.

Will Matt recognize Jennifer? Will Jennifer lure him into her bed? Seduction and sex can be pretty funny when both sides play dirty!

"This was a great book!!! It was a quick read, once I started I couldn't put it down! It is the perfect balance of humor and sexy romance. The main character is so believable and you can definitely put yourself in her shoes right from the beginning with the detailed and creative writing style of Joan Reeves. I am hooked!!"

Fun Romantic Comedy, Reader Review by Nairia, 11/13/2011
"This book is entertaining from the start. Even on parts when I really didn't think it was believable I find myself with a smile in the face. This book is perfect for when you just want to read something that would make you laugh and relax. I recommend it!"

Editorial Reviews

C. Wicklund
Joan Reeves' JUST ONE LOOK, it's funny as hell, too.

We all have a memory of that special someone in high school, the one who turned us into knots and ultimately broke our hearts. For psychologist Jennifer Monroe, that memory comes in the drop-dead-gorgeous package of gynecologist Dr. Matt Penrose. But her unexpected encounter with the good doctor, 15 years after they broke up, is the stuff nightmares are made of. There's a last minute doctor substitution at the office where Jennifer go
Elaine Chase
Joan Reeves knows how to tell a sexy, totally tit-for-tat, love story. You'll laugh out loud over Dr. Jen's antics and retribution for the handsome Dr. Matt Penrose.

Don't we all have some high school memories that are never forgotten. But Jen certainly knows how to create new memories with Matt.

The writing is fun, crisp and the dialogue sexy. Here's a story and characters that will linger long after the book is over...in fact, you'll read it again and again. I know I did!
Harl Delos
Jennifer Monroe's regular ob-gyn is out of the office...she's about to be seen by the new guy but when she realizes that it's her high school crush...the guy who humiliated her so many years before, she flees....Romance novels are formulaic, of course. He loves her, and she loves him, but her insecurities drive her crazy...this novel manages to replace the angst with humor and spirit...resulting in...(a) fun read.... Recommended!
Senior Citizen
Totally hilarious for me. What are the odds of going for an annual GYN exam and finding out that the MD covering her regular physician was her high school crush, who doesn't even recognize her 15 years later. Of course, she promptly dismounts from the stirrups, flees in a panic leaving the good doctor completely baffled, but fate would have them meeting yet again. So he sets out to cure what he perceives as frigidity. I couldn't stop laughing.

Meet the Author

Hello! I'm Joan Reeves. I write funny, sexy, romances because I think the world needs more love and laughter. And passion! And committed relationships!

TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY A BOOK BY JOAN REEVES

10. Joan Reeves writes funny! Duh!

9. Joan Reeves writes sexy! Another Duh!

8. Joan Reeves is an overnight success, and it only took her 25 years to be proclaimed as one!

7. Joan Reeves writes stories that are like a "little vacation between the covers of a book."

6. Joan Reeves has a daughter getting married next spring. She can use the bucks. Seriously, do you know how much weddings cost?

5. Joan Reeves believes in the Weed Whacker Theory of Success. "Life is a big field of weeds. In the center of this giant patch of weeds is something we want--something called success. We're all on paths that resemble the spokes of a wheel, trying to get to the hub. Some of us have machetes, some have riding lawn mowers. Me? I'm armed with a rusty pocket knife." I need all the help I can get. Buy my book! Please?

4. Joan Reeves is basically lazy. If you don't buy her books, she'll stop writing and while away the hours reading her competitors' books, watching WHAT NOT TO WEAR (she could be a poster girl), cheesy sci fi movies, BUFFY reruns, and THE CLOSER--just to name a few of her TV addictions. Then she'll gain 50 pounds from eating Ding Dongs (required snack of The Closer), mope around the house complaining that she's fat, spend all her remaining book sale money on a new wardrobe, refuse to wear the new clothes because they're ugly, join a nudist colony, and get expelled because she'll do nothing but gripe and moan all day and who wants to see a naked fat woman complaining about how she could have been a contender?

3. Joan Reeves writes stories that will make you feel good.

2. Joan Reeves needs a new pair of shoes. Some of those really cute round-toe Mary Jane's at DSW and maybe a pair of gold evening shoes because they're so darn sexy. But, she can't support her shoe addiction without book sales.

1. Joan Reeves writes stories that will leave you with a smile.

Thank you for your consideration! In closing, I leave you with my Vision Statement, wise words by which I live. "It's never too late to live happily ever after."

Best Wishes,
Joan Reeves

    What a treat!

    I loved this book! If you haven't read JUST ONE LOOK, you're missing out on a great story. It's humorous, sexy to the max, and just plain entertaining. I read it on a blah afternoon, and it was an instant day brightener. I'm now going to look up Joan Reeves' backlist. If this is an example of the type of story she tells, I want to get every one of them!
