But Quinn is really an undercover cop hunting down a serial killer, and he sees Lucy as his top suspect.

The female protagonist has a weak character and doesn't have much self confidence. The man is an idiot, risking his career at that stage of their relationship.
I wish I could say he did it because he was already in love with her, but really it just shows a man with a lack of forethought. All in all, turned out to be a terrible book. The only reason it got two stars was because the beginning plot was so intriguing- he was setting her up to be convicted of murder and she was just going about her life- this novel started with so much potential. Too bad so little of it was realized.

Sex, Lies, and Online Dating was a fun read for me. Lucy Rothschild is a fictional crime writer, who pals around with her other female author friends. Lucy is doing research for her latest book, by going on online dates and using the 'losers' that she meets up with as her victims in her book. During this process, she meets 'hardluvnman' aka Detective Quinn who is working undercover trying to solve a serial killer mystery in Boise, Idaho.
Being from Idaho, I can honestly say that the author, Rachel Gibson, has taken some creative license here. Boise is not really a hot bed of murder, let alone a place you would typically find a serial killer. I had to laugh when Detective Quinn asked Lucy if she had recently vacationed in Pocatello. Not exactly a vacation destination. But again, I give the author credit for taking some creative license and knowing that the book is fiction, I was able to put my realistic ideals behind me and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
I found it entertaining, and I read the book from front to back in one sitting.
I would not hesitate to recommend this book to others. This was a good read. It was easy to stay in the moment, flowed well and realistically plausible. The characters were a bit dated, the clothing descriptions and things like the house interiors But as it is an older book, I guess that's to be expected.
Still, it had a entertaining plot, and a few good laughs. Not too bad at all. Lucy is a writer working on her new novel; she is doing online dating strictly to for research purposes. She has meet all kinds of men, none of which she really wants to get to know better. Until she meets Quinn on a coffee date, she thinks he might me worth seeing again.

Quinn is wants to see Lucy again too, only problem, he is doing online dating because someone is killing men. The same men that Lucy has been going on dates with, so he is the cop who goes undercover to find out who is killing them and Lucy is a suspect. When Lucy goes to Quinns' house for another date a man is killed while she is there, now Quinn knows Lucy is the killer but she is pissed for getting played.
Lucy is a writer; she has a strong core of friends who are writers as well. She is level headed, but is lacking in the romance department. Quinn is a big tough hot cop; he also has a sense of right and wrong. Now she needs only one more victim to complete her book and hopes hardluvnman will provide the needed inspiration and then she is done. Quinn McIntyre, a cop of sixteen years, is a detective in the Violent Crimes Division who lives for his job.
He has no qualms lying to women and trapping a killer is just a part of his job, but he absolutely hates reciting the mushy lines to his pretend dates that others have written for him.
Sex, Lies, and Online Dating by Rachel Gibson
As he draws nearer and identifies himself as her date for the evening, Lucy is riveted by his extremely good looks and knows that there has to be something really wrong with him since no guy with such physical perfection trolls the chat rooms. Well, Lucy muses, the very nature of online dating rewards liars and that includes herself since she claims nursing as her profession. Before their visit ends, Lucy demonstrates her lack of nursing skills when a man sitting nearby chokes and she watches helplessly while Quinn saves his life.
When he requests yet another date in two days, hope begins to flutter somewhere inside her — could he possibly be one of those very few normal men who search the Internet for companionship? His pursuit certainly seems sincere and coupled with the fact that he has not pushed for a physical relationship is flattering in the extreme. It is clearly established that Lucy has met or communicated with all three victims within days of their death and Quinn can now personally attest that she is a habitual liar as well.
Her bitterness towards men in general and her insights into criminal behavior that she freely shares with Quinn are all the more damning and serve to place her front and center of the investigation.

But dangerous woman or not, Quinn is extremely attracted to Lucy and sometimes forgets when around her that he is just doing his job. I am not a fan of storylines wherein the leads lie about their actual identity, but the tension created in this instance made the interaction between Quinn and Lucy all the more delectable. An excerpt is included in the back and, by the way, Clare is a romance writer.
